One would always like to just neatly put everyone into one category or the other, but with many of them it's just not so simple.

Like with Makow, when I first went to his site for a few articles, I saw all the other stuff about Satanic this and that and thought, "What a loon!" Fast-forward a number of years, and I think, "Well, he's dead on and way out in front on both the Jews and Satanists." But he believes the Holocaust was real, though, so I tend to think that maybe everybody can have a blind spot.

As to Corbett, I've only recently come to the conclusion that he's a very deep cover disinfo agent, and they waited until the start of the Ukraine War to activate him on certain subjects.

A couple of months into it, he was talking about the war and I thought, "Where is he getting his info? Strictly from the front pages of NYT and WaPo?" There's no way a careful researcher could possibly just subscribe completely to the mainstream narrative on anything. He also turns out to be a "Never Trumper", no shades of gray at all.

I finally figured out what his disinfo angle was, and I'm sort of ashamed it took me so long. He's sort of a stenographer, just collating, arranging, and presenting material you could find yourself on r/conspiracy easily enough. No secrets are actually revealed, no insights. He's a "conspiracy theorist" without theories.

It finally clicked near the end of his last show, "The Great Travel Reset". He spends 35 minutes talking about material the Elites have published themselves about the subject, then ends with this very snide (in my opinion) rant about people asking him for a 2-minute summary on the topic. "If you want that, go to TikTok. I hope you can find that person, that person is not me. That's not what I do on the Corbett Report, okay?"

But hang on, wasn't that exactly his entree into all this? Isn't his best known video literally a 5-minute summary of 911, a very complex topic? Is it really believable that he lacks that much self-awareness? Not in my opinion.
