I noted early on in the Weinstein scandalization that it was a move to overshadow #pizzagate which had gained a lot of traction, and was hitting hard right in the center of the Washington DC cesspit. James Alefantis was one of the 50 most influential people in DC, and arguably one of the most influential people in the world as a result.
The celebrity swirl has subsided, and the pizzagate story was swept out to sea with it. It is a classic example of using celebrity scandal to control narrative and bury stories.
I don't think the Pierce attack was related, as that train has left the station. Something else is going on with Pierce. Perhaps he has repented and changed his ways, making him dangerous to the powerbrokers that remain devoted to their deviance. Dunno. That's the best guess I can come up with out of zero actual knowledge of him and his present life.
I would also be shocked were EOS to put a great deal of stake in the odors wafting from John Oliver and his handlers. EOS isn't dependent on their ilk, and is indeed aimed at their hearts, unless @dan has been convinced to go over to the dark side.
That doesn't seem likely.
