Censorship/Industrial/Complex

Posted on April 6, 2023 by camelotkidd

I’m old enough to remember when liberals believed in free speech, but the election of Donald Trump broke something in their brains. Since then the pandemic and now US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine have exposed an ominous new … Continue reading →

Disconnect

Posted on February 10, 2023 by camelotkidd

I have never witnessed such a disconnect between the narrative promulgated by the corporate media and reality. I know I’ve talked about this before but every day brings a new example. These types of disruptive narratives are far more common … Continue reading →

I’m not crazy and neither are you

Posted on January 6, 2023 by camelotkidd

The latest revelations have confirmed what I’ve long suspected–I’m not crazy and neither are you. Power is controlling what happens. Real power is controlling what people think about what happens. Our elite do this by exerting massive amounts of influence over the … Continue reading →

Posted on July 16, 2020 by camelotkidd

I’m re-reading Matt Taibbi’s, Hate Inc., and enjoying it even more than the first time. Written as an update to the classic–Manufacturing Consent–it’s a great primer on media malfeasance and how we came to have a con-man as our president. … Continue reading →

The Hate Machine

Posted on November 22, 2019 by camelotkidd

More Dangerous

Posted on October 18, 2019 by camelotkidd
