COMMENT POSTED TO A VIDEO/ARTICLE IN INTELLHUB
A truck driver and his
ride-along filmed and commentated as they drove alongside a massive covert
convoy of 18-wheelers which were boasting full-on police escorts
Massive convoy of
‘unmarked big rigs’ escorted by police, driver ‘looked Russian’
The convoy story is interesting.
Of course, the American military does this kind of thing
with some regularity, transshipping nuclear weapons or other important military
equipment. Seeing it underway is of course fascinating and intriguing.
But what is amazing in this little story is the driver/photographer's
quoted statement about the driver of one of the convoy trucks "looking
Russian."
Amazing not for what the words say on the surface. They are
nonsense, of course.
But amazing because they provide a very good measure of the
effect of all the insanity about Russia that has poured like a roaring cataract
from America's politicians and press for months.
The night-and-day insanity has literally planted suggestions
in this man's mind, like some powerful advertising or propaganda campaign.
I doubt the man would even know what a Russian looked like.
Indeed, there are many types of people in such a vast country as Russia.
And, of course, Eastern Europe was a big source of legal
immigration to the United States in the early Twentieth Century. Literally
millions of American descendants have that heritage.
