WEIRD THAT THE FBI COULDN’T FIND THIS GUY WHOSE EXISTENCE WAS A FATAL BLOW TO THE NARRATIVE:

There’s still an opportunity for justice, in prosecuting the people who brought this politicized mess and profited financially off doing so.

Reader John Steakley adds:

Let’s be specific: The only people who want this political debacle and miscarriage of justice to be memory-holed into the “dustbin of history” are the very people who started it, fueled it, advertised it, amplified it, promoted it, and campaigned on it.

THIS TERM, “BLUDGEONSPEAK,” SPEAKS TO ME:

I'm coining a term today: "bludgeonspeak".

Bludgeonspeak is the use of invented terminology, or historical terminology that has been hijacked and corrupted, and then emptied of all meaning except as an attempt at moral blackmail.

Here are some notable bludgeonspeak items in…
