Well It Begins...... [View all]

the MSM is back today with a vengeance - scaring the hell out of Americans.

Back from their holiday hiatus and loaded for bear - they pick up where they left off.

It's interesting that it seems like the whole world takes a break for the holidays. And it's equally interesting that now that the holidays are over and the new year began - that the world is up to its old before the holidays antics.

Are we being propagandized or manipulated? You tell me.
