Let me make this pellucidly clear for the hacks

15. Couple that with a misbegotten "domino theory" and you get a real planetary problem.

Of course, that theory was concocted to make middle class "folks" think they had a stake in fighting the "threat" of socialism. How else could TPTB get them to offer up their children as cannon fodder to protect their profits.

But when the "folks" wised up to that scam they had to invent another dire "threat" and that's how we came to a war on "TERROR". Which was carefully engineered so as to be easily expanded into a "war on poor people", complete with push-button technology so the kids wouldn't have to get their hands dirty.

Somehow this evolves, hand in glove, with a mysterious war on immorality. I hope, with this overreach, they have FINALLY jumped the shark. I mean, after all, this noise was Hitler's modus operandi 90 years ago.

Are we to lose our bid at supremacy in the frozen wheat fields of Russia as well? A year ago, I'd never even have imagined the thought crossing my mind. Now it's tickling the border between far-fetched-fantasy and unlikely possibility. There was a time, recently, when re-warring with Iran, having been put on a high shelf, was dusted off and migrated to eye level by the Trump/Bolton-ites.

Fool's fancy and potential threats to corporate freebooting require extreme contingency measures from time to time, I suppose.
