Things Are Only Going To Get Weirder<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Things are getting stranger and stranger. If you would have told someone ten years ago that Dennis Rodman would one day be helping to negotiate peace between North Korea and President Donald Trump, they would have assumed you were describing some weird movie cooked up in the mind of Mike Judge or the South Park<\/em> guys. But in this timeline it\u2019s an actual news story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything about the last few years has been weird. The mass media\u2019s behavior has been weird, Russiagate was weird, Ukrainegate is weird, a former presidential candidate accusing a current presidential candidate of working for the Kremlin was weird, people constantly accusing strangers on the internet of being Russian agents is weird, factions of the US government constantly leaking information against other factions of the US government is weird, the DNC getting caught rigging their primary was weird, Hillary Clinton losing the election was weird, the Skripal poisoning was weird, US government officials openly tweeting about their Venezuela coup is weird, the breakdown of the entire mainstream Syria narrative is weird, Assange\u2019s arrest was weird, the campaign to censor the internet is weird, and this is just stuff off the top of my head from the areas I\u2019ve been looking at in my own narrow spectrum of focus. Anyone else could list dozens of other weird new developments from their own slice of the information pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often hear people in my line of work saying \u201cMan, we\u2019re going to look back on all this crazy shit and think about how absolutely weird it was!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No we won\u2019t. Because it\u2019s only going to get weirder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s only going to get weirder, because that\u2019s what it looks like when old patterns start to fall away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
