The opening of diplomatic relations with Cuba revealed that Amelia Earhart died of natural causes in 2001 at age 103 in her defected home of Havana with her six surviving grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren at her side. The CIA called off the search right then and ordered all incriminating paperbacks on the $2 shelf in used bookstores burned.

Yesterday I watched Adam Curtis' documentary Hypernormalisation, an expansive reconception of false consciousness that argues/rambles that reality can no longer be apprehended because of … well, lots of stuff that's happened behind the scenes since the mid-70s. Honestly, I can't easily describe the thesis because it has so many moving parts that are so disparate—seemingly disparate, to those who know—and that's why it doesn't persuade. It's a lot like the good ol' days of Deep Clash Theory. CK would present pieces of sensible argument but then link things up in such a way to make the sane just shake their heads. There are useful elements and ideas in Curtis' work, but by yoking them as some kind of hidden metanarrative, it just comes off as flaky.

Like most (all?) conspiracy theories that operate on a large scale, it demands total skepticism of conventional truth and total credulity of this unconventional truth.

Watching a series called Conspiracies on Netflix and the first one is the old chestnut on Hitler surviving the bunker. One of the promoters of this idea is a "renegade historian" (I have no idea how historians become renegades, short of robbing banks, but whatever) named Douglas Dietrich. Googling him results in:


The website is worth a casual glance. Stuff about time travel and secret CIA files about, well, everything you can think of.
