Truth vs. The Truth: Conclusions and Much More! - Part 2

Back into a subject I can barely remember, but an attempt at summarizing and concluding before plowing deeper into the Twitter Files story to explore a micro-example of how history is written today. In parts 1 and 2 I address the fictional nature of worldview in the 21st century, both mainstream establishment and the extreme of alternative on the far right, the establishment of alternative memes prior to 1990 which have been pulled from the shelf by 9/11 Truthers and more recently by the quasi-alternative left still in its infancy, and then looking at Jimmy Dore, James Corbett and Matt Taibbi in these various regards.

In the remaining parts I will cover the making and unmaking of the Russiagate operatives story through three phases - Max Blumenthal and Grayzone from its beginning at the end of 2016 to the defeat of Trump in 2020, Taibbi and Shellenberger in the Twitter Files up to its crash and burn, and Jacob Siegel's recent attempt at addressing it all in Tablet magazine, which I critiqued in detail last week on my substack.

I'll also cast some actual truth on campaign financing and who owns the government. Finally, I'll wrap this up related to views on RFK Jr.'s presidential run announcement and an interesting and very different but ultimately failed attempt at explaining our world today.
