Wow. I have learned more the past three years than the previous 64 years of my life. According to my numerous academic degrees and honors, I'm among the highly educated. I have only recently realized most of my "education" was itself propaganda. Never too old to learn, but damn, I wish I knew all of this truth decades ago.

Of course, they will "reveal" this one. It makes Republicans look bad.

Always ask: What's in it for the NYT?

The New York Times is still a very good paper...

for lining bird cages.

We probably have not had a Democracy since 1963 and have been under rule by a military-intelligence Mafia that controlled the Republican Party before also controlling the Democratic Party starting with Clinton who worked with the Reagan/Bush administration with Iran Contra

And yes, Trump was controlled also. They owned him after Rothschilds and Wall St bailed him out during his first Casino bankruptcy and protecting him while grooming him over the next 25 years while he provided them intelligence on Russian money launders and local mafia. He was an intelligence asset not a Putin stooge as the MSM tried to portray him , so as to explain his connections with the Russian Mafia and to cover up the fact they were both being backed by intelligence.

"[. . . ] but this story isn’t ancient history, revealing only that that one-term president was cheated of his re-election."

Indeed; and what no one mentions here is that it reveals the utter disregard of the nation's highest office, for the lives and well-being of its own citizens, blatantly exploiting them as pawns in their own political chess game. That is the worst thing about this story, as is the current human suffering and death caused by the covid hoax.

Moved by “conscience” - what a load of you know what - it’s forty years after the fact.

I won’t give them a pass - their willingness to look the other way on the most important issues of the day makes them worse than irrelevant - I’d sooner trust the National Enquirer - if that even still exits.

And they used to say Disney was fantasy but we all knew it wasn’t real...but those same people believed the really huge lies and fake reality our government built around our lives in The United States at least since the 1960s and the charade far surpassed the fantasy of make believe at Disney world. How very very sad. My Sicilian Grandfather always said the church and the government are in it only for the money and never ever believe or trust the government about anything they say or do.. He said its never for the people.

Life is not easy and the world exists on lies. If they taught that in schools we would have a much more awake crowd that never ever would have fallen for the big covid lie.

If they lied before, why is this automatically the truth? I'm not arguing, just wondering.

It was difficult to “like” an article that contains “praise” and “NYT” in proximity, but I have managed it!

The hostage crisis affected me as a child because I was regularly beaten up in school for being Iranian. Explaining that my family came from India made zero difference. Iran, Shmiran, India, Shmindia -- they all begin with I.

I was 11 years old when the helicopters in the rescue mission crashed in the desert, and I still remember thinking that it must have been sabotage by the Reagan side. I wonder when that conspiracy theory will be confirmed?

P.S. Does paying off foreign governments to retain US citizens as hostages rise to the constitutional standard for treason?

Another of your Substack posts where as Mister Rogers used to say, "You learn something old everyday." Wow.

Dont forget that when the King family won a civil suit, proving that the government was involved in the death of Dr. King, the gray lady published the paradigm shifting verdict on page 9, in a tiny little box in the corner. :)

Pregnant with anticipation, we shall await the NYT front page declaring that the rona was indeed a psyop, a scam, directed by the DOD etc...... in approximately the year 2053. I cannot wait!

Reagan was overrated IMHO. Still pissed off at him allowing my Social Security to be taxable. He was a great host for “Death Valley Days” but just another of many schmuck Presidents.

There have been various ways for The Controllers of the World to select who gets the Red and Blue party nominations for president. And then the Controllers find ways to choose who wins between those two candidates practically each and every time. Just study the circumstances of every presidential election since 1964. The manipulations are getting progressively more blatant.

I still remember feeling in a twilight zone, similar to Sept. 11, when I heard the hostages were released the same day Reagan was inaugurated, and the media and acquaintances were all crediting Reagan's mere innate strength as the reason it happened that VERY SAME day! I'm sure he was a better actor than W. He played his part right on center stage; W had to be sent off to an elementary classroom in Florida and be "shocked" (while inadvertently saying he saw the FIRST plane hit while watching TV).
