My Life-Long Experience Is that the Worst Thing You Can Do for Your Own Interest is to Tell the Truth. Judging by the narratives rolled out for us dumbshit Americans, we are regarded as totally stupid by the Democrats, Republicans, CIA, FBI and rest of the ruling establishment and their media whores.
Americans have been slow to learn that governments at every level, including their property owners association, cannot be trusted any more than the local monopoly, the local polluter, financial shysters, or their Big Pharma-indoctrinated doctor. Americans have fallen for every lie fed to them: the “Civil War,” WW I, WW II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the lies about Gaddafi and Libya, the lies about “Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction,” “Assad’s use of chemical weapons,” “Iranian nukes,” “Russia’s invasion of Georgia,” “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.” “Russia’s planned invasion of Europe,” 9/11, “Muslim terrorists,” Palestinian terrorists, “the Covid vax is safe and effective,” the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump, Jan 6 “insurrectionists” who were merely protesters against a stolen presidential election. The lies that the American people have swallowed hook, line, and sinker would fill up many volumes of books. Americans are so lost in their patriotism that it makes them stupid. Patriotism can be used to support every lie.
