I guess I’m going fully red-string crazy because yeah, we’ve been under a russian propaganda storm for years now and like… why does the cia just let them? I think we have to recognize that the global information apparatus is allied against the ignorant public, their mutual targets.
How can the secret service let a 20y/o survalence a presidential candidates campaign site; see the guy with a view finder scope out the building your snipers are in; then let him grab his gun and climb in the building you are in?
Our law enforcement is about as useful as a pool noodle.
Spend some time looking into true crime. Crimes go unsolved not because the murders are geniuses. 9 out of 10 our law enforcement is incompetent.
Because we were already in one of the hugest propaganda storms in human history, and the Russians just started using the American apparatus effectively.
It’s not like Noam Chomsky hasn’t been talking about this for decades
This. “This is a Russian stratagem” is the same level of oblivious as the guy in the image.
The difference between the Russian strategem and the preceding “normal operation” was that normally consent was manufactured through capture of the news media, and selective airing of stories.
The novelty of what the Russians doing is that they don’t need to control what gets said, they just shout gibberish louder than anyone else. Not that a lot of Western interests didn’t start doing the same as well.
