Pushing Civil War in the USA



"Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually intolerant may constantly accuse other people of being intolerant. "

    Much of US foreign policy pronouncements incorporate this mechanism.  Thus we saw Iraq, systematically disarmed throughout the 90s, accused of having WMDs in 2002.  We see Russia accused of "invading other countries".  We see China accused of "entrapping 3rd world countries into debt".

   And, since 2016, we see the bizarre spectacle of the US accusing Russia of "interfering" in the elections of other countries, especially the US.   The accusations continue, even as the US appoints a president of Venezuela,  arm-twists 50 other countries to go along with it, and threatens to invade Venezuela if their elected president doesn't step down and allow the US-appointed president to take over.

   Yeah, but Russia bought Facebook ads!

   The newest claim is that Russia is trying to divide Americans and make us fight one another.

   Is CBS part of the plot?   They recently aired a full-on call for violence in the streets of America, and urged people to sucker punch anyone who disagrees with them politically.
