Pity the poor deep staters …
When it comes to civilian mind control, they thought their clever creation
of the internet would be enough to benumb the citizenry to deeper depths of
nonparticipatory democracy (yes, only 55 percent of voting-age citizens voted
in 2016 http://cnn.it/2nj9KbW), promoting
time-sucking entertainments that have the welcome effect of diminishing respect
for such evils as government and serious news media.
Then along come the Russians. Who, during World War II, or
so the CIA believed, were “engaged
in a wide-ranging program of testing LSD. It genuinely thought that the Soviets
might develop mind-control drugs and turn every American into an obedient, communist
zombie. One CIA officer testified that he and his colleagues were ‘literally
terrified’ at the prospect.” (Preceding is from a recent cover article
by Time magazine, http://ti.me/2nOOcSn).
Now the
Russians are at it again. Turning the free internet against us. This time, as
this week’s testimony by the FBI director (you know, the guy who more than any
single government official is responsible for turning the tide against Hillary
in that 2016 election that drew the weakest voter turnout in twenty years)
makes clear, the deep staters won’t stop until the Russians get the hell out of
our internet.
I take the
subway every workday in New York City. I walk the streets, see the dulled eyes of
folks in their internet addiction.
Hey, Russia,
back off. They’re OUR zombies.
