This morning a friend asked me why the Durham probe even matters, making the point that the damage is done and most people will never take the time to understand the details anyway.
It's a fair question, and worthy of a mini-thread in response...
Here's my opinion:
It matters because it's the first time we have overwhelming evidence that a sitting president intentionally interfered in the peaceful transition of power.
Not just "theories", actual verified evidence and documentation that have held up in multiple court cases to date.
44 launched an assault on our Republic by weaponizing the near unlimited power of the IC, the corporate media, and launching a literal witch hunt against anyone who questioned the matter.
This was a literal attack not just on 45, but on every single American citizen who voted.
The reason 44 chose this path was not just to punish a political rival, but to cover up even larger crimes against The People, committed not just by him but by previous administrations.
This saga isn't just a one-off, this is a window into the whole rotten machine.
If that's allowed to pass unchecked, without the People raising questions, then we deserve the authoritarian regime we get.
Those people suggesting digging into this is a pointless exercise are in fact accepting that we're merely serfs, and will always be serfs.
I say f that!
This corner of the internet has literally been half a decade ahead of the curve on this issue.
We haven't been wrong in the big picture sense, in fact nearly every revelation has shown more and more that we had this thing called near perfectly way back in the winter of '17.
And that TERRIFIES the elite.
Regular citizens, working together, unraveled a 21st century coup in real time and managed to spread the word to millions more. That's not meaningless or without value, no matter how Durham goes.
We must keep pushing forward, now more than ever.
Discerning truth and amplifying it is dangerous when you're doing so in opposition to the ruling powers. Yet, it must be done. Even at great risk.
And it makes me so proud to see so many small accounts, and some huge accounts, take on that challenge each day.
If citizens aren't willing to do the work to stay informed, especially in the midst of a (dis)information war, then we will never get out from under the boot of the State.
That's why it matters even now. At least, that's my opinion.
