I read the school Sandy Hook was closed thus fake. Increasingly the fakery called reality is being revealed. On the other hand our effete epoch was nurtured on fakery. Fortune Magazine ads from the 30's are truly amazing in light of today. Direct communication to businessmen. I worked in my Jr. College library for one year and entertained myself browsing magazines. Fortune was one. Two ads remain in my mind. One, Grade AAA consumer was depicting a boy on a Tri-Cycle. The other ad, for the new tin can, guys fishing in a mountain lake drinking beer and tossing the cans in the water. Now this cursory review was in 1974. Around 1984 I discovered From Those Wonderful Folks Who Gave You Pearl Harbor by Jerry Della Femina. His irreverent, tongue-in-cheek take on the advertising industry and how it has evolved. From the back cover: "I refuse to apologize for telling the truth about advertising, and if it offended some people, that's just too bad." He became more famous for the Isuzu commercials running the caption at the bottom of the ad: "He's lying."

Doubt they need microwaves Ray. TV and Internet works just fine. Of course in the spirit of hey let's see if - why not! After Covid vaccine uptake worked so well throwing more money into total mind control is a no brainer.

Edwin have you read Mary Chestnut's Civil War? Mary Chesnut was born on March 31, 1823, on her maternal grandparents' plantation, called Mount Pleasant, near Stateburg, South Carolina, in the High Hills of Santee. Her parents were Stephen Decatur Miller (1788–1838), who had served as a U.S. Representative, and Mary Boykin (1804–85). In 1829 her father was elected governor of South Carolina and in 1831 as a U.S. senator. The family then lived in Charleston. Mary was the oldest of four children; she had a younger brother Stephen and two sisters: Catherine and Sarah Amelia. https://archive.org/details/marychesnutscivi0000ches_e3r3

I was more a Great War guy. Though in my college history class I wrote a fine paper on Operation Sea Lion. Based on what you have read how do you take Suvorov's take on Russia readying for war with Germany and being astonished Germany struck first? A book I have read by the two KGB men responsible for the idea of the Spetznatz-while in jail no less-one of whom was quite close to Stalin was mute. The officer did say he saw signs of Stalin being concerned. Others have.
