BADecker, another trick that those psychopaths use to cover their crimes is "careful, this is gonna hurt you more than me".
Back in the day, they figured that fully disclosing the Iran-Contra scams would be "too painful for the American People". Sounds kind of unlikely but they got away with it for some mysterious reasons. Maybe they´ll try that one again when and if the 9/11 mess blows up in their faces.
The Internet is allowing information to spread far and wide. Is this something that
they have done? Or is it simply something
they didn't see coming?
Like the man said, it´s difficult to predict especially about the future.
It´s difficult even for nutballs in charge of one-party systems. They rely to a great extent on the control of information and therefore creation of reality. It´s all about perception. So, it´s a big problem now when almost nobody takes their shills in garbage media and politics seriously anymore. Just read the comments sections of garbage media outlets. It´s amazing. I never dreamt say a decade ago that this would happen so soon.
Saw it coming? I doubt that they imagined 25 years ago that in less than a generation everybody in the world would have access to the whole world basically in the palm of their hand. It´s a huge shift of control. Just look at the power vacuum in the United States. It´s gotten so bad that they can´t even scam the ongoing war scams on anymore, much less get new scams going. It´s definitely a crisis for a system that relies on war scams. And of course people like Putin and Trump have been quick to jump in to exploit that vacuum. We´ll see where that goes.
I think that the system or machine in charge that almost nobody takes seriously anymore will refuse to adapt until maybe when nobody at all whatsoever listens to them. In the meantime I guess they hope that their darling nutball Hillary can turn things around. If they can´t con her with her nutcase entourage in tow to the White House I don´t know, maybe they´ll flee to Paraguay and just leave the mess they created behind.
