I keep hearing about people who claim they fought in wars to protect our right to vote. There are people who’ve done just that, but they’re in their 90s today.
Winning World War II kept the dream alive, but the wars that followed were all wars for money and power. Vietnam was a ginned-p war, it was part of the McCarthyism Red Scare, the domino effect. We lost that war and we trade with Vietnam today.
The Iraq War is also well documented as a ginned-up war. I’m sorry so many people had to suffer through these wars, but we were duped by the media into thinking we were fighting for our freedom and the right to vote.
The DNC is doing it to us again with Russia. It’s the new cold war. McCarthyism all over again. It’s constant Russophobia in the news. Putin this! Putin that! Putin poisoned Hillary! Hacked the DNC’s e-mails!
James Clapper, director of national intelligence tells us there are hacks everywhere, all the time, and they don’t know of any direct connection to Russia or Putin: “They’re looking into it.”
The media interprets this as proof Putin did it! If you listen to the administration and read the articles that are not opinion pieces, you will see they are only accusations — the hacking — the doping — no evidence presented, none!
The opinion pieces are certain that it was Russia or Putin. My concern is they are priming us for what might be WWIII. This time it could come home to the USA. Russia’s not a Third World country.
We’re so close to a confrontation in Syria that it may be just a matter of time.
