I’m not sure why this is here, but what I found most interesting about this is the depth of the nested “fake news” or propagandistic distortion it represents. The reason Benghazi is being retweeted so much is because Democrats are trying to associate the Iranian action against the Baghdad embassy as “Trump’s Benghazi” in an effort to make an attack against him by means of trying to turn Benghazi against him (Alinsky tactics 101), while also deflecting and polluting what happened in the Benghazi incident.

What this “twitter storm” really represents that most people have seemingly not yet come to understand, is that it is a skirmish or battle in a new generation of warfare for the “hearts and minds” of the unaware masses of “voters”.

War used to mostly be about log lines and materiel and throwing men against each other to die for the ruling class, but in the psychological warfare battlefield of the nuclear world of {current_year}, it’s all about moving the minds of the masses of “democratic voters”. The new weapons are volleys of deflection and gaslighting that will commence until regular people can’t make heads from tails anymore and they basically go insane and can easily be moved and herded by a global ruling class to serve their interests, as we have increasingly been witnessing over the last few years. It’s an effect caused by even the most “educated” people not being able to make rational, observable sense of, integrate or reconcile things anymore as effects are so pervasive now that they have caused the willful deconstruction of the very foundation of logic, order, and structure itself; mass gaslighting.

Everything has become intentionally more noise than signal to evade and provide cover while also destroying from within by those whose aim is precisely that, destruction from within.
