This should have blown over. Normally the talking heads do their five minutes of fake tears about how tragic anyone's death is (while ignoring all the other death and destruction going on in the country) and then move on to a segment about how a local entrepreneur is opening up an airbnb for rich people's dogs or something.
Instead, they've hyper focused on this, they tried to act like this is the worst thing to have ever happened on 9/11 in America (which is funny as shit), which means people are just confused, and even mad about the media's focus on this, this doesn't need to be in the media for so long, and this doesn't need to result in so much censorship, people aren't allowed to say a horrible person was a horrible person, even the media has failed to hide how shitty Kirk was from the people, and the more they try to censor this, the more blowback they're likely to receive. They were trying to corral the public into the only acceptable opinions on this, but they screwed up massively.
I think after Luigi last year, they are trying to control the narrative around this, after it got away from them last time (turns out even
doesn't really mind when awful people who make the world a worse place are dead), so they've tried to push their narrative on things nonstop, but they really just made people find the whole thing suspicious.
I do think you're right that this is part of their goals to completely shut off any and all information that can challenge the western government's narrative, but they screwed up bigtime, they went too big too fast, and forgot that they are supposed to slowly boil the frog.
Sorry if this is a bit of a rambling response and doesn't make much sense.
Makes great sense, thanks for the comment. I'm enjoying this thread.
I think the miscalculation of how quickly they pushed it will definitely result in more assassinations. They made it relatively easy to reach 9/11 tragedy and infamy.
