Back on September 14 of 2020, I began a post this way:
Holy Moly, I haven't posted anything in nearly 2 months! This Corona Madness messes with your sense of time (not to mention with your life).
Well now, on the morning of January 11, I see I haven't posted anything since October 19. That goes well beyond a Holy Moly, almost to a Moliest of Molies.
That September posting, by the by, also alludes to a running theme that had increasingly preoccupied me over the course of 2020, and reached a nerve-rattling crescendo with the protracted trauma of the Presidential Election and its surreal, Orwellianly Kafkaesque aftermath -- receiving an added jolt on January 6 -- from which the nation reels and staggers to this day toward an uncertain future. The running theme of which I speak has become clarified in my mind as the ongoing philosophical quest to develop a rational conspiracy theory. More about that (and I've taken various stabs at it here on this blog) anon.
Perhaps the most searingly acute and stunningly concrete representation of that theme involves the interview Mara Zack gave on America Can We Talk, a YouTube channel hosted by Debbie Georgatos, on January 6. That video has been consistently taken down by YouTube -- the latest instance being in the wee hours of last night as I write. I had the video in hand late last night, and this morning when I went to retrieve it, it was gone, even though other videos by Debbie Georgatos are still on her YouTube page, many of them "far right" analyses of the Election etc. If the reader looks at her YouTube page, they will see videos dated Jan. 5 and Jan. 7, but nothing for the 6th. Luckily, a website has preserved the audio of that interview.
The peculiar -- to the point of being eerie -- thing is that nobody, not even Trump supporters, are talking about Maria Zack's astounding claim. I worry about her safety, since I have not heard from her since January 6.
