What they know is this-
People will believe what they want to be true, a lot of them even after it is 100% proven to be false.
Both sides do it, but one side has firmly decided to embrace evil while the other side is 85% still playing the same old game of political self-enrichment, except for a very few who are trying to save a sinking ship. There are not enough good, honest people left in the system to save it.
I hope I'm wrong, but at this point the evil in the world has a pretty strong head of steam. If china moves to take Taiwan, this whole thing will spiral out of control.. Why wouldn't they? They have wanted to take Taiwan for decades, they have to see what we all see. We are now caught up in 2 wars, we have depleted a large amount of our military hardware reserves along with a large amount of the strategic oil reserve. We have a shit for brains sock puppet as president who just awarded 100 million dollars to fucking Hamas, so we are funding both sides of that war now. Biden says he sent it to Gaza, but Gaza is totally owned and controlled by Hamas. The Lake City ammunition plant (the largest in the world) has just cut off commercial sales, which is a sure sign we have a big problem. I've not seen that happen before, even when we were in the last war.
A good friend of mine has a son on the USS Gerald Ford, we had a sobering conversation the other night about the potential large scale consequences of a very few individuals who could make this whole thing get very ugly in a matter of days...
Time will tell, but things are not looking good for anyone at the moment..
