A very crafty approach to a very big issue....to whom does the rule of law apply.




(Why post this here....if Trump prevails and the rule of law is allowed to be disregarded by half the US population......not only will the whole world suffer but also our niche product in the semiconductor world. And I'll posit that there will be many fewer Mercedes in our driveways after a short burst of enthusiasm).

Morning Chippers.
Just putting it out there.
Has anyone had any dealings with Goldman Knox in the pre IPO of ARM?

Something different.


Is Oliver Anthony, the country-folk singer-songwriter who seemingly came out of nowhere and became an overnight sensation with his blue-collar anthem both punching up (the US capital is north of Richmond > aiming at the DC elites) as well as down (> โ€œthe obese milkinโ€™ welfareโ€) really just an authentic working class hero from Virginia? ๐Ÿค”

It is certainly enlightening to see how right-wing pundits have helped the song go viral in record time, sparking questions over astroturfingโ€ฆ

โ€œWhatโ€™s known about Anthony, who has a minimal news or paper trail up to this point, comes largely through a YouTube monologue he put up a few days before releasing โ€œRich Men.โ€ In that speech, he declares himself nonpartisan: โ€œI sit pretty dead center down the aisle on politics and, always have,โ€ Anthony says, facing the camera from behind the wheel. โ€œI remember as a kid the conservatives wanting war, and me not understanding that. And I remember a lot of the controversies when the left took office, and it seems like, you know, both sides serve the same master. And that master is not someone of any good to the people of this country.โ€

But if an artist is known by the fans they keep, the highest-profile fans Anthony has quickly accumulated are very much on the right side of the aisle โ€” insta-supporters like former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, firebrand commentator Matt Walsh, former Mumford & Sons banjoist-turned-political gadfly Winston Marshall and far-right country figure John Rich, who said he has had long conversations with Anthony and offered to produce and finance a full album. If Anthony wants to prove the centrism he professes by picking up some less partisan public figures as fans, he may have his work cut out for him, given the way heโ€™s instantly been embraced as a hero to the right.

Whether Anthony really is an ideologue in good old boyโ€™s clothing remains to be seen. He has several other songs up on YouTube or TikTok, and
he refers to pot a lot more than he does politics. (Sample lyrics: โ€œAinโ€™t gotta dollar / And when the sun goes down / On this itty bitty town / We can light up a bowl nโ€™ pass it around.โ€ And: โ€œWell the liquor and the bowl / Theyโ€™vะต been saving my soul / From the pain that the worldโ€™s put on me.โ€)

When he does stick with social issues, he doesnโ€™t seem like a political scientist, exactly: The only three โ€œissuesโ€ he addresses in his plaints against politicians are high taxes, welfare queens and child trafficking. His focus on the latter, which is the sole topic he addresses in his YouTube monologue, has led to the suspicion that he may harbor or represent QAnon views, since that is a key bugaboo of that movement, although he has been limited in how conspiratorial he has publicly gotten. โ€œ
I wish politicians would look out for miners / And not just minors on an island somewhere,โ€ he sings, a slightly confusing couplet that seems to indicate belief in a government cover-up having to do with Jeffrey Epstein.โ€



โ€œAnthony explained in a video introducing himself that he believed that pedophilia was โ€œbecoming normalized,โ€ a dog whistle in far-right QAnon circles, which believe former President Donald Trump is secretly fighting a cabal of Democratic sex perverts.

That doesnโ€™t seem to be the only conspiracy theory heโ€™s interested in.


One of the singerโ€™s public playlists on his YouTube channel, โ€œvideos to make your noggin get bigger,โ€ contains several videos that promote 9/11 trutherism and COVID-19 conspiracy theories.โ€



Why am I not surprised? ๐Ÿคฃ


Below are some more intriguing links for those of you who are interestedโ€ฆ
Just samples really - there are heaps of critical articles being published as I write this, alongside the expected ones praising the populistic acoustic lament as an ode to struggling working-class Americans after its meteoric rise to the top of streaming platform charts and playlists.

No doubt the red-beard redneckโ€™s doggerel protest song resonates with many unhappy conservative voters and will feature prominently in the upcoming Republican election campaign.

โ€œThen we have the chorus. โ€œLivinโ€™ in the new world / With an old soul / These rich men north of Richmond / Lord knows they all just wanna have total control,โ€ he sings. The use of a geological dividing line perhaps evokes the American Civil War, and the USโ€™s intractable North-South political schism. Itโ€™s not clear exactly what he means by โ€œold soulโ€ (didnโ€™t he sell his soul at the start of the song?), a phrase most often applied to a person wise beyond their years. Does he mean this? You suspect it may be โ€œoldโ€ in a more atavistic sense โ€“ the suggestion that he must belong to that sweet, forgotten Southern past, before political correctness and big government came trampling through the wheatfields.โ€

I have a question: who of you has the TSE app?
I have extracted the app as apk from the early days here. In the meantime it is no longer available.

And the tip from someone in The Graphite Bar with the Aussie Shiraz Gin is genius.
