I don’t know about you, but I did my level best to avoid anything and everything broadcast by the corporate media yesterday. And for the most part, I was wildly successful. Instead, I spent the day absorbing as much of the 20-hour Grand Theft World anniversary livestream as my brain would tolerate. The funny thing…
After 20 Years, I’ve Forgotten More Than I Can Remember
“History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.” -Alexis de Tocqueville And history is made every day, whether we choose to pay attention to it or not. I often wonder what the generations of the future – if we can manage to keep from completely destroying our species…
Genetic Expertise
Has anyone else noticed how quiet the corporate media has been this week? Not quiet in the sense of lowered volume – that would be something just short of a genuine miracle; but quiet in that they just keep repeating the same tired talking points that long ago had all the life beaten out of…
Black Swans & Baby Blood Clots
It seems that we may be in the transition period of the 6-week news cycle – that time when narratives are malleable, and can be readily swapped in and out of the public’s consciousness. The shadow of the 20th anniversary of 9/11 on the horizon would appear to support this hypothesis. After all, what better…
America’s Communist Holiday 2021
Have you ever wondered how it is that this holiday came into existence in the United States? Maybe it’s just because I’m a supreme weirdo when compared with the ordinary American, but my brain tends to latch onto these sorts of questions. So, if you are like me, take a moment to learn about how…

Hopkins, from the Covidian Cult(Part III) It may sound cliched, but it feels like it has been much longer than a week and…

“All our knowledge begins with senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.” -Immanuel Kant Well, we managed to reason our way through another week chocked full of the insanity du jour. Give yourself a pat on the back if you made it to this side with…

The interesting thing – to me – about doing a regular blog like this is how events can appear so radically different from one day to the next. Even when the subject matter remains the same. It’s been a crazy week already… let’s get to it. Here a Jab, There a Jab, Everywhere a Jabby-Jab…

Greetings and salutations from the belly of the beast; also known as Washington D.C. – for however much longer it stands. Which, judging by the actions of the current regime, is a finite number due to expire soon. For this reason and several others, manufacturingreality.org will be relocating to a new undisclosed location in the…

“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.” -Aldous Huxley Fair warning: there is no clear narrative running through today’s links; other than what regularly stands in opposition to the presentation of the corporate media. With that in mind – let’s…
