Actions Of FBI, CIA Leave Us In Our Own Truman Show<\/span><\/p>\n

Stepping out into freedom<\/h2>\n

The FBI and other left-leaning entities have left us in our own Truman Show<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Given the fire-hose disgorgement of revelations<\/strong> about the behavior of the FBI, the CIA and their infiltration of\u00a0the mainstream media, there is ample justification for believing that we are living in some dystopian, distinctly unfunny<\/strong> version of\u00a0The Truman Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the movie, the gormless Truman Burbank grows up thinking he is living a normal, happy life in a normal, happy town. Only gradually does he realize that something is amiss. Slowly, piece by piece, the awful truth dawns on him: his entire social world is a fabrication, a gigantic product-placement concession with him as the unwitting MacGuffin.<\/p>\n

The deception is played for laughs, mostly.<\/strong> There are not many laughs in our Truman Show, the one in which the FBI hatches a fake plot to kidnap Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer, enlists some pathetic lowlifes to participate, then blows the cover and arrests the saps who joined them. One was just sentenced to sixteen years in the big house, another to nearly twenty.<\/p>\n

In our Truman Show, various police and intelligence entities, including the FBI and the CIA, are in cahoots with Twitter, Facebook and other social media companies. We wouldn\u2019t have known much about this except for the courageous action of Elon Musk, who everyone thought overpaid to acquire Twitter \u2014 $44 billion of the crispest \u2014 but who has been demonstrating almost daily that the deal was cheap at the price.<\/p>\n

The journalists he has given access to Twitter\u2019s files \u2014 including Bari Weiss, Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger \u2014 have ripped the putrid bandage off a suppurating orifice of deception, lies and politicized interference.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glenn Greenwald provided a meticulously researched summary of that assault on his internet video show \u201cSystem Update.\u201d\u00a0The episode in question exposes the FBI\u2019s \u201cpropaganda partnership with Twitter.\u201d Senior Twitter officials, Greenwald shows, met regularly with what amounted to FBI handlers. In the end, they \u201cdegraded Twitter into little more than a full-on Democratic Party activist machine, all while lying to the public about its function. This was a massive public fraud and 2020 election interference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swirl that around in your mouth before swallowing: \u201ca massive public fraud and 2020 election interference.\u201d Forget about people screaming that you are a \u201cconspiracy theorist\u201d disseminating \u201cdisinformation.\u201d In truth, you are acting as a documentary reporter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greenwald\u2019s show aired on December 20 on the new(ish) video platform Rumble. If you don\u2019t know Rumble, you should. It is the free-speech alternative to YouTube, that thoroughly compromised media outlet that is owned by Google, which itself is part of the surveillance apparatus of the regime.<\/p>\n

The FBI emitted a blustering but ultimately pathetic denial that its hand-in-glove work with Twitter and other outlets was anything but normal investigative activity, designed to keep the public safe and free from \u201cforeign influence\u201d and perfidious \u201cmisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The public centerpiece of this sorry development was the all-hands-on-deck effort \u2014 a successful effort \u2014 to bury the story about Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop just weeks before the 2020 election. The FBI was there, leaning on Twitter (which didn\u2019t require much pressure) to shove the potentially catastrophic revelation into the oubliette of pseudo-national-security censorship.<\/p>\n

The story was\u00a0first reported<\/a>\u00a0by the\u00a0New York Post<\/em>, the nation\u2019s oldest newspaper and still its fourth largest. That didn\u2019t matter. Twitter suspended the\u00a0Post<\/em>\u2019s account and the deep state, abetted by its agents in the FBI,\u00a0went to work to discredit the story. Presto, that regime media lapdog\u00a0Politico<\/em>\u00a0pumped out a story about how more than fifty \u2014 count \u2019em! \u2014 senior intelligence officials dismissed the story as \u201cRussian disinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t disinformation. And it had nothing to do with Russia. On the contrary, its sordid revelations were not just about Hunter Biden and his whores and drug use, but \u2014 far more damaging \u2014 Joe Biden\u2019s possible role as \u201cthe big guy\u201d receiving his 10 percent cut from Hunter\u2019s business deals in China, Ukraine and elsewhere. Those deals, by the way, were secured only because Hunter was able to trade successfully on his father\u2019s name as vice-president. Absent that suppression, there is a very good chance that Donald Trump would have been acclaimed president in 2020.<\/p>\n

I understand there is a sense in which this is old and familiar news. If Hillary Clinton were in the room, I would expect to her to ask, \u201cWhat difference at this point does it make?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The answer is \u201ca lot.\u201d Yes, we\u2019ve had warnings about what is happening now at least since Dwight Eisenhower, who in his farewell address, warned about the rise of a \u201cmilitary-industrial complex\u201d whose unprecedented size and technological power could \u201cendanger our liberties\u201d and democracy.<\/p>\n

Greenwald touched on Eisenhower\u2019s warning in his video. He also mentions Senator Frank Church, who in the 1970s warned that \u201cthe technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny\u201d on American society.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re past the point where stage lights are falling out of the sky and landing at Truman Burbank\u2019s feet. The question is: will we muster the wit and the courage to step out into freedom?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
