The US rulers have always been a delusional lot. This is not new, it’s just becoming more obvious as the Empire reaches its end.

Anyway here’s James Randi easily proving Uri Geller to be a fraud

The ruling class and their cronies are not rational, they’re irrational capitalists that see the world in a similar way to how British monarchs in the dark ages did. That makes them even more dangerous to me, because they are in charge of power that they don’t understand.

    One of the most pervasive aspects of American propaganda in media is how CIA and other government ghouls are always depicted as hyper-competent and logical. But even a casual reading of history reveals their real character as frat boys who think they’re the hottest shit ever.

      I remember there was a documentary about someone who gamed a McDonalds competition a while back and it included a lot of interviews with an FBI agent that was involved solving the case.

      Meatheaded fratbro is a very accurate description for how those dude talked. I was blown away by how unprofessional and immature he seemed.
