You are quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. This is great (in a terrible way, ofc). Thank you.

Spot on - the big story with no follow up is the thing.

What about the Biden impeachment inquiry - didn’t we see actual checks showing Jim Biden repaying Joe’s large “loans”? Now there is radio silence.

At the end of the day nearly everything in American media is manipulated and nothing is trustworthy.

I think The Trusted News Initiative has assumed control.

The United States is the most corrupt, evil country ever to exist. The Deep State, which controls this country, is deadly serious about controlling this planet. The power elite are avaricious megalomaniacs and have no intention of missing their goal.

These dead ends do make one wonder if we are in fact living in a simulation.

I too have questioned what the heck happens after the big questions are asked and there are no follow-up answers. I have experienced the same frustrations over and over. We have that kind of frustration here in Oregon over important subjects like increasing homelessness and millions of dollars being thrown around with nothing really changing. There was to be a ban on daytime camping starting September 1st but it never happened because the wise idiots in charge just kept arguing about not enough shelters in spite of all the money spent. Then there is the open fentanyl use and increasing overdoses even among children. The latest on that subject is a bill the governor is to sign which will re-criminalize public hard drug use September 1. If I were a betting person, no way would I bet this will actually happen. Is it any wonder many of us have lost faith that those in office know what they are doing? While the rest just want to be entertained and dumbed down even more? Anyway, thank you, Donald, for your continuous attempts to get to the bottom of something.

From my perspective, it seems this fellow may have summed up the situation we find ourselves in: We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the US public believes is false.

This is one of the MOST important short essays I have ever read....since I first read Orwell's "1984" as a young schoolboy. In fact it describes precisely how the "Ministry of Truth" actually works.......in the book, and NOW.....right now. I URGE YOU ALL TO READ THIS SHORT IMPORTANT ESSAY VERY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY as I have just done. Jeffries shows us the problem and the mechanism we are all actually being blindsided by......That leaves us with the hoariest of problems....that we must now solve, of course, and quickly: WHAT IS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS?.....1. Jeffries, his researchers, you, and I need to organize ourselves into a group that will TACKLE this problem.......and also publicize it and our work on it....far & wide. . A group like this used to be called a "listserve" that we could all talk to via a single click. Donald, will you help us set this up. Then we can --possibly--begin to make ourselves ans our work MUCH more prominent both on Substack and elsewhere......we must do outreach as soon as we can. --Dennis Morrisseau [USArmy 2LT retired. ltmrebellion@gmail.com

I share your frustration, Donald. I've noticed this for years. Way back in the late eighties, there was a news story that popped up ONCE on the nightly news. It was about an underground city that had been discovered somewhere in Europe, with people living there. A short video clip was shown. I was really excited about the story. I couldn't wait to hear more. But that was it. The story just disappeared. Now I wonder if it was predictive programming for a future psy-op. I've noticed that when predictive programming is not in the form of pop-culture offerings, that it presents as very short "news" clips. In the late nineties, there were a bunch of "news" stories about the dangers of carrying cash...that it was dirty, and could spread disease. By then I could easily recognize predictive programming when I heard it.

Now, every day there are news stories about bodies being found; in parks, on hiking trails, on a floating boat, in ponds, rivers, the surf, in the street. Locally, two bodies were found burning in the street... about a month apart, in different areas. Nothing to see here, folks. The authorities are very quick to reassure the public that : " no foul play is suspected". NEVER is there any follow-up on how these people died.

Congratulations on making Zerohedge, for I think, the third time? Donald Jeffries is moving up in the world of alt-news. Maybe an "offer" is on the near horizon. I know you would never take it. You've proved your integrity and authenticity...at least to me.

Antarctica is a real mystery. I've watched lots of videos about the race to the South Pole and Byrd's flight over the South Pole. Byrd was a very interesting man. So was Rolf Amundsen and Scott. Shackleton is my favorite polar explorer.

There are a lot of things at the South Pole that don't make sense.

Thanks for the Substack Recommendation Don!

I liked the way you brought all these pieces of stories together to tell your own story. Explaining the steps you go through when thinking through these topics.

Excellent work.

Of the "Five Eyes" only the usa has a Second Amendment. The people have been disarmed in the others. Cui Bono? Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. James Madison Rome remained free for four hundred years and Sparta eight hundred, although their citizens were armed all that time; but many other states that have been disarmed have lost their liberties in less than forty years.

It seems our brains have devolved to only be able to consume small bits of information which are stored temporarily. I blame today's media for that. Gone are the days when one would read essays, books, or watch factual documentaries. I remember when critical thinking was considered a strength. It's been replaced by emotional outbursts to the most current social narratives proselytized by social media.

Who throws The Secretary of War out a window and what happened to those 100 mpg carburetors and on and on? Jan 6th left Americans looking like a bunch of chickens pecking at a mirror and who's buying all those fucking lawyers? I knew something was fishy on 911 when they couldn't show 1 min. of the many hours of tapes they had showing a plane breaking all the laws of psychics. All this political theater now making Americans think we are going to have a free election because...who said so? Look for 2020 again because it worked once why won't it work again? Now they have illegal names for the ballots to soften up the theft. As for saving my country, I'll get on it right after I finish this beer and ballgame.

"We are told that some clever 'insurrectionist' stole dear Lady Pelosi’s laptop on January 6th" Wow, I never heard that one. At any rate, I am still waiting to hear what was on Anthony Weiner's Laptop. (Besides Anthony's Weiner) And there is Hunter Biden's Laptop. Of course, I could add several laptops- Gary Caradori's Laptop; Danny Casolaro's Laptop; Vince Foster's Laptop. And that is just for starters.

Maybe some of those are sitting on a back shelf in a repair shop in New Jersey. I best start looking around.
