We are living through an era of professional gaslighting so refined it could qualify for a Ph.D. in psychological warfare.
The latest example? After years of establishment indifference, we are now being told -- loudly, breathlessly -- that Jeffrey Epstein’s legacy of elite depravity is the national scandal of the hour. Apparently, six years after his death, this is now urgent. That Donald Trump crossed paths with Epstein is supposed to be more damning than the years Epstein was welcomed by the Clinton inner circle, the Gates orbit, and the upper crust of academia, finance, and intelligence.
Let me offer a parable.
There is a mouse in the room. Its name is Epstein. The media is pointing at it, stomping its feet, shrieking: “Look at this dangerous mouse!”
Just behind the mouse stomps an elephant -- huge, festering, impossible to ignore if you simply look. This is the face of the biggest federal scandal since the Kennedy assassination. It is the defining image of the Deep State: a shadow bureaucracy led by Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and others, manipulating “the presentation” -- not to be confused with facts.
Tulsi Gabbard, now Director of National Intelligence, has implicated former President Obama directly, and the evidence supports her. The elephant is real. It is the coordination of the Deep State, shaping narratives that, for reasons unspoken, are embraced wholesale by legacy media.
Today, the media fixates on the firing of a Deep State Labor Department official. They dig obsessively for any mud to fling at Trump. Why? “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is no longer a sufficient explanation. This is about protecting the machine. But why?
Compare Hillary Clinton’s destruction of her private server and the hammering to bits of subpoenaed phones. The media shrugged. Why? Aren’t they supposed to report the news?

The news media is not criticized nearly enough. The MSM is no better than Pravda was.
With that headline, I thought it would be about the GOP, Majority Leader Johnson, and the Uni-Party.
That, or the Obamas.
So many sociopathic criminals...so little time.
“The news media is not criticized nearly enough. The MSM is no better than Pravda was.”
Actually it’s worse than the Soviet Union. In the Soviet Union, at least its later stages, the people living there knew they were getting played. In the US 75% of the country is still CLUELESS, and much of the remaining 25%, including a decent amount here, are also clueless (or getting paid to act that way).
Correct.
“This is the face of the biggest federal scandal since the Kennedy assassination. It is the defining image of the Deep State: a shadow bureaucracy led by Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and others, manipulating “the presentation” — not to be confused with facts.”
News is when these bad actors get 3 AM visits from SWAT teams placing them in cuffs.
Until then it is a nothingburger.
If that were so, you’d be enjoying Oblamma’s fourth term under the auspices of President Wodsalad,
“If that were so, you’d be enjoying Oblamma’s fourth term under the auspices of President Wodsalad”
Considering we had an ELECTION and Wordsalad got damn near 50% of the vote, I really doubt that Soviet-level media could have pulled that off.
