Charlotte, of course what you say is accurate. I am making an accessible appeal for those who may not know so much. I watched the first 10 days of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq and I could not believe that this campaign, granted the high level of incompetence displayed, and the setbacks, resulted in less than a thousand in casualties. I was certain it must have been at least 4000-5000 dead. I spoke with a friend of mine in the military who confirmed that although he did not know the actual figures, that they were seriously lowballed. He also told me that the figures released did not make much sense. Most have gone along with the story because they cannot conceive that it is possible for the military to hide tens of thousands of deaths, to pretend POWs don't exist. They cannot believe it a possible scenario. I say unto you, believe!

"Imposition of effective martial law clothed in the sheep skin of pandemics, cyber-security, and economic stimulus."

I'd modify that comment slightly by saying the last few years introduced medical martial law, however, "informational martial law" has been going on for decades. In fact, the mainstream media news has always been captured by the national security state, it just became more apparent because all the additional social media platforms and websites echoed variations of the

state-run MSM narrative.

As far as obtaining a true accounting from the Pentagon about who perished during decades of military conflict including special ops that'll be similar to finding out what happened to the trillions of tax dollars the Pentagon just can't seem to find.

Early on during the Iraq War it was decided by the security state that mainstream media news should not show flag draped coffins of soldiers killed in battle. So if the security state doesn't want to arouse public consciousness about these deaths, there's no way you'll get any accurate info about the number of dead within indigenous populations who were killed in battle, or who were the unfortunate victims of collateral damage.

The purpose of State-run mainstream media news worldwide is to always hide hideous details and to sanitize torture and genocide.

I have been forced to choose between listening to NPR's Morning Edition and dreary morning programming from private programmers that seem to use NPR's scripts. It is time for someone, anyone to put comparable programming to NPR's with a team of factcheckers to rebut their every lie.

They’re not lying about this. Also, any mercenary is on the own. You are obviously a Putin fellation tool just like Jill.
