Bernie's Farewell Tour and the Kayfabe that Makes it Possible

Here's the latest video from Scott over at Nomadic Everyman. I learned a new word today: "Kayfabe." It's from professional wrestling, and I think it well describes the fake political theater we've been subject to in the United States.

Nathan's Wolfgang Halbig Interview (link)

For some reason I can't embed this on my website. Wolfgang Halbig is a former school principal and State Trooper who has since become an expert on school safety.

According to witnesses in La Carlota, the Venezuelan armed forces fired tear gas towards the Altamira overpass, where civilian protesters began to gather, whereas Guaido’s soldiers returned live fire. Riot police also appeared on the scene to try and disperse the crowds. There are reports of protesters wounded and arrested that are unconfirmed at the time of writing...
