There is a big risk of Endeavor pissing off enough fight fans of their different brands that they will take a break from consumption.

A fair amount of UFC fans want nothing to do with WWE. Some WWE fans want nothing to do with UFC or bull riding.

But the private equity guys are playing the odds and hoping they can peel a few fans here and …

Mark Shapiro's Slop Synergy system for TKO

What Ari Emanuel is attempting with Endeavor/TKO has never been attempted before. He’s the most powerful man in combat sports history and there’s every indication this is just a pump and dump for him.

Where is the substack hip hop community at? Like the fans of rap in general but also the ppl who really love boom bap shit? People who still listen to backpack rap but also know about the young torchbearers?

I need to connect with those folk.

This is really wonderful advice that you could use to do political study, learn to write in a new form or genre, or start a reading group with friends.

How to Design A Self-Guided Study

My older sister tried telling me there is something better than being right. Naturally, I didn’t listen.

Grow your publication on Substack

Medicaid didn't go offline because it was too "woke."

School lunch programs weren't put at risk because of immigrants.

Funding for cancer research wasn't on the chopping block because of trans people.

All of this (and more) was jeopardized because of one person: Donald Trump.

This was the note taking guide I’ve been looking for. Simple and makes intuitive sense, but takes discipline to actually stick to.

What “Sage” doesn't tell you in this shallow critique is that Jay raised up Sage, feeding him inside info. Sage would not exist without Jay.

I think you miss the mark. The main reason why Sage exists is because he is hilarious and people appreciate that.

I get that there are some people in popcorn munching mode who find it funny. I also get that such distraction keeps people from understanding what is going on. Sage gatekeeps to a small portion of the big picture, acting among frenzy, as an alt pied Piper. That's precisely what I'm pointing out.

Gatekeeper fest! That’s the accusatory spirit of Mercury Retrograde.

You need a better critique, framed in a pedagogic way.

Stanford Jay has proven to be a great political player and has earned a tiny portion of power by using the strategy of staying on the same message for years. He hasn’t ever budged as far as I know.

Sage Hana is a mere semi-anonymous internet commentator who makes great efforts to antagonize readers and keep the audience manageable, because (and this is his stated reason) he …

“Jay has always been a consistent hero ..”

You begin the conversation putting the hero on a mantle. How can I take this seriously when you've done no research on the man, or at least dodged doing it?

I can only assume at this point that you're either a ShillAnon, promoting parasocial heroes in some PR campaign, or a zombie incapable of doing basic research.

When I was months ahead on showing the vaccines didn't work (Feb 2021), safety signal procedure was ignored (June 2021), and killed people (Au…

I haven’t used the word hero.

I have written “great political player” and not “hero” because I don’t see political players as heroes.

Had I wanted to say hero, I would have written hero.

Jay was consistent. Consistency in message is essential to achieve political goals. Nothing about this has anything to do with truth or justice. I’m talking about politics. Let’s be realists for a bit.

Did they sideline you? Well, you were a loose cannon. You actually wanted truth. Consistency demanded for their gr…

“I have written “great political player” and not “hero” because I don’t see political players as heroes.”

Stop with the rhetorical word play.

Yes, Jay was consistent in his role play.

“Did they sideline you? Well, you were a loose cannon. You actually wanted truth.”

Ah, I see. No appreciation for bringing to light the ineffectiveness of the vaccines, the damage they were doing, the methods used to hide it all, or the psyops being run (DMED and elsewhere) all over the playing field. It’s all about w…

I’m all ears. What’s the story?

I just told it. Sage admitted it to me, that he was a nobody on Twitter, but Jay would feed him intel, and then he would get retweeted, building up his profile signature.

Now Sage is “exposing people” by making the same observations anyone else can make, with sarcasm added, but unrepentantly supporting their propaganda productions like Died Suddenly without even viewing it, or being willing to have a conversation about it.

Jay and Malone couldn't have chosen better opposition.

Why is this important to you?

Matthew, though I see you as an honest broker, I often have trouble with your commentary trying to figure out what you are really saying. Do you have reason to believe that Dr B is suddenly going to awake to the no pandemic all interventions-bad truth?

My next article will explain some of my Big Picture perspective.

The protege realizes their benevolent benefactor was a corrupt fraud all along. It happens.

I doubt that interpretation as complete.

Sage is on Twitter/X? What's the handle? I’d like to follow him.

But Jay is an absolute menace with his pseudoscience support for tyranny.

He’s been put in the administration for the same reason as everyone else.

Will you expand on this please?

The CDC Child and Adolescent Vaccine Schedule causes a lifetime of chronic illness and disability. This creates a permanent underclass that is factory farmed to generate payments to the Pharma/Hospital Industrial Complex. It’s the most extreme form of ruling class oppression in history.

I suddenly realise all the Covid-19 nonsense could be considered through the lens of the common good. And all those who refused to play ball failed to adhere to the universal moral framework.

In fact, all those who refused were literally considered the scum of the earth, unworthy of hospital care, employment and so forth.

That’s how it’ll work in the future. Cooperate with the ‘common good’, or be denied the right to be human per your crooked politicians and ‘experts’.
