'Chatham House Rule'

Torenberg launched Chatham House the summer of 2024,
naming it after a British think tank that formalized the insight that
trusted conversations require a degree of privacy.

Two of its conservative participants said they see the group as a way to shift centrist Trump-curious figures to the Republican side,
but its founder said he’d begun it to have “a left-right exchange where we could have real conversations because of filter bubble group chats.”

Chatham House includes high-profile figures like the economist
#Larry #Summers and the historian #Niall #Ferguson,
and more partisan figures like #Shapiro and the Democratic analyst #David #Shor.

#Andreessen lurks.

But several participants described it to me as something like a gladiatorial arena with #Cuban most often in the center,
sparring with conservatives.

(“no idea what you are talking about :)” Cuban emailed in response to an inquiry about his arguments on Chatham House.)

The Group Chat Era depended on part of the American elite feeling shut out from public spaces,
and on the formation of a new conservative consensus.

Both of those are now fading
(though Torenberg has invested in a company called #ChatBCC that wants to commercialize the heady experience of sitting in on texts among the power elite).

Since Elon Musk turned X to the right
and an alternative media ecosystem emerged on Substack,
“a tremendous amount of the verboten conversations can now shift back into public view,” Andreessen told Fridman.

“It’s much healthier to live in a society in which people are literally not scared of what they’re saying.”

And Trump’s destabilizing “Liberation Day” has taken its toll on the coalition Andreessen helped shape.

You can see it on X,
where investors joke that they’ll put pronouns back in their bios in exchange for a return to the 2024 stock prices,
and where #Srinivasan has been a leading critic of Trump’s tariffs.

“Group chats have changed on the economy in the last few weeks,”
said #Rufo.
“There’s a big split on the tech right.”

The polarity of social media has also reversed,
and while participants used to keep their conservative ideas off social media,
“now the anti-Trump sentiment is what you’re afraid to say on X,” one said.

By mid-April, #Sacks had had enough with Chatham House:
“This group has become worthless since the loudest voices have TDS,”
he wrote, shorthanding
“Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Then he addressed Torenberg:
“You should create a new one with just smart people.”

Signal soon showed that three men had left the group:
The Sequoia partner #Shaun #Maguire,
the bitcoin billionaire #Tyler #Winklevoss, and #Tucker #Carlson.

heads up that The Real News¹ is currently abuzz with the idea that some kind of scandal involving #Israel blackmailing #RFKJr with sex stuff is about to break.

(i have no idea if that's true or not but sometimes where there's smoke there's fire with these guys and even i have been a little taken aback by RFK doing things like declaring anti-semitism a disease / public health emergency)

on a related note i wonder whether "the left" has caught on yet the extent to which Real News purveyors have become ragingly anti-israel in the last year or so, the same way they are anti-ukraine but maybe even more so. none of this is surprising - after all #Putin dislikes both Israel and #Ukraine - but it's starting to cause a real rift in the right.

Now that #Macron is leading the #European effort to stop #Putin, #Tucker begins a new campaign, attacking him, likely scripted in the #Kremiin.

Right now, the #Trump administration is filled with #Kremlin fans. #Musk, #RFK Jr., #Tulsi and JD #Vance all have their own Vatnik Soup entries (along with Trump) due to their tendency to spread the Kremlin’s lies. They’re supported by social media superspreaders like #Tucker.

#Tucker and Macgregor serve as “canaries in the coal mine” for #Russian #propaganda – when they start pushing a narrative, expect it to reach Trump and his inner circle within 6 to 12 months. Russian state media RT has also called for promoting Tucker’s content.

Many of the major lies now being spread by #Trump and his associates originated from #Tucker’s show on X. For example, Bob Amsterdam, who has been pushing #Russian narratives and who was working for Russian oligarch Vadym Novynskyi, has appeared on Tucker’s show twice.

Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker (R-MS)
said Friday #Pete #Hegseth
"made a rookie mistake in Brussels",
referring to Trump's Secretary of Defense's comments that Ukraine must give up territory to Russia

"I don’t know who wrote the speech — it is the kind of thing #Tucker #Carlson could have written, and Carlson is a fool," Wicker said,
referring to the pro-Putin broadcaster.

Dominionist leaders attending the youth-focused
Turning Point USA #AmericaFest conference in Phoenix over the weekend
portrayed Donald Trump’s election as a "spiritual warfare victory",
and urged Christian-right activists to “occupy” more territory by building a bigger Republican majority in Congress. 

The AmericaFest speaker lineup included Trump,
other MAGA politicians,
right-wing commentators like #Tucker #Carlson,
and dominionists like #Lance #Wallnau.
House Speaker Mike Johnson cancelled a planned appearance after becoming the target of MAGA rage over a bipartisan budget deal that was attacked by Elon Musk. 

In recent years, #TPUSA founder #Charlie #Kirk has made a public shift from promoting a kind a snarky, irreverent libertarianism
to embracing an aggressive Christian nationalism that characterizes much of the MAGA movement today. 
Broadcasting from AmericaFest’s media row on Thursday night was “FlashPoint,”
a show launched by televangelist #Kenneth #Copeland’s "Victory Channel" in the fall of 2020
that has been a platform for pro-Trump propaganda and prophesying.
One panelist was Pastor #Rob #McCoy, a spiritual mentor to Kirk, who told viewers that he had been at TPUSA’s headquarters on election night,
and that when Pennsylvania was called for Trump, Kirk started weeping and said, “All glory to God.”

A recurring theme from the show’s host #Gene #Bailey and his panelists was that Trump’s victory is no reason for the church to relax.
Wallnau said that conservative evangelical Christians are the key to keeping the political pendulum swinging to the right in the midterm elections two years from now
