You’re by no means keeping things close to the chest, and I admire that. The hearings on January 6th have certainly felt like a misguided witch hunt for a while now. The instigation of the FBI would be no surprise, but the death of Sicknick from a vaccination with so much political weight feels too narratively convenient. The evidence is flimsy in all directions, and everyone has their motives to paint it in a certain light. Regardless, my eyes have been opened to new possibilities no doubt. But if your mission is to proselytize to the unsure, this reads a tad extreme. Or should I say, radical….
To address you astute observation regarding narrative convenience, I argue that assuming Sicknick died from a vaccine injury is more reasonable than assuming he died from being struck in the head by a fire extinguisher. The same with the USCP suicides. I'm just using the same journalistic standards demonstrated by the NY Times to make a point and shift the overton window. Speaking of the overton window, I think that concept might explain why this article "reads a tad extreme". Extreme is a relative term, and when outright provable lies and falsehoods are integrated into the officially accepted narrative, the truth will necessarily come across as extreme. I would argue relative to truth the article is moderate. I make claims that can't be proven, but without sufficient evidence, people, including myself, tend to form provisional beliefs anyway. You kind of have to in order to reason effectively, I'm sure there has been work on this published in the literature on meta-cognition. I would rather explicitly state my assumptions based on what I believe in order to invite criticism of my reasoning. If everyone just exercised their 1st amendment rights and said what they thought, then maybe we could get the overton window to shift to what is demotically acceptable over what is "officially" acceptable. It is difficult to discuss things and move towards truth when people are afraid to talk about what they believe. Thanks for reading and for the thoughtful commentary!
The news site Revolver did coverage of Jan 6th with astonishing detail: photos, videos, eye-witness accounts and more. Effectively, the Trump supporters were herded into the Capitol Building. The protest was hijacked -- with Ray Epps only the tip of the iceberg. Several operatives were involved -- using megaphones, wire-cutters, and more. But none of whom the FBI or the Jan 6th commission have shown any interest in identifying -- let alone having them testify under oath. It screams FED, FED, FED. No doubt you know these articles well, but I would encourage anyone who wants to learn more to visit: https://www.revolver.news/2021/06/revolver-january-6th-investigative-series-summary/
Full agreement on QANON, which mixed obvious truths with outlandish conspiracies in order to discredit all those concerns with the obvious truths about corruption in Permanent Washington.
Ashli Babbitt was murdered. The MSM failed to ask even basic questions. Why didn't any other police officers feel the need to draw their service weapons and shoot? (How often does it happen that only one officer in a group draws out their service weapon and kills someone with it?). Why was the man who was breaking down the door not shot --- if this was the danger? Why was the video showing Ashli Babbitt clearly trying to de-escalate the situation never shared on the MSM? How could this short and relatively slender, unarmed woman be identified as a deadly threat requiring lethal force? Etc. It goes beyond mind-boggling incompetence. It was malice.
You write: "the managerial elite unified in their contempt for orange man used every available means (most of which were illegal and unconstitutional) to overthrow the popular will of the American people, eliminate constitutional remedies to this coup, and railroad anyone who expresses dissent with legal processes descended from the patriot act, all while continuing to steal trillions dollars from anyone that holds USD." Well said!
From a different perspective on the USD matter, and a post you may or may not know, Brian McGlinchey at Stark Realities did an excellent take: "Weaponized Dollar May Explode in America's Face ~~ By incentivizing foreign governments to seek currency alternatives, U.S.-led sanctions could end the dollar's global dominance and cause havoc at home" @ https://starkrealities.substack.com/p/weaponized-dollar-may-explode-in
Our elites have put us all at risk for permanent inflation, food shortages, the internal destruction of our republic, and even nuclear war.
In contrast to the American and global trends, when the leadership in Sweden decided to forgo the Covid lockdowns and school closures, Johan Giesecke quoted the former Swedish statesmen and Lord High Chancellor Axel Gustafsson Oxenstierna: “An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur." ~~ “Don’t you know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed?” @ https://fcpp.org/2022/06/21/sweden-did-it-right-we-did-it-wrong-reprise
It's beyond a lack of wisdom. Our elites are outright stupid parasite-predators, but enabled by a highly skilled technocratic class who expect to survive and even profit from the coming chaos. To speak *metaphorically*: the master might be a buffoon, but the pack of hunting dogs as his command still must be respected. To mix the metaphor: the bodyguards, as it were, are well-trained and can shot straight. Not to be underestimated. All best!
Thanks for sharing the links! I read and subscribed to Brian's substack. I would say I share his perspective totally on the issue. It would be nice if we could end the fed through political means, but I think we might just have to wait until the market exerts itself/forces the issue. The more analysis of current events I do, the more I'm convinced the fed's creation of fiat money enables the most counterproductive features of the global economy. Regarding Revolver, I've only read one of their articles, so I appreciate the link that you shared with a roll-up of their J6 coverage. That said, I think the really satisfying answers will come years down the road if the internet ever gets access to all of the available footage. I remember everyone decrying Sweden's stupidity, now nothing but silence. An excellent natural experiment to prove the folly of COVID containment measures to all but the most hopelessly indoctrinated.
