JK2006	Yes but I don't think it is all deliberate. I think, often, they simply do not understand how media works. That's why their "vaccine has stopped Covid" story is completely carried and hyped by media instead of the fact that most of the vulnerable have died, which impacts present and future deaths. Neither is completely the truth; both are ingredients. Likewise "Putin is mad" may be partly true but there is much more to it. Media - enamoured of the "we are all about to die" story - seems to ignore the fact that the current death rate in "the war" is 106 people. After a week. And as a result we can all be certain that, inspired by media coverage, it will get far, far worse - with THOUSANDS of dead - almost all caused by media coverage and reaction to it.
Wyot	The number of people who can't see that NATO expansion in Ukraine was a strategic error AND that Putin's invasion is morally wrong is actually mind-blowing. The majority can no longer think, just react. This scares me almost as much as the nuclear potential we are currently living with. You see it everywhere now. It was evident with Covid, to take one example, where questioning the need and sense of restrictions was conflated with questioning whether Covid could kill people. It is quite deliberately done by those in power and has come to be mistaken for thinking by most people. It is so scary because propaganda becomes the new God; 24-7 on rolling media. Controlling you through your phone. 1984. Took a bit longer than Orwell thought, but it is here.

Wyot	Wonderful stories starting to come in of Russian soldiers refusing to fight their brother Slavs in Ukraine and handing weapons over. Gov workers resigning in Moscow in huge numbers. Hope this is all true. * Soldiers thinking for themselves! How is a dictator supposed to operate these days! Bring back the good old days *
