Welp,
So much for trusting anything over the internet. Oligarghs now own all of the legacy media, the operations we trusted for accurate news for generations, and now have the ability to manipulate independent social medias (like this) toi reach whomever they decide, or suppress them completely.
I was up at Tremont Saturday for opening of trout season. The store is closed. The bathroom was still open, and still clean. That service will end shortly. There's no money for toilet paper. I was laughing about the situation with a couple tourists. "Y'all thought the civil war that's coming was going to have guns and bullets and people shooting at each other, didn't you?" I laughed. This is what it's going to look like. We're going to shut down public bathrooms and hospitals and let nature take it's course. It's a slow ugly way to destroy a nation.
And now, the Fed operates the internet. I've got news for Trump, Iran and Iraq and Pakistan and India aren't going to let the Russians dictate what they do. They all have people working on taking over the inbternet. We've just made ourselves an easier target for our primary enemies.
