I think bagster does- he also ‘trusts the plan’ and still believes in ‘Q-drops’

Right Bag?

By NOW-does anyone believe one iota of what comes out of the ‘press’??

I saw a survey that 35% of Americans would be OK with a war with Russia.

I'd guess that those idiots believe the media.

Hearst told Frederick Remington: “You supply the pictures, I’ll supply the war.”

“The press has lied to drag the United States into war.... “

Aw, ya think? And the NYT has been right up there at the front of the parade, just about every time.

The more things change, the more they remain the same. It is all cosmetics, dressing up the same old distortions and manufactured “facts” to marshal the groupthink.

War, any war, is a source of great entertainment and commitment, especially by those who are not to be actively engaged in any actual combat. In the abstract, going to war has a fascination that cannot be compared to any other human endeavor.

I see them on social media, with their Uke flag support stickers, regurgitating talking points like trained parrots.

The news media had them worked up and ready for war in a matter of hours.

I stopped watching the news right after Rush crossed the bridge. He was my only source of truth.

I’m currently reading “Illusion of Victory: America in WWI”. Wilson’s mania for getting the US to save Europe’s aristocracy from that bloodbath ginned up our press to the point that a white hot hatred for anything German led to the lynching of random and innocent German Americans, in one case pulling a guy jailed for being a German lacking enthusiasm for Wilson’s war, from his cell and lynching him on the spot. These lynchings were all north of the Mason-Dixon Line. The press in America are the bootlicks and running dog lackeys of the ruling class, AKA the hoarding class. You see a news crew in the field, go out of your way to spit on them.
