Happily brainwashed and unwilling to think — with a foundation like that, what is the United States' future?

Groundwork for today's observation

 

Someone had the morning television news on. Reportedly, Russia was missile-attacking civilians in Ukraine in the aftermath of the Kerch Bridge sabotage.

 

One near-screeching reporter indicated that miraculously no one was injured near a children's playground in Kyiv.

 

The report went on to cite examples of allegedly close calls that — again evidently magically — turned up no casualties.

 

Not once, did this American news outlet mention the nature of what actually was blown up.

 

When I pointed this (apparently intentional Media) oversight out to one of the morning's TV-watchers — and observed that Russia never gets any credit for not killing innocents — he maintained that Russia should not be attacking anywhere near civilians.

 

Evidently, the previous 8 years worth of American-coup-led Ukrainians deliberately blowing up 14,000 Russian heritage people in the Donbas did not count (in that person's mind) as an evil to be countered.

 

Nor did the well-demonstrated Nazi nature of the Ukrainian regime and its US-NATO instigated murdering war against Russians and Russia.

 

 

Enter Edward Curtin's depressed assessment

 

Today, he published the following:

 

 

To those who buy the mass media propaganda, I ask:

 

Why is the U.S.A. always fighting to kill people so far from its shores?

 

Doesn’t it sound a bit odd that our wonderful leaders destroyed Libya, Vietnam, Serbia, the Philippines, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc., countries so far away, and now that Russia defends itself from U.S./NATO encroachment a few miles from its borders, it is accused of being the evil aggressors and Vladimir Putin called another Hitler like all the leaders of the countries we attacked?

 

Have you completely lost your ability to think?

 

Or do you, like little children, actually believe the disembodied newsreaders who deliver your prepackaged television propaganda?

 

I will tell you what it makes me:

 

A disgusted human being sickened by all the lies and people’s gullibility after decades of evidence that should have awakened them to the truth about all these politicians and the war against Russia underway.

 

I have lost patience with it.

 

For decades I have been writing about such propaganda to no avail.  Yes, those who tended to agree with me might have moved a little closer to my arguments, but the vast majority have not budged an iota.

The moral? — When nuclear fire (or something similar) consumes . . .

 

. . . this planet's propagandized masses, nothing hope-inspiring will have been lost.

 

Not even the Deity (apparently) can fix humanity's fawning worship of being Lazy Dull.
