Our beloved Governor Moonbeam, I miss him too. He handed Newsom economically a very healthy state and now he may hand the state over to Scumbag Elder.

The spectacular implosion of Mike Lindell

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...-mike-lindell/

No so different from the spectacular failure of all the Trumpkins on this site. Idiots, every one.

The presentation above helps one understand what is happening in our world today. It also comes from a great Youtube channel.

Again, I post for the adults here that would like to broaden and deepen their perspective.
This promotes the belief that an evil elite is attempting to victimize the public through propaganda, and so gain absolute power. It is quite true. It also promotes the belief that this elite is in control of current government, and the anti-pandemic measures are part of the scheme to seize absolute power. This is absolutely false.

This video, of course, is a part of the first-mentioned group's efforts, and evidence of their continuing activities. NI seems to be acting in their service.

I watched it without sound as I was in a noisy public setting.
So, am I to think it's the battle of the brainwashing overlords?

Edward R. Morrow summary
"This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it's nothing but wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance, intolerance and indifference. This weapon of television could be useful."

Alas, it's worse than lights in a box, it can deceive, it can confuse, it can enrage, 'to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends.'

There, edited the headline for you.
Radio show host-actor-comedian D.L. Hughley described Larry Elder as tRump with dark skin and big lips. Of course he's going to call fraud on the election. Looking for him to begin soliciting funds for his own Stop The Steal campaign and of course run for office properly next year..

Politics/power has always been and forever will be a battle of brainwashing overlords. TV/media and 'scientific'
psychology being the current means of mass conditioning/manipulation. Both sides play this game. They can't help it ... it's who we are ... human beings ... DNA survival machines ...
