All week long I have AVOIDED talking about the 'search' for the Titanic Tourist Sub that, a bit like the US power grid, fiat dollar, and food supply chain, seems to have been designed to fail. Even the now-deceased Head Honcho evidently admitted that (to put it mildly) they cut some corners.
What I saw early on made it pretty clear that when the 'sub' lost contact only a few hours into descent, but wasn't even reported 'missing' for hours more, everybody on board was probably already dead. Turns out that was true, and the catastrophic structural failure and implosion was recorded by the US Navy LONG before any "search" was even initiated.
But there is a News Narrative to push - and to AVOID at all costs. So - enter the Search of the Century!
The Wall Street Journal may have been the first to admit it, but the Zero Hedge summary (not behind a paywall) pretty well nails it:
You might even call it more Hunter-pocrisy.
