Just wondering

[robdogbucky]

Recent threads, recent events, reflection on Easter Sunday, all brought me to sit back and recall. All the events that shaped my opinions, or directly impacted my life, how much do we know? What is truth, what is illusion? We the people are not all alike, but we are all subject to our own perceptions and the projected reality, news and propaganda, emotionally charged issues, etc.

I don't normally like to read long run-on paragraphs myself, but as I assembled from memory and fact-checked some dates for accuracy, it struck me when accumulated like that, just -

It’s so much of it that is psyops in large part for as far back as I can remember;

Truman defeats Dewey, Yellow Peril, McCarthy, cold war warms up, Eisenhower over Stevenson, Operation Mockingbird, Sputnik, Kruschev’s shoe pounding, birth of NASA, Nixon’s Checkers speech, Camelot, Bay of Pigs operation, CIA, Operation Northwoods, Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy assassination, Oswald, Ruby, CIA, Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard, Gulf of Tonkin incident, McNamara & Johnson’s Vietnam war escalations, War on Poverty, The New Society, King assassination, James Earl Ray, 2nd Kennedy assassination, Sirhan Sirhan, The Selling of the President 1968, Kissinger & Nixon’s Vietnam disasters, George HW Bush heads CIA, Air America, golden triangle finds US homes, winning hearts and minds, CIA, , Nixon’s War on Crime, Mexican heroin epidemic, Project Intercept, Wounded Knee 2, the Martha Mitchell Effect, Watergate, national protests/public opinion shift force end of war, Ford’s pardon, Ford’s War on Inflation, College of Americas, CIA, fall of US puppet Shah, Iran Hostage crisis, Khomeini , Reagan, wages begin 30-year erosion, removal of Fairness Doctrine, PACs, lobbyists increase influence over both parties, deregulation, eternal tax cuts begin, War on Drugs, covert wars in Central America, CIA, Ollie North, Iran-Contra/Ollie North Israeli weapons, cocaine, Lebanon barracks bombing, unquestioned US support for South Africa/apartheid, Israel/Palestinian occupation in UN votes, AIDS, homelessness, crack epidemic, Bohemian Grove, Carn-St. Germain, Savings & Loan disaster, cold war begins to end with Gdansk/Walenska, ends with collapse o f Berlin Wall, Yeltsin faces down uprising, Intifada, Bush 41’s Desert Storm, Bush v Saddam, Read My Lips Loses, Black Hawk Down, 1st World Trade Center bombing, USS Cole bombing, embassy bombing, John Tower dies, Ron Brown dies, Murrah Building bombing in OKC, Ruby Ridge, Waco Branch Davidians, Contract on America, Monica’s stained dress, opposition to & interventions in Bosnia-Herzegovenia ethnic cleansing, repeal of Glass-Steagall, John Kennedy Jr. dies, Ariel Sharon “visits” Temple Mount, Intifada, 2000 Republican riot at recount in Florida, Scalia court decision in Gore v Bush, 9/11, CIA, Bush 43’s illegal wars, War on Terrorism, Strategy of Tension, permanent reinstatement of military industrial complex, transformation of surplus into deficits, disaster capitalism, shock doctrine, attack on 2-party system, consolidated media ownership, ideological cleansing of US departments, Paul Wellstone dies, “no civil wars” in middle east, “no recession,” in US, endless tax cuts planned, one party dominance planned, endless war planned for middle east, insurance, banks/Dow Jones collapse just before elections, inevitable Obama win, relentless attacks on Obama’s efforts to revive economy from 30+ years of bipartisan abuse.

I have somewhat vivid images (largely from TV news and photos)of all the above events as time marches on. Anyone see patterns here? I think I do. I don't think one side is comparable to the other side at all.

Just my dos centavos
