What Eric Weinstein's fraud/espionage reveals about our moment
'I don't think anything of Einstein's theory of relativity,' Thomas Alva Edison said, 'because I don't understand it.'
Noel Coward once served as a spy during WWII. “Celebrity was wonderful cover. My disguise would be my own reputation as a bit of an idiot… a merry playboy.”
Does this sort of thing still happen today? If so, how might it present itself?
If one were to engage in this type of ploy, you would portray yourself as an “academic” or a “theorist” and then start a podcast and tell everyone about how you’re too brilliant not to be taken seriously and such a generational genius that your abilities are considered “dangerous” by the institutions. You would build yourself into a construct and you “charge” billionaires, particularly those in Silicon Valley, into giving you a sinecure. After all, many of those billionaires are foreign compromised so in paying you, there is a way of getting right with the networks that back them.
Unfortunately for you and fortunately for everyone else, you would probably give yourself away with your ego and that ego must be satiated.
And then we have Eric Weinstein’s latest interview with Joe Rogan. “I’ve been over there in ‘89,” Weinstein tells Rogan about his journeys to Ukraine.
But Ukraine was the Soviet Union in 1989. Just what was Eric Weinstein doing there? We don’t get an answer because Rogan doesn’t ask. Why?
“Why” is always the question with Weinstein. It wasn’t like you could just go to Ukraine. Could Weinstein’s travel to Ukraine have been a reason he was essentially barred from getting more government money for his mathematical PhD? Why does Weinstein speak a little Russian anyway? And why is he repeating Putin’s talking points?
These are but a few of the geopolitical questions that Weinstein’s interview poses. On the Rogan podcast, Weinstein also said he was courting his wife Pia Malaney in Indonesia. Why? What was Malaney doing over there anyway? And how should we think of her collaboration with Jeffrey Sachs, who has a longstanding relationship with the looting of Russia?
Disturbingly Weinstein calls weird ways of performing “zero day exploits” something which can “change the entire balance of power on the planet.” Coincidentally that’s a Netanyahu talking point.
In light of all the train derailments lately we might rightly ask: Is he threatening us? You can see the whole interview as basically, “Let me see the covert government programs — or else you’re an anti-Semite or worse!”

There are so many things to be said about the Eric Weinstein and Joe Rogan podcast from this past week that it’s hard to know where to go and how hard or hurried to go there. It’s a deeply impressive piece of Likud propaganda — one which requires careful attention to detail lest we miss the op he’s running. I had hoped that this might have been the opportunity we were waiting for — where Rogan finally calls out Weinstein on his sophistry — but it did not to come to pass.
I have various theories about why Rogan, who is likely compromised, would be so loathe to expose Weinstein. A charitable interpretation is that Rogan was giving Weinstein enough rope to hang himself. A less charitable one is that Rogan fears the network of people behind Weinstein. He ought to. I mean look at what they’ve done to Ye!
In our debunking of foreign ops we’ve gone on at some length about how the UFO project was both a fascist and Soviet project and we’ve documented Weinstein’s history of fraud repeatedly, as well as his ties to foreign intelligence operations. Weinstein seems to hint that we got him. This time with Rogan he claims that he was barred from living in Massachusetts by Harvard. Doesn't that sound like something a domestic counterintelligence operation would do?
Weinstein was fired from his job as the managing director of Thiel Capital — something he doesn’t mention or disclose to the audience. Could it have been because the FBI was onto Weinstein? He says he’s been chatting with them for years. Is he telling the truth? Are they setting him up in much the same way that they finally nailed that German-born UFO spotter in the desert? Let’s hope so. I’ve long argued that Weinstein needs to go to jail for the harms he’s causing in our understanding both of scientific principles and geopolitics. A rougher age would have handled him more appropriately.
Incredibly he’s still trying to cartelize the conversation. Let’s start with Weinstein’s defamation of “Alex” the proprietor of the Leather Apron Club. I’d love to chat with Alex about the recent defamation he experienced at the hands of Eric Weinstein on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Obviously in a post-Gawker, post-Rolling Stone, post-Info Wars world this isn’t OK. Should Alex be interested I’d be interested in helping him hold Rogan and Weinstein accountable. Alex handles Weinstein well enough in his video rebuttal but perhaps he’d like to go harder against someone who defamed him in front of what he says is “millions of viewers.”
But this kind of gatekeeping behavior is precisely what a lot of people object to and rather than honestly consider how Eric and his brother Bret have gatekept the conversation — they literally created a network called the “Intellectual Dark Web — he cries out that there’s an “emergency situation” and a “rise of antisemitism.” It’s not anti-Semitic to demand people be held accountable for their behavior. Nor is it anti-Semitic to note that ethnic nepotism plays a considerable role in human affairs. It is, in fact, precisely why we have affirmative action and “diversity, equity, and inclusion” committees in the first place — to stop self-interested groups from cartelizing departments. That is, in fact, precisely what was going on when Eric Weinstein pushed for depriving the United States of scientific minds from Asia and India.
You can take a good faith interpretation of Weinstein — that he was concerned about academic labor — but I’ve come to the conclusion that the powers that be knew back then that he and his pals were frauds. Weinstein worried that academics from India and Asia would smoke out these self-worshiping people in math and sciences. Recent experience makes us wonder if maybe so many of those Jews in physics or economics departments aren’t as smart as Weinstein claims but so good at getting and controlling tenure and academic admissions? Maybe this is a form of looting too.
And if you follow this more seriously: Maybe Einstein was an op? He slept with spies and had a 1400 page FBI file. Oh and you thought he was just a Swiss patent clerk? How many Swiss patent clerks do you think that are writing letters to the president of the United States? Do you think — maybe, just maybe — that there would be spies at the Swiss patent office? Wouldn’t you place them there — to steal promising ideas? Kind of makes you wonder about his 1905 annus mirabilis and whether or not he was a lone genius after all. Weinstein, who has constructed his fraud based upon a careful study of Einstein (and Epstein for that matter), mentions Marcel Grossmann — educated partially in the UK — and whose father — a textile industrialist — helped Einstein get his job at that patent clerk.
This is dangerous territory, I’m told, but it is important. We need to contend with the facts that active measures have been deployed by Soviets in the past against Jewish institutions and how Netanyahu in particular liked increased global anti-Semitism because it encouraged Jewish-Americans to make aliyah. Read about all the efforts by an autistic Israeli teen and two thousand bomb threats against Jewish institutions.
Weinstein well knows that this Jewish — and particularly Israeli behavior — was what Dave Chapelle and indeed, recent protests in Israel have made clear. The rest of us have every right to fear this type of Israeli behavior. They do intervene in elections around the world. They do target Americans in the United States and often with impunity. They ruin lives.
Just follow what’s been going on with “Team Jorge.”
I myself have been targeted with blackmail from these operations. I will not be intimated. You can have no conflict without yourself being the aggressor.

Weinstein told Rogan that he one time called the deconfliction line for the federal government—only to be rebuffed.
Weinstein says he’s concerned with government suppression of information and makes a weird coinage of “Cobalt vs Baby” — arguing for a deconfliction process of Blue vs. Blue that includes the public. In Weinstein’s telling this lack of transparency is perhaps why we don’t have a solid conclusion about Epstein, COVID labs, and UFOs. He says that the public should be included in these decisions. Maybe but it could just as easily be a way for a foreign intelligence asset or operative to learn about ongoing investigations — somebody like Eric Weinstein.
In particular Weinstein miseducates his audience about gravitational research that took place in the post-war era. In truth it was an op and there were a lot of those ops. You never wanted the Soviet Union to out indicate you. It was a bluff. It didn’t work, or at least not totally. Many WASP families, like the blue blooded Babson family, routinely funded these sorts of things and well, some of them worked out. See General Atomics, for example. Many of these ops were done to covertly pay for espionage, not pseudoscience.
How much of this sort of thing was going on during the Cold War, we don’t really know but Weinstein uses that ambiguity to claim that he is isn’t a “crackpot” engaged in “pseudoscience” as his critics claim. No! He is trying to return us to a golden era! Yes, Weinstein claims that there was a “cowboy” period to American science that took place. Oh really? He dates that period from 1953-1973. I’m hard pressed to find any big physics breakthroughs from that period but sure, let’s unaccountably go back to blowing lots of money on “research.” I guess we did launch a ton of stuff into space and land a man on the moon. Maybe we focused more on engineering than physics!
Naturally Weinstein blames that very evil man Robert Maxwell for peer review — which isn’t correct on the history — but he has nothing positive to say for the Biden Administration ending the academic publication grift.
Weinstein tries to make himself available to some big deep state project. I suppose that’s how he seeks to refashion himself after having gotten fired from Thielworld.
In his telling a lot of this cutting edge research which took place with the U.S. deep state is now taking place at hedge funds — hedge funds like Renaissance Technology.
Weinstein then tells Joe to have on Rogan’s podcast, Jim Simons, one of the proprietors of Renaissance Technology. He claims his late mentor — he has a lot of claimed mentors — suggested that RenTech was among the most impressive places on the earth.
In the intelligence community Renaissance Technologies is variously described as a front for the Russians and indeed the U.S. government recently demanded that Renaissance Technology fork over billions in taxes.
Weinstein also mentions Brian Keating — who got $80 million+ from RenTech for his telescope from Jim Simons — and Candace Owens, both of whom are backed by Renaissance Technology in one form or another. Candace’s husband ran Parler, which is backed by Rebekah Mercer, who is Robert Mercer’s daughter. Robert was, until recently, the other co-CEO of Renaissance Technology.
Apparently it was Professor Keating who introduced Weinstein to Jim Simons. There is a rather lengthy analysis of this relationship detailed on the subreddit of “Decoding the Gurus.” Apparently Keating’s father had worked with Simons back in the day. Who knew?
Anyway Weinstein mentions “four fortunes that make no sense — D.E. Shaw, Madoff, Epstein, and Renaissance Technology.” The implication is clear. D. E. Shaw is CIA. Jeff Bezos worked there. Madoff is Russian mob. Epstein was probably all three. Renaissance Technology is some combination of Chinese-Russian-Likud.
A spy would be interested in infiltrating one of these great projects.
“Put me in coach,” he seems to be asking, but why has he earned the spot on the team?
It seems as if he’s struggling. Deprived of a patron Weinstein says he doesn’t have a Patreon — “at least not yet.” It’s hard out there for Russian-Likud constructs, you guys.
Get better ones.
