If the woke or transgender activists don’t get your kid, maybe the military will. Actually, all three of them might get your kid. From Ron Paul at ronpaulinstitute.org:
As a rule, US war reporting since Vietnam has been mostly mainstream media cheerleading the mission rather than digging beyond government war propaganda. After all, it was images of American boys coming home in body bags shown on the six o’clock news across America that finally galvanized mainstream opposition to that war.
The Pentagon learned its lesson by the first Gulf War, and it severely restricted up-close media coverage. Only “trusted” journalists were able to report from the front lines. Most of the press corps wrote up stories based on US military press releases from luxury hotels in Baghdad.
By the time of Gulf War II the Pentagon came up with the concept of “embedding” select journalists with the troops. This allowed the story to be framed by the Pentagon with the false impression that actual journalism was taking place. It felt authentic, because the journalist was with the troops and close to the action, but the story presented what the Pentagon wanted to be presented.
War is coming back in style
There’s generals here, advisors there
And the Russians nibbling everywhere
The chessboard’s filling up with red
We make more profits when we blow off their head
Economy is looking bad
Let’s start another war
When ya get drafted
Fan the fires of racist hatred
We want total war
When ya get drafted
Drooling fingers, panic buttons
Playing with missiles like they’re toys
And there’s easy money, easy jobs
Especially when you build the bombs
That blow big cities off the map
Just guess who profits when we build ’em back up?
Yeah, what big business wants, big business gets
It wants a war
When ya get drafted
Trilateral Commission goonies laugh
And scheme for more
When ya get drafted
Call the Army! Call the Navy!
Stocked with kids from slums
When ya get drafted
If you can’t afford a slick attorney
We might make you a spy
