Whitney Webb discusses how Thiel created Vance. I remain wary and cautious of this provenance.
That said Vance has done the right thing by calling out the insufferable western european totalitarianism.
Discussion
I like Whitney. She does some great research.
I think one of her flaws is a reliance on guilt by association. I've heard her say in a few podcasts that person-1 was in a photo with person-2, who is a bad guy, so person-1 must be bad.
But if I was seen in a pic with epstine, I’m sure many eyebrows would be raised… surely that’s a valid cause for concern?
It may be a cause for concern and a reason to start looking for more actual evidence of wrong doing.
There aren't that many rich people in the world, and rich people go to rich people parties. They take tons of photos with tons of people. That doesn't mean you can transfer the wrong doing of all those people on to them. I've taken lots of photos with people. I'm sure many of them have done bad stuff.
If Vance is on the client list, that we've been told will be released, that would be actual evidence and a reason to start an investigation.
Guilt by association has been, and always should be, rejected if actual justice is the goal. Otherwise, it is cancel culture at it's best and mobs with pitchforks at it's worst. Witch trials and Stasi East Germany.
So her only evidence was a photo or a collection of photos?
Everything is a rabbit hole with Whitney. The fact that she is still alive makes me think she's being fed this stuff to make everyone feel hopeless.
I’m down for some Whitney Webb perspective…verify
