Gen Zers don’t remember a time when this country wasn’t horribly divided. If your political memory starts with George W Bush and only includes Obama and Trump you probably just assume we were always this dysfunctional. But we weren’t. We used to all hang out together and make fun of each other and stuff. Politics just weren’t that big a deal; besides abortion our biggest arguments were over crap like marginal tax rates. I don’t see it happening again any time soon, but I’m glad I got to at least experience it. I hope my kid gets to one day, too.

This is probably a long shot, but if anybody happens to be in DC this weekend and plans on visiting Arlington, I would love to see a fresh photo of my husband’s grave in Section 60. SSG Alan W. Shaw Section 60, Grave 8451 B Co 1/12 Cav, 1st Cavalry Division November 10, 1975 - February 9, 2007 There’s just something about knowing people still stop by, still say his name, still remember. 🇺🇸⭐🇺🇸

REMINDER: The worst scandal in U.S. history is the Trump/Russia Collusion Hoax. This was literally a coup attempt, executed by a sitting incumbent President (to block his successor) and the losing Presidential candidate (to overthrow the man who defeated her in a fair election). WORST SCANDAL IN U.S. HISTORY. And we are all so used to the crazy things the Democrats try to do that we lose sight of the sheer, awful magnitude of this scandal.

There really are conspiracies. Democrats weaponized the CIA and FBI to spy on and entrap Trump advisors to delegitimize the 2016 election by falsely accusing the president of being a secret agent for Russia. “Former” military and Intelligence Community (IC) officials created a censorship-by-NGO scheme, designed specifically to circumvent the First Amendment, that censored, and still censors, millions of people in the US and Europe for disfavored, legal speech. And senior FBI officials, retired IC leaders, and IC intermediaries ran a sophisticated information operation to persuade journalists, social media executives, and millions of voters that Russians had obtained and manipulated the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop. But not everything is a conspiracy. There is no evidence that NASA faked the moon landing, and abundant evidence that it happened. There is no evidence that the condensation trails (contrails) left by jets in the sky contain chemicals intentionally sprayed by the government to control the population or weather, and abundant evidence to the contrary. And there is no evidence that low levels of radiation from nuclear power plants, electromagnetic fields, or cell phone towers cause measurable harm. It’s true that suspicious things have happened and are happening. The FBI didn’t let Joe Kent, the director of the Counterterrorism Center (CTC), investigate Charlie Kirk’s death, and Israel has influenced US foreign policy. Jeffrey Epstein hid cameras in Kleenex boxes, sent himself an email suggesting a scheme to blackmail Bill Gates, and worked for the arms dealer at the heart of the Iran-Contra scandal. President Trump confirmed that the US government knows more about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) than it has revealed, and high-level current and former IC officials say they exhibit characteristics that US technologies lack and may indicate non-human intelligence (NHI). The CIA experimented with mind control, its director visited Jack Ruby in prison shortly before he became psychotic, and high-level scientists and officials are dying and disappearing. But those facts do not prove many of the theories currently circulating. The FBI was right to deny Kent and the CTC new powers to go on a fishing expedition, since doing so would be precisely the abuse of IC power the US Constitution protects us against. Trump has wanted to attack Iran for decades and is solely responsible for the US military action. The email Epstein sent himself was in the voice of a Gates advisor trying to get more compensation, and there is no good evidence of a domestic or foreign intelligence agency working with him to run a sex blackmail operation. There is still no hard proof of NHI or recovered craft. And there is no good evidence of any connection between, or pattern of, high-level scientists dying. And many of those theories undermine the search for truth. Kent’s claim that Israel may have been involved in Kirk’s murder could support the defense of Kirk’s shooter, Tyler Robinson, against whom the evidence is overwhelming. Falsely claiming that Israel controls Trump undermines public trust in democracy, just as did the false conspiracy theory that Russia controlled him. Smearing and scapegoating everyone who associated with Epstein as complicit in his crimes has undermined our justice system and legitimized mob rule. False claims about UAP have been used for decades to maintain government secrecy. And irresponsible claims about the government murdering its scientists worsen delusions about mind control, directed energy weapons, and gangstalking. And so the question now is: how do we distinguish between real conspiracies and unproven theories? What can we learn from proven conspiracies and disproven ones? And how should we think about conspiracies and conspiracy theories moving forward? The Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley recently invited me to give a talk on the subject, and I addressed Russiagate, censorship, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Epstein, the JFK assassination, MK-Ultra, and UAPs. An edited version of that talk follows. x.com/shellenberger/… Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning journalism, read the full article, and watch the full video! x.com/shellenberger/…

Victor Davis Hanson: Iran Is Breaking Down, and the Ripple Effects Are Just Beginning Despite claims the war is failing, Iran is facing massive economic losses, dwindling oil capacity, and a military that’s effectively been neutralized. “It’s not a military problem… the

Cathie Wood just named the contradiction nobody wants to touch. She compared Elon Musk to Thomas Edison. Not as praise. As a pattern. Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.” The media sees a reckless billionaire setting fires. Wood sees the only person in the room building anything at all. The gap between those two readings tells you everything about who controls the narrative. Start with Tesla. Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.” He built the exact machine environmentalists spent thirty years begging for. Didn’t lobby for it. Didn’t write a whitepaper. Built it. Forced every major automaker on Earth to abandon the combustion engine. Then the second he won, the same movement made him the enemy. Because the establishment never wanted the problem solved. They wanted the problem funded. And those are two very different things. A solved problem kills the committee. Kills the nonprofit. Kills the careers built on managing the crisis instead of ending it. Musk ended it. And they have never forgiven him. SpaceX looks like an escape hatch if you never read past the headline. Which is exactly what the press counts on. Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.” Mars was never the exit. It is the lab. Build under conditions so brutal that every breakthrough changes what is possible back home. You learn to keep a human alive in a frozen irradiated vacuum. Fixing an energy grid on a temperate planet becomes arithmetic. He is not running from the cradle. He is stress-testing the technology that preserves it. But that story doesn’t sell ads. Doesn’t move polling numbers. So they bury it under hit pieces and congressional theater and call it journalism. Most people who reach his level stop building and start protecting what they have. They buy senators. They buy newspapers. They buy silence. Musk keeps picking the hardest unsolved problems on the planet and running straight at them. That is what terrifies the establishment. Not that he might fail. That he might succeed without them. Without their funding. Without their approval. Without anything they can hold over his head. A man they cannot buy is a man they cannot control. So they do the only thing they have left. They send the media after him. Every legacy outlet runs the same playbook. Strip the context. Clip the quote. Frame the motive. Let the algorithm do the rest. It has worked on every builder before him. It will not work on this one. They will spend their careers trying to tear him down. He will spend his building the thing that saves them anyway. The stones always come from inside the walls.
