Apple TV+ CANCELS RELEASE OF SHOW About Stopping Violent White Supremacists!!! - Jesse Dollemore

Jesse discusses Vulture's reporting that Apple TV+ is pulling The Savant from its release schedule because of its premise. The show is described as, "A mother played by [Jessica] Chastain works for an anti-hate group and poses as a white supremacist online. Acting as a sort of counterinsurgent, she infiltrates extremist forums and works to stop violent threats before they happen. As Chastain's character warns in the trailer, which depicts scenes of car bombings, sniper attacks, and arson, "We're on the verge of serious violence."

The future belonged to the brave, the crazy ones.

Who knew Tim Apple would turn out to be so weak and cowardly. So disappointing.

The FBI has infiltrated violent white supremacist groups for decades and prevented violence. Have they stopped doing that?

WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) - The FBI has cut staffing in an office focused on domestic terrorism and has scrapped a tool used to track such investigations, in a shift that could undermine law enforcement’s ability to counter white supremacists and anti-government extremists, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The moves, sources said, are an indication that domestic terrorism investigations, which in recent years have largely involved violence fueled by right-wing ideologies, may be less of a priority under FBI Director Kash Patel, a prominent critic of the effort.
