It's a mess created by mendacity, incompetence & almost every major nation being a double or even treble agent.

As I'm supposed to be erudite & well informed (yet utterly confused) one wonders how TF the ordinary citizen makes any sense of it at all.

Very well laid out John, as always

There is a Judo move possible with this call for Amnesty. Indeed a very powerful one which in my opinion would bring truth into the spotlight.

A Covid-19 Truth and Reconciliation Commission. As most will recall the (TRC) was a court-like restorative justice body assembled in South Africa in 1996 after the end of apartheid. Authorised by Nelson Mandela and chaired by Desmond Tutu, the commission invited witnesses who were identified as victims of gross human rights violations to give statements about their experiences, and selected some for public hearings. Perpetrators of violence could also give testimony and request amnesty from both civil and criminal prosecution.
