The KGB's Influence on American Soil.

Many Americans are horrified to acknowledge the depth of the KGB's influence, especially in US culture, but also elsewhere. It wounds their national pride and beckons their imaginations with the terrifying threat of exposing them to the label of "conspiracy theorists." The biggest proof of abnormality is the obsessive desire to appear normal under all circumstances. Communists know that they have instilled this disease in the minds of the American elite and that they can paint and embroider at will because the more brazen they are, the less they risk being exposed. Obama would never have reached the presidency if the forged documents coup hadn't been too grotesque for powdered conservatism to consent to descend from its pedestal of normality to denounce it. These people would rather be destroyed than be weird, even for a few minutes.

The originator of chickpea conservatism was William Buckley, who at least had the excuse of actually being a chickpeas by birth. Buckley was never a shit, but he'd rather be shot in the head than say something that sounded crazy.

This compulsive normality complex was born out of Buckley's fight with the John Birch Society, who said things that seemed crazy but that we now know were the pure truth.

Iranian drone factory hit in Israeli air strike

Photos show the Mississippi River is so low that it's grounding barges, disrupting the supply chain, and revealing a 19th-century shipwreck

Hacker group, Anonymous, has found that Iran's Ministry of Intelligence, currently designated hostile and sanctioned by the US, is hosted by the same American company (ITC, Information Technology Company) that also hosts websites of the US Departments of Treasury, Airforce, Army, and a few more.

I looked them up, and it's true. Help me make sense of this, because I am lost.

Why do Putin and the Republican Party sound so much alike? Simple: Their culture wars have a similar goal.

Putin, Trump, Carlson, and America’s right seek to manufacture fears of “the other” to distract from where all the wealth and power have gone…all the way to the top.

Corporations are using inflation to justify price hikes. They’re using their record profits to buy back shares of their own stock and boost share prices.

This amounts to an upward transfer of wealth from the wallets of working people into the pockets of CEOs and shareholders.
