I haven't read the old postings - it's all so dark, & I struggle to stay in a decent frame of mind these daze as it is. Our susceptibility to propaganda goes back so very far! I did anti-nuke work for 10+ years (I live in Toronto in the backyard of 2 gigantic nuclear facilities) & learned that there was no "need" to drop the bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki, either (among countless other nasty lessons about nukes & governments & the captured so-called "regulatory agencies"). We naive humans appear to have a deeply stubborn urge, or need, to "look up to" our "leaders" & believe they mean us well. And this naivete is on steroids in the current era! I say "Sigh" a lot lately. But ... I still much enjoy hearing from truth-tellers!
B-b-b-but... we’re supposed to be the good guys!
