1970s recession, nyc bankrupcy... syria...trump


so far, there is post vietnam inner city violence, heroin flooding the cities shown but not mentioned as the root of white flight.. middle class peeps were taxpayers, so when they left, the city collapsed financially, and w/o a gov't bailout, austerity measures only made social conditions worse.
meanwhile, me-decade ex-radicals just watched everything burn.  all the movements for change just died.

the market as alternate to politics, the imaginary numbers game, the imaginary world of cyberspace, and Reagan's imaginary terrorist madman Gaddafi..

syria intel  perf rome attacks c. 84/85 as det. by italy, usa blames libya.

a 🔑 to stability.
the next 🔑= prozac all over the same town.
the third stability 🔑 is reflection in an individualistic age, a program called Eliza, AI, that subbed for a talk therapist "intelligent agent"
agents and finance were stabilizing the world.
the fall of democracy to stability had a dangerous outcome.
film sbows marla wedding ftg over allusion to ivana..

montage of human faces looking up at kaiju aliens whatever blowing up pre 911 structures from pre-2001 movies.
why would someone  from mi6 watch the rock and report it as fact? even after noting the similarities? movie alleges bush and blair just wanted pretext that badly. which--duh. then use gaddafi as new bff via perception mgmt.

all westerners, banksters, rads stupid, but russkies R SMRT! 70s dissidents wound up putting putin in power...okay. surkov=endless gaslighting of the public in constant opposition
( i look at trump and i do not see anything but idiotic manipulation, and i wonder if a russian would not also be more dismissive of surkov's tactics than curtis as well.  i mean reagan won elections too, but that doesn't make the people who helped him geniuses.  and trump won the electoral college, not the popular vote.  the electoral college was used during slavery to give slave states a bigger say in the vote w/o allowing their human rights violations questioned for not letting slaves vote..)

surkov credited with destabilized perception, al suri named as scattered strategist of paris style attacks
BREXIT!
