The biggest problem I see in todays world is the idea of individual truth and it being as valid as actual truth. This idea can be benign when used to describe the world, an event, or anything else as one believes it to be, so long as there is room to revise that truth as more information becomes available. It is dangerous when it is held up as sacrosanct and just as valid as the actual truth or the way things actually are.
This idea has been pushed so far past incredulity that it is now common to hear people make patently false claims talking about men who menstruate or men who have babies (here and here). There is no real actual world where this happens. By definition males, at least in the human species, are incapable of doing either, as those are distinctly female characteristics. From a scientific (real scientific) perspective, gender is used to describe an organism’s role in reproduction. In sexual reproducing species, males produce sperm (the male reproductive gamete) and females produce ovum (the female reproductive gamete), while hermaphrodites are capable of producing both. In asexual reproduction, animals are considered neuter beings, as they produce neither gamete, and bud, split, or otherwise reproduce in some other fashion (here).
Proponents of the idea often try to unnecessarily cloud the issue with pseudoscience and garbage, citing very rare (COVID vaccination side effects are more common) conditions and disease states of incorrect chromosome translation xxy, xyy, and others to prove reproductive sex is a myth. However, these are extraordinarily rare and generally have serious negative side effects that were traditionally considered disease states (here, here, and here). This isn’t an uncommon stretching of reality. As a matter of fact, large swaths of academia, the media, and deep state have clearly worked on a narrative, and that narrative is the one truth. They will out right bold-faced lie to maintain it.
Recently, there was a very public trial of a young man by the name of Kyle Rittenhouse. This trial was completely available online and anyone, even those who tracked to the blue team that actually watched the proceedings, concluded that Kyle was innocent due to his claim of self-defense (here). During the trial, Gaige Grosskreutz, a witness for the prosecution, testified that Kyle didn’t shoot him until he pointed a gun at him and advanced (here and here). However, after that point, MSNBC still claims that Kyle shot him with his hands up (here). This isn’t a mistake, this is a blatant attempt to distort public perception away from what is truth and on to the narrative (here).
The media goes further by either totally ignoring or misrepresenting actual, real news items that would disrupt or change their narrative, and by making up out of whole cloth or supporting things that didn’t happen and are easily proven false by even a cursory investigation. These things include the border crisis, Hunter Biden’s laptop, the Trump Russian collusion story, the Trump Ukrainian quid pro quo (this, even with video easily available of Biden actually abusing his position as VP for quid pro quo), and the list goes on and on (here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). They will admit the truth when absolutely forced to, and when that happens all previous reporting is just flushed down the memory hole. However, their preferred tactic is to report false information 24/7 for weeks at the top of the hour, and then when the lie is clearly evident, or just before, the MSM likes to run one brief retraction then forget anything relating to the false story ever existed. This has the effect of having fully reinforced the narrative in the public mind as true, and reduces to near zero the number of people who realize it was false and retracted (here, here, here, and here).
I imagine this is in part current or past remnants of CIA control of the media (here, here, and here). Between Mocking Bird and the study of psychological control of opinion in MK Ultra, we know the Government has done the research to involuntarily control public opinion. The rise of the internet began to change all of that. Suddenly, people who once thought themselves isolated, and perhaps crazy for noticing when things were not as the accepted narrative suggested, were able to find each other and compare notes. As more and more information became available online, these people were able to disprove the narrative more often. By the early 2000s, the internet became a serious threat to the official narrative. No longer were there only a few voices, like John Stossel, with resources to question the narrative but relatively limited reach. As the problem of people ignoring the narrative increased, and social media became an all-connecting power, those who control the media devised a way to sort the “fake” information from the “true” information. The term ‘fake’ applying to any information regardless of veracity that didn’t support the decided narrative and ‘true’ being that, regardless of its invalidity, it does support the narrative. Thus, fact checkers were born. These are entities granted phenomenal cosmic powers of the Admin, and armed with the mighty ban hammer, who have been set the task of protecting the narrative from any deviation, no matter how factual. This has been reported widely by many sources (here, here, and here).
Don’t worry, we can trust the science because science is adversarial, impartial, and fact-based. Sadly, this also isn’t true. There have been many cases were expected results, even if false, were reported. The reason for this is if the results deviated from the desired results it would hurt the organization that commissioned them and cut off the sweet, sweet river of funding. As early as 1859, there was clear evidence that smoking was bad for you (here). However, because of the funding, there was more research saying it wasn’t (here, here, and here). Similarly, the sugar industry managed to shift the blame for obesity and heart problems from sugar to fat and cholesterol so thoroughly that many people today still think eating fat makes one fat or can cause heart attacks (here). This is entirely untrue and coincidentally this occurred from the middle 60s, into the middle 70s, and took hold through the 80s. This trend gave us non-fat products that have significant added sugar (so they are palatable) and is the number one cause of the sudden obesity epidemic in the U.S. and around the world, in my opinion (here).
This malfeasance goes further, and in 2018, a brave group of academics had noticed the absurdity of published science that seemed more based on the narrative than on any standard of research or scientific rigor. They absolutely didn’t want that to be true. So, to disprove what they thought they were seeing this group wrote 20 absurd papers, everything from the oppression of dogs by their perceived gender in dog parks to re-writing a chapter of Mein Kampf with feminist pronouns and essentially replacing Nazis with feminists and their oppressors (Jews among them) with the patriarchy. The most frightening thing is seven of the papers were published and at least seven more were on track to be published after revision from the review process (here, here, here and here). Note, most of these papers were submitted under false names from institutions that do not exist. Much to these academic’s horror, they found there was no bar for scholarship, scientific rigor, or integrity. All that mattered is that the papers sufficiently supported the approved narrative.
The bottom line my friends is we are living in the matrix. Nothing you see in the MSM can be taken at face value, and you can’t even follow the science without first finding out who is paying for it and if there are dissenting opinions. Note, I have found the more harshly those with dissenting opinions are punished, generally, the more accurate and sounder is their data. Let us not forget Climategate (here). If you ever think that the deep state or the controlled narrative is a myth (here), you are wrong. I have said it before and will again the end goal of these people is to create a society where the average person lives in a very narrow acceptable band of thought and feelings. Resulting in as I have said before a world where Carlin was right and people are just smart enough to run the machinery and dumb enough not to ask questions. This will enable those pushing the narrative to have total power and essentially reestablish a functional Nobility and peasant hierarchy in society. Those running things don’t care about you all they care about is their own prestige, power, and wealth.
Please be discerning and cautious with what you believe. God Bless you. Until next time.

It's uncomfortable to realize that these folks have no commitment to the truth. But necessary, if we hope to survive as free people.
