Gavin, and Lauren were also let go because of how batshit crazy they were.<br /><br />Ezra defended Gavin's 7 zillion things I hate about Jews piece, but the writing was on the wall afterwards. Gavin was toast because of it. Lauren has proven the World over Ezra was keen(an) to get rid of her.<br /><br />Ezra brings them in moldable, and when he fires them, they're fully radicalized and dangerous. Gavin started a fucking terrorist organization in the Proud Boys, and Lauren's Mom would have won a Nobel had she crossed her legs at birth.<br /><br />He also teaches them the grift of getting others to pay their bills.RogueNerdOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087657877258157160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-51648481434226481082022-05-31T04:27:22.824-04:002022-05-31T04:27:22.824-04:00I've heard from a number of sources that Bexte...I've heard from a number of sources that Bexte was given the boot from Rebel News because he was (hard to believe as it may be) too batshit crazy and legally dangerous even for Ezra.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406057201126015750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-84987565744377625652022-05-30T13:49:09.063-04:002022-05-30T13:49:09.063-04:00It had been a while since I visited the Countersig...It had been a while since I visited the Countersignal (my appetite for near-psychotic delusion is not huge), but in light of this thread, I thought I'd spin by and see what the albino brownshirt was obsessing about now. He did not disappoint. <br />His headline: "Scientists blame space chemicals for rise in heart attacks!" <br />The actual story; scientists have identified a new class of compounds that form in the atmosphere, have been around for as long as the planet has had an atmosphere, and which may or may not at some point have some undetermined impact on terrestrial organisms. <br />No "space". No "rise in heart attacks" (this kind of molecule has existed in the atmosphere for millions of years.) In fact, no story beyond a minor chemical discovery. <br />What must it be like to live inside that terrified, uncomprehending brain of his??<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-63808329401064047562022-05-30T13:14:58.075-04:002022-05-30T13:14:58.075-04:00Given Keean's somewhat tenuous grasp on realit...Given Keean's somewhat tenuous grasp on reality (of all the Rebel and ex-Rebel crew, he's the only who actually seems to really believe some of the wilder fantasies he spins), the risibly poor quality of his site (https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-counter-signal-bias/), and the fact that his site, like the Rebel, has NO apparent sponsors or advertisers, it seems Keean has adopted his mentors approach to fundraising - ask for money for everything, and pour the undifferentiated revenues into a vault like Scrooge McDuck. Since he's not accountable to anyone for tracking or spending, it's not illegal - just deeply unethical. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-79777330723520799142022-05-30T09:37:00.024-04:002022-05-30T09:37:00.024-04:00I went one step further and calculated CDN potenti...I went one step further and calculated CDN potential costs if he's self hosting all his own videos, which he is not.<br /><br />I got a MAXIMUM of $730/month at his current growth rate.<br /><br />Honestly, I can't see where he'd need $13,000 for hosting fees. His breakdown doesn't add up. His explanation of 5000 visitors a month doesn't jive with Fastly's bandwidth model of CDN costs which are $0.01 higher than Amazon's S3, which is exactly what they're using.<br /><br />Sorry, I don't buy Keean's story for a second. As someone who's hosted websites for over a decade using my own servers spread all over the world building my own CDN network.<br /><br />I've never charged someone more than $2000 and that was for spamming emails.RogueNerdOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087657877258157160noreply@blogger.com
