It was a joke, practically dripping with sarcasm.
To put it bluntly, while I'm not totally surprised, I was taken back a bit. Not so much by the propaganda angle but it hit me how deeply our government's treason actually is.
All this time I've been crediting the avalanche of misinformation to private individuals and organizations. I still do not want to accept how corrupt things have gotten.
By the way, I believe the problem runs much deeper than the article leads us to believe. False news stories everywhere. False informants. Faked "facts" and yes, faked events. So much so that everything we see, read, hear must be suspect. We need to turn our BS meters to full sensitivity.
On another note, we also need to pay close attention. Something in a fiction book I recently read brought this to mind. I'm not sure how true this is but it made sense - intelligence organizations rely on news sources for much of their own information. Think about that. The alphabet organization doesn't need to carry most of them on payroll. People are more likely to be forthcoming to reporters than spooks. And the network is massive. Too bad the idiots poisoned their own wells.
Even if a mostly made-up story there may be elements of truth. If not we need to question - why is this put forth? To confuse? To panic? To distract? (This last is a big one - they love to yet "Squirrel!")
My own suggestion is we need to center ourselves around the real truth. And truth comes from God. The New World Order was prophesied long ago. I'm not so sure we should try to stop it even if possible. The decline of the USA? I don't know if that can be stopped either. However if it CAN, it will be because we, as a nation, turn to God. And that will only happen if we, as individuals, turn to God. If you want to do your part, start on your own knees.
