re: Has it always been this fricked up, but they are now exposed for their corruption?

There's always been corruption. I mean the CIA murdered JFK so it's been there a long arse time. But the difference is the internet and social media. They recognized it's potential for mind control and developed it far beyond just that. Right up till Musk bought Twitter out from under them and exposed what they did. Since then it's been straight up panic by the establishment cabal.

When they realized that, they turned up the volume on the MSM propaganda outlets. They have so many ways to recursively support any narrative they want to put forth. Just like what they did to create the Muh Russians narrative. They used five eyes for support. They used the media who would report anything they're told to, then cycle that around enough to where it then becomes 'truth'. Why just look your honor! There's so much smoke the fire is now just a fact, right?

As they get more desperate, they have to pull out the big guns 24/7. Full on fear and panic screamed at you nonstop forever by hairdo counts in designer suits and stage makeup reading what they're told to say. Back in the Walter Cronkite days, that was all you needed to do. The plebes didn't have any other source of news so that was the truth. But now, you can get information from anywhere and they can't stop you. Thus the panic.
