20. An observation from decades ago
Thu Jul 3, 2025, 01:08 PM
Jul 2025


Back whenever the corporatists had their G summits and there were protesters, which sometimes had provocateurs destroying corporate property which made the corporatists mad, so, CNN announced that they would no longer cover the protests because they didn’t want to encourage “bad” behavior and cause it to spread.

Fast forward a few decades later and they showed magas standing on Capitol steps around the country armed with weapons of war. The media didn’t take issue with encouraging more armed insurrectionist, threatening our democracy.

The corporatists own the narrative and it bends toward “In God We Trust” written on all our currency that is why we are where we are. The corporatists decide what gruel to feed us.

That’s why I don’t tune in to their propaganda.
