'our free press' works for the empire and this writer shows you some of the evidence herein;

It’s not a new or revived Cold War yet between the US and Russia, but not for lack of trying by the corporate US media.

The latest example of absurd fear-mongering was brought to us courtesy of Fox Business News, with anchor Trish Regan darkly warned that “not since 1962 have we had such enemy missiles near our shores.”  She explained that “for several years” Venezuela has been “amassing” up to 5000 “long-range Russian-made surface to air missiless.”  Of course, in 1962, the missiles in question were intermediate range nuclear-tipped missiles that the then Soviet Union was installing in Cuba, aimed to counter similar missiles that the US had already based in western Europe and Turkey near Russia’s borders.  But what was she actually talking about in Venezuela?  Shoulder-fired anti-aircraft rockets with a maximum range of four miles.  Hmmm. And Venezuela is 1700 miles from the Florida Keys, considerably beyond the range of these little shoulder-fired rockets.   

No wonder there hasn’t been a mad rush to buy and install bomb shelters in the US, as there was during the Cuban Missile Crisis............https://thiscantbehappening.net/beware-the-new-venezuelan-missile-crisis/
