My 10 Lessons From the Putin War

 1.  Pretty much any nation could hinder or humiliate Russia.....if they just avoid a tank-versus-tank strategy, and have anti-tank weapons/Stingers in their arsenal.

2.  Russia was probably a 3rd-rate enemy all the way through the 1960s/1970s/1980s/1990s.  Other the nuke thing, they were never at our level.

3.  Putin, on a list of 100 talents.....is missing military strategist.

4.  A billionaire Oligarch guy.....can lose the bulk of his wealth with just one single idiot running the country.

5.  Every time that some idiots said that sanctions don't trigger much pain.....they were BSing you to the extreme. 

6.  A bunch of dead Russian Generals and Colonels....simply opens the door for young guys to replace them.

7.  This uttering of Nazis everywhere....seems comical, but it drives the whole campaign in Russia. 

8.   Russian imperialism....continues on.

9.  There is no such thing as a cheap, or reasonable war or peace.

10.  Yeah, you can screw up a McDonalds business dynamic in such a way to close 850 'fronts'....permanently. 

Ten Things I Think

 1.  The Power Rangers show was the biggest bunch of garbage ever created for kid's entertainment.

2.  These BLM folks who handled the incoming cash flow....seem to have done a awful lot of things that would resemble money-laundering....either accidentally or on purpose.

3.  Facebook freezing hiring right now?  I think they are looking at a 'correction' period about to occur, with social media being demonized (in some weird way, demonetarized).

4.  There's supposed to be some big 'Summit of the Americas' in DC.  The invitations for this?  Well....half of Latin America have not accepted them.  White House sent Jill Biden to engage everyone (over a 6-day trip) to accept and show up.  Kinda funny.....zero respect out of Latin America for Biden's policies and the answer here is to send his wife down.

5. It is rather shocking....scientists/medical folks now say....the biggest problem area for Covid for the 2 years....was misinformation provided by the US federal government.  

6.  Only 78-percent of Americans say the economy is 'BAD'.  This means that 22-percent think it's OK or doing well.  Where are the 22-percent of people?  That really becomes a big question.

7.  I believe by 2025, the category 'women' won't exist.  The term 'people' will fill their void.  Women in general....will be shaking their heads and unable to reason how they disappeared from the landscape.

8.  Get used to the term 'Mobocracy'.  

9.  I think if you gave everyone a chance to enter the Doctor Strange 'multiverse'....more than 50-percent of Americans would readily volunteer to leave this universe/timeline, and venture somewhere else.

10.  There's some odd belief growing in the US that there's more racism existing today (2022) than in the 1920s.  

Why Would You Need A Government Disinformation To 'Save' You?

 For about a month, I've pondered over this Homeland Security invention....the Disinformation Governance Board.  This past week (week three since admitting it exists).....the WH (not Homeland Security apparently) dumped the 'boss' and has gone to some underground stage.

Disinformation....for the sake of this discussion....is the willful act of telling you something (fake news, false facts) to convince you of something (leading you to an agenda).

I tend to argue that prior to the internet/social media era.....we had a marginal problem (probably for the past 200 years).  Most people who came out of the 1960s/1970s.....up until social media/fake news....could review a story, and just measure the fakeness....coming to a decision that it was incorrect.  But this was based off just having newspapers, news magazines, and a limited amount of TV.

I would also argue that over the past two decades.....news content has more than doubled, and in some cases.....people are blitzed three to four hours a day.  In some cases, even around the office now.....you get news-blitzed.  Driving to/from work, you get blitzed.  And even in your local church.....you get blitzed.

 In simple terms......you are blasted way too much....to be able to discern disinformation on your own.  

The government pretending it can resolve this?  The minute that we reach some level where their 'truth' is fake....the entire reason for the board goes away.  

If you wanted a training module to recognize fake news or disinformation?  I would suggest watching all of the 317 episodes of South Park.  Even a 12-year old kid could gain a fair amount of reference by watching the cartoon.  In particular, I'd suggest watching the ManBearPig episode.

At some point before the end of 2022....I think the board will resurface and be a major part of the Biden 'brand'.  As for trusting the disinformation board?  It'll never happen.
