It's wild that in our age the oft-derided "reflexive contrarian" Michael Tracey is the one who does NOT believe in sinister cabals. And gets accused daily of running cover for sinister cabals.

The truth is there ARE some conspiracies, but they're utterly banal and usually wide in the open if you look with any kind of industry knowledge to make them legible. The real conspiracies are of the character that Michael exposed w/r/t to the law firms siphoning cash from banks by exploiting the alleged Epstein victims.

Are there polls indicating belief in the existence of a pedophile ring today? I sus0ect it has broad bipartisan support.

But, generally speaking, aren't(now weren't) Democrats - registered or otherwise - of the younger generations and older generations Republicans?

This is of course, amongst the majority um... population that are "whites". The examples cited here seem to reflect that.

Of course, there are minority-ladened issues/problems and again the divide would be similar - Internet not required.

Generally, but age isn't as much of a predictor as you might think.

Here are some exit polls from 2000.

It's split pretty evenly for different age groups. A 30-49 year old was 2pp more likely to vote for Bush than Gore.

There's a bigger split in 2024, but not that huge.

The most polarized age groups have a ~54/44 split. A randomly selected young person will be a republican 4/9th of the time and a democrat 5/9th of the time. Not a huge difference.

It’s an empirical fact that George Bush knew 9/11 was coming because of the August 6th Presidential Daily Brief entitled “Bin Laden Determined To Strike In US”.

He did exactly nothing about it and remained on vacation.

I have a biblical view. I believe September 11th was punishment from God. Sort of like Moses lifting up the tablets and cursing the Israelites into a miniature holocaust. We are a PAGAN nation that worships w0e-MEN and oppresses BOYS & MEN., I believe Bin Laden was an agent of God and not a bad person. I have no motive to say these things accept they are my beliefs.
