STOP THE PRESSES! STOP THE PRESSES! Here’s a shocker, comrades: Google’s ranks are filled with CIA officers! in c/[email protected]

Pretty much everytime something groundbreaking happens, Google manually adjusts the search results so that only the official narrative or the approved sources show up.

Man, the CIA has a huge workforce.

Lately I've been thinking about how absolutely crazy America must look to the outside world. in c/[email protected]

I'm a Navy veteran myself, and the amount of brainwashed useful idiots and just outright dangerous people I saw was staggering. Not just impressionable kids either, it's usually the older guys and gals who you think would be smart enough to see through it.

I've met incels who think Dems are scared of guns and feminism is ruining everything, I've met a guy who was personally offended when the Pope came to the US and said "Hey maybe things aren't that great here" back in 2016 or so, I've heard stories of old men who buy into the propaganda so utterly that they think every American war is a matter of "Good vs Evil." Most recently, I knew an authoritarian bootlicker who was both a terrible sailor and a gun nut. So every time he came in late to work we assumed that he was getting one of his guns that he never shut up about and was getting ready to shoot up the office.

A lot of casual racism and sexism too, in fact it's even encouraged. Every port call in a foreign country calls for you to treat the locals like a threat and cheating is rampant (but only a problem when it's a woman that cheats, I noticed.)

Lately I've been thinking about how absolutely crazy America must look to the outside world. (lemmygrad.ml)
 

We live in a country that is so bloodthirsty that it has not only been involved in wars around the world for 80-90% of it's existence, but there are mass shootings being perpetuated every week or so with no end in sight. We're so desperate to kill one another that it's not even safe to go a grocery store.

But at the exact same time, the laws that allow this state of affairs to continue aren't used for their intended purpose. The 2nd Amendment is supposed to be for stopping the government from becoming tyrannical, but the ones who seem to champion it the most are the tyrants. Rights get taken away, protesters get brutalized but nothing ever really escalates like in other places. We all just decided to stop caring and move on within a week, mostly to keep our oppressors from clamping down even harder.

Sometimes it feels like the U.S. is a land full of hostages. Where the few hold the power and their armies of well paid thugs are encouraged to crush any resistance.

It's almost like they want to keep us distracted or something. (lemmygrad.ml)

Remember how the media (probably accidentally) revealed that the Ukranians were hiding munitions and soldiers inside of civilian areas? This seems like another instance where the civilian casualties were planned to make Russia look bad.

Uvalde Hires Private Law Firm to Argue It Doesn’t Have to Release School Shooting Public Records (www.vice.com)
 

So at this point, even the most conservative talking head has to admit that the police are covering something up.

So I have a few guesses

  1. Uvalde police shot at least one kid, probably multiple.
  2. The police are trying to keep the identity of whoever gave the order for them to stand around under wraps
  3. Because the school in question was majority latino, radio chatter was abuzz with racial slurs or "jokes"

So about all these shootings... (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Predictably, all the conspiracy nuts and conservatives are quick to assume that it's all a plot by some 3 letter agency complete with crisis actors and hundreds of people involved but also sworn to silence.

Whenever I see Americans on the internet talking about how every mass shooting that gets in the news is "obviously" a false flag operation, I have to believe that this is what a dying society looks like: People who need to convince themselves that bad things simply don't happen naturally and it's all a plan by some impossibly omnipotent government force to make them into slaves.

Do you guys think something similar?

Uvalde police, school district no longer cooperating with Texas probe of shooting (abcnews.go.com)
 

Starting to look like the cops did something worse than not responding. Starting to look like they shot a few of the kids and are trying to bury it.
