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.

Emotions are high all across the board - justifiably so.
But there's something I keep coming back to.
45 had the chance (and I'd argue duty) to unleash the full force of the legal system against his political opponents - who were ACTUALLY guilty of an attempted palace coup...
But 45 didn't take that road because he feared it would open a can of worms, spawning an endless partisan back-and-forth in the courts that would ultimately undermine the People's faith in the American system of justice.
This was despite overwhelming evidence...
proving that members of the outgoing administration, IC, DOJ, and Congress were guilty of actual crimes - some as serious as treason and sedition.
The evidence in the public record, let alone behind walls of classification, was/is enough to bury a generation of bad actors...
This indictment is a GPS signal for where we are as a republic. We've slipped into a world where norms no longer apply. A world where the aura of our institutions have not just faded, but have been destroyed - no matter what your partisan viewpoint is.
We might be watching the death knell of the American experiment - the public arrest of political opponents to the cheering adulation of half the country and the teeth-gnashing of the other half.
This has been the plan. It's been building and building and building.
They (the establishment - which is bipartisan and international) has advertised their desire for this plan for 20+ years while most just shrugged it off. Ignored it as "conspiracy theory" when the evidence for its truth has always been clear if one were willing to look.
A Putin victory in Ukraine is NOT the biggest risk of all to humanity - to the myopic leaders in the west who want to dominate every facet of geopolitics it may be, but it's not to the rest of us.
A nuclear exchange between the west and Russia is the biggest threat. No question.
The true aim of the west is not removing Russia from Ukraine, but removing Putin from power in Moscow.
There's a GIANT difference between those two aims. The former is laudable, the latter is hubris born from the same minds that brought us 20+ years of endless regime change wars
Executing a regime change operation in Moscow has been the agenda of the Neocon/Neoliberal class in the west since at least 2014.
See HRC's campaign which wanted No-Fly-Zones in Syria, which could have only been accomplished by having US pilots bombing Russian manned AA sites.
It’s just conspiracy to suggest an element of our establishment is deeply involved in the trafficking and exploration of vulnerable humans for profit and pleasure.
Still think the discussion about a shadow WW3 is just "conspiracy" talk?
Take a step back and look at the decline of the unipolar world in just the past 10 years.
Then look at just the past 5.
Then look at just the past 3.
When you do, things become more clear:
1/10
The decay of the unipolar world order is speeding up, not slowing down. We've had an engineered plague unleashed on the world, which then justified changing election laws to get the unipolarists back in control. The "people" welcomed this, expecting a return to "normal"...
2/10
... Instead they got a brand new endless war, trillions in wealth removed from the economy, food shortages, a gas crisis, all the while the powers in charge attempt to divide us more and more. To get us to fight one another rather than them.
These are the same people who pushed lie after lie after lie - on everything from Epstein, to Ukraine, to Russia and the election. The one commonality between each instance? They knew they were lying when they lied, and proceeded to do so anyway...
... And the media happily went along with each and every one because it serves their agenda which is not truth. Not justice. And most assuredly not the American Way.
2/4
They are enemies of all that the republic is supposed to stand for. So of course they're holding show trials with fabricated or outright falsified evidence...
