Thanks for your contribution. I may even go back and finish the interview of Jacob Chansley.
A few things that I have gleaned on my own. Our mainstream press is pretty much a one-party, one ideology press. It has been that way for decades. Many of us at freerepblic dismiss our one-party press. Unfortunately, we are likely outnumbered by those who simply absorb their propaganda like a sponge.
Our higher education system has been to the left for decades. Marxism-Leninism and spin-offs have always been as strong in American academia as anywhere else. I think covert communists have always been in the CIA. Today the CIA, FBI, and DOJ are far to the left, even if they think themselves free of named “isms.”
With academia to the left, what of young people?
Most people on the left are willing to do as they are told by leftist authorities. They take direction (orders) uncritically.
If, hypothetically speaking, leaders want to reduce the world’s population through artfully designed viruses and vaccines, the indoctrinated will proudly show their vaccination card. I’m not advancing that as a conspiracy, but just to show some of the processes at play.
Perhaps a better example is de-funding the police. Liberals can do so, get mugged, and may even then continue to blame the police, society, Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump for their mugging. The brainwashed seem devoid of reason. However, they reason well enough in the acquisition of power. They obsess over power thinking that it is the solution, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Is the insanity we see around us coordinated? As with society in general, yes and no. However, “the madness of crowds” need only infect the court in order to do vast damage.
Since Watergate. They stole the 1960 election from him, and then they pulled a successful coup d'état in 1974.
The following is a pretty good explanation of what transpired to make that happen, which was posted by another Freeper a few days ago:
