RE: BRUTALLY HONEST: We've been fighting World War III for some time now... perhaps since World War II
I could not agree more.
I have always said that the Cold War did not end, since it did not explode, the nuclear bombs did not allow that to happen, it simply evolved into what it is today. A constant struggle against neo-Marxism and its zombies who want more State.
Propaganda has incredible power, absolutely incredible, and the worst is when the facts are totally corrupted by propaganda.
I will give you an example, in Venezuela today there has not been a massive insurrection because the State manages the information flows of people, controls all channels and radios in the country (including private), and blocks dissenting websites. I would swear with my life, that if the State did not have a single channel endorsing its management, the socialist government had already fallen, because it does not have support.
Many people, upset with the government, continue to be informed by public channels such as VTV and Telesur, which promote harsh and blatant propaganda, and even lie deliberately. And many other opponents are reported by private channels like Globovisión (which owns the brother of a government minister).
The only thing that differentiates the United States and Europe at present is that in the first there is a large group of people who refuse at all costs to drop their weapons, these people are saving the West, why the United States falls, Europe and all the countries pro-Western also fall.
In Venezuela, only the State has arms, and they have abused power in almost all opposition demonstrations. While they are in the first world they must remember, even if they say no, the governments of the world, all, want to be like Venezuela, because in spite of the crisis and the economic situation, the government completely controls the country, and the only thing which makes him tremble at present, is that his support is almost nil.
