They wrote a game plan, contacted friendly management and said, "Look, do it all together and 1) you make it look inevitable, which reduces the backlash, and 2) the backlash gets evenly divided between all of you." It's clearly a reply to Cernovich's operation against Gunn. 2/2

"But crisis actors, but children, Alex Jones deserves it!" Sure. How long ago was the crisis actor rant? March. How long ago was the Gunn firing? Late last month. Cernovich has a hosting gig on Infowars. This is retaliation. The right takes a pawn, the left takes a bishop. 3/2

REV WAS RIGHT AGAIN! (Infohazards: Salon, Amanda Marcotte, lots of disingenuous aw-shucks wherein a full-time People for the American Way employee bloviates about the innocent, uncalculated nature of his targeted pressure campaign.) 4/2 https://archive.fo/MfVzv

Note that James Gunn was fired July 20, and this guy's article was posted July 30. (Hat tip:

I do, but he doesn't pop up on my feed often. I can accept this as a valid theory. There was coordination and they had contacts. I've seen Jones was even kicked off of Linked In, which if true, is even scarier.

You're correct about activist groups (which are funded by wealthy interests, Holt isn't some plucky guy, he works for a major organization) targeting a deeply sympathetic (to put it mildly) tech, but I don't think this was retaliation for Gunn. They were doing this anyways
