Thats my suspicion, definitely. I made an effort to share my opinion with George Knapp when TTSA went public, as he had been following it closely long before their offering. He trusts em, though, or isnt open to considering DeLonge a dupe. Im on the side of psyop, or seriously bending over backwards for votes (the launch of the TTSA brain trust was IMO timed for election year). Until I see something more substantial....
Whoever is behind this looks at politicians as ants.
