Venezuela. Iran. The ceasefire that just collapsed again. Same pattern every time: attention peaks, then vanishes, before accountability shows up. Here's the data on how fast.
Once again, the culprit is human nature. It is an ancient political maxim that people have short memories. That’s why newly elected incumbents do the stuff that will anger their constituents early so that by the time elections come around, people have forgotten.
The powers that be that you mention simply exploit this human availability
So, unless and until we can change your nature, which is controversial in and of itself, this and other things you lament will continue to be the case.
When print newspapers were a thing, there used to be a comic strip in the funny papers called Pogo, which was political satire; in one famous strip, Pogo famously said “we have met the enemy, and it is us”; that remains the case and perhaps shall always be the case.
Never a good thing to forget victims. If we don't learn, it makes their life useless so remembering them and learning from them is the way to pay homage
This is by design. Bannon’s stray to “ flood the zone” with so many crimes and terror that no one can possibly keep track. My idea from the start is to take ONE thing and run with it. Do research and keep learning.
For me it’s the elections. From all the data I’ve compiled, the podcasts I’ve watched and what comes out in the media, I’ve uncovered massive fraud via our voting machines during the tabulation process. Rather than votes counted, they were purged in predominately black and brown districts. The reason Biden won fairly in 2020 was covid and mail in voting. Trump can’t purge mail in votes. This is why he’s trying to ban it.
Anyway, pick ONE and run with it. Share what you’ve learned and let’s get our democracy back!!!
Your analysis is right on. In my always looking for a root cause of an issue ,mindset, I can only find one cause that if resolved would eliminate the need for most of this flopping and twitching by the Trump Administration. That is the release of the Epstein files. This is the only issue not covered by the Supreme Court's Presidential immunity decision as all of the scandal occurred before Trump was President. This means if the truth comes out, whatever it is, he is concerned about impeachment and removal from office or the loss of support and funding from many of his major donors. Image and money are Trump's ONLY concerns so he will start or do anything to keep attention away froth Epstein case.
I know I never remember outcomes when any event depends on that far right, trump supporting group and the issues they cause with their actions and their words. In fact I dread anything definitive that will be determined by that entire crowd!!! I know their evil commoner hating intentions. And all around me people are doing all the same things they ever have. And so am I.
My guardrails piece (I left link in other comment) actually undercuts the "far right, Trump crowd" framing, because it wasn't one party doing the dismantling. Glass-Steagall got repealed under Clinton. The Telecom Act that shrank media down to six companies passed under Clinton. Citizens United came from the Roberts court. The CFPB has been gutted under both Trump terms and never fully rebuilt in between. Forty years of regulatory capture and campaign finance corruption, spread across both parties, is the actual mechanism. Sort it by team jersey instead of by who cashed the check, and you'll keep missing who's actually doing it.
It's flooding the zone working as planned. We scroll. React. And yes, we forget. I read something about how GenZ is the first Gen to not ourscore their parents in standard tests that have been given since the 1940s. Theyre also the first Gen where education is online. We're trained to scroll, but it's not a good way to learn. Not in the way that matters. The attention span is intentionally hijacked.
Your Epstein Files article is spot on, Rxan. This is what I’ve began to recognize early in the The Covid Con. The global Marxist Totalitarians are calling the shots. They are keeping us at each other’s throats as a distraction so we won’t look past to see that they are the enemy of us all. Republican and Democrat politicians are all on the same elitist side. They are mere puppets who answer to their puppet masters to keep their power and money. Each Congressional member (save Thomas Massey) has an AIPAC handler and is bribed and/or blackmailed by Israel. Even Trump betrayed his supporters demonstrating he is Israel first; not America first.

There’s nothing new under the sun, the same was the case in the print era. The culprit is human nature.
That is not good enough. As human beings we need to look at needs, wants, hopes, dreams, power, caring. Then we must balance that type of wheel
Do you think there's a chance that if somebody speaks truth with Nuance… it will ever catch on in the main narrative?
yes. That’s why I write.
Fast forward a year.. we're going to do some things together that a lot of people see.
I just can't forget the victims.

Dianne, this is worth pointing at directly.

All I really think all this chaos is about are the Epstein files... never released with truth and unredacted names of perpetrators!
Rxan Smith went HARD on Epstein Files issue. It's his most colorful (and authentic) post yet.
