Oh, also regarding defectors. Most that you hear about are monetizing their story through USA backed Libertarian think tanks. Atlas Network being the big one. Freedom Factory is another if I remember correctly.

i swear. Propaganda, propaganda everywhere. We talk about America having “free speech” but it feels like the only ones able to speak and have their voices heard are the ones that are able to buy their way into the ears of millions through social media and mainstream media.

I see you've listened to Blowback, have you had the opportunity to watch Yellow Parenti yet?
