Ironically (or NOT) video game graphics – used as propaganda – have become mainstream, illustrating how Ukraine is NOT Another Action Movie.

What You Won’t Hear From Presstitutes
And When the TRUTH Finally Surfaced…
As early as 1981, none other than Bill Gates created video games to be played on his Microsoft Basic Computer.
But it wasn’t until 2000 – when he stepped down as CEO – that he concentrated his focus on developing and growing the lucrative “Video Game” market.
As a result, millions of “Gamers” have become addicted to the violence and lifelike graphics created in many of Gates’s games.
Ironically (or NOT) the “Gamers” are not just children hooked on games like Mortal Kombat or “Call of Duty.”
In fact, many “Gamers” are adults – both male AND female – up to age 65 AND over.
During a 2021 survey, 38 percent of video game players still come from the 18 to 34 age demographic, and seven percent are 65 years and older.
And here’s another shocker.
In 2021, there were an estimated 3.24 billion gamers across the globe.
Do the math.
7% of 3.24 billion equals 226,800,000 senior citizen gamers.
Another Action Movie
Unfortunately, most of these people are spending waaaaayyyy to much time engaged with others across the globe killing and maiming cartoon AND life-like characters for entertainment.
It’s as if they get to star in their own personal action movie as a Rambo or Ahhnolld Schwarzenegger character.
Which brings me to my point about Ukraine is NOT another action movie, nor is it a video game.
Unfortunately, the bloodlust from the thought of war causes many normally “peaceful” citizens to want to act out fantasies like the ones they live through games or action movies.
The problem is how most Americans only see things from our perspective.
We’ve never had tanks roaming up and down our street…except during Biden’s inauguration.
And until you start to see things from Ukraine, Europe, China or Russia’s perspective, you’ll easily fall victim to war propaganda.
It happens during every war.
Bar none.
That’s why our March edition of “…In Plain English” (HERE) is dedicated to seeing the world with a different set of eyes.
You may be shocked by what you read…but sometimes learning the truth is what it takes to wake up.
The truth will cause freedom or rebellion but never indifference.
“And Ye Shall Know the Truth, And the Truth Shall Make You Free.”
