You are absolutely correct and I am WRONG. NOT the same guy as on the NYT, totally different spellings.
Amerika guy - Brett Stevens
NYT guy - Bret Stephens
I definitely need to focus my mind better.
BUT BUT BUT:
Here is an interesting thing. Some of the writers listed on the Amerika site basically do not exist, such as Brock Dorsey, as I noted above. DOES NOT EXIST. He is a dead heavy metal dude, and has a recent Gab account, and just started writing for Amerika. THAT IS ALL.
Media Relations: James Price
Culture: Everitt Foster
Lifestyle: Lilou & John
Politics: Stephen van Walraven
Editor: Brett Stevens
Stephen van Walraven apparently does not exist except a tiny youtube channel and as a writer for Amerika. Hmmm.

James Price - after searching, there is apparently NO footprint for a James Price that writes for Amerika other than the site itself. The other James Prices are people like a Danish chemist, a guy in AU who is into horses, an Enlgish one who tweets only about British issues.
Everitt Foster has a bit more info (not much though(, a writer apparently who lives in TX and is into using drugs, and a mention on this Death Metal site, along with Brett Stevens, and oddly enough, Brock Dorsey has no existence other than as a dead heavy metal guy, also mentioned on this site:

My conclusion:
ALL the writers for AMERIKA ARE USING PSEUDONYMS!
Brett Stevens, as well as Brock Dorsey, have Gab accounts. They smell strongly of camouflage.
