this is amongst the most astonishing and brave journalism I’ve ever come across. if it wasn’t instinctively clear enough to you that centralised sources of power will be captured and manipulated by the state to serve its own ends, then here is a detailed account of this actually happening. this is why we need bitcoin and nostr.
take the time to read it. you won’t regret it:
also fun to be reminded that Trump Derangement Syndrome was ultimately a concoction of a de facto fascist alliance between the security apparatus and the chamber of commerce but that’s its useful idiot paddlers were too useful and too idiotic to appreciate this, so they screamed about “racism” instead, that being the blasphemy du jour.

“Disinformation is both the name of the crime and the means of covering it up; a weapon that doubles as a disguise.”
“It would be nice to call what has taken place a tragedy, but an audience is meant to learn something from a tragedy. As a nation, America not only has learned nothing, it has been deliberately prevented from learning anything while being made to chase after shadows. This is not because Americans are stupid; it’s because what has taken place is not a tragedy but something closer to a crime. Disinformation is both the name of the crime and the means of covering it up; a weapon that doubles as a disguise.
The crime is the information war itself, which was launched under false pretenses and by its nature destroys the essential boundaries between the public and private and between the foreign and domestic, on which peace and democracy depend. By conflating the anti-establishment politics of domestic populists with acts of war by foreign enemies, it justified turning weapons of war against Americans citizens. It turned the public arenas where social and political life take place into surveillance traps and targets for mass psychological operations. The crime is the routine violation of Americans’ rights by unelected officials who secretly control what individuals can think and say.”

"To a ruling class that had already grown tired of democracy’s demand that freedom be granted to its subjects, disinformation provided a regulatory framework to replace the U.S. Constitution.
