Peter “the antichrist ist coming” Thiel. Sounds more like an unhinged conspiracy theorist than some smart mastermind.
The difference to now is that the internet reveals all lies. The Iraq war wouldn’t be possible today.
The internet has existed back then, too. One might even argue it was a better internet, because all those “social media” propaganda mills were still in their infancy, or didn’t even exist yet. If the change of the internet has done anything compared to back then, then it has made it easier to spread lies to the masses.

I thought so, too but the theories match too much on Trump. They may be unhinged but I think they are implemented.
I would agree
The internet also spreads the truth. The art is to let people read the truth without them recognizing it among lies.
My impression is that the US have mastered that art.
