Well isn't this just apt. Published yesterday on Off Guardian:

"It is easy to be distracted right now by the bread and circus politics that have dominated the news headlines lately, but don’t be distracted.

Don’t be fooled, not even a little.

We’re being subjected to the oldest con game in the books, the magician’s sleight of hand that keeps you focused on the shell game in front of you while your wallet is being picked clean by ruffians in your midst.

This is how tyranny rises and freedom falls.

What characterizes American government today is not so much dysfunctional politics as it is ruthlessly contrived governance carried out behind the entertaining, distracting and disingenuous curtain of political theater. And what political theater it is, diabolically Shakespearean at times, full of sound and fury, yet in the end, signifying nothing.

We are being ruled by a government of scoundrels, spies, thugs, thieves, gangsters, ruffians, rapists, extortionists, bounty hunters, battle-ready warriors and cold-blooded killers who communicate using a language of force and oppression.

The US government now poses the greatest threat to our freedoms.

More than terrorism, more than domestic extremism, more than gun violence and organized crime, even more than the perceived threat posed by any single politician, the US government remains a greater menace to the life, liberty and property of its citizens than any of the so-called dangers from which the government claims to protect us.

No matter who has occupied the White House in recent years, the Deep State has succeeded in keeping the citizenry divided and at each other’s throats.

After all, as long as we’re busy fighting each other, we’ll never manage to present a unified front against tyranny in any form."

Smoke and mirrors. They're messing with our heads all the time:

"With police in Nashville now saying they won’t release details of the manifesto left behind by the transgender-identified individual who shot up a Christian school, the media now appears to be settling on the explanation that there is “no known motive” behind the attack."

https://summit.news/2023/03/29/media-settles-on-no-known-motive-narrative-behind-transgender-school-shooting/

This after the MSM strongly insinuated that it WAS a case of 'tranny terrorism' and the alt media and conservative media willingly hopped aboard the narrative. Why won't the police reveal details of the manifesto? Either because it demonstrates the attack was NOT motivated by the perpetrator's alleged transgender status or it reveals it WAS, in which case there is supposedly a risk of a 'backlash' against the transgender 'community'. We're adults. We just need the bloody truth so we can make up our own minds, and we're not necessarily going to go round killing people, targeting 'communities' and hating certain people just because one nutter walked into a school with a loaded gun and murdered innocent people. Depriving people of the truth, constantly, and inviting endless speculation IS what drives some people nuts. You only have to surf social media to see how.
