\n\n \n\n\n

Last night the news broke that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer, which has already metastasized to his bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversation has gone in two predictable directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand you have the predictable\u00a0\u201cout pouring of support\u201d<\/a>\u00a0from fans of Team Blue, \u201cliberal\u201d journalists and celebrities.<\/p>

<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand you have cynical commentary from Team Red, questioning the timing of the announcement and wondering how someone with such a high profile and (presumably) first class medical care could have cancer missed until such a late stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third, quieter, option is to suggest a connection between this cancer and the Covid \u201cvaccine\u201d. (A possibility I reject out of hand, becasue I don\u2019t believe there is any chance at all he was really given the experimental shot.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But all of these conversations miss the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question is not\u00a0\u201cwhat caused Biden\u2019s cancer?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0\u201cwhy did they cover up Biden\u2019s cancer?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0\u201cwhy are they telling us Biden has cancer?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, the same media reporting\u00a0\u201cBiden has cancer\u201d<\/em>\u00a0spent months reporting\u00a0\u201cBiden doesn\u2019t have dementia\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cBiden\u2019s as sharp as ever\u201d<\/em>, despite plain evidence to the contrary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They lied. Over and and over again, for years. They quite literally told you to disregard the evidence of your eyes and ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until they stopped, and suddenly Joe Biden\u2019s \u201cmental decline\u201d was no longer a conspiracy theory, but totally real and the reason to put Kamala Harris on the ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden\u2019s mental acuity did not change, all that changed was the requirement of the narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media reportage has no correlation with the truth. Not\u00a0negative<\/em>\u00a0correlation,\u00a0no<\/em>\u00a0correlation. They are unrelated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Joe Biden\u00a0had<\/em>\u00a0cancer, and it was narratively convenient that he did\u00a0not<\/em>, they would say he did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Joe Biden\u00a0didn\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0have cancer, and it was narratively convenient that he\u00a0did<\/em>, they would say he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it becomes narratively convenient that Biden\u00a0no longer has cancer<\/em>, they will just say it went away \u2013 and that will have no bearing or relation on whether or not it did go away, or ever existed in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Joe Biden died tomorrow, and it was narratively convenient he was alive, they would pretend he was alive. And with current video and photo editing software it wouldn\u2019t even be that hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news cycle has a purpose that is not related to facts or truth \u2013 again, not\u00a0\u201copposed to\u201d<\/em>\u00a0but\u00a0\u201cnot related\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 and as such our conversations about \u201cthe news\u201d must be had, almost entirely, on the meta level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this? Why now?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really feel like I have said this a lot.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\r\n
