Americans are the most propagandized people in the entire world, and they don’t have any idea that they are. You know, at least people in China know they’re being propaganda. The people in the old Soviet Union knew it was propaganda. People in America turn on Anderson Cooper, turn on Rachel Maddow, Sean Hannity, they think they’re getting the truth. They really do. Don’t you think it’s a little weird when Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow are saying the exact same thing about Ukraine? Don’t you think that’s weird? …
They don’t fire you for lying about wars. They don’t, they fire you for telling the truth about the wars. And that’s just same reason why Julian Assan was in prison. He wasn’t in prison because he lied about the war machine. He was in prison because he told the truth. And that’s what people need to realize. When I have these conversations with my own liberal friends from Hollywood, the ones who still talk to me, and I’ll say, is there anything you hear on cable news that you don’t believe is there anything? And you know what? They never say anything back. They never say, Well, I don’t believe that. They never say anything. They just change the subject or move on to something else.
You really think they’re just accepting the whole sandwich, yes, just swallowing without chewing.
The beginning of the end for me, was when I wouldn’t go along with Hillary Clinton because I’ve always been a liberal progressive and I supported Bernie Sanders. I thought we were really close to doing something at that convention in 2016 and Philadelphia. I was there, and you walked into the convention hall, and half the people in there wanted to overthrow the Democratic establishment. Half the people there wanted to get corporate money out of politics. And there was lots of friction. …It really felt like we were about to do something right. And then I went to the last convention, just this year in Chicago, and it was like a Stepford’s Wives convention. It was brainwashed, brain dead, go alongs. Nobody had a thought in their head. There’s cheering on billionaires and cheering on the war machine. And it was gross. CIA director, billionaires on stage. You had, you know, Pritzker, come on stage. “I’m a real billionaire.” And people are cheering. Is this the Democratic Party? The Democratic Party?
It, honestly, it depressed me to the point of almost tears. And I would go up to people, I would go up to delegates, and I would say, Does it bother you that the party who is putting democracy on the ballot threw out 14 million ballots and installed Kamala Harris? And to a person, they would all say, there was a process. She followed the process. They didn’t care. Nobody cared. They didn’t care that she didn’t get a vote. They don’t care that they threw out the guy who did get a vote. They didn’t care that they were lied to about his mental, his dementia for years. ..
