“To market official truth so at variance with reality, or engineer consent to policies that mock American values, or to bypass public opinion altogether, government (& Media) must now so thoroughly miss-inform the public as to poison the wellspring of democracy”

All the stores I saw had full parking lots, hardly any available baskets and lines at all check-out stations. It was inconvenient to do regular shopping as the extra Christmas shoppers were filling up the isles. The propaganda machine is blaring loud and I do not believe it.
