This four-part piece was sparked by James Corbett’s May 2024 video about the 1994 Rwandan genocide, with the eye-catching and provocative title: The Rwandan Genocide Is A Lie. If, like me, you thought there was something not quite right about the Standard Official Narrative, but you hadn’t delved any deeper, that video report is revelatory. Once I dug deeper into the story, I was both fascinated and taken aback by the sheer scale of the gaping holes in the official narrative of one of the most shocking events of the late 20
Fascinating. This is a subject I know next to nothing about. Thanks for doing all this research and pulling it together. I have that sinking feeling regarding the USA and UK's roles in it all...
Thanks for the history lesson! Compelling yarn so far ... if it's not too insensitive to characterize such a troubled history. Looking forward to Part II.
A tangential observation, if I may...
“I got a strong sense that the author really doesn’t know how the sausage is made, and doesn’t want to either.” — While this applies to people in general, in relation to geopolitics in general — or what might be called the external — it also applies in the literal internal sense, to the majority of humans; to wit, how people agreed to absorb hyper-novel uber-deleterious injections ... injections about whose content they were largely willfully incurious. Amazing!
I myself did wonder whether it was ok to describe the story as "fascinating" but then, let's face it, the dark side of human affairs is nearly always more fascinating than the light.
And just as fascinating is the naivete you've described - the inexhaustible capacity of humans to go into things with eyes wide shut.

At the risk of giving too much away, I'm afraid your sinking feelings are well-founded. But I think we're all used to that now, aren't we?!
Yes. It's more of a resigned, eye-rolling, nauseous sinking feeling than a surprised one...

I couldn't agree more ... on both points.
