Somewhere in the wilds of liberal la-la land, we have a new convert to the book of blindingly obvious revelations. Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks reportedly stumbled out of his ideological slumber after a mere 25 years to declare the 9/11 official story questionable. Better late than never, right? It’s as if one day, like a bearded oracle interrupting his catnap, he proclaimed to his eager apostles, “Hey, maybe the government isn’t squeaky clean!” One can only imagine the earth-shattering epiphany that must have struck him like a lightning bolt—finally connecting the dots between decades of government duplicity and the sudden deep dive into the murky abyss known as the Epstein rabbit hole.
In his newfound clarity, Cenk opines that the government may not have our best interests at heart. Stop the presses! This just in: water is wet, the sky is blue, and politicians lie. One can almost hear the collective gasp of surprise from his audience who must now grapple with the notion that maybe the mainstream media hasn’t been an infallible source of truth. Thank goodness we have brave souls like Cenk to guide us through these tangled webs of deceit. It boggles the mind to think that it took him until 2023 to stumble upon what so many have known for years—the government can be as tricky as a magician at a kid’s birthday party, only without the funny hats and balloon animals.
Cenk seems to be climbing enthusiastically onto the bandwagon of historical skepticism, pointing out how past events like Operation Northwoods and the Gulf of Tonkin Incident should have been red flags. These revelations, he argues, should teach us to cast a skeptical eye on what our government feeds us, especially when it involves stories as wild as weapons of mass destruction, which somehow still haven’t turned up anywhere, not even under the Oval Office couch cushions. It’s almost quaint, really, to witness this awakening as if Cenk just realized his favorite bedtime story about Uncle Sam might have a few plot holes.
Meanwhile, there’s a wealth of juicy historical nuggets from as far back as 1954, stories like the Lavon Affair—glossed over by those ever-distracted mainstream media outlets. These historical snafus highlight the lengths governments will go to for geopolitical chicanery. Yet, proclaiming this in today’s trigger-sensitive climate earns you not a nod of understanding, but a scornful label of “conspiracy theorist.” After all, pointing out inconvenient truths and historical facts has become an art form best left to the daring or perhaps the foolishly naïve. Either way, welcome to the party, Cenk.
In the end, it appears Cenk is determined to school his “normie” friends still dazzled by the media’s glossy facade. Maybe he’ll convince a few that poking holes in official narratives isn’t just the sport of wacky conspiracy theorists with aluminum foil hats. But beware, Cenk. Venturing too far down this path might lead you to question other taboo topics. You know, like why the Texas two-step is a dance routine only the two-party system seems to know or why Lindsey Graham is periodically sighted praising military strategies with the zeal of a kid in a candy store on a field trip to Israel. In any case, welcome to reality, Cenk. The air is clear here, albeit occasionally spiced with the rich aroma of political absurdity.
