“And many another proof can I adduce
To scrape up credit for my arguments.
But to a mind keen-scented these small traces
Suffice: from them you’ll grasp the rest yourself.
As mountain-ranging hounds find by their scent
The lair of beast in leafy covert hid
Once they have got some traces of its track,
So one thing after another you by yourself
Will find that you can see, in these researches,
And penetrate all unseen hiding places
And draw the truth from them.”
From “On the Nature of the Universe”, by Lucretius, 94 B.C. to 53 B.C.
THE DATA
From 1973 to 2023, the Oklahoma state record redear sunfish increased in size by 13%, from 2 pounds, 1.25 ounces to 2 pounds, 5.6 ounces.
USA Today’s Pete Thomas omitted the percentage, saying only that the new record “shattered” the old.
From 1973 to 2023, the redear sunfish is absent from the record in Oklahoma.
In 1973, or soon after, the redear sunfish disappeared from the environment in Oklahoma, as the health of the ether decreased to a point where the species could no longer manifest within it.
It would remain absent for almost fifty years, until it suddenly winked back into existence there in 2023, when the ether improved in health to the point where the species could once again manifest within it.
From 1995 to 2023, the Kansas state record redear sunfish increased in size by 2%, from 1.69 pounds to 1.725 pounds.
From 1995 to 2023, the redear sunfish is absent from the record in Kansas.
In 1995, or soon after, the redear sunfish disappeared from the environment in Kansas, as the health of the ether decreased to a point where the species could no longer manifest within it.
It would remain absent for almost thirty years, until it winked back into existence there in 2023, when the ether improved in health to the point where the species could once again manifest within it.
From 1996 to 2022, the Missouri state record redear sunfish increased in size by 466%, or by over five times, from 6 ounces to 2.2 pounds.
From 1996 to 2017, the Missouri state record redear sunfish increased in size by 183%, or nearly tipled, from 6 ounces to 1 pound, 1 ounce.
The uncredited Intelligence operative from the Missouri Department of Conservation omitted the hyper-exponential increase between the old record and the new, and replace it with the terse, general “broke the previous state record”.
That’s an example of the propaganda techniques known as “compartmentalization” and “stonewalling”.
From 1996 to 2017, the redear sunfish is absent from the record in Missouri.
In 1996, or soon after, the redear sunfish disappeared from the environment in Missouri, as the health of the ether decreased to a point where the species could no longer manifest within it.
It would remain absent for over twenty years, until it suddenly winked back into existence there in 2017, when the ether improved in health to the point where the species could once again manifest within it.
In 2002, the San Vicente record and San Diego County record redear sunfish weighed 3.7 pounds.
From 2002 to 2023, the San Vicente Reservoir and San Diego County record redear sunfish increased in size by 12.2%, from 3.7 pounds to 4.15 pounds.
From 2011 to 2017, the Lake Murray record redear sunfish increased in size by 76%, or close to doubled in size, from 2.355 pounds to 4.15 pounds.

That’s an example of the propaganda techniques known as “compartmentalization” and “stonewalling”.
In 2017, after an absence of over twenty years, the redear sunfish winked back into existence in Missouri, at a 1.1-pound weight almost three times greater than the .6 pounds at which it had previously manifested.
From 2019 to 2023, the Missouri state record redear sunfish increased in size by 21.4%, from 1 pound, 12 ounces to 2 pounds, 2 ounces.
From 2019 to 2021, the Missouri state record redear sunfish increased in size by 17.9%, from 1 pound, 12 ounces to 2 pounds, 1 ounce.

Kansascity.com’s Kaitlin Alanis omitted the date of and weight of the previous record, along with the margin between them, saying rather “beating out the previous record fish by 1 ounce”.
As a bonus, she also walked “redear sunfish” back to merely “fish”.
In 2023, the redear sunfish winked back into existence simultaneously in Kansas and Oklahoma.
In 2023, after an absence of fifty years, the redear sunfish winked back into existence in Oklahoma, as the ether improved in health to a point where the species could once again manifest in that geography.

THE ARTICLES
THE OKLAHOMA STATE RECORD REDEAR SUNFISH
On April 8, 2023, usatoday.com said “Oklahoma teen lands massive sunfish, breaks 50-year-old record.”
Where author Pete Thomas gymnastically cut up the plainspoken “Oklahoma State Record”, and then went on to omit the word “state” from “state record”, to make the subject far less searchable.
As a bonus, he redacted the word “redear” from the name of the species for the same reason.
Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
For the record, it’s the Oklahoma state record redear sunfish.
While the word "lands” supports the false meme that far larger redear sunfish had been out there in Oklahoma all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill and assiduousness previously.
The article goes on to say "Oklahomans who aspire to catch a record-size sunfish might want to visit their nearest farm pond.
Cord Smith, a 16-year-old from Cheyenne, is the new record holder after reeling a 2-pound, 5.6-ounce sunfish on from a one-acre pond in Roger Mills County.
His April 10 catch shatters the previous state record, 2 pounds, 1.25 ounces, established at a different farm pond in 1973."
Where “catch”, “reeling” and “catch” all reinforce the false meme that far larger redear sunfish had been out there in Oklahoma all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill and assiduousness previously.
As a propagandist, Pete also took special care not to provide the margin between the records.
That’s another example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
So, I had to do the math.

THE KANSAS STATE RECORD REDEAR SUNFISH
On January 4, 2024, ksnt.com said “Kansas man breaks nearly 30-year-old state fishing record with trophy catch”.
Where author Matthew Self gymnastically cut up the plainspoken “Kansas State Record”, to make the subject far less searchable, and then, for good measure, omitted the name of the species for the same reason.
Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
For the record, it’s the redear sunfish.
While the word “catch” supports the false meme that far-larger redear sunfish had been out there in Kansas all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill and assiduousness previously.
The article goes on to say “Cavender’s fish weighs in at 1.725 pounds and measured 12 inches in girth and 12.125 inches in length. He landed it using a rod and reel with a worm for bait while out fishing at Cheyenne Bottoms Sportsman’s Club in Great Bend.”
Where “landed” and “fishing” supports the false meme that far-larger redear sunfish had been out there in Kansas all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill and assiduousness previously.
The article goes on to say “The previous record-holder, Larry Fox of Scott City, caught a 1.69 pound redear from Finney Wildlife Area that measured 11.75 inches in length in 1995, according to the KDWP.”
As a propagandist, Matthew took special care not to provide the margin between the records.
That’s another example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

SAN VICENTE RESERVOIR, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA RECORD REDEAR SUNFISH, 2023
On May 5, 2023, sandiegofishreports.com said “New Lake Record Redear!”
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, the uncredited author from San Diego Fish Reports redacted “San Vicente Reservoir” to “Lake”, omitted “San Diego” and “California”, and then truncated “redear sunfish” to merely “redear”, with an exclamation point thrown in to distract the rubes from the sleight-of-hand.
Those are all examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.
The article goes on to say “Big news this week is a new lake record Redear! Larry Lauman of La Jolla, landed a 4.2lb. giant on a nightcrawler from his kayak, on Mothers Day.”
The uncredited Intelligence operative from San Diego Fish Reports blacked out any information on the previous record.
That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
On March 28, 2017, wayneswords.net said "Teresa Gardner of Spring Valley entered the record books on Monday with the largest redear sunfish ever caught in San Diego County. Gardner caught (and successfully released) this massive “shellcracker” at little 171 acre Lake Murray in La Mesa, fishing in the Alvarado Bay area of the lake, just south of the dock and parking area. Her massive redear settled the official scale on the dock at 4.15 pounds, obliterating the previous official lake record of 2.355 pounds – caught by Eduardo Valenzuela in June of 2011.
Not only was it easily the largest ever caught at Lake Murray, but it also eclipsed the San Diego County record of 3.7 pounds caught in April of 2002 at San Vicente Reservoir."
In 2002, the San Vicente record and San Diego County record redear sunfish weighed 3.7 pounds.
From 2002 to 2023, the San Vicente Reservoir and San Diego County record redear sunfish increased in size by 12.2%, from 3.7 pounds to 4.15 pounds.
From 2011 to 2017, the Lake Murray record redear sunfish increased in size by 76%, or close to doubled in size, from 2.355 pounds to 4.15 pounds.
The uncredited Intelligence operative from wayneswords.net omitted the hyper-exponential increase percentage, saying only that the new record “obliterated” the old.
That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
THE MISSOURI STATE RECORD REDEAR SUNFISH, 2022
On June 22, 2022, kansascity.com said “A record-breaking sunfish was caught at Missouri lake — but not in the traditional way”.
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, the author Kaitlyn Alanis redacted the word “state” from plainspoken “Missouri state record”
and then truncated “redear sunfish” to merely “redear”, all to make the subject far less searchable.
The article goes on to say “Using a method that’s more like hunting than fishing, a Missouri man caught a record-breaking fish earlier this month. That redear sunfish weighed 2 pounds, 2 ounces — beating out the previous record fish by 1 ounce, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation.”
Where the word “fish” is a link to a previous story, by Jill Pritchard, from May 5, 2021, which reads:
“The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) congratulates Alex Phillips of Ash Grove for becoming the new state record holder under alternative methods for redear sunfish. Phillips was bowfishing at Table Rock Lake April 28 when he shot a 2-pound, 1-ounce fish. The previous record, caught by Phillips’ friend Josh Cole, was a 1-pound, 12-ounce fish caught nearly two years ago to the day.”
In journalistic parlance, kansascity.com’s Kaitlyn Alanis had “buried” the data on the previous record in a separate link.
That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
So, in addition to looking up a separate article, I also had to do the math.
From 2021 to 2023, the Missouri state record redear sunfish increased in size by 3%, from 2 pounds, 1 ounce to 2 pounds, 2 ounces.
Kansascity.com’s Kaitlin Alanis omitted the date of and weight of the previous record, along with the margin between them, saying rather “beating out the previous record fish by 1 ounce”.

From 2019 to 2021, the Missouri state record redear sunfish increased in size by 17.9%, from 1 pound, 12 ounces to 2 pounds, 1 ounce.
Mcd.mo.gov’s Jill Pritchard omitted any mention of the hyper-exponential margin between the old record and the new.
That’s an example of the propaganda techniques known as “compartmentalization” and “stonewalling”.
On May 5, 2019, news-leader.com said “Reeds Spring bowfisherman breaks redear sunfish record.”
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Wes Johnson omitted both the name of the state and the word “state” from “state record”, to make the subject far less searchable.
Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
The article goes on to say "The latest was by Josh Cole of Reeds Spring, who used his bowfishing rig to shoot a 1-pound, 12-ounce redear sunfish at Table Rock Lake on April 29.
According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, Cole’s fish broke the previous record, a 1-pound, 1-ounce redear caught in 2017."
Where the News Leader’s Wes Johnson carefully omitted the margin between the records.
So, I had to do the math.
From 2017 to 2019, the Missouri state record redear sunfish increased in size by 75%, or close to doubled in size, from 1 pound, 1 ounce to 1 pound, 12 ounces.
The News Leader’s Wes Johnson omitted any mention of the hyper-exponential margin between the old record and the new.
That’s an example of the propaganda techniques known as “compartmentalization” and “stonewalling”.
On April 4, 2017, the Missouri Department of Conservation said “Angler catches state-record redear sunfish in NE Missouri”.
Where the uncredited author gynastically cut up the plainspoken “Missouri state record redear sunfish”, to make the subject far less searchable.
That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
They used “angler catches” to support the false meme that far-larger redear sunfish had been out there in Missouri, all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.
For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.
The uncredited Intelligence operative from the Missouri Department of Conservation goes on to say:
"James Lucas of O’Fallon became the most recent record-breaking angler in Missouri when he caught a redear sunfish on a private pond in Lincoln County. The new “alternative method” record fish caught by Lucas on March 24 weighed 1 pound, 1 ounce.
Lucas’ catch broke the previous state record of 6 ounces, caught in 1996."
Where “angler” and “caught” support the false meme that far-larger redear sunfish had been out there in Missouri, all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.
Did you notice how the propagandist omitted the margin between the old record and the new, and replaced it with the terse, general “broke”?
That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
From 1996 to 2022, the Missouri state record redear sunfish increased in size by 466%, or by over five times, from 6 ounces to 2.2 pounds.
From 1996 to 2017, the Missouri state record redear sunfish increased in size by 183%, or nearly tipled, from 6 ounces to 1 pound, 1 ounce.

From 1996 to 2017, the redear sunfish is absent from the record in Missouri.
In 1996, or soon after, the redear sunfish disappeared from the environment in Missouri, as the health of the ether decreased to a point where the species could no longer manifest within it.
It would remain absent for over twenty years, until it suddenly winked back into existence there in 2017, when the ether improved in health to the point where the species could once again manifest within it.
In 2017, after an absence of over twenty years, the redear sunfish winked back into existence in Missouri, at a 1.1-pound weight almost three times greater than the .6 pounds at which it had previously manifested.
