I Wish This All Were Fiction, by Davin Michael Stedman

Here’s a tip on how Putin’s propaganda machine works…brilliantly. They overload individuals and the media’s ability to eliminate and process information with simultaneous and conflicting stories.

It works really well now that we are already in a confusing and distrusting state of chaos and noise. You shoot down an airliner for instance…

Then you have bots, trolls, and your Kremilin media outlets, and your officials and surrogates all release conflicting narratives.

We saw Russia clearly getting behind Bernie in 2016, but then there is chaos when “Bernie Bros” start harassing unionists. Confusion is the key. We are simple creatures that have to believe that someone is either for or against you.

But you get gaslit by people you perceive as your friends.

The gaslighting that has happened on social media is Statecraft…and treason.

The masterplay is building someone up to bring them down. Putin is likely trying to set up the showdown he wants between Bernie and Trump because of the gamesmanship that Americans are too simple to process the socialism of The New Deal that saved us, and exists in our daily life.

But this where the road splits. Is it your fault an enemy favors you for a fall, or are you in on it and carrying the ball?

What do you do, when they want you to know? And who wants you to know?

Bernie trying to address this as he was drilled tactically by Mayor Pete, the spook himself, in that last debate was…

Epic.

We live in a world where the DNC and RNC servers were hacked and Putin brilliantly played KGB chief and used the info against the DNC with plenty of Red Herrings then blackmailed the GOP collectively and individually.

The GOP doesn’t even know what Putin knows. And Trump’s base believes this didn’t even happen as they reposted leaks themselves.

It’s going to be a rough ride. We are in the mouth of a viper and the poison is in us.

I am voting for Bernie Sanders because I know the Great Game and that showdown will backfire if Bernie wins. And he can if the Center holds. Because it’s their turn not to be b☆llshit or bust.

But Putin has already won. Trump in 4 years gave him more than he could have hoped for. We are worse off than we were in 2013 and our economy is as fake to the working class as Trump saluting an American flag.

Your enemy of your enemy is not your friend. The herd mentality of our race, the human race will destroy us all, and social media is not your friend. It is a tool of despots, and a beautiful way to identify the best, the worst, and the easiest to manipulate among us.

If you understood anything I said, give me a like. And remember, the cluster of conflicting stories is The Tell, and it’s quite a web.

Bond is dead and now the Villain sings, ‘Nobody Does it Better’.

Don’t believe me? Who made all those memes to make MAGA identify themselves as The Joker and any other cruel bully they can cling to disassociate themselves with bootlicking the jackboots of our Orange faced fool?
