The Raw Deal (13 October 2022)

Began with an excellent Letter to the Editor of the WI State Journal outlining reasons why the Democrats do not deserve your vote, which I was surprised to see because WSJ has a very strong left-ward slant and such expressions of criticism are few and far between. The Alex Jones' damage trail and gargantuan award of nearly $1b is calculated to make any skeptic of "official narratives" reconsider whether or not to express their opinions, which makes this (in effect) a massive assault upon the 1st Amendment. I doubt that it's going to have the intended effect, however, because too much of this has smacked of a "show trial" to demonize him as the exemplar par excellence of the species conspiracy theorist. $1b for expressing an opinion! Nobody's going to buy that. And there are so many excellent reasons for skepticism, one of which involved the FBI guy who pocketed some $16,000,000 for having his feelings hurt (which is what this is all about) but who appears (to me) to be receiving hush money for being used as the stand-in for David Wheeler, who was caught playing two roles at Sandy Hook: the grieving father and a SWAT team member, walking up and down Dickinson Drive carrying an AR-15 upside down by the magazine! Believe it or not, he turns out to be the lead investigator on the Durham Probe, which shakes my confidence even further in the ability of the government to investigate malfeasance by any of its organs. A nice new piece by Mary Maxwell, Ph.D., LL.B, "Thirteen Reasons Why I Reject The Official Sandy Hook Story", can be found on my blog at jameshfetzer.org. Check it out. Calls from Bruce in TX, Brian in MO, and Paul in CA rounded out the show. Lots on Alex Jones and why this whole shebang is going to increase doubts about government accounts and not reinforce them.
