Pulling The Thread
As the great American journalist Hunter S. Thompson once famously wrote regarding the end of another era:

“...with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark -- the place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”


That was the way that I felt after hearing George Herbert Walker Bush’s rambling and bizarre eulogy for former President and reliable fixer Gerald Ford when the father of the current delusional, reviled and increasingly isolated occupant of the White House remarked:

“After a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy, our nation turned to Gerald Ford and a select handful of others to make sense of that madness. And the conspiracy theorists can say what they will, but the Warren Commission report will always have the final definitive say on this tragic matter. Why? Because Jerry Ford put his name on it and Jerry Ford’s word was always good.”


That was the moment when I finally realized that we are winning the info wars. That the corruption was too systemic, the damage too great and the slow and agonizing deaths of the propaganda and lies of the ruling elitist fascists and their insane ideology through the thousands of cuts inflicted by the bloggers, the citizen journalists and the independent researchers had finally reached critical mass and the tipping point for the depraved oligarchs was rapidly approaching, it is just over the horizon. The ship of fools of the right-wing crackpots, the theocrats, the blood barters and the great Republican machine was rudderless and destined for the rocks...

3. They can't keep the genie in the bottle any longer with the power of
democratizing internet communication. That's not to say that the internet can't also, and is, used for baseless propaganda.
Very revealing that he felt the need at a solemn event to remember Ford by FIRST calling into question the evidence/conspiracies of his his (papi's) involvement in the Kennedy assassination, and saying because Ford was a good man and was on the Warren commission, it couldn't be true. To paraphrase Shakespeare: The 'man' doth protest too much.

4. Gerald Ford's biographer reported...

that Ford claimed LBJ was responsible for the JFK assassination, while on his deathbed. He was featured briefly on cable news, then quickly fell off the radar. Ford was obviously a dedicated Republican right up to the end, perhaps fearing for his party's future. I wonder if Poppy shares those fears?
