Two years ago Easter I wrote this rant in frustration. After re-reading it last week I realized how PTSD has been a factor over time:

It’s so much of it that is psyops in large part for as far back as I can remember;

Truman defeats Dewey, Yellow Peril, McCarthy, cold war warms up, Eisenhower over Stevenson, Operation Mockingbird, Sputnik, Kruschev’s shoe pounding, birth of NASA, Nixon’s Checkers speech, Camelot, Bay of Pigs operation, CIA, Operation Northwoods, Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy assassination, Oswald, Ruby, CIA, Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard, Gulf of Tonkin incident, McNamara & Johnson’s Vietnam war escalations, War on Poverty, The New Society, King assassination, James Earl Ray, Tet Offensive, 2nd Kennedy assassination, Sirhan Sirhan, The Selling of the President 1968, Kissinger & Nixon’s Vietnam disasters, My Lai Massacre, George HW Bush heads CIA, Air America, golden triangle finds US homes, winning hearts and minds, CIA, Secret War in Cambodia, Nixon’s War on Crime, Mexican heroin epidemic, Project Intercept, Wounded Knee 2, the Martha Mitchell Effect, Watergate, national protests/public opinion shift forces end of war, Ford’s pardon, Ford’s War on Inflation, College of Americas, CIA, Carter Administration feels heat from all sides, inflation runs wild, fall of US puppet Shah, Iran Hostage crisis, Khomeini, Reagan swept into office on rightward shift of electorate, wages begin 30-year erosion, removal of Fairness Doctrine, PACs, lobbyists increase influence over both parties, deregulation, eternal tax cuts for the few begin, War on Drugs, covert wars in Central America, CIA, Ollie North, Iran-Contra/Ollie North Israeli weapons, cocaine, Lebanon barracks bombing, unquestioned US support for South Africa/apartheid, Israel/Palestinian occupation in UN votes, AIDS, homelessness, crack epidemic, Bohemian Grove, Carn-St. Germain, Savings & Loan disaster, Resolution Trust Corporation, cold war begins to end with Gdansk/Walenska, ends with collapse of Berlin Wall, Yeltsin faces down uprising, Intifada, Bush 41’s Desert Storm, Bush v Saddam, Read My Lips Loses, Black Hawk Down, 1st World Trade Center bombing, USS Cole bombing, embassy bombing, John Tower dies, Ron Brown dies, Murrah Building bombing in OKC, Ruby Ridge, Waco Branch Davidians, Contract on America, Monica’s stained dress, opposition to & interventions in Bosnia-Herzegovenia ethnic cleansing, repeal of Glass-Steagall, John Kennedy Jr. dies, Ariel Sharon “visits” Temple Mount, Intifada, 2000 Republican riot at recount in Florida, Scalia court decision in Gore v Bush, 9/11, CIA, Bush 43’s illegal wars, War on Terrorism, Strategy of Tension, permanent reinstatement of military industrial complex, transformation of surplus into deficits, disaster capitalism, shock doctrine, attack on 2-party system, consolidated media ownership, ideological cleansing of US bureaucracy and government departments, Paul Wellstone dies, “no civil wars” in middle east, “no recession,” in US, endless tax cuts planned, one party dominance planned, endless war planned for middle east, insurance, banks/Dow Jones collapse just before elections, inevitable Obama win, relentless attacks on Obama’s efforts to revive economy from 30+ years of bipartisan abuse...


Like I said I now see how it actually has been a bit of PTSD building up over a lifetime and it made me tired just to read it again. It has been an eventful half-century plus, eh?
