When I was a kid around 1957 I watched the news and believed everything they said.

I can distinctly remember wanting to take my .22 single shot and join the romantic Castro in Cuba.

There was a crazy right wing group called the John Birch Society who claimed he was secretly a Communist and was being aided secretly by the Soviet Union. When I say secretly, they would give Castro aid but it would not be AK-47s, it would be weapons like they could have gotten from the Cuban military or civilians.

Was the John Birch society just lucky that they guessed what was going on?

Was I and millions more being mislead by the media?

Its easy to manipulate the bulk of mankind. The media has been doing it for decades.

Makes you kinda wonder with all the anti-human crap the government does these days if they have been co-opted by another power without our species best interests in mind...

Was I and millions more being mislead by the media?...Uhh, gee. I think we all have been from TET onward.

Today you could replace communists with muslims and the Soviet Union with Saudi Arabia or muslim brotherhood.
