Hey OB! Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Go Bengals! Good essay. The saddest defections I know of to the dark side are Ben Norton, Abby Martin & Mike Prysner. They're all about anti-imperialism except in the case of the truckers. The KoolAid put out by the establishment has reinforced the mass psychosis. I do not understand how they cannot see this as the typical divide & conquer strategy used by TPTB forever to distract from class war. I hope they & other supposed Lefties on the wrong side of this issue pull their heads out. Interesting parallel's to smallpox pandemic: https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/what-we-can-learn-from-the-smallpox?r=dvex&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Go Bengals is right, as far as I'm concerned. I do live in Ohio, after all, and the Bengals winning just makes the Browns look better. They did hand the Bengals two of their regular season losses.

I'm really sorry to hear about people like Abby Martin. I think leftists have been swamped with hearing right-wingers cry Freedom and Liberty for so long that they have forgotten the meanings of those words. In this case, the slogans are both appropriate and obvious.

Just goes to show how powerful the media propaganda machine is.
