  1.  @stephenhenry5072  Some would argue that the manufacture of consent through lies and distortion dates back to the Spanish-American War and the Hearst empire. The BBC has been the establishment's mouthpiece for decades. UK and Europe have never been coy about censorship. They don't have a 1st Amendment. In the USA, where our constitution supposedly forbids it, the propaganda and censorship have been more hidden, but all the more pernicious, because the majority of Americans believed that the government actually obeyed the constitution. It's very cringe, thinking back to the '70s, when I laughed at the bald-faced lies in Soviet propaganda, totally unaware of the bald-faced lies in American propaganda. I didn't start waking up until the '90s, wondering what the hell we were doing dropping bombs in Yugoslavia. Then I read my dad's old copy of Heinlein's "Expanded Universe," where he did a deep dive into Soviet logistics and American claims about Soviet power. Routinely off by one or sometimes two orders of magnitude. I thought Frank Church was a traitor in the 1980s. By the 2010s, it dawned on me that the Reagan administration set us up for a lot of the regime-change BS we've seen unfold, regardless of which party owned the White House. It's abhorrent.

  2. You should take what these guys say with a grain of salt. They've gotten a few things wrong, here and there, but they're much more reliable than American dinosaur media. They were laughing off the very idea that the Russians would pursue anything remotely resembling what is now called the "Special Military Operation." They were totally caught off-guard by the invasion in February, 2022. That was a very big miss.

  3. Yes. We're seeing the outgoing administration do what I feared: lashing out at the civilization it despises, since it can't remain in power.

  4. Yes. $300 billion wasted on death and destruction that could've been used to POSITIVE purpose.
