This October Surprise Wasn't Planned But It Is Extremely Revealing

The Pelosis in 2019 (Chron photo)
When Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, was seriously injured by an assailant in their Pacific Heights home on Friday morning, the local news was all over the story. Nancy Pelosi's Democratic colleagues said unequivocally that the attack was politically motivated, brought on by the climate of violence fostered by Republicans.

According to the initial reports the attacker, David DePape, repeatedly shouted "Where's Nancy?" (she was in DC) and had posted QAnon conspiracy theories on a website. David DePape was arrested, and the news stories tried to make him fit the template of the Trumpist true believer who was triggered by hateful rhetoric. In case the viewers didn't make the connection the TV news ran footage of the January 6 riots.

Even then your humble blogger noticed that the facts didn't fit the usual narrative. A conservative extremist would likely have carried a gun (isn't that what MAGA Republicans do?) if he intended to harm Speaker Pelosi; instead he fractured Paul Pelosi's skull with a hammer? (Did DePape bring it with him or was it a weapon of opportunity?) And how could a guy like that get through security, which the extremely wealthy Pelosis must have had?

No, the wisest course was not to prejudge the actions of all the parties but to wait for more facts to come out. However, in the hothouse political and media atmosphere the weekend [correction: week] before Election Day there's a lot of prejudging going on, and not a lot of investigative work.

Cracks are already appearing in the dominant narrative.

Michael Shellenberger:
DePape lived with a notorious local nudist in a Berkeley home, complete with a Black Lives Matter sign in the window and an LGBT rainbow flag, emblazoned with a marijuana symbol, hanging from a tree. A closer look reveals the characteristics of a homeless encampment, or what Europeans call “an open drug scene.” In the driveway, there is a broken-down camper van. On the street is a yellow school bus, which neighbors said DePape occasionally stayed in. Both are filled with garbage typical of such structures in homeless encampments. People come and go from the house and the vehicles, neighbors say, in part to partake in the use of a potent psychedelic drug, ibogaine.

Neighbors described DePape as a homeless addict with politics that was, until recently, left-wing, but of secondary importance to his psychotic and paranoid behavior.

“What I know about the family is that they’re very radical activists,” said one of DePape’s neighbors, a woman who only gave her first name, Trish. “They seem very left. They are all about the Black Lives Matter movement. Gay pride. But they’re very detached from reality. They have called the cops on several of the neighbors, including us, claiming that we are plotting against them. It’s really weird to see that they are willing to be so aggressive toward somebody else who is also a lefty.”
The Santa Monica Observer (to be fair, the Chronicle says it's a rag that promulgates anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theory):
It's been a rumor for years in SF that Paul Pelosi is gay. David Depape is said to be a Castro Nudist. "The lunatic who allegedly assaulted Paul Pelosi is a Berkeley resident and a 'Former Castro Nudist Protester' and hemp 'jewelry maker' ...sounds totally MAGA Republican to me. 🤣🤣" this from Twitter.

Ok, so here's the theory, as related to me by a source: "Castro Nudists are a group of really radical gay male prostitutes that parade around naked with c--k rings. First of all, the Police did not come in response to an alarm. They come in response to a "wellness check". So someone called them to check on Pelosi."

"When he didn't answer the phone, the cops broke the sliding glass door to get in. Pelosi was struggling with the suspect, who was in his underwear.

Pelosi owned the hammer. Not Depape. Or, the male prostitute was doing something Pelosi didn't like."
I don't know what to believe, but this I can state with certainty: the relevant facts won't be revealed in the Chronicle or other mainstream media until after Election Day.

Meanwhile, lest we lose sight of what's important, let's pray for the health and well-being of Paul Pelosi and his family.
