Best summary I've seen of actual results of the events, versus fake media's falsification of same. Seems our culture is in midst of a massive shift from print & TV media to internet media postings as the main trusted source of reliable info.

To me, the bottom line as described by Jim is that:

“The strongest evidence for goalpost migration is not that the goalposts moved after the war.

It is that there appears to have been no imaginable outcome under which many of the war’s critics would have acknowledged victory.

If every possible outcome leads to the same conclusion, then the conclusion did not come from the evidence.

The evidence arrived later.

The conclusion was already waiting for it.”

Bucky, we call that a BFO: a blinding flash of the obvious. This is the game.

How might this story end, Jim? For how much longer can the corporate media continue to perpetuate their intellectual fraud, posing as an argument based on facts?

How does it end? The same way every confidence game ends. The marks stop believing, the grifters start retiring, and suddenly everyone claims they knew it was a scam all along.
