"We are now seeing the consequences of electing a cognitively impaired president – a democracy in tatters, a country at war, an economy on the brink – but that was the risk that the owners of the country’s most lucrative media properties were willing to take."
~ John Stoehr

"America’s cultural elites needed a tool to stop progress. Sure, he was deranged. Sure, he was a criminal and a traitor. But the consequences of his reelection were unlikely to touch the elites while the consequences of the alternative very much would. So his liabilities were sanewashed & after he won, the press corps manufactured a consensus in which everything was going to be fine."

"The economy was good. Wokeness was defeated."
The overweening greed of a cadre of super-rich men (and some women) and the captivity of media to those super-rich men (and some women) are among the most sordid stories of this sordid period of history. Such high, fine protestations of intellectua superiority and ethical insight — belied in such obvious ways by their bewhavior.

That inexplicable worship of monarchs continues even after they were discovered to be the worst sort of traitors.
The Duke of Windsor & Wallis Simpson were shielded even after they passed on.
The gross acts of bribery and treachery were hidden for nearly 80 years.
The money trail to the Duke led to New York social circles but was never explored by journalists or investigated by national security agencies.
