I remember the atmosphere in the US when Yuri Gagarin made his flight. Quite typically for this heavily narcissistic society, it was fear, fear of Soviet Communism taking their fabulous stuff, fear of weaponry launched from space by the Russkies --- in each case, fear whipped up by media, even then, lapdogs of the DOD, CIA et al. This aspect of manufactured fear in service of manufacturing consent is nothing new. It's only that I was too young and naive to really appreciate it back then. What completely blows my mind is that some of my peers who share that deep experience of emotional manipulation seem to never have matured into the realization of how thoroughly they allow their thoughts to be controlled in ongoing fashion. Trump derangement morphs into Putin derangement and so on. What comes next? I'd scream at them to wake TF up, but recognize that all it would achieve is my own marginalization as a Putin puppet. So I speak softly elaborating some history and then beat my head against a wall in frustration, when I get rejected anyway.

OANN is currently showing Ukraine On Fire movie by Oliver Stone today and tomorrow or anyone can download. This is a very accurate depiction of Ukraine and the Nazi / US destruction of Ukraine. This is an excellent movie to watch. It shows the CIAs influence and destruction of Ukraine.
