When I was a kid, we were taught about the horrible Soviet controlled news media, Pravda, and how the people were brainwashed because there was no free press. Now at age 70, I am amazed that our own media has turned into Pravda on steroids!
Our population has become so ignorant that, our corporate media doesn't even have to be subtle about dumping crude propaganda into our minds, because most people truly don't see it as that. The brainwashing of the American public via an almost seamless corporate media is so seamless that even 2/3 of the doctors at the Bay Area hospital where my brother works as an ER doctor voted TWICE for Trump.
Even 2 months after the Hamas attack on Israel, CNN was reporting on "new" findings and details about Hamas rapes (that may or may not have even happened), while Biden/Netanyahu were dropping military-grade American-made explosives and killing thousands of children.
Since 9/11, the American military has caused 4.5 million deaths and 38 million refugees, according to a recent Brown University study. Putin has killed 500 or so Ukrainian children in 2 years, while Biden has killed 12,000 Gazan children in 4 months. Biden's proxy war in Ukraine has already wiped out 3 Ukrainian armies, killed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, traumatized EVERY Ukrainian child for life, and left an area of Ukraine the size of Florida poisoned with the depleted uranium from our shell casings and littered with unexploded mines and bomblets that will be blowing legs off children for the next 50 years, while keeping the WHOLE WORLD at a Cuban Missile Crisis level of nuclear danger every day for 2 years.
You like to post links, JP, well so do I. The links for starting one's day for anybody with the guts to take the red pill are https://chrishedges.substack.com, https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au, and https://www.democracynow.org. It's actually possible to know what's going on in the world, but first people need the courage to break free from the "official narrative" and stop being so desperate cling to tribal belonging, a deep and compelling evolutionary urge, I know. There is no dignity to being a zombie, but that's what most Americans are.
