Remember War Games, that Matthew Broderick movie from the 1980s?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s looking like nuclear war is inevitable, but only a couple of people in the world, among them Broderick\u2019s character himself, are aware of it.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a moment in which he wishes he didn\u2019t know, that he could be just like the rest of mankind, and not have to bear this burden.<\/p>\n

I have to admit:

I am tempted in this direction now and again.<\/p>\n

Case in point:<\/p>\n

The media\u2019s treatment of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Knowing what I know about the warfare state, the establishment, and the media, it\u2019s obvious what they\u2019re trying to do to her.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve done it to other dissidents, and they\u2019ll do it to anyone else who dissents from the War Party.<\/p>\n

Exhibits A and B, posted by folks in my private group:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, from\u00a0Lew Rockwell<\/a>\u00a0and Twitter, some sane commentary on how Tulsi is being treated:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(That\u2019s a reference to Kasie Hunt of NBC News.)<\/p>\n

In other words, ignoramuses are interrogating her, while not actually knowing even the most basic facts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But at its root this isn\u2019t a question of ignorance. Nobody with an IQ above 70 could seriously post those headlines about Russian propaganda. They know what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, people are seriously suggesting that rebuilding or retrofitting every single building in America will actually make us wealthier.<\/p>\n

How did the nuttiness accelerate to this point? It shocks even me.<\/p>\n
