Re: grisha koshmarov Apr 5 @~1PM PCT One of your latter observations.... "When Trump won in '16 it was Russia (which makes a great second-stage villain when it isn't collapsing and can't be looted by international finance)." ...prompted my recollection of Naomi Klein's excellent book, "THE SHOCK DOCTRINE--The Rise of Disaster Capitalism". No doubt, the fabrication and public propagandizing of Official Enemy constructs is, indeed, a required ingredient of said "neocolonialist power structures".

Will the majority of our citizens actually be able to make a distinction between such a future Official Enemy, and one that may actually socially 'evolve'? As Usual, EA
