(32,139 posts)that are being attempted by the usual government mouthpieces throughout this thread.
The other point that the propaganda machine tries to desperately to ignore is that We the People observe these events in the context of the entire horrifying record and trajectory of this administration re: the ongoing dismantling of our Constitutional protections. These behaviors are entirely consistent with this administration's targeting of journalists and whistleblowers, intimidation of the free press, turning our internet over to corporate interests, militarizing our police, brutally targeting protesters, and using our own intelligence agencies to establish a surveillance state and propaganda machine targeted at Americans.
*Nothing* here should be surprising to anyone who has been paying attention to the relentlessly corporate and disturbingly undemocratic direction of the last administration and the current one. This is our government run by corporate money, which purchases government to dispense corporate rule and propaganda, rather than represent the people and our Constitution.
It is far past time to reject the constant propaganda bids for utter delusion - the constant ludicrous pretending that each betrayal in the relentless parade of betrayals is somehow an aberration or a misunderstanding. It is well past time to face head-on the desperate problem we face: that our corporate-purchased politicians are assisting the PTB in systematically removing every avenue we have left to fight against the subversion of our government from a Constitutional representative system to an corporate oligarchy.
Thank you, again, Divernan, for this great post. And thanks also for not replying directly to the propaganda, but putting this excellent response here instead.
