I'm sick of these shitty little wars. I want a Great Big War with lots of bombs and killings and... stuff. - Jim Morrison

Interestingly enough, Admiral Morrison, Jim's father was responsible for the Gulf of Tonkin incident that started the Vietnam war.

Jim liked to claim his parents were dead.

Ok, as long as you realize it is a metaphor and not an actual physical war where people die.

No, people are being gunned down in the street, and blown up in cars, and burned out of their homes and businesses. War

Treat the victims of WWII with a little bit of respect. Economic wars, information wars, etc. are nothing like the horrors of real war.

even more important than who controls the information, i am more of the opinion that the problem is that we have too much information, we have information overload.

everybody that owns a phone is a news station, we have lost focus, there is too much competition to be the popular news source.

they do overload us with fake news, while also censoring the truth, I think they don't like censoring as much because then it becomes too obvious but sometimes they're forced to like with pizzagate. They didn't like having to censor that because that confirmed it was true but they had no choice as otherwise everyone hates pedos and wants them in jail. Also with 9/11, everyone could sense something was off but it was just too hard to cover up such a big occurrence effectively.
