#1 This is one of our chief challenges today, is to manage information and to do it in a way that average folks at home can know what's real and what isn't,

Literally cries out for a Goebbels graphic. Anyone hear it besides me ?

#2 Some are so delusional they compare the US military to Ghengis Khan.

#3 Oh to be a fly on the wall for the 'transisition meeting' between this delutional fool and Darth Bolton.

Especially when he tries to lecture Bolton on foreign policy.

#4 Yep, Beso. I hear herr Goebels there as well.

The globalists / statists were born in the days of a central media monopoly of the airwaves. The big three owned the narrative and the "facts" and the "truth".

Much easier to control the plebs when there is only one source of information and you control it.

Now? Not so much and as people have heard more from more sources the bubble was broken and can't be put back together again.

I think that in the fullness of time Rathergate will be seen as a major milestone in the destruction of the elite.

#6 My favorite take on "what's real..."

“After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it: "I refute it thus.”

(August 6th 1763, as told in James Boswell’s 'Life of Samuel Johnson, Vol 3'; 1791)

Mr. Kerry probably shouldn't speak ill of his "rice bowl."

#10 Take for instance your face, Kerry. That's not real.
And most people don't know that you are a cartoon character yet.

That may or not be the case, Liveshot, but most of us deplorables can spot fake and phony from a mile away, like certain former Massachusetts Senators who managed to marry two rich widows.

#13 But forget to pay taxes on their yacht that somehow always got parked in Connecticut?

#14 Then there was that time that Liveshot got a free Buick from then local car dealer Bob Brest, skipped the first 16 payments, then claimed he paid the money back. This same car was also the car Kerry was sleeping in before he was elected to the U.S. Senate.

#15 People are very good at spotting what's not real, which is why the MSM is held in so little trust.

#17 Imam Kerry has his own version of Islam. He should explain it to ISIS.
