A Taste of Money

Whilst many critical thinkers will be familiar with the term ‘honey-trap’, how many are cognisant of the term, ‘Money-trap’?

Honeypot

A pot of honey.

(figuratively) Something or someone similarly sweet or enticing, particularly:

(US slang, dated) A romantic pet name; “honey”.

(slang) A vulva or vagina.

(espionage) A spy (typically attractive and female) who uses sex to trap and blackmail a target.

A woman who attracts sexual attention from men.

(computer security) A trap set to detect or deflect attempts at unauthorized use of information systems.

(chiefly British) A draw: a place which attracts visitors.

Whilst there exists numerous volumes of evidence to suggest that Charlie Kirk was in a marriage to a woman who may termed a classic example of a honeypot, and that she may have been a key component in his demise, there are similar questions that are beginning to emerge regarding Candace Owens’ marriage to a certain George Farmer.

Rather than being a honeypot, could it be that Mr Farmer is a money-pot?

This, as is invariably the case, leads us once again into the subject of money: the One Ring to Control it All.

Few will deny the fact that Candace Owens is a critical thinker whose bravery is demonstrable and the same could have been said of Charlie Kirk.

However, we are living in treacherous times and the treachery is so endemic that it exists on all levels including the marriages and relationships between men and women. Indeed, it is a mark of the epoch that, in my experience, I cannot name a single man whose major problems have not been caused by the woman in his life who have proven themselves to be so disloyal to him that his very relationship with her is characterised by her betrayal of him. Lies, infidelity, betrayal and narcissism flow freely from these women to such an extent that they are what may be termed domestic traitors.

The following precis is from Grok and so the reader is encouraged to read it with a large pinch of Celtic sea salt, even though the public references to the actors can be substantiated.

In the likely event that her good friend, Charlie Kirk, was betrayed by his wife, a honeypot whose dodgy past has caught up with her, is it really too much of a stretch to consider that Owens’ husband is a moneypot?

Experience has taught me that there are virtually no genuine grassroots individuals and organisations who are prominent in the ‘alternative’ media for the vast majority are beholden to their patrons, the behind-the-scenes funders of their ‘operations’.

Bar a tiny number of genuine individuals, one does not simply acquire stellar-levels of coverage on GooTube, Twatter or any large social media/marketing platform without financial backing. Bear that in mind as you read the following.

I asked Grok to

“Trace Candace Owens’ husband’s origins, his father’s wealth and zionist associations, the links to John Mappin and any critiques that dig deep into the characters.”

The AI replied:

“George Farmer: Origins and Background

Candace Owens married George Farmer, a British entrepreneur and conservative activist, on August 31, 2019, in a private ceremony at Trump Winery in Virginia. The couple met in December 2018 at the launch event for Turning Point UK, a conservative youth organisation affiliated with Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, where Farmer served as chairman.

 

They became engaged just 17 days later via Skype, a timeline that has fuelled speculation about the union being a strategic alliance rather than a spontaneous romance. The couple has four children as of 2025, and Farmer has largely stayed out of the public eye, though he occasionally appears on Owens’ podcast to discuss conservative politics and faith.

 

Farmer, now in his mid-30s, hails from an elite British political and financial dynasty. He is the son of Lord Michael Farmer, a Conservative peer in the House of Lords, and Jennifer-Anne Potts, a doctor and Jewish immigrant from Zimbabwe. Raised in luxury, Farmer attended prestigious institutions like St. Paul’s School and Oxford University, where he studied philosophy, politics, and economics.

 

His early career involved stints in finance and conservative activism; he co-founded Turning Point UK in 2017 and later became CEO of Parler, the short-lived “free speech” social media platform that gained notoriety for hosting far-right content before its 2021 shutdown.

 

In 2023, Farmer launched GeorgeTom Inc., a media company that hosts Owens’ podcast and merchandise, which has now entangled him in her legal battles, including a 2025 defamation lawsuit from French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron over Owens’ conspiracy-laden claims.”

Note his degree is in philosophy, politics, and economics and then consider, if you will, how many of the faux politicians (of all hues) have such a background and then consider how many of these graduates (invariably from Oxbridge) are recruited by the intelligence services and who sign the contract of loyalty to the fake state.

George’s father, ‘Mr Copper’ is an interesting character (in the stageshow) whose sphere of influence and wealth is considerable. It is fair to state that George has never gone short of a money-pot to piss in:

Lord Michael Farmer: Wealth Sources and Zionist Ties

Michael Stahel Farmer, born in 1944 and ennobled as Baron Farmer in 2014, built his fortune in the commodities trading world, earning the moniker “Mr. Copper” for his expertise in metals markets.

 

Starting as an £8-a-week clerk at the London Metal Exchange in 1963, he rose through the ranks at Philipp Brothers (Philbro), a dominant firm in non-ferrous metals, before co-founding RK Capital Management in the 1990s and later the Red Kite Group in 2005—a hedge fund focused on metals trading that peaked at $2 billion in assets under management.

 

Estimates of his personal wealth range from £200-500 million (roughly $250-650 million USD), derived primarily from trading profits, investments, and his role as a major Conservative Party donor—he served as party treasurer from 2011-2018 and has contributed over £7 million since the 1990s. His philanthropy extends to family policy initiatives, prison reform, and Brexit advocacy, as detailed on his personal website.

At this point, I asked Grok,

The publicly available information on him continues,

Farmer’s Zionist associations are deep-rooted and publicly proclaimed. As a devout evangelical Christian, he serves as the Christian Deputy Chair and trustee of the UK Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ), a prominent interfaith organisation combating antisemitism.

 

His middle name “Stahel” hints at possible Jewish heritage, and his wife Jennifer-Anne Potts is Jewish, adding a personal dimension to his advocacy.

 

Farmer has been a vocal defender of Israel, citing historical Jewish suffering and the nation’s right to self-defense.

 

In August 2024, amid Owens’ promotion of antisemitic tropes (e.g., blood libels and Holocaust minimisation), he issued a rare public statement on X, condemning such views and reaffirming his “unwavering support for Israel” while distancing himself from “a high-profile member of my family.” This episode highlighted tensions within the family, with critics accusing Farmer of enabling Owens’ rise despite his pro-Israel stance.

If we remove the programmed terminology from this statement from Grok, phrases like “Owens’ promotion of antisemitic tropes (e.g., blood libels and Holocaust minimisation)”, then it is clear that none of the information is inaccurate –  at least as far as is that which is publicly accessible.

We then move onto the involvement of a certain John Mappin,

John Mappin – Succinct Biography

Born: 1964 (age 61 in 2025), British aristocrat and self-styled “Sir John Mappin of Treworder” (baronetcy not officially recognized).

 

Family: Heir to the Mappin & Webb jewellery fortune (via great-uncle); married to Irina Mappin (former Russian model and artist).

 

Main asset: Camelot Castle Hotel, Tintagel, Cornwall – purchased 1999, rebranded as a mystical/Arthurian-themed resort.

 

Ideological arc:
– 1980s–1990s: Devout Scientologist, trained in Los Angeles for six years.
– 2016–2020: Hard Brexit campaigner, flew giant Trump and Union Jack flags on castle.
– 2018–present: Major QAnon promoter in the UK; launched “Camelot TV Network” and “Keep Britain Free” anti-lockdown movement.

 

Key political moments:
– Hosted and funded the 2018 Turning Point UK launch (where Candace Owens met George Farmer).
– Financial backer of Parler during George Farmer’s CEO tenure.
– 2025: Publicly rejected a £20 million government offer to house asylum seekers at his castle.

 

Current activities (2025): Runs conspiracy-themed events at Camelot Castle (UFO disclosure, “Awakening Accelerator” clubs), promotes Trump, anti-globalist narratives, and fringe health theories.

 

Reputation: Widely regarded in UK media as an eccentric conspiracy entrepreneur; celebrated in far-right/Q circles, mocked in mainstream press as “Lord of the Loonies.”

What are the connections between the Farmers and John Mappin?

John Mappin, a 60-year-old British aristocrat, hotelier, and self-styled “baronet,” owns Camelot Castle in Cornwall—a themed resort blending Arthurian mysticism, Scientology influences, and far-right conspiracism. A former Scientologist who studied in Los Angeles for six years, Mappin is a prolific QAnon promoter, Trump booster, and backer of Brexit and anti-vaccine causes. His ties to the Farmers and Owens stem from shared conservative networks, particularly Turning Point UK.

 

He has been described as a “close friend” of the Farmers, with George crediting Mappin for early support in his ventures. Mappin also funded Parler during Farmer’s tenure as CEO, intertwining their business interests.

 

Broader links include Mappin’s friendships with Trump family members, Nigel Farage, and Andrew Tate (introduced to Owens via George), forming a web of transatlantic right-wing influencers. Michael Farmer’s involvement is more indirect, through Turning Point’s donor ecosystem, where both men have contributed to anti-abortion and family-values causes.

At this point it is important to remember that Grok is, when all is said and done, little more than a glorified search-engine. However, that is not to discount everything it states from those public sources which it cites,

Critiques and Deeper Character Analyses

Critiques of the Farmers and their orbit often portray them as emblematic of “destructive privilege”—elite conservatives cloaked in populist rhetoric, with Owens’ marriage amplifying contradictions in her anti-establishment brand.

 

George is frequently depicted as a passive enabler: a “lavender marriage” partner (rumours of his sexuality persist, fuelled by ex-associates like Milo Yiannopoulos), who encouraged Owens’ pivot toward far-right figures like Nick Fuentes while shielding his family’s reputation.

 

In a 2023 interview, he praised influencers like Owens and Fuentes for “pushing the movement further,” raising questions about his role in amplifying extremism. His Parler stint drew fire for platforming hate speech, and the 2025 Macron suit has exposed GeorgeTom Inc. as a vehicle for Owens’ “grift,” with critics arguing it launders family wealth into her controversies.

 

Michael Farmer faces scrutiny for his “Zionist hypocrisy”: a lifelong Israel advocate whose daughter-in-law peddles antisemitic conspiracies, forcing his 2024 public disavowal. Open letters have urged him to leverage his CCJ role against Owens more forcefully, accusing him of complicity through silence or funding. His Tory donations are critiqued as influence-buying, with reports linking him to anti-abortion funding cuts and far-right pipelines via Turning Point.

 

Mappin’s influence draws the harshest barbs: a “conspiracy-peddling Scientologist” whose Camelot Castle hosted QAnon rituals and Trumpist events, allegedly using surveillance and threats against critics.

 

Ties to Owens are seen as grooming: he “placed her where she is today,” introducing her to Farmer and Tate, per insiders. Overall, detractors frame the network as “controlled opposition”—Zionist elites (Farmers) funding anti-Zionist firebrands (Owens) via eccentric patrons (Mappin) to sow division, with Owens as the “machine’s daughter-in-law” rather than a rebel. A former Turning Point insider even claimed Owens was “recruited” by CIA-linked figures before her Farmer match. These narratives paint a tableau of inherited power masquerading as insurgency, where personal scandals (e.g., Tate’s pimping ties) underscore moral rot.”

Regardless of Candace Owens’ undoubted ability to think critically, it all serves to remind us of the expression,

“Lie down with dogs and expect to pick up fleas.”

Without intending to over-simplify the matter, it does appear that she may have fallen for a ‘moneypot’ in the shape of her husband George, his privileged background and the moneyed influence of her father-in-law.

In the event that this is the case, and given how Charlie Kirk was certainly betrayed by his spouse, it is not wild conjecture to suggest that the apparent assassination contract on Owens is real. Therefore, as is so often the case, the threat to her well-being comes from within her family and the probability that George Farmer may be playing the role of her handler, similar to that played by Erica Kirk.

Whichever way one looks at it, Candace Owens’ meteoric rise cannot be viewed as an organic one. Rather, it is most likely another example of ‘astroturfing’ –

“Etymology

From AstroTurf (“a synthetic substitute for grass”), a play on grass roots, as in “fake grass roots”. Attributed to U.S. Senator Lloyd Bentsen in an unidentified 1985 public statement: “[A] fellow from Texas can tell the difference between grassroots and Astroturf.”[1]

Noun

astroturfing (uncountable)

(originally US politics, now social media, marketing) The disguising of an orchestrated campaign as a “grass-roots” event, i.e., a spontaneous upwelling of public opinion.

Synonyms

front organization

Conclusion: it’s all about the money

Candace Owens is a much-loved media personality who demonstrates excellent levels of critical thinking. Unfortunately, she may have fallen into a moneypot in the shape of her husband and father-in-law, without whose funding she would not have such a huge and influential platform.

I am reminded of the expression, ‘the enemy within’ – traitors do not only operate in the public shadows, they also inhabit family homes, as so many have learned to our great cost.
