The Regime lacks legitimacy. Maybe raw power is all it needs.

Epstein, vaccine mandates, and Chinese spy balloons.

Trust is gone, maybe the Regime’s iron fist is all it needs?

(Consider this more of an exploration of uncertainty than an exposition into the state of the world.)

Just 26% of Americans surveyed told Gallup they have a favorable view of the news media, the lowest level ever recorded.

Trust in institutions has never been lower. Every poll shows this. Your conversations with friends and family reveals this. While everyone has an unfortunate relative or two who believes CNN, they are a running joke and source of pity. Can you believe such people still exist? Shame.

Don’t be one of those pitiful people. Sign up for alerts about the real world.

The Pfizer vaccine was never shown to stop the transmission of Covid-19, which means the vaccine mandates lacked any scientific or moral legitimacy. A supermajority of the United States took one or more dose of the vaccine. Almost no one is getting the booster shot. LA County was home to Branch Covidians. You’d get yelled at by civilians for not wearing a mask outside.

They aren’t getting boosted.

No one believes Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, and surely those who plotted his “suicide” anticipated this. They didn’t care. The public complained, trust was lowered, and in the end it doesn’t even matter.

Twenty years ago, everyone believed the New York Times.

People who only started paying attention to news and politics in the past few years don’t get it. Even a decade ago, one hit piece from a “credible” media outlet was enough to end you. People would kill themselves, as they didn’t see a way past the smear.

Now hit pieces make you more popular, which is why the Stasi quickly sought to take over social media giants to get people banned directly.

People assume that if you’re declared evil by the regime’s propaganda outlets, then you must be good. It is really hard to truly cancel a person via negative news coverage. That’s why the regime’s latest efforts have been with rigging juries against conservatives.

Prosecutors know that they can rig a case via trial by media and then forum selection. You think a DC jury cares if you hit an ANTIFA guy in self-defense? Those Soros DAs will indict and "criminal justice reform" Democrats will convict. Better to avoid blue areas totally.

And in a world totally saturated with media, everyone with a smartphone - the very notion of an ‘unbiased’ jury is quaint, ridiculous even. Kyle Rittenhouse had clearest case of self-defense imaginable, caught on video, and his jury took DAYS to acquit him. https://t.co/0p3wyWm0zm

They lie and get away with it.

“We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying.” – Attributed to Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn.

Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself. The FBI and DOJ mopped up the crime scenes and we will never know who would have been implicated.

NATO and the U.S. pushed the Ukraine into a proxy war with Russia. Still we will send over $100 billion, and anyone who disagrees will be smeared as a Kremlin asset.

Matt Gaetz didn’t sex traffic anyone. Where does he go to get back his good name?

Matt Gaetz sex trafficking smear shows all the problems of trial by media. Any conversation can be made to look however you want it to, depending on what parts you cut out. Society created a solution to this, trial in open court. In his case, not even enough evidence for that!

The UFO’s that got shut down were weather balloons, as Biden got caught letting China spy on us. Conservatives (far too many) still started looking out their windows for aliens. And we’ve all moved on from what can only be properly understood as sabotage from within the White House. (There’s a word for that, one we heard often during the Trump era.)

Public trust has never been lower, yet the Regime seems stronger than ever.

Even the libs realize trust is almost too far gone to be regained.

Have you noticed people don’t trust experts anymore? Or Journalism. Or academics? Who is sewing this doubt? Why won’t people believe in science? We must get to the bottom of this. #HugeMystery #SolveThePuzzle https://t.co/BK7Y1jVryV

Wat means?

I don’t know (yet).

I do know that we don’t trust the experts.

The regime is making a gamble by telling us it doesn’t matter. They’ll do what they want, anyway. UFO’s fake. Epstein dead. Ukrainians dead.

The globalists want Ukraine’s finest men to die. This makes it easier to loot the country once the war is over. This is as close to a mass human sacrifice as I’ve seen in my life. Many people, including some Republicans, have shown who their true Master is.

To everyone demanding that Ukrainian soldiers and civilians die for "as long as it takes to stop Putin” do you realize Russia is mobilizing 300-500k troops as we speak? Are you really prepared for the loss of life? Are you still not interested in peace?

Maybe this is how totalitarian or nuclear war or a mass extinction event begins.

I’m not a doomer, as people well know.

Despair is demonic.

We listened to Black Dalia one. As much as we complain about corruption, we aren’t even close to the levels experienced decades ago. The more history you read, the less you pine for the “golden age,” which never existed. Keeps your grounded and less hysterical about today’s age.

Wittgenstein spent a lot of his spare time reading detective fiction. True crime podcasts are popular now, and there are a bunch of good ones. World and work is very abstract - think some of popularity of crime is that a good murder jolts person back into visceral reality.

We are approaching a pivotal moment in human history.

I’m personally on the lookout for a nuclear war initiated by NATO or a domestic genocide against Christians and conservatives by the far left.

The rhetoric used by regime outlets mirrors the pre-genocide era of Rwanda.

Watch, “Félicien Kabuga: The Financer of the Genocide in Rwanda.” Pay attention to how media dehumanized the Tutsi. These same pre-genocide practices are occurring in the U.S. Trump supporters called “MAGATS.” Understand what the left is agitating for and what’s next.

“There was never a golden age”

The reason doctors wear white coats is because they were universally reviled as such outright charlatans and killers, so a hundred years or so ago they decided to “steal” the far more favorable PR image of lab-coated scientists….

It only took about a hundred years for that illusion to fade, now we’re right back where we started…
