It is amazing at how well they did for "buying bonds" with their use of information they had for the war. Today, it does not surprise me at how mush they are in cahoots. The shame of it all is how sometimes they make our soldiers look like bad guys by changing things to suit their narrative.

United States bombed Libya in 1986. Original Top Gun released in 1986. I joined the Air Force in 1986. Coincidence? Hmmm…
Actually, I was already planning to join the Air Force before the bombing or the movie.

The 9/11 and 24 correlation rings very true, looking back at it now. We were being programmed to take a particular stance and we didn't even know it and cheered it on.
Mister Dice has a very good point.

Absolutely. Information is power. So is disinformation.

Mark Dice makes some of the best conservative content on youtube right now. That video really made me think of what I thought of the war on terror and the TV show 24.
Even some of his other videos on Bohemian Grove made me think even though a lot of people dismiss them as pure speculative conspiracy theory.

This is something I realized too on TV. It actually makes me a bit angry to see three FBI shows back-to-back-to-back each week depicting good (FBI) vs evil (bad guy of the week). Not that it doesn't happen somewhat in real life but completely omit their political bias and corruption. I guess you wouldn't expect them to promote that part anyway. Every time I see these shows I think "pure propaganda with heavy governmental influence".

I wonder about shows like "I dream of Jeannie" which made the space program look really cool so we would keep happily sending tax money toward NASA. I wonder if "Lost in Space" and "Star Trek (TOS)" had the same purpose. Or might have just been a coincidence based on the era.
I had heard years ago that Dragnet and Adam-12 were designed by Jack Web to give LAPD the image of being the perfect big city department.

Come back down to Earth, Buck Rogers.
The only purpose of I Dream of Jeannie was to fulfill male fantasies of one of the finest foxes of the 1960s, bouncing around in a harem outfit and calling her live-in boyfriend "Master" and to give 9 year old boys their first glimpse of those perfect melons.

Current skuttlebutt or conspiracy theory is that the OceanGate situation was used by the government to cover for several negative press releases regarding Hunter Biden, Joe, and several other items during the "rescue" portion of the operation while they knew the sub was destroyed on Sunday.
The same day, a May 26 testimony by IRS agent turned whistleblower Gary Shapley to the House Ways and Means Committee by Gary Shapley was released. In the deposition, Shapley alleged that Hunter Biden had used his father's political stature to pressure a Chinese official. Neither Biden has publicly commented on the testimony.
It came after top House Republicans vowed to investigate the overseas business dealings of Hunter and the Biden family, including allegations that his father used his public role as then-vice president to influence them.
Earlier in the week, the Department of Justice charged Hunter Biden with failure to pay income tax and the illegal possession of a weapon. In an agreement reached with his lawyers, prosecutors allowed him to plead guilty to a misdemeanor tax offense while avoiding another charge, provided he adheres to conditions set by a court.
It may or may not be accurate, however, it's not out of the realm of possibilities for this crew in DC...
