Let me be blunt: Polly goes on way too long without stating the point she's trying to prove. To be even more blunt, disinformation agents very characteristically give you long soap opera narratives instead of trying to transmit information as clearly and concisely as possible.
That being said, a vital question is: exactly why do "the important stories never go viral"? She doesn't answer that in the first 6:14, which is when I turned it off.
Nor do I have the exact answer... yet. The art and science of it seems to be subtle. The overt act of telling you a lie is quite primitive by comparison, as is silencing and censoring those who tell the truth. Shadowbanning and other such techniques are somewhat more sophisticated.
There seems to be something underlying that, which I have noticed due to a phenomenon I have seen over and over: The evidence for numerous startling conclusions is frequently lying in plain sight, yet no one seems to notice. Further, bringing it to people's attention should be like setting a match to a cotton ball, but it is in fact more like setting a match to waterlogged newspaper.
I spent at least my first couple of years of research into the new world of conspiracy theory saying to myself, "Wait--what?! Hang on, is that really true?!" then launching into further research. This very much does not appear to be the way that the vast majority of "conspiracy theorists" operate, let alone normies.
In sum, it seems that all "They" need to do to keep "the important stories from going viral" is to simply keep them out of the mouths of authorities, both mainstream and alternative, because almost everyone needs to be beaten over the heads with the truth. Very few appear to be capable of getting it on their own.
I wonder if this was Polly's answer? I doubt it.
Whatever anyone cares to believe about Jim Jones and what happened at Jonestown, they should be aware of his... "enlightening" genealogy:
It turns out Jonestown should have been called Parkertown (plus, what is revealed by Jim’s connection to the Queen of England) (conspiracies.win 6/24/2024)
Without going through all the material in the article linked in the OP, I would wager that--somehow--Jim's genealogy is not included.
That somehow would, of course, be the now familiar pattern: "They" will hand you as many conspiracy theories from which to choose as you could possibly desire, and you are free to select from among them. All are wrong, and none of them will ever lead you to the truth They are trying to hide.
I couldn't help but notice that one of the linked subarticles was:
Jonestown, the CIA and the Mystery Tape, by David Parker Wise (2005)
As mentioned in my Parkertown writeup itself, They frequently use their mother's maiden name to reflect their bloodlines, being obsessed with such things. Do I think that finding a Parker writing up "conspiracy theory" about a Parker is a surprising coincidence? As I am trying to explain, no, it's no surprise to me at all.
Interestingly, a few weeks after announcing it was coming, Noem ended up just pushing the fence over:
Kristi Noem Blows Hole in Federally Mandated 'REAL ID,' Likely Leaving Pro-National ID Crowd Disappointed (Western Journal 5/7/2025)
My guess is that Trump & crew just didn't want to have the argument with the technocrats and the entirety of the mainstream media right now. Bigger fish to fry.
Maybe they also know that whoever brings this up as a "threat to democracy" and demands that the Trump Administration enforce the law as written is going to get all the blowback for going out of their way to create more trouble for the average American.
Not a bad play, IMHO.
There is as yet no direct evidence on this, but it has been suggested that the wildfires (if not also the sandstorms) are a revenge attack by Iran for the nuking of Bandar Abbas. Yes, that was a nuke, apparently meant to derail the ongoing talks between Iran and the United States, which appear to be going quite well.
Iran makes an incredible number of threats of retaliation and only very rarely does anything, but every once in a while they drop a hint like, "And we got shit you ain't even know about, too." I suspect everyone reading this is fully aware by this time that not all wildfires are wild.
I would also note here that the inflammatory remarks by Hegseth may be mere appeasement and distraction for the Christian Zionist crowd. Frankly, Hegseth may have been put forward as unwitting mouthpiece for such statements because he's one of them.
A question that gets kicked around is, "At what level of Eliteness are they finally told the truth?"
I've ruminated on that issue a lot and concluded (tentatively) that no Elite is ever told the full story. You have to answer the question with the question, "Why would The Person At The Top ever do that?"
Really, the question belies a certain misconception. It's like a goat thinking that the Judas goat and the farmer are "in on it together". Well, kinda, but then again not at all, right?
Over the years, I've listened extremely closely for any indication that the Elites are aware of any of the same knowledge that I've had to carefully excavate. I don't even need all the fingers on one hand to recount the instances there was a hint of that.
Thus, if we're ever going to get something close to "The Truth", we're going to have to do it the old fashioned way with disciplined research and the free interchange of knowledge.
But I also fully believe, as did Fox Mulder, that "The truth is out there."
I don't want to burst anyone's bubble and for anyone who does not care to have that done, please stop reading now.
As part of the normal process for a conspiracy theorist considering a high-profile event, one should always at least cursorily examine photographs we've been handed down in the historical record for signs of fakery. Thus, take a good, close look at this famous photo of the "Fatima Shepherd Children".
If you can't see any problems for yourself, then heed this warning: if you think the following may be some textual voodoo putting ideas in your head about the authenticity of the photo, read no further.
I think the boy may be legit, but look at the faces of the two young girls. They look like they're in their late teens or early twenties. The boy looks like a young boy, so why are the girls so much more aged?
Now look at the girl on the left: her head is too big for her body. In ratio, it's bigger than the boy's head, although women have smaller heads in ratio to their bodies. Same goes for the other girl to a lesser extent.
Now look at the girl on the right: note how much darker her throat is than her face. Is she a Moor from the neck down?
Finally, for both girls, see how their chins do not fade into their necks in any place? There's just a line where their faces overlay the rest. On the boy, you can see such a connection on his left hand side.
Conclusion: the faces or the girls were pasted over the originals.
Speculation on the reason: I have not the slightest clue.
My whole point here is that if anyone chooses to accept the analysis of anyone concerning miracles but who has also failed to detect century-old photo retouching, then good luck learning the truth from them.
I would suggest her whole story is fake, as was this suicide.
They reason "They" throw suicide into the narrative is because they know the only people who might be following along and questioning the story--conspiracy theorists--will chomp down hard on it while congratulating themselves that they've figured something out.
It's exactly the same reason fishermen give away free worms on the ends of twisted up pieces of metal. Works just as well, too.
I don;t at all think the problem is finding these things out. If some significant fraction of conspiracy theorists have known this for many years, how unlikely is it that Musk and Trump are not also aware?
The problem is what to do with that information if your goal is to somehow alleviate the situation, perhaps by changing the way the average American believes and behaves. It is not at all clear what should be done.
But conspiracy theorists never get tired of that feeling of superiority over "normies".
FWIW, the assassination of RFK was faked.
Strangely, even the photo used in the article was faked. The guy on RFK's left is half a head shorter than RFK, which you can see clearly in video of the event. Rosie Grier, in the back right of the photo, is half-a-head taller.
Why fake the photo at all? Who the hell knows, but it's some measure of how incredibly manipulated our history has been.
No, I've never collected any of this work in one place. What you're seeing are more like bulletins made out of research notes as I go along. I find out new stuff all the time, just stumbling into it as I always say.
Just this morning, for example, I was watching a video about the Ukraine War and happened to notice that there's a place in England called Paddock Wood. It's in Kent, which is the next county over from Essex, where most of these douchebags I've been researching originated.
A famous guy born there was Sir Frederick Morgan, who was Chief of Staff to the Supreme Allied Commander in WW2, just outside the spotlight as always. His father was Frederick Beverly Morgan, which is the name of the town just north of Salem, MA. His American deputy was General Ray Barker. What a coincidence, right?
So there's new material all the time, puzzle pieces I have to try to fit together into a narrative that makes some sort of sense to people. The further challenge is that I also have to crowbar people out of whatever narrative they've already locked on to about history. Even worse, there's no one else's work I can plug into and reference, and say this is just more detail.
Also, I'm super lazy, so who knows if I'll ever get around to moving this mountain. In the meantime, I try to make these little bulletins informative and interesting on their own, while trying to reference the bigger picture under construction. We'll see how it goes.
And thanks for your support! It's appreciated more than you can know.
I would submit that the Palestine situation is also subtle, but what you have to do is take in all the evidence and be alert for those tiny, transient clues to try to figure out what the hell is really going on.
One thing that you never hear about in the mainstream is that Israel is internally fracturing, with widespread political dissent of all stripes, and headed towards civil disorder or even civil war. It's shaking itself apart, as has been predicted by some over the years. So time is working against The Jewish State and for the Palestinians. In the meantime, yes, Palestinians are dying, but in a war of any type (such as that which I believe Trump is very quietly fighting) you simply cannot expect both to save everyone and to prevail.
In the meantime, Trump's the only one interested in actually saving their lives, even more than the Palestinians are. They will never, ever, ever assert their rights and live on their homeland if they all get blown to pieces. They'll be a bunch of brave dead martyrs that history will forget almost immediately. About half the Gazans are dead already and no one knows or cares. Seems a dumb way to go and Trump is the only one offering them a path other than a quick one to Paradise.
As part of the overall picture, the big narrative is "Trump is Zionist shill". That line would seem to be contradicted by stories which quickly evaporate like these:
Netanyahu ‘obviously shocked, embarrassed’ on live TV after Trump announces Iran talks: Reports (4/8/2025)
I mean, anyone can still think Trump is a Zionist shill based on whatever else. but they still need to give their explanation for these and many other things. They never, ever do. Not even aware of such evidence, as far as I've ever seen.
It seems crazy to take as reliable the analysis of anyone who isn't aware of all the significant, relevant evidence. But what I've found is that almost everyone analyzes until they get to the answer they're comfortable with and that becomes the "truth".
Sort of paranormal-adjacent: all the high-profile UFO incidents and famous Ufologists were manufactured, without any doubt whatsoever, IMHO. There is, however, a residue of anomalous events. It's possible that the other stuff was forwarded just to muddy the water and prevent awareness and investigation into whatever it may be that's going on.
I'll take a swing for the fences with a very "out there" take on what's going to happen....
The first thing to notice is that which is not happening (but should). There's been a howling silence around Real ID and this upcoming deadline. It's a huge change but virtually no one is talking about it. That's for all different reasons and we can examine them to find out what that tells us.
The mainstream is silent because "They" are hoping it works this time and they don't want to Streisand it. By "this time", part of that silence is that no one remembers this whole thing literally goes back two decades, to the Real ID Act of 2005.
They've tried this deadline thing over and over and over and it's failed every time because of chaos and ensuing popular pushback. This is just the latest iteration and they don't want to jinx it. What, for example, does CNN have to say about it? Over a year ago and does not even mention Real ID:
Forgot your ID? Here’s how to still get through airport security (CNN 2/28/2024)
Nor can you find any of the brave "patriot podcasters" mentioning it. Search on "alex jones real id" and you'll get nothing other than that he's Bill Hicks. This tells you that they're pretty much all disinfo platforms or too dumb to figure out what's really going on and so are being used as disinfo platforms.
On the political side, Kristi Noem has mentioned it once and Trump has mentioned it zero. So that means they're also "in on it", right? I don't think so.
TSA says 81% of airplane passengers have Real ID, leaving a pretty thick percentage who do not. What happens on May 7th? Planes aren't taking off leaving 1 out of 5 outraged passengers on the ground who want their money back. I'm guessing the whole thing boils over once again.
Here's the big prediction: Trump wants it to boil over once again, and that will be the springboard for a big "America First" pitch on this. Citizens have to have a special fucking driver's license to fly around in their own country while illegal aliens vote in their fucking elections and dead people collect social fucking security? I mean, I know the MSM will say anything, but I don't even know where they begin to defend this.
So if the plan comes together, Real ID finally goes away, voter ID finally goes through, and DOGE gets a further boost in popularity.
PS: For reference, the closest you can get to any real discussion of Real ID is here, but it's just to bash Massie, Trump, and all Republicans:
Republican Warns Real ID Is Being Used to 'Control' Americans (Newsweek 4/14/2025)
EDIT: The last news I saved on the subject was this:
TSA Wants to Delay Full Enforcement of REAL ID Another Two Years (Activist Post 9/16/2024)
So you have to ask yourself why Trump & Co. would want to bring the issue to a head over the objections of the totalitarian motherfuckers at the TSA itself?
What's enlightening to me is that almost none of the "conspiracy theorist" influencers wetting their pants about "Digital ID" have anything at all to say about Real ID, like they've never even heard of it.
What this reveals is that almost all of them are controlled opposition. They were set up to whine about Digital ID and Klaus Schwab and the Federal Reserve--things we all know about--while selling you more important lies and ignoring more immediate infringements and threats such as Real ID, as Ron Paul notes.
Just as the most obvious example, Alex Jones is supposed to be the most American person ever invented. Search on "alex jones real id" and you get no relevant hits. None.
See how that tells you he was indeed invented?
I think part of the chemist's answer was that 99% of the population (or whatever number you want to pick) would never do crack or smack or even acid under any circumstances and so the problems with a lot of drugs are naturally limited.
Cigarettes, though, man it gets ya. I haven't had a smoke in--who know, a decade or two? But the other day I was talking to guy who was obviously a heavy smoker and reeked of it. I thought, "Hmmm... I wonder where they sell cigarettes around here?"... lol
Trump is a closet truther, and has been for a very long time. The problem isn't learning the truth, it's communicating it to the public in such a manner that they will discard what they already "know" and accept the real truth.
What's happening with this and other issues is that Trump is trying to get people to accept him as their "authority" who will tell them the truth. He feeds it out slowly to sway them, slow enough so that the current "authorities" of the media don't want to "Streisand" it.
I asked a chemist who had mentioned he worked with drugs, that if he could erase one from existence, which one would it be?
He instantly said tobacco. Not because of the tobacco itself but because of all the additives they put in it.
I totally agree we're being manipulated by the narratives we're handed, and when you're aware of that it's funny how little it takes to push people around mentally.
A day or two ago (on SCMP, IIRC), I saw a story about the tariffs with a big picture of Xi sitting at a table with some papers. The headline was something about how destructive the tariff war was. I thought, "Okay, finally, I can hear it out of his own mouth and see if there are any finer points to what his position is or more insight into what is going on."
The article literally never even mentioned his name in any context whatsoever!
I couldn't tell you who has claimed to have seen it, since I never followed it closely or was one of those "Titanic-ologist" types. The last time someone claimed they were going down there to check it out was when that "terrible incident" purportedly occurred. I stomped all over it here:
One thing to think about is this, if you've seen Cameron's movie. It opens with a bit of a frame-story, where the old lady survivor is aboard a ship revisiting the wreck site. They send down an ROV which sends up footage of the crusty ship. One object catches her attention, the film "uncrustifies" it, and we're back in time for the tale to begin. Great effect, really.
Cameron dove the wreck and Cameron made the movie. Was that frame footage real or produced by SFX as part of the film? I could not tell you right now whether we were told it was one or the other, but either way it looked hella legit. And that's how easy it is to create "Reality".
To add some context to this "big fight with China", it seems to have been forgotten that China was supposed to become the new headquarters of the "NWO" global empire, just as it had been handed off from Britain to the US.
The program was only recently interrupted but had been going on since Nixon. I'm not familiar with the details, but a huge base of power surely had been built up and entrenched over that time.
Xi--like Trump--finally took control, but that control--like Trump's--is far from absolute. A huge fight is underway there just like it is in the US.
I couldn't possibly describe it in detail, but I get the decided intuition that this "tariff war" with China is actually a battle aimed at degrading and destroying that entrenched power.
One item to examine carefully is one that is not there--but should be. For all the damage it's supposedly doing to his country, Xi personally has nothing to say about any of this. I believe that's because he is well aware of what's going on and why, and perhaps actively cooperating through back channels.
It's been a decades-long journey for Dr. Drew, and he's also a prime example of the "middle" level of conscious. Also note that Drew is highly intelligent and incredibly well-read, so we see that consciousness has nothing to do with intelligence.
It was clear back in the "Loveline" days that Drew was a product of his training. He talked just like any other doctor, and that was exactly why he was on the show. But you could also tell that he read a lot of research for himself, and this led him to say things from time to time that you would not hear anywhere else.
Mid-level consciousness is that which is between NPCs and the fully awake. Probably at most 15% of the population is capable of it, but a far smaller fraction of them have actually developed it to that level.
This is the big problem with mid-level consciousness: humans are incredible at being able to rationalize things to themselves. So people like Drew, Bill Maher, and even Michael Moore and Piers Morgan constantly get torn between the mainstream line and the evidence they see before them. Any of them might say something that you might have said yourself, but that's not something which is true about Joy Reid.
Over the years, Drew has said some shockingly true things out loud in the mainstream, after which his career got its dick kicked in. Remember when he said, "It looks like Hillary is a lot sicker than they're saying"? He was crucified and he backed off. That's the rational choice, in a sense.
So humans of the mid-level highly tend towards "going along to get along" in their self-interest. That generates the fundamental bias of, "Everything is real, just like they tell us in school and on TV and in books."
What's happening here is that Drew has taken the final step. Now, it's not that he has graduated to the next-higher level of consciousness--it doesn't work like that. He has, however, finally adopted the correct bias for the current time: "Everything is fake."
I have found that what actually goes on in the vast majority of people's minds--they way they actually work--is more subtle than that they are duped on various issues.
That is, "duped" implies that there is some information hidden from them, and that if they were made aware of that information, the true situation would become clear. That does not seem to be how it works in almost any situation.
To go back to the original post and incident, the question is how many people, when hearing about it, asked themselves whether it was real or fake? That's basically a rhetorical question and you can come up with any answer that pleases you.
If I was to answer the question and give evidence that even one single person besides myself evaluated it on that basis, I could not produce a single shred. Whether or not anyone agrees that it was fake is not the point, it is whether the question even formed in their mind.
Taking the purported incident in Yemen, I would assume that anyone who had a strong reaction to it also believes that to some extent Trump is a liar. So why didn't they ask themselves whether Trump was lying about this? Because they saw in what was presented to them that which they wanted to see and reacted to it in the way their subconscious dictated. That's how it really works, apparently.
So as I summarize the whole situation, I would characterize it not as people being duped, but as living within a level of consciousness where they create their own reality, rather than always seeking the truth. Of course, seeking the truth means you often find out how wrong you were, and that's the last thing people want.
I have a rule that if someone is reduced to claiming, "It's real!" without immediately supplying supporting evidence. that is the final confirmation necessary that it is, in fact, not real.
I'll now be adding a new rule that if someone is reduced to claiming, "It's a psyop!" without immediately supplying supporting evidence, that is the final confirmation that it is, in fact, not a psyop.
