“I can tell you where I was when the CNN feed came that it was 95% effective"

This is the culmination of decades of toxic PR and corporate capture of government. The first impactful exposure of this was 1996 publication 'Toxic Sludge Is Good For You - Lies, Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry' by John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton

They founded the site Sourcewatch that tracks the front groups and astroturf campaigns which has grown to several campaigns including ALEC Exposed centered on Koch Bros very effective legislative assault on consumer protections.

Their chapter about selling the Gulf War has many parallels to events that followed including this Covidian madness. It's tragic we have had to reach a point of genocide before a significant segment of the public is alarmed by this reality. Recognizing a problem is the first step to fixing it and with luck we are closer than ever to that.
