I was sitting in a cottage off the coast of Maine last year with some old, dear friends. They are deeply entrenched in the NYT, and obviously take their marching orders from The Paper of Record. I used to be aligned with them—we were anti-war, pro-democracy, believed in the inalienable rights enumerated in the Constitution… One friend said to the group, “if you had a magic bullet that would kill one person, who would it be?” “Putin” was one knee-jerk response, “DeSantis” another. I was dumbstruck. One might disagree with DeSantis’ policies, but to want him dead? This is what the “Liberal Left” has become—a bunch of cowards who want a magic bullet to careen around killing everyone they disagree with, while they hide behind the Strong Man du jour. I am still anti-war, and pro-Constitution. The only thing that’s changed in my life are the monikers people use to identify themselves.

Come to Greece. A lot more people are aware of the almost complete absurdity of the american presidential theatre. Not as deluded by the mind control, the blinding myth of american exceptionalism and other psychological operations that have been relentlessly deployed on americans for the last sixty or more years. For example, most people that I randomly discuss politics with are well aware that JFK's death was a coup, that the official story of 9/11 is a scam, etc. Most people here are incredulous what a joke America has become: The land of the deaf, dumb, and blind. But other than that, how was the meal?
