A development in the infamous laptop story further proves the "Russian Disinformation" tale was itself disinformation, shaming a herd of craven media stenographers
Matt, I'm curious, what PTSD-like symptoms are you suffering as a result of having to stare at hours of video of oversized talking heads spewing cookie cutter bullshit in your direction.
I mean this sincerely because if I watch more than 5 minutes of Scarborough or Stelter I start to develop twitches in places I didn't even know could twitch.
So do all the corporate shill elite money grabbers that were depicted above sharing the one corporate approved trend line given to all of them.. Wolf, Christiane, MSNBJoe(ke), Rachel clowngirl, Keith, I lost my marbles... they all claim some superiority, but they are just lapdogs. Every one of them.
My favorite one now is Samantha Bee... Absolute laughable naive foolish brain dead idiots that read lines given to them so they may continue to live in 3 multi-million dollar houses and be catered to like gods. I know Samantha isn't on the level of news anchor, but she is one that really just rates with me. At least Jon Stewart and Bill Maher have had the sense to look outside the box and see they were and are being played.
Christiane claiming to be a journalist might be the funniest thing I've seen in weeks.
Regardless of your politics, you should be horrified that the corporate media colluded with Big Tech to swing the results of a presidential election by knowingly suppressing truth and publishing lies.
Jim, there is a "share" button that goes to any email and not just FB, TWTR, et al .... I share Matt & Glenn all the time and have even given "gift" subscriptions. Before inflation, LOL
It's hard to keep on being horrified when you've been horrified for so long. A kind of horror-exhaustion ensues. After awhile you need to take a walk. I mean, to just leave.
Alarmingly, this is the current media model -- whipping up niche audiences into a frenzy that, in turn, serves the commercial underpinning. As an old newspaperman (a shameful admission these days) I think we need a new mainstream media entirely unlike anything that now exists.
I have some ideas, but we all ought to be thinking about what form these new media would take. Substack, Matt's TK and a few other online sources are very positive. But the fact that they're available only electronically and exist in vast oceans of digital garbage automatically marginalizes them (the medium is indeed, and to a very great degree, the message).
As another old reporter, I agree that the dismissal of print media as outdated is a colossal mistake. I also wonder if no one has considered that eliminating it isn't part of the plan to control the narrative. After all, if the information is online, it can be altered at will; and just because there are places fighting to keep the originals available isn't a guarantee. When there's ink on paper, though, you have to run any change the same way, and you can't then pretend the original never existed.
I think this all comes down to people needing some reason, always the other guy, for why things are so bad now and getting worse.
It's the duopoly and those that continue to vote for them. Pointing at yourself with the thumb is more painful, but more honest than finger pointing at the other guy, who is doing the same to you. Tribalism is comforting, but not the solution.
Agreed. It's a race to the bottom - Bush II was "better than Gore", which begat "Hope and Change", which begat "I don't love Trump, but if he prevents Hillary from being elected........." which begat "He may be old and senile but he's better than Orange Man Bad"......WE are better than THIS. Time for new blood.
Well, at least that. Maybe a healthy dollop of mail in vote stuffing and digital shenanigans (Dominion's favorite son Eric Coomer comes to mind) thrown into the mix as well for extra flavor.
They shut down the posts Twitter account after removing the story. FB purposely put anything about the laptop to the bottom of everyone's feed. They both willingly admit to this. It is no secret. Those actions are the definition of "suppressing " a story
Quite right. It's a bit like some Soviet Russian objecting to criticism of the party's malfeasance by saying that "there'd been plenty of time for the people to view the original photos before we air-brushed them."
If you delete your shit post all my likes and your feckless feigned indignation will disappear too . Please don’t let your pride dissuade you from standing by your stupid. You could get a job at the intercept
The video from the top of the piece will disabuse you of the notion that the MSM was simply incurious. If not you are clearly just as "incurious" as they are, and for the same reasons.
No, it doesn't, because that's how you get President Trump...or worse, Trump only competent to really destroy the country!
Like, say, Hillary Rodham Clinton, warmonger and HUAC-lover who actually tried floating in 2020 that Bernie Sanders(!) was a "Russian Asset"(!!!). There are few beings in the universe more hypocritically evil than she is....
So maybe we should add "Russian" to the list of commonly-accepted curse words in the English lexicon since everyone that disagrees with those in power and the MSM are now pegged as a being a Russian______ (fill in the blank).
Indeed. “Russian” as an epithet has become just as toothless-and pointless-as so many other previously powerful (read: appropriately employed) terms. Word games are their best skill, and most lucrative export.
If you are talking about the laptop and Ukraine in late 2020, then, yes, you can say they actively suppressed the truth. It was obvious and after Bobulinksi spoke out (at great personal cost), there was even greater reason to believe it was all true. They NEEDED Trump to lose. Ends justify the means.
The appalling thing about this entire story is not that they could have been "waiting for confirmation " and not wanting to publish false info. Its that they REPEATEDLY published false info about Trump with callousness and contempt yet stopped ppl from hearing anything at all that could have hurt Biden . I seriously hope ppl take a look at the Times article referenced above.... this should bother everyone. You may agree with the ideals of those committing these violations now, but that will not last foever.
Because given the choice between HUAC Biden and Donald Putin? I wish the Green Party would stop faffing around and start acting like a REAL political party!
I get not liking either party and would not fault you if that is your view. but i do not get the Donald Putin comment. Ppl always jump to call Trump a dictator or a monster and i think that sort of hyperbolic rhetoric does nothing good. It has caused a mass hysteria of severe Trump hatred that is not only unhealthy, it is mostly undeserved. Was he a saint? Hell no. He is a narcissistic egomaniac that does not like admitting defeat or failure. But That doesnt make him a monster ....lefties need to understand,The thing most ppl, especially middle America, loved about him was that he was not groomed for politics. He doesnt come off as this self righteous, snooty "perfect" person who sits at their trendy cafe on the coast looking down with disgust at all the "working class " avg joes that politicians ignore. They felt like there was FINALLY someone that was in their corner. All politicians are bought and paid for. Trump was just smart enough to tap into the one large cache of funding that the others seemed to forget existed. The American People. In his voters eyes as soon as they had representation in DC that really
cared about them ,the legacy media goes full throttle on trying to end his presidency ,no matter what it took. 90% of Trumps presidency was negative coverage. They NEVER gave him credit for anything he did that was good... that made his voters feel like it was an attack on them personally. In a way it was.....
My dad grew up in small town Texas ,as poor as you could get. didnt graduate H.S. he got into some trouble when he was a very young adult. He had to struggle his whole life for very little. I remember him coming home from working in a garage all day, his fingernails black with gear oil and the tips cracked and bleeding. He would eat diner and then head out for night classes for A/C and boiler repair. He moved furniture on the weekends. We had a small house that wasnt much. But it was ours. He rode a Harley that he built himself. He was very proud of what he had because he earned every damned bit of it. He was also proud to be an American. That meant something ro him. It was solidarity with all the other struggling lower working class citizens. They may not have much. But what little they DID have, it was THEIRS. They had that and the pride of being an American. THAT'S what Lee Greenwood's song is about. Standing up together with your neighbors and stating " we are in this together. Ive got your back and i know you have mine"
Every time someone unnecessarily ridicules Trump for BS reasons they need to realize that its people like my dad that you are actually bashing....
Lmao. I am aware that i kinda went off on that one a bit. But wholly sh%t! Do i feel better! 🙃
I think you're mistaking Liberals for Leftists. Most Lefties I know are well aware that the only "unique" thing about Donald Trump is his utter unwillingness to keep his tantrums to himself, or at least disguise them as "policy", "ethics", "morality", or any of the other terms NeoLibs like Hillary Rodham Clinton use.
The reason we need to try and convict Trump, and those in the White House and the Members of Congress who encouraged him, of Sedition is because we want the NEXT asshole to consider it, who will probably be much more successful, to know if s/he does s/he won't be able to hide behind her/his political party.
I know! My ex's niece was the person who first hipped me to Gropey Uncle Joe the Sexual Predator - but she voted for him in 2020 anyway because "Trump's too EVIL to be President!"
She didn't like my telling her that THAT was how we kept getting people like President Donald Trump....
Actually that was sarcastic, and pointed at the McResistance's obsession with Trump and Putin, to the point that they were cheering on homophobic "humor" about the two!
Which is the worse way for an outlet ostensibly dedicated to journalism to behave? a) Knowing the truth and suppressing it, or b) Having no interest in the truth and suppressing it?
I think B makes me despair more. Dishonesty alone is easier to fix than dishonesty combined with laziness.
That's the second time I've caught Dwhy talking that fascist shit about employers here, and I'm not here very much. Anybody know anything about this POS?
The laptop was easy to verify, but they chose to bury the story because of politics.
But now that we KNOW they lied about this shit, how about we actually start talking about what is ON the laptop and what it means? This is what my next article is going to be about, but I'm out sick today.
Shaming the media for being a bunch of whores is completely appropriate. But that's not where the story ends. And even now it seems that people don't want to face what the laptop means: Biden and those around him are provably corrupt. As his administration continues to ruin American life, you have to start wondering -- is this on purpose?
Alexander Hamilton , hello, I just read Robert Malone substack piece today on the Great Reset, which claims the elite are indeed screwing up the world to enable a totalitarian regime through the auspices of government electronic money.
It's just embarrassing that when we finally get to the evil supervillains with a plan to take over the world, it's gonna be like some cliched dystopian YA science fiction series. Ugh.
Power has always been the most corruptive of intoxicants. The more concentrated the power, the more destructive it's capabilities. I think this was figured out a long time ago. Likely predates the Book of Revelations.
It’s an antique way to the express oneself, referencing the Bible, I like it. The true myopia our time is that we think in terms of “end of history”, We fancy ourselves somehow immune to the mistakes of the past. This leads to the biggest mistake of all - we’ve abandoned our cultural inheritance - the knowledge passed down to us from those who have gone before. Such arrogance, such foolishness, we say lest we forget on remembrance day, but that’s a fraud, they died in vain because we learn nothing from their sacrifice, we blindly go head long towards our own conflagration.
There is nothing new about any of this. They've had a long time to work on this shit. Plan for a New American Century comes to mind (1999). And that seems recent.
I think it's a little confusing to us that "reducing the power and wealth of the USA" and "hollowing out the middle class so it is no longer seen as an achievable default life" might actually be secondary or peripheral goals in a greater plan.
Contrary to the political posturing, there is no special virtue to the middle class or small business. However they are people with the wherewithal to take some measure of power and wealth from the wealthy and credentialed. Their presence leads to the occasional Trump, that is, the occasional bit of tension within the duopoly where the people pulling strings behind the scenes have to show themselves when something goes amiss with the puppet show. If everyone in the "middle class" was upper middle class and worked for a corporation where you could get let go for saying the wrong thing, America would be much easier to control. Incidentally, this is the point of wokeism. It masquerades as a bizarre ideology with zealous partisans, but it is really just a tool for the elite to identify and weed out those who don't toe a party line.
Once they have, one too many times, used "conspiracy theorist!" as an "automatic dismissal card" for things that later turned out to be true, you start to open up to more legitimate analysis, disregarding "does it sound crazy" or "men is suits with titles handwave this".
A) Does the crazy theory have explanatory power? Especially of things that are otherwise hard to explain.
B) Has the crazy theory shown predictive value? "IF 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝐴 is true, then 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐵 will happen." and it does?
C) Does seemingly crazy theory comfortably accommodate common human inputs like cowardice, pride and greed (𝑐𝑢𝑖 𝑏𝑜𝑛𝑜?)?
If so, you can throw out any reservations you might have based on defying consensus or conventional wisdom. This is too important to worry about being embarrassed.
Oh, almost forgot: Yes, incredible as it seems, it just might all be on purpose.
Answer (I believe): it is on purpose. The WEF has made it clear they want a great reset and new world order. They are in the process of implementing it by tearing apart the one nation that has/had a chance of resisting. If we can get some strong leadership in power they need to start ripping apart the federal government from top to bottom. The FBI/CIA/NSA need to be destroyed and replaced or completely overhauled. They are arms of leftists intent on destroying our country.
These idiots don't realize that 'normal' Americans are who actually enable American life. Central planning will end exactly as it always does -- massive suffering and death.
And, as always, the people on the ground will be far more clever than the rule-makers.
Wondering if there's anything more empowering than the ability to destroy under the auspice of virtue for those consumed by influence. Not only the killing of the masses but the sending of people to do it. Ah, and the riches that accompany it.
From Forbes Twitter feed 7h ago “ Reporter: "Sir, deterrence didn’t work. What makes you think Vladimir Putin will alter course based on the action you’ve taken today?
President Biden: "Let’s get something straight... I did not say that, in fact, the sanctions would deter him. Sanctions never deter."
I love my job
Matt, I'm curious, what PTSD-like symptoms are you suffering as a result of having to stare at hours of video of oversized talking heads spewing cookie cutter bullshit in your direction.
I mean this sincerely because if I watch more than 5 minutes of Scarborough or Stelter I start to develop twitches in places I didn't even know could twitch.
It's a gift and a curse
Better you than me.
And we love your work.
So do all the corporate shill elite money grabbers that were depicted above sharing the one corporate approved trend line given to all of them.. Wolf, Christiane, MSNBJoe(ke), Rachel clowngirl, Keith, I lost my marbles... they all claim some superiority, but they are just lapdogs. Every one of them.
My favorite one now is Samantha Bee...

Christiane claiming to be a journalist might be the funniest thing I've seen in weeks.
We too ;)
OMG that mashup had crying I was laughing so hard at hunter's laugh. Exemplary work. Thank you!
Outstanding work...the voice of one crying in the wilderness.
Oh, that's pure gold!
Regardless of your politics, you should be horrified that the corporate media colluded with Big Tech to swing the results of a presidential election by knowingly suppressing truth and publishing lies.
Amen. Sure wish Matt would allow this piece to be shared with non-subscribers.
He often makes a piece free after 1-2 weeks or so, which seems more than fair to me.
Jim, there is a "share" button that goes to any email and not just FB, TWTR, et al .... I share Matt & Glenn all the time and have even given "gift" subscriptions. Before inflation, LOL
Duuuh. Too much time on flake book. Life is better, indeed much better without it.
This article is also posted on Scheerpost.com, which is a great site for non-corporate takes on US and global events.
It wasn't collusion or suppressing the truth. It was 'fortifying' the election. See Time Magazine 5 Feb 2021.
It was both. The article in Time Magazine is an anomaly in a sea of usual pablum printed by them.
Facts
They did the same in 2004 when the NYT sat on the story about Bush creating a surveillance program that spied on us all, after having denied it.
They are quite cozy sidling up to power, rubbing shoulders with anyone outside that circle is what makes them uncomfortable.
Journalism capture. You want access you play OUR game
Access. So they can ask those hard follow up questions they're so famous for.
Turns out it's only access to more propaganda.
It's hard to keep on being horrified when you've been horrified for so long. A kind of horror-exhaustion ensues. After awhile you need to take a walk. I mean, to just leave.
Alarmingly, this is the current media model -- whipping up niche audiences into a frenzy that, in turn, serves the commercial underpinning. As an old newspaperman (a shameful admission these days) I think we need a new mainstream media entirely unlike anything that now exists.
I have some ideas, but we all ought to be thinking about what form these new media would take. Substack, Matt's TK and a few other online sources are very positive.

Time for new blood.
Please, please new blood. And younger blood (I'm 72 so I am NOT anti elderly).
I wish they game up in searches but they don't.
... again
there should be little doubt that corporate media's sole purpose is manipulation of public opinion and election influence.
Well, at least that. Maybe a healthy dollop of mail in vote stuffing and digital shenanigans (Dominion's favorite son Eric Coomer comes to mind) thrown into the mix as well for extra flavor.
Tough to be horrified when you are not surprised.
They shut down the posts Twitter account after removing the story. FB purposely put anything about the laptop to the bottom of everyone's feed. They both willingly admit to this. It is no secret. Those actions are the definition of "suppressing " a story
Damn, bro...really? Stick to the cowbell.
You are blind by ideology.
Quite right. It's a bit like some Soviet Russian objecting to criticism of the party's malfeasance by saying that "there'd been plenty of time for the people to view the original photos before we air-brushed them."
2016? You mean when a game show host defeated Hillary Clinton after she cheated in the primary?
You can tell they’re knowingly suppressing the truth by how they act.
Like how if I want to know you’re a retard, I read your posts.
🤣
If you delete your shit post all my likes and your feckless feigned indignation will disappear too . Please don’t let your pride dissuade you from standing by your stupid. You could get a job at the intercept
You’re lying. It’s todays theme I guess
An apathetic or incurious media is just as much a tool of the state as a fully captured one.
>> An apathetic or incurious media...
Relies on apathetic and incurious population.
We get the leaders we deserve. We have the media we enable.
No, I’m just poking a hole in your stupid attempt to deflect with bullshit.
How do I know?
You clearly didn’t watch the fucking video.
He's just saying you put the goalposts on a baseball field, and crooked.
The video from the top of the piece will disabuse you of the notion that the MSM was simply incurious. If not you are clearly just as "incurious" as they are, and for the same reasons.
and you were incurious to the video. Got it.
Your mother was a babushka, and your father a Commodore 64
Dude, quit while you are a head.
Some types of heads don’t quit
Maybe it was just incurious and apathetic comedy.
At this point, what difference does it make?
No, it doesn't, because that's how you get President Trump...or worse, Trump only competent to really destroy the country!
Like, say, Hillary Rodham Clinton, warmonger and HUAC-lover who actually tried floating in 2020 that Bernie Sanders(!) was a "Russian Asset"(!!!). There are few beings in the universe more hypocritically evil than she is....
So maybe we should add "Russian" to the list of commonly-accepted curse words in the English lexicon since everyone that disagrees with those in power and the MSM are now pegged as a being a Russian______ (fill in the blank).
It's hardly recent - in fact, you could say it's Hillary Rodham Clinton bringing back a Golden Oldie from when SHE was a Goldwater Girl!
Indeed. “Russian” as an epithet has become just as toothless-and pointless-as so many other previously powerful (read: appropriately employed) terms. Word games are their best skill, and most lucrative export.
If you are talking about the laptop and Ukraine in late 2020, then, yes, you can say they actively suppressed the truth. It was obvious and after Bobulinksi spoke out (at great personal cost), there was even greater reason to believe it was all true. They NEEDED Trump to lose. Ends justify the means.
“Ends justify the means” seems to be the calling card for pretty much every mouthpiece with a voice, bf it MSM or government.
Many religions espouse it too. It has an interesting history, that phrase...
The appalling thing about this entire story is not that they could have been "waiting for confirmation " and not wanting to publish false info. Its that they REPEATEDLY published false info about Trump with callousness and contempt yet stopped ppl from hearing anything at all that could have hurt Biden . I seriously hope ppl take a look at the Times article referenced above.... this should bother everyone. You may agree with the ideals of those committing these violations now, but that will not last foever.
Can I despise BOTH sides equally?
Because given the choice between HUAC Biden and Donald Putin? I wish the Green Party would stop faffing around and start acting like a REAL political party!
I get not liking either party and would not fault you if that is your view. but i do not get the Donald Putin comment.

Trump was just smart enough to tap into the one large cache of funding that the others seemed to forget existed. The American People. In his voters eyes as soon as they had representation in DC that really

I think you're mistaking Liberals for Leftists. Most Lefties I know are well aware that the only "unique" thing about Donald Trump is his utter unwillingness to keep his tantrums to himself, or at least disguise them as "policy", "ethics", "morality", or any of the other terms NeoLibs like Hillary Rodham Clinton use.
The reason we need to try and convict Trump, and those in the White House and the Members of Congress who encouraged him, of Sedition is because we want the NEXT asshole to consider it, who will probably be much more successful, to know if s/he does s/he won't be able to hide behind her/his political party.
Thank you. Totally agree.
If you didn’t despise both equally, I’d be concerned.
I know! My ex's niece was the person who first hipped me to Gropey Uncle Joe the Sexual Predator - but she voted for him in 2020 anyway because "Trump's too EVIL to be President!"
She didn't like my telling her that THAT was how we kept getting people like President Donald Trump....
WHO WILL VANQUISH THE GUY FROM THE APPRENTICE? YOU, OLD MAN OVER THERE. STOPPING SNIFFING WOMEN AND RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
The mind reels.
What did Donald do that makes him equal to Putin?
No one said they were equal. Our distaste for them is.
Those are different things, and perfectly reasonable things to believe.
Correction: our distaste for the right and the left was the subject, I think. Regardless, as far as I’m concerned you can lump Putin in with them.
Actually that was sarcastic, and pointed at the McResistance's obsession with Trump and Putin, to the point that they were cheering on homophobic "humor" about the two!
I wonder that you obsess about that so much.
Which is the worse way for an outlet ostensibly dedicated to journalism to behave? a) Knowing the truth and suppressing it, or b) Having no interest in the truth and suppressing it?
I think B makes me despair more. Dishonesty alone is easier to fix than dishonesty combined with laziness.
Imagine this story on the other foot. Do you think they would be “incurious then?
Hillary has a "Trump Piss Tape" she'd love to sell you....
Oh, but she could make it a "BERNIE Piss Tape" if that would make her *FIRST* *WOMAN* *PRESIDENT*!!!!
>> How do you conclude that?
Simple. Use eyes, ears and most importantly - brain.
About as likely as Bagdad Bob was apathetic and incurious.
Lol
Eat shit you fuck.
That's the second time I've caught Dwhy talking that fascist shit about employers here, and I'm not here very much. Anybody know anything about this POS?
Who fucking cares?
Being himself is bad enough.
I hope your grandchildren read it. It will explain a lot about the country they inherited
If they are anything like Chrystia Freeland, they will be very proud.
The laptop was easy to verify, but they chose to bury the story because of politics.
But now that we KNOW they lied about this shit, how about we actually start talking about what is ON the laptop and what it means? This is what my next article is going to be about, but I'm out sick today.

As his administration continues to ruin American life, you have to start wondering -- is this on purpose?
Bigger shame on the FBI for burying it and still concealing it to continue their collusion in the 2020 “election”.
FBI exists to cover such shit up. And to destroy leftist movements.
To cover up CIA and deep state shit. It's a team game.
I quit wondering in 2003
"As his administration continues to ruin American life, you have to start wondering -- is this on purpose?"
Of course it is. The take down of America is an essential pre-condition for "the Great Reset."
Alexander Hamilton , hello, I just read Robert Malone substack piece today on the Great Reset, which claims the elite are indeed screwing up the world to enable a totalitarian regime through the auspices of government electronic money.
It's just embarrassing that when we finally get to the evil supervillains with a plan to take over the world, it's gonna be like some cliched dystopian YA science fiction series. Ugh.
Not only will it be awful and horrific, it will also be inane. It's hard to get more dystopian than that!
So...does the Bible's Book of Revelation seem so far fetched now?
That’s a very old fashion perspective, I like it.
Power has always been the most corruptive of intoxicants. The more concentrated the power, the more destructive it's capabilities. I think this was figured out a long time ago. Likely predates the Book of Revelations.
It’s an antique way to the express oneself, referencing the Bible, I like it. The true myopia our time is that we think in terms of “end of history”, We fancy ourselves somehow immune to the mistakes of the past. This leads to the biggest mistake of all - we’ve abandoned our cultural inheritance - the knowledge passed down to us from those who have gone before.

William James Inkjust now
That's why Hitler is so secretively admired. Like the preacher who constantly condemns fornication and heads to the prostitutes bed after his sermon.
The New New World Order
There is nothing new about any of this. They've had a long time to work on this shit. Plan for a New American Century comes to mind (1999). And that seems recent.
I think it's a little confusing to us that "reducing the power and wealth of the USA" and "hollowing out the middle class so it is no longer seen as an achievable default life" might actually be secondary or peripheral goals in a greater plan.
Contrary to the political posturing, there is no special virtue to the middle class or small business. However they are people with the wherewithal to take some measure of power and wealth from the wealthy and credentialed. Their presence leads to the occasional Trump, that is, the occasional bit of tension within the duopoly where the people pulling strings behind the scenes have to show themselves when something goes amiss with the puppet show. If everyone in the "middle class" was upper middle class and worked for a corporation where you could get let go for saying the wrong thing, America would be much easier to control. Incidentally, this is the point of wokeism. It masquerades as a bizarre ideology with zealous partisans, but it is really just a tool for the elite to identify and weed out those who don't toe a party line.
Once they have, one too many times, used "conspiracy theorist!" as an "automatic dismissal card" for things that later turned out to be true, you start to open up to more legitimate analysis, disregarding "does it sound crazy" or "men is suits with titles handwave this".
A) Does the crazy theory have explanatory power? Especially of things that are otherwise hard to explain.
B) Has the crazy theory shown predictive value? "IF 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝐴 is true, then 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐵 will happen." and it does?
C) Does seemingly crazy theory comfortably accommodate common human inputs like cowardice, pride and greed (𝑐𝑢𝑖 𝑏𝑜𝑛𝑜?)?
If so, you can throw out any reservations you might have based on defying consensus or conventional wisdom. This is too important to worry about being embarrassed.
Oh, almost forgot: Yes, incredible as it seems, it just might all be on purpose.
One of the driest jokes the world has ever seen would be that Alex Jones was right all along.
Answer (I believe): it is on purpose. The WEF has made it clear they want a great reset and new world order. They are in the process of implementing it by tearing apart the one nation that has/had a chance of resisting. If we can get some strong leadership in power they need to start ripping apart the federal government from top to bottom. The FBI/CIA/NSA need to be destroyed and replaced or completely overhauled. They are arms of leftists intent on destroying our country.
These idiots don't realize that 'normal' Americans are who actually enable American life. Central planning will end exactly as it always does -- massive suffering and death.
And, as always, the people on the ground will be far more clever than the rule-makers.
Wondering if there's anything more empowering than the ability to destroy under the auspice of virtue for those consumed by influence. Not only the killing of the masses but the sending of people to do it. Ah, and the riches that accompany it.
Perfect woke storm.
If I wanted to destroy America's way of life, I would attack the petrodollar that forces the USD to be the reserve currency of the world.
What have we seen the last couple weeks? Saudi Arabia discussing selling oil in Yuan and Russia demanding rubles for oil.
Wait until we get to the food shortages Biden mentioned only in Warsaw.
From Forbes Twitter feed 7h ago “ Reporter: "Sir, deterrence didn’t work. What makes you think Vladimir Putin will alter course based on the action you’ve taken today?
President Biden: "Let’s get something straight... I did not say that, in fact, the sanctions would deter him. Sanctions never deter."
