Slipping Back Into The Night

You know, if the detective didn't walk down a long dark alley, it wouldn't be that kind of a story, would it. (Why don't you go to the bottom of this piece and play the music video... It'll help). 

It is however exactly that kind of story.

Shadowy figure, dark alleyway, night-time

You must have noticed how suddenly now everyone in the media is an expert on Russia, spying, 'Deep State,' even human psychology!

Amazing, isn't it.

Anyway it's time to place all these toys back into their box now for a little while. In my view anything you see or hear in the wider media about whatever went on, or is going on, so-called behind the scenes, is uninformed right from the get-go. And that includes, I'm afraid, Alex Jones to some extent as of the moment. 

You don't need to be hearing from people after the event - you want to hear about stuff before it happens. Which is not to say AJ doesn't have a fair record of getting some things right ahead of the curve. But he is committed to having to produce a show every day, more or less. Russian spies, Russian spies. Palace intrigue. Bohemian Grove, crazy rich people.

Don't get me wrong, he's a good journalist no matter what you think of his style. He lets all the balloons float but then he also checks facts too.

But hell why is the media the story? We all know the reason there - the lights go on, the cameras have their little pilot lights go blip-blip and the guy up there in front can't help his ego get in the way of it all. God knows, I probably would be the worst.

Why do we have to have earth-shaking things to talk about all the time in any case? You'll become hyperactive and over-anxious if that were the position all the time.

Time to take a deep breath. 

'Did you get it?'
Or, in proper English: 'Did yoh ge i'?'

You know if you read very very carefully between the lines from here on in, you'll 'get it...'

Spies? Russians? Don't know; wouldn't know anything about that kind of thing. Leaks? Wouldn't know anything about that. Way too sophisticated for me. That's what we have the FBI for, to go after the leakers. To find suspects and then fuck them up good.

Alleged leakers anyway, because we have this 'innocent until proven guilty' thing here. It's part of our values, of our system. 

Now don't bring 'morality' into it, will you?!

Just watch the fireworks and enjoy the ride. 

But you do know, don't you - I have never cried wolf, not even the one single time.

You're gonna watch the 'leaker' burn and fry. Sorry, alleged leaker.

Poor bastard, never leaked anything at all.  (For female, it's also 'bastard').

You got that, didn't you? Like any investment, there are FOUR ways to hold a position: the right to buy, and the right to sell, the obligation to buy, and the obligation to sell. Four, ways.

Flynn was one side of an intercepted conversation. And he was identified by the media.

Got it now?
