I guess this is the lesson of the past few years: You’re never going to go far wrong distrusting Big Government and Big Corporations:

German MP, Petr Bystron: "This is an interesting approach that you are taking here. German tanks against Russia in Ukraine. Your grandfathers already tried that, by the way, back then with the Melnyks and Banderas, and what is the result?"

Iraq 1991 was all about seizing post-Soviet strategic dominance (and permanent bases) in the Gulf region; securing the petrodollar system, and greatly weakening the no-longer-useful Iraqi army the empire supported to fight against Iran.

@oloos878787 @SydneyFreedberg @HuntClancy @siberiancattt Iraq 2003 was about: 1) ostentatiously employing an iron fist against even more potent emerging threats to the global dollar system – in particular Iraq’s gambit to sell its oil for Euros and gold; 2) menace and contain a greatly strengthening Iran.

@oloos878787 @SydneyFreedberg @HuntClancy @siberiancattt The transparently US-manufactured coup d'état in Ukraine was the culmination of decades of patient nurturing and militarization of Ukraine’s notoriously extremist Bandera disciples, whose violent nationalism and virulent anti-Russian gospel were aggressively evangelized.

I was a chump who once supported both Iraq wars. Our government has been lying to us for a long, long time. Longer than I ever realized or was willing to accept. It turns out that nothing is as it is told to us. The past six years have been if nothing else, quite eye opening. It has been a very disorienting experience to see the truth behind the lies be revealed. But now I can never unsee what I’ve seen unfold. Wow.
Scott Adams still doesn’t get it. I take issue with his suggestion that we “anti-vaxxers” were merely distrustful of the government. For many of us, including me, trust in the government / health authorities was the default until 2020-2021. This default position was overcome by REASONING regarding the nature of Covid and the appearance of these new “vaccines.” He just can’t bring himself to concede that he was duped / didn’t think critically about what was going on.
