Headline on Quartz:
Americans! Were you the target of Russian propaganda? Check here.
The story rolls on wth the usual neocentrist Russiagate/Hooplegate crap…true, false or any of the infinite colors in between, I really don’t think any of it amounts to a hill of beans other than as a lever for the Permanent Government to roll back the Impertinent/Deploralist Government now in control of the White House…it’s all more like an old East Side gang allying itself with an old West Side gang to fight a new South Side gang for control of a numbers/drugs/prostitution racket, except in this case the numbers are really, really big.
Come to think of it, so are the prostitutes.
Sigh.
However…
That blowhard headline did suggest at least one good idea:
How about a big media story titled:
Americans! Were you the target of American propaganda? Check here!!!
Followed of course by:
All of the big media names…left, right and (Neo?)center.
All of the “It’s the American Way!!!” advertisers like the car and truck ads, the Big Pharma and Big Insurance ads, the fast food ads, the Big Banky and Big Investy ads, etc.
All of the Big Politics ads…nothing but blow-as-hard-as-possible-into-an-empty-bag-bullshit-and-see-who-barfs-last.
Americans! Were you the target of American propaganda? Check here.
An idea whose time has come.
Please!!!
Later…

P.S. The answer to the full implications of that second question? (Were you the (successful) target of American propaganda?) The many who answered “Of course not!!! Whadda you think I am? Stupid or sump’n!!!???” and then kept right on plodding through the mounting bullshit?
Or all of those who chose “Neither of the above” when presented with the Scylla and Charybdis choice of the HRC gang and the DT (Delirium Tremens) Gang now ensconced in the Orval Orifice.
Read on:
As Shakespeare so eloquently wrote in “King Lear:”
Edmund: Thou, nature, art my goddess. To thy law
My services are bound. Wherefore should I
Stand in the plague of custom and permit
The curiosity of nations to deprive me
For that I am some twelve or fourteen moonshines
Lag of a brother? Why “bastard”? Wherefore “base”?
When my dimensions are as well compact,
My mind as generous, and my shape as true
As honest madam’s issue? Why brand they us
With “base,” with “baseness,” “bastardy,” “base,” “base”–
Who in the lusty stealth of nature take
More composition and fierce quality
Than doth within a dull, stale, tirèd bed
Go to th’ creating a whole tribe of fops
Got ‘tween a sleep and wake? Well then,
Legitimate Edgar, I must have your land.
Our father’s love is to the bastard Edmund
As to the legitimate.–Fine word, “legitimate”!–
Well, my legitimate, if this letter speed
And my invention thrive, Edmund the base
Shall top th’ legitimate. I grow, I prosper.
Now, gods, stand up for bastards!
“…within a dull, stale, tirèd bed
Go to th’ creating a whole tribe of fops,
got ‘tween a sleep and wake?”
The PermaGov in a nutshell. The DeploraGov too
“Now, gods, stand up for bastards!”
One honest bastard in the right place could topple this foolishness forever!!!
Let us pray!!!
