You surely remember the War on Drugs (launched by Tricky Dicky Nixon, and pursued with gusto by Ronnie & his Raygun).
The Bush regime preferred a War on Terror.

Predictable.
It's great raw material for the rabid cheerleaders of Faux News.
Good guys, bad guys - like rilly evil Johnny Depps....
Pirates of the.... um.... some sea near... um.... Africa?
Time to clamber aboard HG Wells' Time Machine and traverse back through the centuries.
But nevertheless, truly surreal.
heep:
And when TSHTF big time, howzabout zooming through time and dusting off a Wells & Welles (HG & Orson) classic co-production....
The War of the Worlds.
Take the psyop all the way this time.
Yeah, baby - we need to forget about rioting against our exploiters and unite against an alien invasion.
