The journal reveals the sordid plot to us (readers of Watchmen), but it also about to be revealed to the New American editors. The lame cover story will be undercut, and the world will continue to careen towards holocaust. Dr. manhattan says "nothing ever ends". Rorshach's Journal represents the triumph of the Word over deception. "I am an impure thinker.
