Russian Interference OH PLEEZE give me a break, it's called PSY OPS; propaganda, they all do it

Before the internet, there was radio World War II Propaganda Broadcasters Besides radio, leaflets were dropped during the Vietnam War  In one incident the US printed leaflets which encouraged Vietnamese to participate in an election (1966).  A reporter stumbled upon the leaflets and pointed out that the US was not to interfere with this  election in any form.   The reporters ultimatum burn em or be part of the evening news.  We unloaded truckloads of leaflets, dug a huge pit, had a huge bonfire.  These days propaganda is on the net.  Some more sublilital is the NEWS, which we all know is opinionated. These days propaganda goes by a new name: "FAKE NEWS."  Always check the source, anybody can start a website Media sites need to become more proactive in identifying the source, before accepting advertising money

Get a hobby or two

Much of the woodwork is done, some painting is next. Still not convinced what railing to use.  Considering laminate. Then I'm also thinking of plastic sheeting on which I can print metal railing.
