If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows not fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fear, to carry on.
General George Patton (1885-1945)
What is being released right now is not transparency.
It is controlled disclosure.
Fragments.
Selective timing.
Curated narratives.
Carefully engineered confusion.
Enough to distract.

“Our problem as Americans is we actually hate history. What we love is nostalgia.’
-- Regie Gibson
“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
–Paul Anleitner
