What is Truth? Or, even, truth? What people generally agree is happening? Maybe. But Reality seems to change a lot. Consider, if you will:
The Ukraine. The “country’s” pieces were once part of Austria-Hungary, Poland, and Russia. It then became part of the old Soviet Union. Then, it declared its independence. Then, there was a Western-inspired coup. Then, there was war.
Said war, according to the West, was a vicious, savage, crazed Russian invasion, intended to seize Ukrainian territory and expand the Russian Federation—on the way to conquering Western Europe.
However.
The West kept advancing the limits of its “defensive” alliance, NATO, farther and farther east, closer and closer to the Russian frontier. In the end, NATO stood at Russia’s border—from the Baltic to the Balkans. Jack Matlock, last American ambassador to the U.S.S.R., told Congress in 1991 that this was the most stupid policy decision since the end of the Cold War. (If that struggle has even ended.)
Finland & Sweden Have Recently Been Added
The democratic Ukraine’s Permanent President, Vladimir Zelensky, groomed by expensive image consultants paid for out of Washington, D.C. and European capitals, has embraced Nazism (remember the Azov Battalion and its National Socialist symbols?). What about Stepan Bandera, Hero of the Ukraine and Nazi collaborator?). Failed actor and comedian Zelensky, a Jew, has barred opposition parties. (11 of them.) He has banned elections. He censored the media. He has restricted travel abroad. He has proscribed the existence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (because for the past 1,000 years, it was linked to the Russian Orthodox Church).
Western media assert that the Ukraine has suffered about 500,000 dead and wounded. But they claim Russia has lost more! And the Ukraine is winning because it has received €111 billion ($115 billion.) in aid. And it is using U.S. and U.K. long range weapons to strike Russia.
Yet! Rusia now controls the Donbass, the eastern Ukrainian territories mostly populated by ethnic Russians. After a referendum in which the people voted for union with Russia, the Donbass provinces united with the mother country. The Crimea is again now part of Russia. And the Ukraine is rubble.
West Asia. If you believe the astonishing “truth” proclaimed by Western Media, totally under the control of Jews, murderous members of Palestinian Hamas swarmed out of their bunkers and brutally attacked peaceful “Israel”. They slaughtered innocents attending a music concert, killing 1200 of them. In self-defense, “Israel” counter-attacked, destroying Gaza, exterminating about 45,000 “fanatics”. (No one seems to have counted the dead buried under mountains of debris.) Non-violent Zionists then went on to invade and brutally bomb neighboring Lebanon because the country threatened them. Later, “Israelis” then invaded Syria, nest door, since it was such a danger. Peaceful “Israel” then bombed all the military centers of the new “government” that had declared it wanted good relations with Zioland. The nonviolent Jews then grabbed as much of Syria’s water as they could. Now, the Cradle of Civilization is divided among Turks, Zionists, Kurds, and Americans, each holding a piece of the now-destroyed country.
However.
Zionists, after more than half a century of invasion, seized Palestine, ejecting 750,000 people at gunpoint and seizing most of their property. Cue the Nazis and their trains to “Holocaust” camps.
Lebanon’s Islamic Resistance (Hezbollah) struck at “Israel” during its genocide of the remaining Palestinians. In return, the Zionists murdered more than 3,000 Lebanese civilians, forcibly displaced one million people, bombed UN-designated World Heritage historic sights there, and shot at soldiers of the UN Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL).
Lebanon’s control is currently from Washington, with 5,000 Greek soldiers now helping the “Israelis” occupy the country. Syria no longer exists.
Greater “Israel”
Donald J. Trump. “The Donald”. In 2016, when he ran for president against Hillary Clinton, he and his supporters acquired the tag “The Deplorables”. Then, he won the election. Then, the media and mainstream politicians refused to accept the poll. Then, they went after him in any way they could and for any reason they could manage. Then, they tried to impeach him—twice.
Certainly, “The Donald” is not the model of a very modern president. He definitely is not a philosopher-king. Trump and his myriad flaws somehow became the justification for race riots, looting, arson, and general insurrection cross the country. Given The Donald’s near universal opprobrium, few of these criminals were punished.
Then there was the questionable election of 2020, somehow putting a dotard, Genocide Joe Biden, into office as Chief Executive. All the free election controls and secret ballot protections went by the boards.
And people objected.
An estimated 80,000 demonstrators engaged in a mostly peaceful protest, with perhaps 2,000 of them breaking into the Capitol building, to object to the election and its outcome. Described by the Lamestream Media and far too many politicos as an “insurrection”, protestors I know personally had a different viewpoint. Confirmed Progressive Leftists, they did not accept the election’s validity. Moreover, their view was that most people there questioned the voting and were exercising their First Amendment Rights to “petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
Instead of seeking to remedy the people’s dissatisfaction, the ‘government” then assiduously hunted down anyone it could find that might have been present. And had them arrested and punished. In the process, Google location data was used. Cell phone data was accessed. Videos taken were run through face-recognition software. The “government” so concerned with “law and order” violated many legal protections and dishonored numerous privacy safeguards to get its way.
Yet, the media with its bias still parrots outrageous lies. One example is that the “rioters” killed several policemen while doing considerable damage to the Capitol. Except that the coppers who died, died of suicide or natural causes sometime after January 6. And the “vast ravages to the building” amounted more to broken glass and some vandalized offices, particularly that of Nancy Pelosi, presumed Speaker of the House for Life and Acting President.
What is always omitted from any account of the truth about that day is unarmed Ashley Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran who was shot and killed by Capitol Police officer Lt. Michael Byrd. Despite her unarmed status and the controversial circumstances of her death, Byrd was neither charged nor disciplined. To the best of my knowledge, he is still employed. In fact, after his murderous action, he was promoted to captain.
Ashley Babbitt, Blurred at Center
So, as Pontius Pilate asked, “what is truth?”
Trump the Second Time. The media, along with the coastal elites, simply refuse to accept The Donald’s return. They simply deny the results of 2024’s election. Typical of the propaganda dished out is the Washington Post headline of January 11: Trump becomes the first president to be sentenced. (For using hush money to silence a critic.) According to Lionel Nation on January 10, 2025:
This case, dismissed by even staunch Trump critics as legally absurd, exemplifies the decay. CNN legal analyst Elie Honig called it “flawed and unprecedented,” while Sen. John Fetterman bluntly labeled it “total b—s–t.” [New York District Attorney] Bragg resurrected a dormant misdemeanor with a dubious legal theory, inflating it into federal-level felonies, despite no federal charges ever being filed. Merchan [whose daughter has ties to the Democrats] compounded the farce by permitting these charges to proceed, layering the case with errors that scream for reversal.
None of the anti-Trump crowd ever seems to address the principal issues in the 2016 and 2024 elections: Hillary Clinton with her baggage and Kamalam Harris with her lack of background and non-existent skills.
John F. Kennedy. According to mainstream beliefs, Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated him on November 22, 1963. He shot him from behind, using a bolt action Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. Oswald fired 3 shots in about 6 seconds.
The “accepted” theory omits a number of facts. Oswald was an indifferent marksman in the Marine Corps. The firearm was notoriously inaccurate and poorly made. With a bolt action rifle, the first shot is the most accurate, owing to working the bolt and re-acquiring the target. Oswald had an intelligence background with the CIA in Japan. He also supposedly defected to the Soviet Union and renounced his citizenship in front of a State Department consular officer, about the only sure way to give up your American citizenship. Yet, Oswald returned to the U.S. and resumed his nationality.
Jack Rubensein Assassinating Lee Harvey Oswald—Dead Men Tell No Tales
What’s always left out of most Kennedy assassination stories is the “Israeli”, i.e. Jewish connection. Besides the intelligence and miliary services which Kennedy distrusted and who likely were deeply complicit in the murder, there is Kennedy’s criticism of “Israel’s” nuclear weapons program. He had insisted that the Zionists permit inspection of their arsenal. Since “Israeli” Jews have a long history of executing people they dislike, is it really a stretch to involve the Zionist Entity in Kennedy’s death? Is it unusual to wonder at Jack Ruby’s shooting of Oswald, definitively eliminating a patsy? Remember, Jack’s family name was Rubenstein, not a Muslim or Buddhist cognomen.
Besides the questionable facts put out by people seeking to obfuscate Kennedy’s murder, the latest is the story he is not dead! According to the latest disinformation, Kennedy used a Hollywood movie squib to simulate being shot. He then jumped into the trunk of his limousine and disappeared, presumably with his paramour Mary Pinchot Meyer (who also was not slain on Washington’s C&O Canal towpath).
New Jersey Drones. In December 2024, mysterious drones were spotted flying over the State of New Jersey. They were alternately either Iranian, Chinese, or U.S. government aircraft. Or perhaps from outer space. One theory was that the drones were American and were searching for lost nuclear material. All the politicos insisted they’re no danger to anyone. However, the ever-vigilant and extremely capable FBI is leading the investigation into whatever they are. Of course, the FBI is still investigating my non-existent contacts with Iran’s PressTV and never investigated my firing from the State Department.
COMMENT. The best way of eliminating Truth or truth is obscuring it with a variety of lies, alternate explanations, or charges of “conspiracy”. This ensures that no one can delve deep enough to learn what happened, is happening, or might happen. Naturally, the origin of “conspiracy” and “conspiracy theorist” is the Central “Intelligence” Agency. (Or, Lack of Intelligence Agency?) The CIA devised this concept to cast doubt on anyone who questioned the murder of John F. Kennedy. You know, the people who questioned his being shot from behind, instead of from the front. And the people who questioned Oswald’s marksmanship and questionable background. Or the people who questioned the hidden link to the intelligence services, the armed forces, and Jews to the crime.
Mulder and Scully never found the Truth That Is Out There. I doubt that we can, either. Particularly when people like Manuel Ochsenreiter and Scott Alan Bennett keep dying under mysterious circumstances in the midst of their investigations of truth.
