    I am calling psyop. The CIA knew he was a nonce so that is why they allowed him to get big. They could ether get him to the island to controll him or hang him out if they wanted.

        I mean, we can factually prove they have taken people out for less. However, this was an unforced error. This just the kinda guy that is likely to get flipped by agencies. They want a guy that is not too sharp. It makes them easier to manipulate

      he has less than half a million subs on YT. i don't think he's relevant enough for the feds to care about

        From the reports of their activities back in cointelpro they spent real hours infiltrating even small local groups. It would fit entirely within the time and resource budget for a desk agent to occasionally look over a his youtube content and have a few bots boost his streams in rankings just in case they wanted to use him later.

        Worth noting though that half a mil viership puts him in line with like NBC News most nights. Or if not them plenty of other such entities.

            For an organization with infinite budget turning a dial on the youtube backend so he might develop into a useful asset is such a small investment of time and energy it would be silly for them not to.

      I feel like he'd be less pro-Palestine if he was an op. Also, why bother? His fans are so lib brained I doubt there was much risk of them becoming actual leftists even without Vaush's help.

        Would you expect him to know if he was an op? It wouldn't be like he is getting memos. Some underpaid nsa contractor just adds or subtracts juice from his algorithm the more he stays on brand. He will train himself overtime. Or he won't. Like you said he isn't that important so no big loss if he doesn't develop.

        Or it could be some other opp I haven't heared of

        It's perfect that he's pro-palestine while still being pro-nato/pro-west. It's a completely incoherent position if you think about it at all, but his viewers won't. Instead of rejecting him for being anti-palestine and no longer getting the NATO/west propaganda he spews, their belief in his correctness and decency gets confirmed while still funneling pro-west shit into their empty brains.

        Wouldn't op-Vaush being pro-Palestine be a good thing for zionists since they can use this to discredit pro-Palestinian sentiments? Also from what I heard Vaush is against the red sea blockade so he still falls in 'I support tragic victims but not effective resistance'.
