Read 1984, Animal Farm and Brave New World way back in the 1960s. Frightening how much of it is becoming true today.

The other side just didn't get enough propaganda out there in time. And the fraud machine did not kick into high gear. They won't repeat THAT mistake.

It’s time for some home schooling.
Regardless of school required reading, all parents should have their children read “Brave New World”, “1984”, “Animal Farm”, “Fahrenheit 451”, “Starship Troopers”, “DUNE”, “Foundation”.
Anyone wants to add to the list?

Hillary took them to be instruction manuals. In her capacity as first lady of Arkansas, Hillary handed out copies of "Mein Kampf" as Christmas gifts to the governor's staff.
So there's that.

Good idea.
About Alinsky, we just have to change things like "ridicule" into "humor, " and stuff like that.
Also, honor God instead of Lucifer.

All of the works by these authors/poets at the very least:
Hemingway
TS Eliot
Joyce Carry
D H Lawrence
Lawrence Darrell
Alexander Pope
Shakespeare
B Traven
Wilhelm Reich
There a host of others - look up a list of classics and read them all.
Also;
The Encyclopedia Britannica
Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary
Roget’s Thesaurus.
I could go on for pages - just the basics listecd here

I had a hard time with “1984” because of the caged hungry rat device put over the guys head.

Yeah. Gotcha on that one.
One of the things that bugged me the most is when he said to do it to his girlfriend, the one he loved.
