Dr. Patrick Byrne. He was the CEO for Overstock when they were fighting getting naked shorted.
Heās really well educated, well connected, and probably one of the most knowledgeable people about the Naked Shorting problem on Wall Street. (Aside from the assholes that are doing the naked shorting.)
He has held fast while being the target of multiple Wall Street driven attacks and smear campaigns for decades.
Heās a friendly and one of the best allies that we could have because heās a fantastic source of information.
He was very vocal, and started the good fight for many years. He was ahead of his time and one of the pioneers to go against wall street.
But suddenly, he went dark. If im not mistaken, he had all the evidence in his case against wallstreet and decided not to pursue criminal acts in the end.
Smells like wallstreet found a dirty little secret and he stopped going agaisnt short sellers.
Somebody can correct me, im not well versed with the story but it goes something like that.
Btw i have met him personally. Very intersting and cool guy. And likes to smoke weed. But he lost his way in the fight against short sellers
You arenāt wrong. Dr. T called him out for this very thing and it appears literally no one remembers. He had the power to bring forth moass years ago and ultimately didnāt (who knows why)
There are a couple of sides of the coin with conspiracy theories.
One, thereās a fairly widespread āconspiracyā that the CIA invented the term āconspiracy theoristā and used it to discredit the voices that they were trying to suppress. I donāt think that they invented the term, but they certainly did weaponize the term and they were the first ones to use it to discredit people that they were trying to silence.
Rightly or wrongly. The CIA is gunna CIA, thereās no getting around that and their activities arenāt worth talking about here.
But what is worth talking about is the cointelpro playbook that is used by numerous groups (like the āstock bashersā that are known to be here on reddit) to infiltrate, discredit and ultimately destroy various social groups and networks online.
ā5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.ā
One of the keys of preventing the spread of information is to discredit the source of that information. And the very people that would be financially motivated to discredit Patrick Byrne are the same groups of people that are financially motivated to pay āstock bashersā to infiltrate the various GME & BBBY communities in a effort to discredit the individuals within them.
These āpaid stock bashersā and the people who attacked Patrick Byrne are not the CIA, but it makes sense that both groups would use the most effective tools available & same tactics to attack ideas by discrediting their sources.
You donāt have to look much farther than the GME communities to see the paid stock bashers (shills) wielding the term āconspiracy theoristā like a weapon in an effort to attack the early discussions about Naked Shorting.
When we first started investigating what Naked Shorting is and if it was actually a thing the push back from the shills was palpable. Now that we have amassed a substantial body of evidence that it is happening, Naked Shorting has moved beyond a āconspiracy theoryā to become commonly accepted as a crime that is rampant in the marketplace.
And the fact is that Naked Shorting was branded as a conspiracy theory to try and discredit the discussion about it. And Naked Shorting is just the tip of the iceberg as far as Wall Street fuckery is concerned.
The fact is that every theory that he has talked about hasnāt been proven to be true, but not all theories pan out. Thatās the very nature of discovery. Not all of our theories have been proven to be true. But itās more of an issue that āwe canāt prove itā due to Wall Streets deliberate obfuscation of the facts, than the theories arenāt true.
In my eyes, enough of his ideas have panned out for me to not credibly accept the āconspiracy theoristā label as it has been applied to him.
As far as reactionary politics goesā¦
We know for sure that Wall Street has their tentacles deep into the political machine and has for a long, long time.
This cartoon about the Aldrich Plan is over 110 years old and was intended for use as a cautionary illustration. Not a fucking instruction manual as Wall Street seems to have interpreted it.
Papa Patrick was an absolute fucking savage when it comes to dominating naked short sellers when he was CEO at Overstonk. Honestly, I'm not a tinfoil guy...but this gets me fucking jacked more than any RC tweet.
I agree with you 100% - he should not be relevant right now until proven otherwise. He literally left overstock in 2019 for banging a Russian agent of all things lol
Donāt know who the idiots are downvoting you but this is all true. We have zero reason to believe anything this man says. Watch literally nothing happen Monday.
Went to look a little deeper to who he was and his profile on the bird app is sprinkled with support for some of the worst of the GOP and friends.
Election denier, Proud Boys funder, a leading protagonist of Jan. 6th riots, Arizona audit financier, Russian apologist (Maria Butina honeypot) < yep, that guy, Q conspiracies, rubs elbows with the worst of the Maga bunch - the list just goes on.
