Truth Subverted


Many well-intentioned people are still confused and maybe even frustrated, why others cannot see the “wisdom” of their choices.

Choices that have been phrased and echoed by most mainstream media with almost lock-step cadence, enunciated by the supposedly staid and august academia and punditry, and by the media-covered protestations of most vocal politicians.  Soundly repeated by those many in critical levels in the Deep State or the administrative state ensconced in their life-long careers by their leftist patrons. And yes, even in very popular Hollywood and sport and entertainment media who have the almost uncontested ears and minds of many of the populace.

Did we leave anybody else?  Maybe so, since this eerie unanimity covers practically all corridors of power and influence in society, the enthroned and established elites of all flavors.

Seeing and understanding this, it is easy to realize how truth if the desire is to suborn it has a very difficult time in seeing light.

It is also easy to understand why and how continued discussions of the issues are skewed against those who seek and honor truth and justice.   Like the obviously two-tiered justice system in the US?  Piled on and stacked against so much, the truth has a very challenging time and will require Herculean efforts to be released.

But truth at times in obtuse ways is let out, sometimes unwittingly.  Exposed in events and results that cannot be easily managed or manipulated, like stats, polls, political and economic realities, or results of democratic elections, etc.   Things that suggest or point to the opposite of those promoted by an entire generation of committed advocates blinded by rage and loathing. 

Knotty things like if things are so bad in the current regime, why are those out of power so determined to take credit for what is happening?

Why do allegedly iron-clad cases brought against the current regime, cases conducted and executed in most unfair and partisan ways, end up exonerating the accused?

Why do claims of injustice and criminality alleged by the current regime do not end up in exculpatory rebuttals, but usually end up with at least lame apologies and sliding affirmation, though so far no criminal accountability has yet been lodged?

Or why do the numbers in free gatherings of people undisputedly suggest that the current regime is a lot more popular and followed than those oppose to it?

If truth is not vigorously pursued then, the slow pace of historical reckoning will have to be waited upon.

Will well-intentioned minds become inquiring minds?
