A lot of harm is being done lately by assuming things without proof. Someone not being worth listening to or worthy of greater skepticism isn't automatically a chaos actor.

"There are no innocents in the TV press. Every single one of them is a controlled government agent (CIA)." I'm not sure if this is intended as hyperbole, but if it's a serious statement, it's honestly crazy. Literally every single one of them? My neighbor who reports about overturned chicken trailers for the local affiliate? The weather girl? All on the CIA payroll? And this has never leaked out, ever, ever, ever?

A tremendous amount of effective division is being achieved with this narrative of "controlled opposition." I'll wait for explicit proof before I make a final decision about who or what someone is, and I'll recognize that not everyone who is on my side in this struggle is going to look or sound like me.

This makes certain assumptions about the nature of the universe that I'm not prepared to use as a basis for my reasoning, but in that context, I can understand your position.

You can make assumptions on Press journalists based on their employers. Let's say you own CNN. Along I come for a job : I am woke , I am vaccinated to the hilt, and I know that the Russians are evil, and that Fauci was just doing his job >> You're going to hire me ?? No you're not. You are going to subject me to a cognitive analysis test, to see that I can be relied on to be a parrot, and a committed stupid, arrogant parrot .

Agreed, but .. I have only come across Greenwald via Hopkins >> The Greenwald take on the installation of the Nazi Ukraine Government and proxy war and the history is very good.
