It's rather amazing when you realize that no one comes into this world knowing anything. Everything anyone tells you are merely learned beliefs. Something someone told someone.
There are no born Zionists, Catholics, republicans or vegetarians. No capitalists, imperialists, propagandists, or CNN commentators. Everything is acquired.
It's helpful to remember that there is no reason to take all these warmongers seriously.
As usual... spot on! Thank you for continuing to speak truth to power and wake up those who refuse to acknowledge the sorry state of what we call the US Government!
I actually do feel like kink-shaming the people with the Democrat worship fetish, since that one turns them into assholes who verbally insult people without the same love of Dems and who don't get off on being insulted. (Well, not by them, anyway.)
Also, if Ryan Grim failed to notice you were (I assume) subtweeting him there then you dodged a bullet; he's already called Jimmy Dore weird for saying in so many words that he must have a humiliation fetish due to his frequent self-owns.
It's a possibility that "nukes" is a big psyop... that they don't exist as described, and the idea of them, and the threat of them is a psychological tool for control.
History is a lie agreed upon... we only know what we've been told. What is true? When you research the topic, you'll learn more about it instead of automatically dismissing it.
So, do you believe that objective reality can never be determined, that there's no such thing as absolute Truth? I respectfully disagree and believe we have a responsibility to try to determine Truth through direct observation and testimony from trusted sources. Original documents, films, photographs etc are pretty close to direct observations. Sure, some might be faked, but the faking of the enormous body of evidence and eye witnesses testimony to those attacks is not credible.
More generally, sources can be evaluated for their trustworthiness by their past track record, internal inconsistencies and conflicts of interest. Someone who has never lied to me is more credible than someone who has been caught in multiple past lies.
I agree that we can not know for certain what is happening in a foreign country. Most of us don't even know what happens in our own family. That's why we should not blindly accept media reports of "concentration camps" in China without taking into consideration the possible motivations for such reports, and we should never support military action based on such reports. But none of that means that objective reality and absolute Truth do no exist and should not be sought.
Your thesis requires a vast conspiracy involving everyone from Albert Einstein on down, and no leakers over a period of some 70 years. Not only that, it contradicts known and observable facts too numerous to count..Castle Bravo, anyone?
My yardstick for rejecting a belief is when the proposed solution is many orders more complicated, ludicrous, unwieldy, and vast than the thing it attempts to explain. So many Kennedy assassination scenarios fall into this category, for example. Yours would be another.

Thank you for always speaking the truth!
Brilliant. Thank You.

I think there are survivors of Hiroshima or Nagasaki and their descendants who might possibly disagree.

Not to be insulting, but that exact same line has been used by flat earthers to justify their particular brand of frothy assumptions.
While it's true that much of what we know is what we're told, without a robust means to discriminate, we can be easily led into some very dark waters.
M.A.D.
Occam's Razor.
