This is just my attempt at rationalizing the incredible role reversal we are witnessing.  I mean, really!  It is now legal for the governmental agencies to do propaganda withing the USA.  Check this article from July 2013 in RT:

Domestic Propaganda:  "It’s being branded by proponents as an attempt at transparency, but critics of a new law say the United States government just got the green-light to use propaganda made for foreign audiences on the American public."

Then we know from a whistle blower that the:

"Pentagon Paid PR Firm Over $500 Million to Create Fake Terrorist Videos"

"Given these events, one must begin to ask why there was a need for propaganda and PR in the first place. What is the motivation? Does it seem unsettling that government and military operations have to go to such lengths to get the public on their side"

Then in September 2015, from Consortium News, we have:

US/NATO Embrace Psy-ops and Info-War

"The U.S. government and NATO have entered the Brave New World of “strategic communications,” merging psy-ops, propaganda and P.R. in order to manage the perceptions of Americans and the world’s public"

Knowing this it just makes me think... is this relentless campaign to pin Clinton's loss on the Russians, despite the mounting reports by whistle blowers and others , and here, and here, and here, demonstrating that the information came through an insider.  It was a "leak" (9. to disclose secret, especially official, information anonymously, as to the news media:  The official revealed that he had leaked to the press in the hope of saving his own reputation), not a "hack" (7.b. to circumvent security and break into (a network, computer, file, etc.), usually with malicious intent: Criminals hacked the bank's servers yesterday.)  Yet, the campaign continues.  Now that the Intel agencies have briefed Trump and the public on the Russian campaign to derail Hillary's presidential effort, it turns out, again, that they are not giving any evidence to prove their claim.  (I like Sputniks response to the report:

US Intel Report: 'RT & Sputnik Are Being Accused of Doing Journalism')  It's like evidence does not matter.  How can that be?

  

Are we witnessing "domestic propaganda" in action?

And more importantly, how would we know?

Isn't this what we supposedly fought the Soviets for?  Isn't this a complete role reversal from what we were told we were fighting for?  How did that happened?

Beats me.  But I like the Maya view of the end of an epoch and the beginning of the next, in which everything changes.  Perhaps that is what we are witnessing.  Who knows?  We will not know until it has already happened.

Meanwhile, we have this phenomenon of Trump.  I don't know what he's going to do.  I don't know him.  But I do believe that he is in a new and very unique place in the unfolding of our history.  

Since he is not beholden to any of the American oligarchs, he could break away from the Wolfowitz Doctrine* "a world dominated by one superpower whose position can be perpetuated by constructive behavior and sufficient military might to deter any nation or group of nations from challenging American primacy." which has dominated the US Foreign Policy since Jr was president.  

He could stop this mania of regime change pursued by the Neocons. "The “neocons” believe American greatness is measured by our willingness to be a great power—through vast and virtually unlimited global military involvement."  (Neocons: the War Party)

The potential to change the disastrous course the US has taken is there, but whether he will take it, or be permitted to pursue such action, will only be revealed by time, but we can be certain that the opposition to any of his policies will be continued.  With the Main Stream Media continuing their campaign of "fake news" of their own making, it will be up to the people to evaluate the degree of truth coming through the various communication means.  Fortunately there are many sources of verifiable information from the other side of the Establishment's story-line.

I like Russian Insider because they collect articles and provide links to them from all over the world, similar to Information Clearing House, and Newsbud.  Or Zero Hedge, with it's libertarian view of the world.

From these web pages you can find many other sites that are doing real investigative reporting.  There are many of them.  These are just a couple of my most visited sites:

Consortium News.  Excellent track of good journalism.

Corbett Report.  For ongoing "open source" investigations.

The Saker, The Unz Review, Club Orlov, The Tom Dispatch... there are many, many, places where you can find the view from the other side of the story, and check which narrative is closer to your reality.  It is just not going to be given to you by the Establishment media.  This is why they call all these outlets "Fake News", but a little due diligence in our part, will soon show who the real "Fake News" purveyors are.

For an audio experience (AM radio type) you can check No Agenda Show, or their news-feed No Agenda News Network.

Now that the face of the Deep State is becoming visible, we should be able to have a better chance of actually having a real Democracy.

What do you think?

* Apologists for the current policy claim that the Wolfowitz doctrine was not adopted by the US government.  That is was changed due to the public outcry against it, however, "actions speak louder than words",  and the actions of the US government since then have demonstrated that that very policy is at work, to the present time.  Only this can explain the current drive for war with Russia.
