Good morning everyone — hope the week is going well. Today’s deep dive is going to touch on some of the blatant hypocrisy we are seeing in the US right now and how that factors into the coming Presidential election and current social issues that seem to be growing in size and scale across the country.

Most of us tend to get caught up in partisan politics whenever issues like Israel Hamas, the War in Ukraine, crime in the US, presidential elections, and other issues get brought up. It’s human nature and it’s tribal — we want to identify with our in group and be against the out group.
But if you’ve read Arb Letter for some time now you’ve probably picked up on the fact that while I lean to the right — I’m not all entirely caught up in blue vs. red or even the minutia of political candidates at all. Why?
Because at this point it doesn’t really matter.
The trend worth examining more closely to me — is the how the government is interacting with all people — who they choose to endorse, support, and the policies that they implement (along with the crises they create and manipulate).
Covid 19, the gross lack of accountability and enforcement in regards to rampant crime, the endless wars they involve us in, the taxpayer money that is wasted, the sell outs who choose to work with our enemies globally, the hijacking of the education system, the censorship of true facts and data, the blatant disregard for the well being of our citizens, and the corruption within the federal branches of government are far more interesting and important to examine and hold opinions on.
All of these things end up adversely effecting all of us as Americans — and those who live in countries we have close ties to.
Some days feel like I’m in the Truman Show.
We’re so far from normal at this point it gets exhausting to talk about.
Millions and millions of people still see no issue — they’d rather argue about partisan political talking points than address the elephants in the room — in part because if the public ever did focus all of it’s attention and energy on these blatant and sinister abuses of power — they’d be gone.
Need current examples (from this week) of what I am talking about? Have at it:
U.S. Rep. George Santos (R-NY) used campaign funds to pay for an OnlyFans, Botox and Sephora, among other things, according to a new Ethics report
The US Defense Department, which has $3.8 trillion in assets, has failed for the sixth consecutive year to score a clean financial audit
A new TikTok trend celebrates Osama Bin Laden and posits that 9/11 was justified as an act of resistance, as his notes "Letter to America" and “To the American People” are spreading
Bay Bridge blocked by Pro-ceasefire protesters in Bay Area amid Biden's visit to San Francisco (50 protesters abandoned cars, threw keys into the Bay before chaining themselves together)
“Judge Amy Totenberg of Georgia has issued a decision concurring there is sufficient reason to believe that the electronic voting machines used by the State of Georgia have substantial flaws.”
You probably remember us talking about the secret biolab in California (ironic we hosted Xi there yeah?), that was owned by a Chinese entity, containing numerous vials of biological substances, some labeled “HIV,” along with a freezer marked “Ebola.” According to the report, local officials invested months in persistent attempts to secure assistance from the CDC, but the agency consistently declined to engage in dialogue with them. WION News reported that local officials claimed the CDC even terminated conversations by hanging up on them.Congressional investigators, which included the FBI, reported that officials faced similar difficulties in seeking assistance from other federal agencies. The FBI informed local officials that it had concluded its investigation, stating the belief that there were no weapons of mass destruction on the property (Insider Paper)
No charges are expected in the Special Counsel probe investigating Biden's handling of classified information
Why any of these things are considered acceptable by the American people is beyond me. We’ve strayed from a democracy in which the government represents the people to one in which the government enriches themselves, sells out to foreign interests, dodges any shred of accountability, and solidifies it’s monopoly on violence, surveillance, and power.
I’m already starting to see arguments and division grow online in conversation over these topics as well as debate primarily about left vs. right or red vs. blue. You owe it to yourself — regardless of how you intend to vote — to be up to date on all of the most recent information and updates that impact you directly as a citizen in the US or a Western country. Without this information — you’re ignorant. Without it you are just one of the millions who choose to live in ignorance and perpetuate the problems that are worsening with each day.
More importantly — you jeopardize your livelihood, financial security, mental peace, and even physical safety to some degree by not being versed on the situation in your country.
We’e never been at a more critical juncture in this nation’s history — the division and capacity for conflict has never been higher.
Understanding what’s going on is going to impact your life in the coming 12 months and beyond — what we are watching could be none other than the intentional destruction of this country from within. It seems like an aggressive statement but once you take a look at the topics we cover today — there can really be no other conclusion.
