I live in this town called Bastrop, Texas,
And one of the first ones that really caught my eye on this, do you remember the Jade Helm conspiracy?
No.
There was this conspiracy that like, this is during this 2015, so it's during the Obama administration.
They were doing like these big training exercises in like the South and the Southwest.
And this conspiracy theory comes out that like, it's actually this false, it's like this crazy operation where they're gonna like,
I don't know, the federal government was gonna like occupy the southern states.
It was like a faux military training exercise as a pretext to like start a civil war or something.
It was this conspiracy theory that starts online, starts on Facebook.
And one of the exercises was happening in where I live.
And like,
the governor of Texas ends up sending the National Guard to observe the exercises to make sure this didn't happen, as if that could do anything.
But anyways, the point was, it came out in the years after that this was mostly like a foreign sort of...
propagated theory, like, that, like, this thing, some crazy person online said this, and then... It was objected from a foreign influence.
And then, yeah, exactly.
Like, they went and they put energy behind, they put spend behind it and spread it and whatever.
And so it was like, oh, okay, so again, we're so consumed with, like, what we're doing to each other that we don't think about the fact that other people
have an even bigger incentive to get us really focused on this or that.
And so again, countries that are real close to Russia, like Finland, they spend a lot of time teaching media literacy to their kids because they know that it's real and they know that these operations and this agenda is right there all the time.
And I think we live in a bubble
