Each time we meet at one of our Speakeasy zoom salons or when we’re interviewing guests, invariably there comes a time when someone says, ‘Jim was right.’
My podcast partner Jim Stewartson has been the target of a three-year operation to make him radioactive for one simple reason: he was right. From the very beginning, Jim identified those behind radicalization operations to harm the minds of millions of Americans, in the furtherance of extremist right-wing agendas and the Kremlin’s agenda. My first interview with him offers a great boiler plate explainer.
Today, when interviewing disinformation researcher Livia Ponzio, who infiltrated a QAnon group in Europe in 2018 and saw it become militarized, as members said ‘they were taking direction from Mike Flynn’, multiple Bette members said, ‘Jim was right’. Days ago, a video was released of Flynn hanging out in a zoom of QAnon adherents.
Bottom line, Mike Flynn is suing Jim Stewartson because Jim is unfailingly doing everything he can to make America aware of the attacks we are under, and who is orchestrating the attacks. Jim pioneered alternate reality gaming and witnessed something he created for fun and for community be weaponized — turning people into soldiers in an anti-democratic army, foot soldiers for J6 and ultimately cannon fodder for the violence extremists are attempting to gin up.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Jim’s legal fees. We are raising money for the countersuit, which will include identifying the leaders of the digital army waging war against Jim.
If you haven’t yet, please watch the film he made one month after the Insurrection. It’s important:
Jim warned people to not go to Washington DC, while fake QAnon ‘experts’ were telling people not to worry.
Jim knew that the pro-democracy activists who showed up would be the marks. Instead, the radicalized cult members were left to assault police officers, people like Aquilino Gonell, who protected our nation.
For those who are new to RadPod and the work we do, here is a letter from OSINT investigative researcher Brent Allpress — whose work has appeared in multiple documentaries — which explains the ongoing attacks:
I’m dashing off this quick note to all of you who have stuck behind us through hard times, and who have been unwavering in your support.
It’s getting more and more difficult for American Monsters to obfuscate the truth.
It’s getting harder for them to hide their deceit, because more of you are paying attention.
I thank you for that.
One last thing, I did this interview with Jim a year ago, icymi…
Thanks for paying attention.
