“This is so cool! This is so cool!” a thirteen-year-old boy repeated as he squeezed rounds from a real M-16, picking off “enemy combatants” in a video game while perched atop a real Army Humvee. “I just came to the mall to skateboard but everyone said this was pretty cool.

It doesn’t…

The world of info wars can be a very murky one indeed, laden with double agents, NWO shills who cloak themselves as info warriors. It’s an absolute mine field, a veritable quagmire of disinformation in the war for your mind.
