Is his new path the reason "they are coming after him,"? Or, is it the reason they are not protecting him?

You may have hit on something IMO. Generally people don't seem to get any cultural or political traction unless they can be leveraged in one way or another.

The sudden emergence of alleged rape victims when a longer-term public figure begins to speak out against the establishment narrative suggests to me that we need to pay attention to what the famous wrong-speaker has to say.

Republicans and Torries are happy with the grifting. Democrats, Labour and LibDems aren't properly organized to address consipracy grifters. So I think it's not political. According to a Channel 4 (UK) documentary last night, one person made her complaints known, and her rape, recently, and then another heard about it and went on record, and then another, etc. Thus I'd say this is part of the 'me too' movement to speak out against sexual abuse. One or two of those who protected him are also questioned, or were fired at the time of the abuses.

They are no longer protecting him purely because they aren't making money out of him anymore. It's not more complicated than that.
