Serious question. I have had three family members freak out at me unprovoked over some weird shit the last few weeks, and customers at work are literally on edge, bat shit crazy, seemingly losing their minds and unable to control their rage over the dumbest shit.
Now, the weird part is that the lockdowns are ending in most regions. Does everyone have some kind of PTSD, or are vaxxed people starting to lose it or be controlled by whatever is in that shit?
Anyone else who works in customer service noticing this?
What is the U2 instrument.
U2 incident, ~1960. The short of it, the U2 was one of the first long range, high altitude spy planes. Russia hated them flying over, but they didnt have anything that could get as high to take them on.
Russia accused the US of spying, America denied it, even denied to the world that the planes existed IIRC.
Then, Russia demanded the US come clean and admit to everyone they lied, and they did. A U2 had crashed in Russia (finally shot one down). They filmed it and released it publicly to the world. It was a publicity disaster for the US. They, alegedly the good guys, were caught: -breaking treaty on spying. -lying to world governments on the existence of a pretty much illegal plane at the time. -lying to American public. -giving the country a black eye in the UN -allowing Russia to embarrass the US with such a bone head move.
For many of the public this was the big reveal that the USA was not the clean cut hero of WW2, honorable and proud.
It was a wake up call, the feds blatantly lied to the American public, and if not the beginning, a good jump for Americans learning the lesson that they couldn't trust the federal government.
