Stow, Maine resident and former Maine legislator and Washington consultant Jim Wilfong sits again in the left chair. Jim has a depressed immune system right now so we’re wearing masks.
The first question is about Q-Anon and should Trump accept their support in his campaign. I don’t know what the organization is, but Jim says it’s an individual. The producer’s question alleges Satanic involvement and pedophilia, which leads instead to a discussion of Jeffrey Epstein’s shenanigans involving many powerful people internationally.
I speculate that, along with great ambition often comes a powerful libido. Jim agrees. They can buy their way out of accountability and that leads to more aberrant behavior.
Jim says video can be created that seems real but is falsified, that it’s very realistic and had enormous potential for abuse even more than spying on people digitally through the NSA.
We discuss the value and importance of reputation. Jim mentions how vulnerable it can be for damage given this new technology and the difficulty in countering it.
Jim relates a story about Ed Muskie with whom he used to work, about the difficulty of being in politics and concludes it with a Harry Truman quote: “Politics ain’t beanbag.”
We discuss violence in Democrat-run cities. I contend Antifa is run by Democrats. Jim says they’re anonymous and would not take anyone serious who hides his/her identity.
We discussed a possible vaccine, would we take the it during current virus and compared that to other epidemics like polio when we were children.
Finally we discuss the possibility that masks will be mandatory in Massachusetts or, if Biden wins, nationwide.
