It’s one of my thousands of favourite Pratchett quotes and, for a change, it is a quote by a baddie, who sincerely believes that the above makes lies more powerful than the truth. He is, of course, eventually proven wrong, much to his astonishment, and justice triumphs.
Is it time for an investigation of an investigation of an investigation? The original investigation led by Robert Mueller into Donald Trump and Russia led to an investigation of that investigation led by special counsel John Durham. Now reporting reveals that Durham’s inquiry was mired with ethical disputes and potential misconduct, and lawmakers are accordingly demanding another layer of investigation, this time into the Durham review itself.
In the days and months following the attacks of 9/11, the government laid the blame for orchestrating the attacks on Osama bin Ladin. Then, after bin Ladin was murdered in his home in Pakistan in 2011, the government decided that the true mastermind of 9/11 was Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.

Last summer, I mocked the EU a bit for setting up a new office in Silicon Valley, and sending an official here to “liaise with Silicon Valley companies affected by EU tech regulation,” noting how it felt weird to have EU internet police setting up shop in Silicon Valley. Given that, I was a bit surprised that the new office invited me to “moderate” a panel discussion last month about the Digital Services Act (DSA), a bill I have regularly criticized and which I think is going to be dangerous for free speech on the internet.
Honored that Eric Zeusse mentioned my ‘blog’ but upset by the censorship of all that are reporting the truth!
My thoughts when someone says censorship is okay because it’s a “private company”. Especially social media when I’ve been researching, for years, about how the government is embedded within their companies.
Surprised that my entry shows up in Google but not Ecosia. Disappointed because I was referring Ecosia as a Google replacement due to Google’s algorithm censorship!
I don’t know if you will pay attention to my letter, because I am just a child living under shelling. Under fire from the weapons that you supply to Ukraine. Do you know what I think about when I wake up? I am glad that the night passed quietly. And I dream about space, and sometimes I write a little about it.
