New "Mission" of RPF

ThinPicking

There’s a chap called “ThorTorrens” buzzing around Smith's tweets, occasionally shading Ray, engaging in anti-carrot extremism and doing his best Bradley Cooper impression.

Great catch.

@C-Mex

This what passes for science I guess in this controlled opposition campaign.

You probably can follow a yellow brick road of utter stupidity all the way to the tippity top of civilisation.

What surprises me is that no one over there seems bothered that the bean queen, Karen Hurd, was an Army Captain, Military Intelligence, between 1980-84.

@ThinPicking

Didn't take long to find this. It's not the vaccines folks, it's the Vitamin A!

Thank you very much, I didn't know about this!
It's fascinating to listen to this piece https://youtu.be/cY0QqoJM7LU?t=2428 LOL!

I guess that what he said as a comment to "RP diet" should be the main banner of the forum.

Moreover, it would be great to have a bot - If someone used the words RP diet in a post, the bot would reply with this video clip/quote.

Goes to motive.

For those who are missing the current political climate in the US, Rand Paul, Thomas Massie and other congressmen are openly questioning and investigating COVID origins as a potential bioweapon created simultaneously with the vaccine, while Trump continues to laud his success with the Operation Warp Speed COVID Vax and with vaccine-skeptic RFK Jr on the presidential ballot as an Independent, drawing some Republican votes away from Trump. Many cite Trump's inability to come clean on the COVID disaster and warp-speed vaccine rollout as reasons they're not voting for him again. To me, this looks like a pharma/MIC funded counter narrative focusing on Trump supporters, which Trump may or may not be aware of. He was duped (or bought, some say) out of having a vaccine safety committee at the beginning of his presidency which he asked RFK Jr to lead, after Bill Gates told him it was a bad idea, and he failed to 'drain the swamp' at the NIH, CDC, FDA, et al. It is becoming more widely understood that vaccines are not subject -- exempted by law -- to the same testing standards as other pharmaceutical drugs and they've used censorship and character assassination up to now to obscure this fact and avoid scrutiny, but some of those tactics have been challenged in court, up to the Supreme Court and as a First Ammendment violation of Freedom of Speech. Meanwhile, studies keep coming out indicating harm caused by the COVID vaccines and the regulatory agencies are coming under fire for lack of transparency for only releasing highly redacted reports which were funded entirely at taxpayer expense. They desperately need a scapegoat and a red herring, anything to muddy the waters.

It's a convenient narrative for the powers that be no matter where you fall on the political spectrum. It doesn't have to be proven or true, they just need to get people to believe it.

What's crazy is that interview is from like 2015, and you'd think the admin of the "Ray Peat Forum" would have known about that. Charlie and Garret have basically created a fictitious caricature because otherwise they'd not have anything to critique...except their own actions that is. I didn't know carrot fiber was the only fiber allowed on the Ray Peat diet, I don't think Ray knew either, lol.

Yeah, they follow exactly the trail of other con men and snake oils salesmen to blind common people with false superficial dichotomies and (too easy) "miracle solutions" quackery...

And I guess that lion is probably more of just a pawn/puppet in this game...

Does anyone know how much the activity level has fallen on RPF? The forum must be dying at this point. I sensed that it got quickly worse after Raymond's death. It seemed to be the second turning point. The first turning point was Copevid, when every conspiracy imaginable arrived on the forum.

Yeah, ironically "the lion" is the beta in this partnership. Garrett while being a con man, is certainly much smarter. He saw opportunity to create something from an emerging demographic of seemingly lost people. When people are at their most vulnerable, and desperately seeking another "answer," that's when it's time to strike hot. In many respects, Charlie is just another one of those lost people. But due to his access to what was once a pretty popular forum, it seemed prudent to use him as a facilitator of sorts.

It's hard to gauge from the outside looking in. You can see there's still 9,000 something member, with a new member added every so often. Can't remember the forum's peak membership, but I'm thinking it was around 10,000. So stats would have you believe the forum has only saw a marginal decrease, if any at all.

The issue with that is every forum only has roughly 20% of it's members being continuously active on it. The rest are either sporadically active at the most, and some are just pure lurkers who never participate in discourse. The actual discourse on the forum, both in terms of quantity and quality, has radically dissipated.

But if you really want to know why that is, I think it has less to do with the toxin A stuff and more to do with Charlie making the forum a premium membership. Sure, some of the major contributors were essentially "grandfathered" over into the space without paying...but then Charlie started banning people, lol.

Here's more simulated anti-pharma, anti-establishment rhetoric. Note that the problem isn't the quality or the ingredients in the supplements that are sold, but that they can sell you anything and should be regulated, especially since the entire industry is actually 'big pharma in disguise"
