Then what?! is giving the lamestream media a reason to get cameras on the border. They have resisted to do any reporting on the border.

My sister and her husband only get their news from Lester Holt NBS Nightly News. They seek no other sources, just the 30 minutes.

My mother and I were commenting about the border invasion and my sister stood there in a daze. She hadn’t heard a thing about it. She promptly scolded us to not talk politics. We are not talking stupid people here. My mother was a teacher for 30 years, sister a school LD administrator for 30+ years, her husband a guidance counselor for 40 years.

Some people keep their eyes closed to bad things.

I deal with the exact same thing with my family. Otherwise very intelligent people. They think they are well informed, and don’t know what they don’t know, and the bad part is, when you tell them, they will act like angry children and reject what their actual own family members are telling them!!!! But when Lestor Holt talks, you can see the hypnotic spirals just spinning in their glazed eyes.

These are sad times.

Orwell had it wrong. INGSOC never would have been collectively accepted because people would have inherantly recognized that you can’t trust a self serving voice. But the genius of our current system of propaganda is that the people actually believe that the media is an independent third party!

Ask her if she knew the Mexican Army drove across the Donna, TX international bridge in 2011 and obama did zip, zero, nada. Yeah, it was a lark but it was also a show of aggression and to prove the US wouldn’t do a thing. Imagine Xi, Putin and Kim’s response if the US Army drove across well marked borders.

Then they are stupid. Or just lazy. Either way it’s just proves functional people can be morons.
