There is a lot of misinformation about. The user is responsible for sifting through it. Most people can't or won't and they are thus susceptible to the propaganda/continuing psyops. I consider myself to be fairly strong minded but I succumb to it at least on a subconscious level.

It can be very difficult sometimes to keep an even keel.

Funny but the NYT and The Washington Post won legal victories in publishing the Pentagon Papers so I guess the public should have been warned not to read the news

Written shortly after WW II:

We Are Those People
Robinson Jeffers

I have abhorred the wars and despised the liars, laughed at the frightened
And forecast victory; never one moment’s doubt.
But now not far, over the backs of some crawling years, the next
Great war’s column of dust and fire writhes
Up the sides of the sky: it becomes clear that we too may suffer
What others have, the brutal horror of defeat—
Or if not in the next, then in the next—therefore watch Germany
And read the future. We wish, of course, that our women
Would die like biting rats in the cellars, our men like wolves on the mountain:
It will not be so. Our men will curse, cringe, obey;
Our women uncover themselves to the grinning victors for bits of chocolate.

If there is evidence any of these emails were “hacked” I’d like to see it. So far, none has been presented.

Of course, the legacy media keeps calling them hacked. How are they so sure they were not leaked by a mole or disgruntled employee?

In 1944, the Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko’s mother took him from Siberia to Moscow. They were among those who witnessed a procession of twenty-thousand German war prisoners marching through the streets of Moscow:

The pavements swarmed with onlookers, cordoned off by soldiers and police. The crowd was mostly women — Russian women with hands roughened by hard work, lips untouched by lipstick, and with thin hunched shoulders which had borne half of the burden of the war. Every one of them must have had a father or a husband, a brother or a son killed by the Germans. They gazed with hatred in the direction from which the column was to appear.

At last we saw it. The generals marched at the head, massive chins stuck out, lips folded disdainfully, their whole demeanor meant to show superiority over their plebian victors.

“They smell of perfume, the bastards,” someone in the crowd said with hatred. The women were clenching their fists. The soldiers and policemen had all they could do to hold them back.

All at once something happened to them. They saw German soldiers, thin, unshaven, wearing dirty blood-stained bandages, hobbling on crutches or leaning on the shoulders of their comrades; the soldiers walked with their heads down. The street became dead silent — the only sound was the shuffling of boots and the thumping of crutches.

Then I saw an elderly women in broken-down boots push herself forward and touch a policeman’s shoulder, saying, “Let me through.” There must have been something about her that made him step aside. She went up to the column, took from inside her coat something wrapped in a colored handkerchief and unfolded it. It was a crust of black bread. She pushed it awkwardly into the pocket of a soldier, so exhausted that he was tottering on his feet. And now from every side women were running toward the soldiers, pushing into their hands bread, cigarettes, whatever they had. The soldiers were no longer enemies. They were people.

— A Precocious Autobiography, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Collins, London

Our rulers really really want a war with Russia.

It worked out well for the Nazis when they invaded Russia. Thanks Obama!

That’s a more encouraging assessment of humanity than Jeffers’. Let’s hope.

It is a very foolish thing to go to war with Russia, who will be backed by Iran and China at least.

Russia now has missiles in Kalingrad to keep the small NATO countries there, who rarely send troops or help much anyway, under threat.

Russia has massed troops at the borders. Latvia is on high alert.

But Nato has generously made use of our troops to cover Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, and more. Armed Brigades from Colorado as I recall.

When the heat becomes fire, the little troops we have left are all overseas?

This is nothing more than the last nail in the coffin lid of the former USA. Thanks to Ziggy Brzezinski, Obama, Hillary and probably Soros.

Trump is our very last chance. Everyone knows this, especially Soros and ilk.
