Johnny Depp
Enemy of the Truth
Description:
The author JM is JAX also was known under the Twitter handles of The Name Is Q and QWERTY. An ardent Johnny Depp advocate who has links with his family and team including Adam Waldman.
However this is a well written article that may or may not have been written on demand that makes a strong point about silence, misinformation, highly selective and obviously biased reporting in the mainstream media.
Enemy of the Truth
by Jax
The Cerberus that is the media rears it’s grotesque heads once again. Over the last 24 hours Johnny Depp took to the stage at the San Sebastián Film Festival to accept his well deserved Donostia award. Through the process he gave a speech and held a press conference, during which he was asked about cancel culture. The media took his answer and was off to the races. Not only did they take the entire situation out of context, they made it appear he had stood up and pontificated on the matter all on his own prompting instead of the fact that he was responding to a question from the pool of press.
This set off a firestorm of articles littered with the usual drivel tying him back to an actress whose name is only mildly relevant because of him. They really do love to play judge, jury, and executioner with people’s lives, not realizing that Johnny Depp’s words yesterday are inherently true. The Kraken of cancel culture could come for any one of them at any time. One sentence, one accusation, a whiff of a bad tweet and it could all be over for them. Yet they insist on perpetuating this nonsense to the masses under the guise of invincibility and piety. The media is to be believed at all costs don’t you know! Only they know the truth of our times! Believe them when they print with reckless abandon that someone is a convicted wife beater, never mind that it was a civil libel case — pesky facts.
They don’t want you to look behind the curtain. As they desperately flail to keep your waning attention the attacks grow more vigorous. It would also be a gross error to say that this is the only case were the media is deceitful. Har har! One barely has to scratch the surface on any number of subjects to discover how erroneous and uncaring for truth they can be. They were only recently forced to write about how dubious and shameful lawyer Roberta Kaplan is due to the complete collapse of the Times Up movement and her associations with multiple known abusers. Even so it was quickly forgotten, don’t let anyone see how badly you got it wrong for too long. On to the next news cycle we go.
The mass media at large is enraged by the availability of facts and documentation to dispute their narratives. They are friends to no one but the almighty dollar. Have no doubt that they will resort to bullying and character assassination to keep their own boat afloat, regardless of how much canon fire it’s taken. From Russian bots to comparisons to the KKK the attempts to stamp out the wildfire of truth know no bounds, and they will only increase as the Depp trial date in Virginia closes in. The ferocity with which they bark back should let everyone know they are on the right path. Much like trolls they live to create outrage and anger. Stand strong and believe in that which you know. This is so much bigger than Johnny Depp and some actress. I think you’re all well aware of that now.
Independent everything is the new way. Independent journalism, independent research, independent films and art. People taking up on their own because the establishment no longer has anyone’s best interests in mind. There is great power in banding together, particularly for the right cause. People have the power and together they can move mountains. Entire ranges in the Depp cases have been shifted because of people willing to collect court documents, distribute information, create access to transcripts and evidence independently of the court system. Social media is a hellscape but it can also be a wonderful and useful tool for distribution and community.
You’ve all become very powerful by choosing to speak up about something. You’ve also now become a threat to a piece of establishment. Embrace it. It’s been a long road but the public perception has changed completely from 2016 and that’s because people spoke. Hold fast to truth.
