D.C. Tehran and Beijing: The WW3 psyop thing Part Deux

Be on the lookout for some high octane Overton Window fuckery of the sort that perception management likes to spring on us, no pun intended. The ongoing made for electronic pixel watcher's spectacular, whose setting is the middle east, appears on the cusp of becoming laser focused on cosplayer Donald Trump's putative sanity. The question of whether the LARP known as President Trump is clinically psychotic or not (severe narcissism, by the way, is a bona fide personality disorder that doesn't typically diminish with age, and that has, quite often, and with more than a bit of justification, been attributed to the character of Donald Trump) is, ultimately, only being bandied about for the purpose of obscuring the fact that the entire middle east contretemps is a soup to nuts orchestrated war theatrical. 

And, it's fitting, albeit in a distinctly dark way, that, however modest, even trivial, the erstwhile Langley on the Charles' professor's contribution may be with respect to present events, that Jeffrey Sachs is once again serving a large helping of Overton Window souflee. After all, the professor was a central figure in the aftermath of the detonation of the USSR, which took place over three decades ago, and you can be sure he wasn't doing anything to illuminate what the actual state of play was then either. In fairness, that may have just been the result of Sachs being a useful idiot as opposed to him functioning as an actual operative. In any event, it's hard to overstate the cruel irony of the public being importuned to perseverate on Trump's putative psychosis when that very same public is entirely in thrall to a jumbo sized bit of make believe.
