Controlled demolition.

Wife saw the lion with a machine gun in it's mouth, and said no way, April Fool's, so I just checked. Yep. This is the new look.
Effin' craaaaaay! I guess he has to simp up to his new idol, the Naturopath with semi-automatic. The only think that is getting totally shot down is the old forum, RPF.
or 
?
Not sure if the RPF is sick or already dead. We are the Spirit of RPF, so carry on in great earnest and with diligence and with vitality. -
@ilovethesea said in Charlie's Motivation? His New Avatar Is Holding A Gun In It's Mouth! Savior Complex? Businessman? Or Has The raypeatforum Owner Lost His Mind?:
Mercola is also tied in here and I think we’ll also see further regulation in the supplement industry to “protect” us of course.
I get your suspicions, but I'm not sure Mercola is involved. For one thing, I see the agenda being pushed to find alternate explanations for vaccine injuries -- to distract and divide public perception -- and he has been consistently critical of vaccines and was one of the 'Disinformation Dozen' that was censored during COVID. He put out a tweet a while back stating that the new COVID booster was available now after being tested on a few lab rats, lol. The other thing is that he claims to have been targeted/assets frozen or something by the banks and was harrassed by the state in that manner. He also rebuffed Charlie when he tried to induct him into the Vitamin A nonsense, and has praised Dr. Peat's work and credited him with changing his views and dietary advice. He's not a Ray Peat, obviously, and is more of a supplement salesman, but I think the attempts to vilify him or suggest that he is controlled opposition come from the powers that be, just like they're trying to link Peat to the CIA. I think the RPF used Mercola's interest in Ray Peat's work and the new traffic that would bring to double-down and intensify the 'toxic A' narrative, and they're still trying to bring him into the fold as I saw Garrett Smith pining for an interview with him on his wife's Twitter feed. Just my current assessment.
Edit: I think Mercola may be one of the ones they are looking to 'regulate'.
Edit: There were some weird rumors going around about his spiritual awakening or something similar and it was made out to sound crazy, not coincidentally, I don't think, around the time he began talking about Ray Peat or shortly thereafter. He fired a good portion of his staff, if I recall correctly. Even his wife chimed in, but I perceived that more of a relationship where she wasn't privvy to all of his thoughts and business decisions, and perhaps some of the online chatter/propaganda even influenced her perceptions. What I saw after that was him talking about bringing joy into his life and his health advice to people, and something inspired him to offer all of his articles for free (yes, you have to provide an e-mail and get annoying newsletters, but a step in the right direction, IMO). Something tells me that Ray Peat's writings may have inspired some of these changes in him.

@C-Mex I don’t think he’s directly involved with the downfall of RPF no. But a suspicious character nonetheless.

The clue is right there in the article.
The National Vaccine Information Center advocates for more public awareness about vaccine safety, or lack thereof. This is consistent with Mercola's messaging. They go on to question anything with 'national' in the title as somehow sinister. This is taken from the psychological profiles they've developed on all of indicating skepticism of anything official sounding, nationalist or globalist, etc., but it's a ruse. This site appears to be meant to inform the public on the risks of vaccines. There are some congresspeople and attorneys general that are going after the truth, mostly on the Republican side.
I can't find Mercola's Swine Flu Video, but he wrote a book called the Great Swine Flu Hoax, also consistent with his messaging. They just imply that is somehow nefarious.
The Organic Consumers Association is concerned with the use of pesticides, factory farming and genetic engineering of crops, advocating for regenerative farming practices and for small farmers. This also seems consistent with his messaging. Honestly I see that this is a person who is actually taking action by supporting these organizations.
This is just a hit-piece and it looks like they have gone after him, have persecuted him and are using clever and emotive language but right there in the text they admit that his 1.5 million donation to the NVIC prompted the investigation into his business and subsequent charges. I'd say they're trumped-up (pardon the expression).

Let’s not forget Mercola’s comment about Progest E which caused a rift between Danny and Haidut (now resolved).

Yes, I read that conversation. I think it was the salesman in him. He obviously is profit-driven and was likely looking to develop a 'better' product.
Edit: I'm not a Mercola stan, but I think he is just a flawed perhaps egotistical individual with a profit-driven model of 'success'.
