If the latest reports are true, the pipe bombs planted near the Capitol on January 6th weren’t the work of some MAGA extremist after all.
Turns out, they may have been part of a covert operation carried out and then quietly buried by the Capital Police channeling their inner CIA. It looks like the FBI may have also been in on the coverup.
Color me shocked.
Honestly, at this point, I just always assume it was the alphabet guys.
Because this isn’t new behavior. Not for our own FBI or CIA, and not for any powerful institution convinced that the “greater good” justifies a lie.
Or a murder. Or a kidnapping. Or a war.
In 1962, America’s top military leaders drafted Operation Northwoods—a proposal to stage bombings, hijackings, and even fake deaths on U.S. soil, then blame Cuba to justify a war.
The plan was only stopped because President Kennedy refused to sign off. In fact, he was horrified. Things worked out well for him, huh?
A decade later came MKUltra, the CIA’s mind-control experiment that drugged and psychologically abused unknowing citizens in the name of “science.”
Then there was Operation Mockingbird, a program that paid journalists to spread government propaganda through respected newspapers and television networks. The same people who were supposed to inform the public were secretly working to shape its opinions.
Unbelievably, every time these stories come to light, the majority of the population responds with shock and horror, but then fails to make the larger connection that these types of things are definitely still happening.
They seem to think it’s all stopped now.
But it hasn't. Why would it? It works.
The justifications might have changed; the people or parties involved might be different, but the pattern definitely remains.
That’s why we wrote The Tuttle Twins Guide to True Conspiracies.
We wanted to help kids understand that skepticism of the “official” narrative is a mark of a healthy mind. We wanted them to be able to identify patterns of abuse by government so that they wouldn’t become unwitting victims of the manipulations of the powerful elite.
True Conspiracies explores documented, verifiable, proven-true conspiracies that were once dismissed as “crazy”. It turns out that truth, when you study it, is far stranger than fiction.
It’s also why we created our America’s History books and curriculum: to help families see the broader pattern that runs through every era and every empire. Governments lie, cover, and manipulate—it’s what power does when it stops fearing accountability.
Understanding that pattern is the first step toward breaking free of it.
This week, as we honor Veterans Day, we’re remembering those who fought to preserve our freedoms—and one of the most important of those freedoms is the ability to know the truth.
So we’re making it easier to learn it.
Right now you can get our award-winning America’s History bundle—including books, parent guides, and workbooks—at a discount. They tell America’s story as it really happened, not as the textbooks sanitize it.
You’ll also get a special discount on our Tuttle Twins Academy, where we just launched a new unit on Character. We understand that the next generation doesn’t just need to know history; they need the moral strength to learn from it.

Because Governments will always find ways to distort true history, it’s more important than ever to give our kids the resources they need to see through the lies.
For too many generations, freedom and liberty have been nothing more than propagandized slogans.
I want kids to grow up to be actually free.
We’re still a long way from that being a reality, but the work you’re putting in around your dinner tables and in family discussions are vital in inching us closer to something beautiful.
Thanks for letting us share some resources to support your valiant efforts.
It’s working.
