Well the only way this statement can be plausibly read that makes any sense or is in any capacity useful is "the truth value of anything I state in red is true."

The problem comes in the subjective definition of the foundational premises that determine truth or falsehood. Since it's prose, formal logic can't really work out exactly. Unfortunately, the idea that the writer is trying to get as close to a formal definition as possible appears to have been wrong, and thus the foundation is a universe unlike our own.

I submit that a murder was committed in 1996.
This murder was a "copycat" crime inspired by our tales of 1986.
This story is a redacted confession.
