RE: Brock Pierce Removed From EOS After Surprising Attack By John Oliver

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

I don't think it was out of the blue.

EOS has had a massive amount of funding and over a year to produce....nothing. Oliver was right in casting suspicion on such a massive project. Brock's shallow attempts to hype the project only made it worse.

Brock Pierce was an easy target, likely a pedophile and altogether the perfect example of a Crypto Chad Douche. Oliver is a comedian and knew he only had to let the guy speak to turn it into a joke. Clinton has nothing to do with it.

Sort:  

My question was more: why now? Than "why, at all?"

The issues re: Brock's past have been 'An open secret' for a while now.

Clinton may have nothing to do with it but the establishment media, hollywood crowd, and the democratic establishment are deeply intertwined, which is why it was so surprising that Weinstein got called out as well. Not because it was surprising that it happened, but that after sitting on the story for years, The New York Times just suddenly out of apparently nowhere changes its mind? Multiple outlets sat on this story or prevented it being published - what changed? In both cases the question would be, who benefits? And in both cases, I don't have an answer.

I noted early on in the Weinstein scandalization that it was a move to overshadow #pizzagate which had gained a lot of traction, and was hitting hard right in the center of the Washington DC cesspit. James Alefantis was one of the 50 most influential people in DC, and arguably one of the most influential people in the world as a result.

The celebrity swirl has subsided, and the pizzagate story was swept out to sea with it. It is a classic example of using celebrity scandal to control narrative and bury stories.

I don't think the Pierce attack was related, as that train has left the station. Something else is going on with Pierce. Perhaps he has repented and changed his ways, making him dangerous to the powerbrokers that remain devoted to their deviance. Dunno. That's the best guess I can come up with out of zero actual knowledge of him and his present life.

I would also be shocked were EOS to put a great deal of stake in the odors wafting from John Oliver and his handlers. EOS isn't dependent on their ilk, and is indeed aimed at their hearts, unless @dan has been convinced to go over to the dark side.

That doesn't seem likely.
