*Originally published on grandtheftworld.com The end of the year is traditionally a time reserved for reflection. A time where we can look back upon the events of the previous twelve months, and try to glean at least a bit of wisdom from those events with the benefit of hindsight. That’s how I remember this time…

The Decade of Grand Theft World
*Originally published to grandtheftworld.com December 20, 2021 “We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.”…
Greetings From Punxsutawney
Does it feel like a scene from the movie Groundhog Day to you yet? You remember that movie, right? Maybe you have even seen it recently. Bill Murray – hands down one of the greatest entertainers of any generation – plays a cynical weatherman from a local Pittsburgh station sent to cover the obligatory annual…
End Of The Road?
This is quite possibly the most difficult blog post I have had to write to date. Maybe that is as it should be. When I started this website almost a year ago, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. I had never built a website before. I had never had any of my…
Burning Down The House
Welcome back, fearless readers! It has been an extraordinary couple of days in Covidland, hasn’t it? The homeland of Adolf Hitler is repeating the mistakes of its most famous son.

For everyone that might have missed the previous announcements, you now have the ability show your love for Manufacturing Reality Media and the work that we do with a monthly or annual membership over…
Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Now that the Rittenhouse trial has entered the jury deliberation portion of the proceedings, I imagine we are all supposed to be cowering in fear of the civil unrest the corporate media has been desperately attempting to program into our collective subconscious. As I have stated previously, I haven’t been glued to the screen –…
Why We Fail
Isn’t it interesting how opinions on a subject can shift based upon very small amounts of information? While I’m not specifically trying to highlight what has become the most watched trial in the United States since the O.J. circus of the 90s, this case in Kenosha has illuminated the glaring bias of the corporate media…
Games Predators Play
Some days are definitely easier than others when it comes to constructing a narrative that runs counter to what is being produced by the corporate media. There are days when little effort is needed to connect the various data points, and the story seems to magically write itself. There are other days where nothing wants…
Focus On The Good Things
I want to start today’s post by taking a moment to thank everyone who showed up to last night’s Grand Theft World Town Hall, even though I imagine many of the participants are probably not going to read this. It was the largest group that I can remember being a part of since I started…
