I'm not sure how to break through the cognitive dissonance on display among the virtue signalers who are struggling with the now crumbling corporate Ukraine narrative. How do we help these unfortunates understand that a tiny cabal of old white men hailing from sixty countries has usurped our media, our politics and our global economy?

I wish you had done an article about the Anti-War Rally. The last one I attended (protesting the illegal invasion of Iraq) was revelatory. The Capitol Police were mounted and casually patrolling the edges of the ginormous crowd (I got to pet lots of velvety muzzles) and there were no militarized police anywhere. The M$M had positioned their cameras on the edges of the Mall, and were filming the sparse edges of our massive crowd. We were sure that they'd significantly underrepresent our numbers, and they did. I fear the Anti-War Rally will have the same fate, and few will understand the import of participants overcoming various isms and ideologies to work together against the tiny cabal of psychopaths who are destroying our ecosystem in their relentless hoarding of the wealth of this planet.

I hope that this latest composition from Caitlin gives pause to those who formerly believed that Trump represented a viable alternative to the status quo. His faux mantle of anti-establishment fighter has not survived one-eyed scrutiny. He is a less polished iteration of the Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis brand of demagoguery. Any self-identifying blue-collar moderate who voted for him out of anger at the two fake parties, ought to look at who also voted for him: Hedge fund executives, CEO’s and their entourages of sharp-elbowed sycophants, the bulk of the professional class, eg, lawyers, doctors, accountants, pro athletes and their agents. All of these “other” voters knew the con, and were fully aware that Trump would never go full-blown on behalf of the struggling millions he rhetorically championed. And they were proven right.
