What do you think every major news outlet does all the time?? Go read “manufacturing consent” by Noam Chomsky. The amount of influence Russia has on American thought is negligible compared with the amount of control our own ruling class exerts by setting the terms of what we are allowed to care about. They tell us when to turn a blind eye, when to be upset, what to remember, what to forget. There’s a reason we pay 200 dollars a vial for insulin and everyone seems powerless to do anything about it, meanwhile unlimited funds are always available for dropping bombs on brown people to obtain their oil. For Pete’s sake the enemy is our own ruling elites. They must have decided that a great way to distract the American people from the fact that they’re fucking us with debt and shipping the jobs overseas and torching the climate and leaving nothing for the future is to start another Cold War (worked great the first time, let’s do it again!). They’re kind of out of ideas so they’re going to start doing remakes of old franchises. It’s just the same plot with better special effects. I just thought we were smarter than this. And yet, here we are. I remember the run up to the Iraq war. NBC, cnn and everyone else had a 24 hour running coverage about the evils of the saddam Hussein regime. They pulled the babies out of jthe incubators, we were told. They had weapons of mass destruction. And people were scared. We had just been attacked. We lined up behind George bush and gave him everything he wanted- the patriot act, which ended up being a massive increase in the surveillance state, a declaration of a state of emergency- anything he wanted. And it’s so, so easy for us now to point the finger at the people alive then and say, “what idiots”. But people were scared. They were shocked and afraid, and that is when you really have to be careful, that’s when the public is most easily manipulated. People are shocked and afraid now, which means that this is the worst possible time to trust any of our leaders or anything you see on the major news networks. What kind of new patriot act is Biden going to push through? What new foreign policy disaster? Get a grip! Russia is not some kind of puppet master controlling America! There is only one direction this leads and it’s a bigger and bigger enlargement of the intelligence apparatus. https://youtu.be/EuwmWnphqII https://youtu.be/EuwmWnphqII
