Some days I get extremely distraught that these idiots are still driving the bus. We're deep into some serious shit and I'm not exactly sure what the proper course of action is.

Neither am I, but fittingly the book “The Grey Lady Winked” arrived today and I am looking forward to reading it tonight. Based on the reviews it looks like the NYT has been changing the world for the worse via lies and idiotic narratives since at least 1913. Maybe we should just start bribing teenagers to actually read books, and start with ones like this. They’d save themselves the years it takes many adults to figure out media is often now, and has been, little more than a propaganda machine for the owners.
"The Grey Lady Winked" is an excellent book that helped me explain to family and friends why the NYT is for nitwits. The most misinformed people I know read the NYT and consider it divine revelation. They are generally clueless about Covid's origin and lethality, mRNA vaccine risks, Biden family influence peddling, BLM, Antifa, racism, crime statistics, and even the year the United States was founded! The NYT is an Orwellian nightmare that is ghost written by the national security state to pave the road to dystopia.
Couldn’t agree more on the NYT - particularly the ones obsessed with credentialism and who are convinced, no matter how many times they are wrong, their buddies with the most bull 💩 awards that spout big words regurgitating the perceived narrative of the moment are “really smart.” 😂
A few months ago, I and my wife were in the company of four age peers, each in their 70s. One was a university president emeritus, another a psychiatrist, another a psychological counselor, and the fourth a retired former senior executive at CNN. At some point in the conversation I asked them what their sources of news were. They all answered with the usual suspects, beginning with the New York Times. I then asked them if they knew what Substack was. They looked at me with puzzled faces.
LOL the first sentence, "The Grey Lady Winked" is an excellent book that helped me explain to family and friends why the NYT is for nitwits." I have been getting fed NYT items by a former supervisor for years.. He also sent the recent NYT item about the Covid origins AFTER it had come out in the NY Post earlier in the week preceding the NYT item.
It’s interesting, but the writing style is a bit annoying. Definitely shows NYT hasn’t ever really been about truth, well, at least not since the early 1920’s
"We're deep into some serious shit" is an understatement, Simulation Commander.
What's alarmed you and me is our knowledge that EVERY big organization in the world is now captured and corrupt and exists to conceal important truths and protect all the people who are benefitting from this FUBAR system.
So we realize that there are probably no "adults in the room" who are going to show up and correct this situation. That's some heavy and scary "truth" there.
Which is not to say the world still doesn't have plenty of sane and brave adults - You are one of them, as is just about everyone posting at this newsletter and other popular Substack newsletters. We just know that this little haven of adults in the room isn't enough to take down all the corrupt and ignorant children that are in leadership positions everywhere else.
I guess all we can do is keep moving the needle and, follow Churchill's advice: Never, never, never give up.
But we have a whole lot of purging/swamp-draining that will have to occur at some point if sanity is going to rally for the upset victory.
Yes. If this were a history book that I was reading, now is the time when I would start to get VERY VERY nervous. The ruling class starts ignoring the normal lawmaking rules and starts to instead rule by decree? Bad. Talking about packing the court or "getting a new congress"? EXTREMELY BAD!
We're literally a couple executive orders away the president ruling like a king -- and having no legal recourse (because OF COURSE the authoritarians always say what they're doing is legal.)

The NYT hid the Holocaust when it started.
It sits on my nightstand. Enjoy!

Pray as if your life depended on it, because it actually does.
Stop reading the NYT.
Tribunals and institutional purges.
