@Zennblack Yeah, people have a short attention span and memory, though.
But I believe it is a distraction, or part of a longterm plot. Like you said -- Why would this matter right now? No normal person had this on their radar as a major concern.
But suddenly Tim Pool and Tucker are talking like it's some revelation that's going to change the world. Suspicious. Or maybe the normie in them is just now waking up.
Bad (worse) stuff is coming for us this year and next. Watch for false flags, too.
