Thank you for the analysis and sharing the link to the paper. It's pretty loud and clear, the 81% pre-existing t cell response statement, in the up front summary.
Geezus.
Asimov, my tin foil hat, "this IS a conspiracy", is that, well, it is not even hidden behind the curtain anymore. Kind of gets to my statement, "the coup has already happened....a while ago".
I was following a rabbit hole last night and it took me to a discussion of the Smith-Mundt Act, and the 2012 rewriting of that to allow domestic propaganda (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith%E2%8.... ).
As I wracked my brain over the last year while hearing the lies lies lies, well, the only thing that makes sense is the use of some psy-ops domestically, but openly and stupidly, and trying to pivot from tin foil territory, it is simply a grab for power and money by our politicians, our state/federal security agency actors, the very wealthy folks running corporations. So - coup in the sense we've morphed into a quasi fascist state of big corporations aligned with our federal and sometimes state gov't.
But I digress. This is a great paper because it has the gravitas that allows it to be shared with folks who are definitely heavy Kool Aid consumers.
We're in a real fix.
