Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This is an AI-generated political cartoon. It was not paid for with US taxpayer money like Trump's new image-campaign ads. Time: Trump's Taxpayer-Funded Ads Draw Bipartisan Criticism time.com/article/2026... 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026"Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins." — Ben Franklin, On Freedom of Soeech and the Press, The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1737 books.google.com/books?id=qXQ... 010
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The AI version of Stephen Miller really hates my book. The Great Pretense includes many whistelblower media leaks not in the interest of Trump's political agenda. So, the AI Miller channels the real Stephen Miller in this AI-generated reel. Humor in the Trump era requires out-clowning the clowns. 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It's not a surprise that the press is now accused by Trump of threatening national security. But recall Trump himself stole classified info. National security leaks have long been tools of government propaganda. Our national security isn't the same as Trump's political interests. He conflates them. 100
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 16/09/2026More AI tomfoolery. It's a trial offer I've already cancelled before it renews at a gouging-level price. I don't think the AI subscription model is ready for prime time. AI still has diction woes. Maybe it can hack its way to pronunciation? 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The book is still out there to read.... Having some fun with technology, too. TheGreatPretense.org 100
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 02/09/2026If Trump MAGA cultist build a bigger wall to suppress the vote, the voters will simply bring a bigger ladder. And then they'll tear down the wall -— and Humpty Trympies will have a great fall. 021

Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 25/07/2026From a podcast I did yesterday. The full show can be found at this link below. The ads do suck, but the show covers a lot of ground. rumble.com/v7d6hzi-the-... 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Trump's Iran carnage is turning blood into money for some in his billionaire's club. That should be part of the media narrative too. Chase analysis: With the conflict in the Middle East, energy is the top-performing sector in the S&P 500 so far this year, supported by elevated energy prices. 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Do you tire of the BS pushed by the pro-corruption (thereby anti-free market), fork-tongued, race-profiling, war-profiting, testosterone-obsessed predator politicians running or serving that agenda? The world has many chronic woes not in the media spotlight. Because we're being distracted by the BS. 010
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 13/07/2026For when Trump claims China hacked US elections. Trump Taj Mahal’s VP of marketing (1990 to 1993) was allegedly, per Senate hearings, “an associate of the 14K Triad,” a Hong Kong-based criminal group trading in murder, money laundering..narco-trafficking. babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc... 112
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 21/05/2026The MAGA GOP once again appears to be undermining Democratic primaries with a game of shell companies, dark money and misdirection, based on an FEC complaint. The goal: funnel money to loser Dem. candidates. Gerrymander openly; ratfuck clandestinely. Complaint: www.keepandshare.com/doc25/117654... 100
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 03/05/2026He's way underwater in every category measured. Who does this dude represent? It certainly isn't the vast majority of Americans. That isn't democracy. It's the few oppressing the many. We can reverse that corrupt usurpation of power in November. By taking back our country at the polls.. From WaPo 011
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 26/04/2026The CIA operating covertly as part of the Chihuahua state police is history repeated. Evo Morales kicked DEA out of Bolivia in 2008, claiming the US used the drug war to manipulate and overthrow governments. He was right but the real culprit is CIA, not DEA. Read all about it: TheGreatPretense.org 100
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 26/04/2026This is a great satire piece. Because that's my biggest question, too. How does a black man armed to the teeth charging through a hotel filled with cops and Secret Service agents and intent on harming Trump and his liquor cabinet, emerge still alive, unscathed. That just doesn't happen in America. 063
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Now, for those who doubt the CIA violated Mexican sovereignty by embedding agents inside state police in Chihuahua, absent the knowledge of that nation's federal government or president, well some history is in order. TheGreatPretense.org 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 23/04/2026The news of 2 CIA employees dying in Mexico is sending a lightening bolt through the Mexican body politic. But CIA has long operated in Latin America, including Mexico. Its specialty: regime change, often under the pretense of the drug war. From my new book, found here: TheGreatPretense.org 120
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 23/04/2026The LA Times pulls back more of the curtain on recent CIA ops in Chihuahua, Mexico, and the death of 2 CIA employees that exposed the agency's covert ops in the Mexican state here: x.com/stevelfisher...

Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 08/04/2026What Trump did to the world tonight wasn't a negotiating tactic. It isn't even protected by our own 1st Amendment — shouting fire in a crowded theater. But it is how I imagine Al Capone acting after the syphilis began eating at his brain. 010
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 06/04/2026The focus now is on Iran. That's understandable. But the capture/rendition of Venezuelan President Maduro did not end the crisis in that nation, despite Trump's bluster and rhetoric.

Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 29/03/2026No Kings Seattle. The march ended and a festival broke out! This is at City Center. It was a coincidence of planning. Separate events but synchronicity. It's Holi today, a Hindu celebration of love and colors. 944994

Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Cuba will soon be destabilized, absent a helping hand. Will we send in troops to speed regime change, to cut a puppet-government deal that will spark blowback, or let the embargo starve the island into chaos. Cuba is another canary in the coal mine gasping for air. AP Breaking 010
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 13/03/2026The first stage of a land operation. Staging more Marines. The Strait of Hormuz is now a U.S. straightjacket preventing an easy way out. WSJ this morning. 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 07/03/2026"The Great Pretense isn’t just a history of failed policy; it’s a cautionary tale about power, secrecy, and the limits of intervention. It challenges readers to rethink everything they’ve been told about drug wars, national security, and the institutions we trust to protect us." 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 06/03/2026The war with Iran threatens to kill the geese that lay Trump's golden eggs. I wonder how these regimes view Trump's demand for unconditional surrender by Iran and the prospects of extending the hellscape forecast for the Mideast. 011
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Staying true to form, Trump clutches new low. He didn't even put proper lipstick on this pig. 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Cherry blossoms were out today. Spring is around the corner. 000
Bill Conroy @bconroy.bsky.social · 25/02/2026My takeaway from the State of the Union: Crime and trauma porn washed over by a firehose of lies. And cheered on by despicable people applauding their own hypocrisy. That's the way it is. But doesn't have to be. 020
