Hey guys. I’m some nobody with something to tell. People who need to, know my identity. You could say I’m a governmental asset and that I am trusted with some information that is not common knowledge. You don’t really need any more information to consider. I’m not hiding my identity in order to avoid getting in trouble with anyone. I’m free to share whatever I deem appropriate right here, but again, you really don’t need another unconfirmed source’s claims. What I can offer is a look into the very fabric of the society you live in. And that is basically also what I do for the government on demand. I do analysis. What background I have? None relevant here right now. I’m just good at what I do and have been doing for quite some time. I would say that I’m probably the only one in this game that doesn’t have secrets. At least not of the kind that can’t stand the light of day. Thus, I have nothing to either lose nor gain from this.
This newsletter under the title “20/20 Vision” is an attempt made by the government to establish a trustworthy connection to the public, because we have lots to talk about. We haven’t been sharing things for a long time and we suppose it was easier before smart-phones and streaming services. Back when we all were chained to the concept of linear tv, then a president had the privilege of being listened to whenever he would feel like addressing the nation from the Oval. And even long before that, in a WW2 setting with radio only, President Roosevelt invited the public to join him on some sessions he called “fireside chats”.
So why this attempt just now to reach out? Well, dear fellow Americans, we’re loosing it. There is no institution nor individual left in the entire country who holds enough credibility or authority to be taken into regard with the general public. It has come so far that not even the Commander in Chief has credibility in terms of sharing anything. It’s just impossible to break through this wall of suspicion and paranoia. Remember, the president is also the president for all the people who voted for the other guy. This one may seem a little faint to make it happen for you, but I do believe that he’s an honest, hard working, well meaning guy who does his best in an impossible job. And frankly, I can’t come up with anyone who could significantly change anything on today’s political stage of this nation’s capital. Not giving up on you, we will have some editorial pow-wows and try this approach.
Why can’t I just show my face or sign my newsletter? It’s mainly to keep the focus on the issues at hand and not me, besides, given the work I do these days anonymity is greatly appreciated. One can’t ignore the security risk either. However, I’m sure you will get to know me better in time. Without really saying anything about identity, all the things one do say will necessarily reveal a lot about the senders intent with the message and to a certain extent also how trustworthy the judgment calls made by this source is. I’d say it’s an all over impression-thing that creates a solid gut feeling. Getting people’s undivided attention for long enough to sell an idea with that gut feeling attached to it is just no longer an option. We have lost the ability to think rationally when it comes to a whole lot of things – losing sight of the bigger picture isn’t helpful at all when various ludicrous conspiracy theories suddenly replace common sense. And now it’s really time we had that talk, everybody. We’re about to devour ourselves from within and we need you to understand how we regard this, not only a severe national security issue, but also a very serious public mental health issue. I’ve been chosen to communicate this because I have a tendency to break through when in need to be heard. Diplomacy is the name of the game and this is a white flag waving.
At least hear me out before the labeling begins. I’ll make sure this program gets labeled correctly. I hope “informative” comes to mind.
The first fact we need to establish is just how much out on a limb we really are here. Our great society is de facto broken on multiple levels and not telling the truth from the start is what seems to be the most common cause in so to speak every issue there is to address. So we wind up keeping this bizarre masquerade in order to pretend all’swell. Here’s the new twist: straight from the horses mouth.
The last guy who held office messed up an already dysfunctional scene even more and people seem to approve and adore these qualities doing nothing else than divide and conquer. It was unfortunate that this guy made it acceptable to do whatever it takes to come out on top. It’s unfortunate that this type of personality has any influence at all. I could probably label him, but I’m not going to. Now we’re a handful guys brainstorming constantly on how to get out of this mess. Not blaming the predecessor for all this in any way, I just want to establish for a fact that his breach of protocol, etiquette and lack of decency generally shocked the world on a weekly basis for four devastating years. The legacy left behind is primarily January 6th . So how does one talk about something that deeply upsets half the constituents in the country? It’s not like this administration is gloating and wants to rub salt into their wounds, it is just stating a fact. This was wrong from the start and we should have known. Our people isn’t used to think outside the nation’s borders all that much, but we rely on being taken seriously around the world. The state of our wonderful democracy today is flat out “not present” anymore. We are so divided by this clown that families are torn. We live in two totally different spheres in terms of perception. And nothing can bridge this gap apparently. Not even the Constitution.
What goes on in our minds up here? We’re just afraid you guys are gonna hurt yourselves. On a massive scale. If we could by magic spell disarm this nation, it would have been done some time ago already. And the more paranoid people get, the more important their right to own weapons also become – and believe me, I can relate to that. The threat of someone in uniform trespassing is just as real as a criminal trespassing.
To make it short we have two needs: make people realize they are part of the solution and then there’s how conditions really are and why something unprecedented has to happen if we’re gonna stand any chance of making it as a democratic country and worldwide deliverer of premises. We’re done here if nobody pulls a rabbit out of the hat soon.
And everybody’s looking at a democracy where we no longer expect anything from the politicians running it. We’ve become our own worst enemy and we can’t sell that in a credible way. People are now rising more and more questions about our dollar too. Not difficult to see when all we can do is throw money at the problem to keep it in check while the nation’s debt just continue to rise to new astronomical figures. Doesn’t take a genius to work out that something’s not right about our current path. Bottom line is that we’re bankrupt and it’s impossible to hide. Instead of a total breakdown we do have some preventive measures that we sooner or later will be forced to deploy in order to survive here. These measures directly concern you, the citizens. It stands to reason that we are morally obliged to tell you all you need to know in due time.
The point is that we’re going to need these talks more often for many reasons. This newsletter isn’t shaped by some agenda other than to include you in the process. We’ve been chasing the American dream by any cost for a long time. Here come the consequences. If nothing else it ought to sober people up and keep them awake. We have to be a couple of steps ahead here and I also wanted you to know that we see the problems and taking them on accordingly even if it doesn’t get any coverage. It’s your future. You’re in position to demand something from the press. And the press is in position to do the responsible thing: think society before profit.
20/20 Vision
