I decided to keep adding to this thread as and when “New stuff” pops up which may help us to work out what is going on and how it works, to enable us to at least defend ourselves by understanding.
And more to the point - so that we can come back and find these posts and links - without having to plough through innumerable other threads.
Here is an amazing study whaich has been out a couple of years and which contains information which may just explain to us why exactly the Lefties are so Paranoid about “Russia” - just now. The first 20 minutes should be enough to give you a flavour and explain what I am alluding to ! However it is a lecture which just keeps on giving - and is well worth listening to several times.
