Russia and China aren’t coming at us with bombs (today!). Why use bombs when they can divide our country with the blatant lies they are spreading — so that we will do their dirty work for them. And it is working very well.

Listening to regular folks every day whose brains and very souls are being corrupted by the deviousness of our adversaries’ dangerous plans, especially before this very important election.

Educate yourselves. Yuval Noah Harari’s new book, “Nexus,” explains how we have come to this point of believing lies because they are more exciting than truths. They are still lies.
