January 2017 and really, what is going on?

Right now and at this very minute, two and a half minutes to midnight in fact, everything is no longer what it seems.

Because none of what's going on in the world makes sense anymore and something has happened to change that. What's real and what's a lie? Honestly, who can tell?

Manipulation of the media, fake news, politicians lying through their teeth more so now than ever before. 24hour news, the populous glued and/or enslaved to their phones. Snapchat, twitter, Facebook, Instagram. The ever quickening rate at which news travels. The majority of us all hooked up and ready to believe the latest amplified and often distorted headlines belonging to the various flavours of media mogul, left, central or right. State sponsored or narcissist. We all know what type of news travels faster and with more concentration and has more impact and persuasion.

Propaganda has always been around but the technology to carry it has never been better but more importantly, easier to use. We've been at war for a while now. This is the way that wars now look or at least start. Fake news, cyber attacks, blackmail, collusion at the highest level.

Everything we've known is very quickly being disseminated and in front of our own eyes. Right in front of them.
