This is so apropos if one knows Third Reich history. That arrow of history points to the currents idiots afraid of information, who should read a bit of Albert Speer's memoirs. Speer details exactly how afraid Hitler became of real information after the failure of Operation Barbarossa subsequent to the Russian defeat of the Germans at Stalingrad, winter 1942-43. Subsequent events --- accompanied by the needless slaughter of millions --- are testament to a fuehrer who cannot face reality because real information is shunned in favor of the propaganda of sycophants. Today's western fuerhers are firmly entrenched on that path while the nukes languish in pre-launch and the biosphere trembles with extreme anxiety for its health. And ours.
