This might be an interesting video but I’m sorry who’s got two and a half hours spare to watch it, I certainly haven’t.
Anyone posting a video should write their own synopsis and explanation as readers have one or two minutes and can get the gist in that time. When the characters involved are fantastical like Musk, I’m afraid my scepticism takes over – but if a synopsis can give good understanding, then I might be tempted. We don’t want to become a copy and paste site. We want to add our own views to what’s available elsewhere. Or what’s the point?
Good points and I will try to follow that advice. Not that I post many vids, mainly texts that are self explanatory
3 low level spooks talking about a fake spook character
Musk is as fake as a nine bob note, has been from the start. He’s a made man and the foundation of his fortune came direct from the US Treasury
Both Tesla and SpaceX [should be called CGI-X] are government projects that entirely rely on government funding to make a “profit”
TwitterX too realistically. All Silicon Valley stuff came out of Pentagon/CIA, the Military Intelligence Complex
Does anyone think that they really gave it all to such an unreliable character as Musk? Why would they do that? He’s an actor like all the other massively wealthy front men are
Does SpaceX even exist beyond large Roman Candle Rockets? How would we know?
If you wish to denigrate Max, Patrick, and Aaron, that is your business. I happen to respect them for the stand they are taking re the Jewish?israeli issue. I have known Patrick personally from the early days of Ian R Crane’s Alternative View conferences.
I don’t think it reflects well on any of us to speak ill of them and their work. We should all be working together, as division is exactly what the 1% are trying to create. Why give it to them?
Did you reply to the wrong comment danceaway? I presume that was meant for mine further down?
Whatever, I didn’t denigrate them further down, nor did I say anything about their work. I just pointed out public info which makes me suspicious
Apart from the slimy Henningsen, about who I gave my honest opinion and impression. No, I’ve no idea what he’s like in person, but his screen persona is rank to my eyes, shifty and untrustworthy. He’s in the wrong job
I presume that you don’t dispute my comments about Musk above then? Spook, spook, spook
Finally, I’m not creating division at all, just giving my honest opinion and some facts. I will never stop doing that whatever anyone else thinks, I believe in freedom of speech regardless of where it leads….
Sorry, but I don’t agree Henry.
I use my judgement in which people I choose to post, but leave it up to the reader to decide whether or not to listen.
I have learned that both Max and Patrick are interesting, as is Aaron, but it is not up to me to tell the reader what they have to say. The reader can listen and make.up their own mind if they so choose.
The Tap has been operating in this fashion for years and years now. If you wish it to revert to your original format then that is fine for you to pursue that route. But I shall continue to post as I have done for a very long time.
If readers choose to ignore my posts because I have not written a synopsis, that is up to them.
That’s telling you Tap! Not much room for compromise there
As an aside, Henry, I listened to the interview with Prof Marandi which you recently posted and wrote a “synopsis” of, and to my ears what you wrote was not what he said, but your own assessment of the situation. I must say I was astonished. I kept my mouth shut at the time since criticism is not my style.

Patrick Henningsen, not much info available, once “Associate Editor of alternative news site Infowars.com”, say no more. One look at his demeanour is enough for me, wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him
Pete, I can only gather that you have never listened to Max or Aaron or Aaron’s dad telling their background and evolution; it is fascinating. Wikipedia as your go to source? Really, Pete?
And judging Patrick in the way you choose to; well there are no words.
Yes, you have the benetit of free speech; no one is stopping you. So go for it; and I will go my way as well, doing my best to show respect for men like Max, Aaron, Aaron’s dad and brother, and Patrick as human beings, if nothing else.
My go to source? Come on danceaway, I only go there to see the “official” story. With a bit of practice and knowing what to look for then it can be very revealing. Red flags all over those 2
Spielers spiel that’s their job, I’m not obliged to believe them
Respect has nothing to do with it either. Respect is earned not a given
Your appeal to their humanity is universal to humans isn’t it and I’ve never questioned that in anybody. Nor done anything to hurt anybody, at least not much, we are all human. Do no harm, the first rule on natural law
Well, those three have earned my respect, Pete.
And your comment about Patrick, someone whom you don’t. even know, comes close to being slander. It is totally unnecessary; feel free to have such opinions, but perhaps keep them to yourself? Is it really necessary to bring out the attack dogs in this way?
They’ve not earned mine danceaway, I suppose that must be obvious by now…. 🙂
Slander? Attack dogs? Come on, he’s a public figure and so he invites opinion, they all do. He’s fair game and what I say is totally irrelevant to him I expect
The worst thing of all for such creatures is that NOBODY talks about them. All publicity is good for them, whether critical or praise. They are all media folk after all, ie not to be trusted as a default mode
Well there we are; you mistrust all media. That says it all.
But you could lay off, Pete.
For you maybe! Common sense for me
Lay off what?
I’m a wooly back scouser, danceaway, I can go on for as long as you want 🙂
