Was thinking about this, and it's the perfect analogy. With all the misinformation and lies surrounding the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and covid-19 (and countless other stories) is it any wonder that so many people don't trust them?

Now think how dangerous that is in the event of a real crisis. There could be important information that we need and half the population is going to disregard it as they have no credibility.

That's a risk I'm willing to take. I'm not trusting scientists, doctors, climatologists, any kind of expert, or the government ever again. I'm not going to believe someone just because they tell me they are the authority. They'll have to work to convince me they're right.

It's pretty messed up you can't even trust a doctor either. Good point, I should have included the medical community in this.

You ain't lying there, I have a wierd thing that if I throw up I go into aphib. Quick trip to hospital for a shock and good to go. Went 5 yrs in between and this asshole cardiologist wants to load me with meds. Fuck off Doc, your meds will do more damage in those 5 yrs.

And beyond the actual medical treatment, it's a crap shoot what you actually pay for care.

I just read a story where a guy was charged 8k for 4 stitches at an ER. Absolutely insane and obscene.

I cant remember where I heard this maybe off some 4chan video. But it said the best way to destabilize a people is to create distrust in their government/media by creating so much misinformation people don't know what's true, and end up trusting nothing.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false" is attributted to Ex CIA Director Willam Casey.

Have a large book on Casey. Besides that quote (not in there, and I've never been sure if verified), he had some interesting thoughts, and there's even funny moments. His opinion on other intelligence agencies; the Brits practice grade school faggotry, the jews play everyone by nature, the french could be good but too sneaky and distrustful they sabotage themselves.

Then he'd mumble sometimes, maybe on purpose, staff would write notes to each other, 'do you know what the hell he's talking about'.

Dude was a workaholic. Realized the cold war was pretty much over when he saw coke in a communist country - at a time only Pepsi was sold there

Yep, hence the use of the phrase “attributed to”. Maybe the quote was thrown out there himself considering his profession and “brand of humor” for lack of a better term.

If that's the plan it is working.

But that makes me wonder what they are trying to fill that vacuum with.

Call me when it's 70% that distrusts the media. In no way should people be trusting anything coming from the propaganda stations. If we go back to 'word on the street.' it will be a step up from (((word on the street)))

The demoncraps love it this way.
