The establishment narrative managers are not terrifying their audiences with this word because they believe there is any danger of a coup actually happening. They are doing it because it’s their last chance to use Trump to psychologically abuse their audiences for clicks.
Billionaires-controlled ‘news’-media encourage censorship, so as to maintain their control over the Government. As long as that control continues, the dictatorship will continue.
Did Britain’s most important ambassador compromise the lives of British soldiers with his love affair with a former CNN journalist? And why isn’t the Foreign office investigating?
