The posts have been a little heavy lately, but the times have been a lot heavy lately. The future is always uncertain, and yet somehow, right now, it feels more so.
We are lucky to have Pres. Biden and not the guy who claims he was never indicted while sitting under 91 felony counts. The guy we know gave intel about an ally to Russia in 2017, and that ally is believed to be Israel. Terrorists gained access to Israel for the massacre which kicked of the current situation in the region using methods not detected by Israeli intelligence.
In 2021, the CIA raised an alarm about informants killed in unusually high numbers.
Trump bragged about a highly classified document detailing attack plans for Iran in one of the recordings in his documents case. And now groups with Iranian backing have been firing on US targets.
While it might be hard to say with certainty whose side he is on, it is clearly not the side of the United States or our interests.
And let’s not forget the sudden and enormous infusion of cash from Saudi Arabia, both to Kushner and through that very strange golf tournament. And that’s what we know about.
There are people who always like to explain away the details that add up to a whole picture, to make excuses, to rationalize. When they do, think about what their motives are, how they are served by doing so.
Does it get you to ignore something that benefits them?
Does it help them to maintain patriarchal white supremacy?
Do they profit from it?
We are living in a time when people for whom facts are inconvenient have made facts irrelevant. And the media, intended to function as a filter, no longer does. A funhouse mirror form of “fairness” has replaced objective reality.
Like the protagonist in 1984, we have to fight to maintain our grip on what is. Eventually it becomes impossible to resist the call of flexible truth.
Anyway, that’s it for me this Tuesday, no lighter than the previous posts. I hope you have a great day anyway.
