It is concerning to see a letter writer repeat propaganda that is fed to Americans from adversaries. Propaganda that has been proven to be false, yet there are still people who continue to repeat it. An example is that millions of dollars were sent to Hamas for condoms! This was proven to be nonsense along with all of the other “facts” spelled out in a recent letter, yet there are still many Americans who choose to believe these things because they choose to think that an entire half of the country are their enemies.

This is exactly what our adversaries want when they put this nonsense out. Even Elon Musk repeats nonsense without checking the facts, because it benefits him. Americans need to start to stick together again and stop letting countries sow hatred amongst ourselves. They have torn this country apart and we have let them do it.

Propaganda has been used since the beginning of time to destroy democracies, and adversaries have been very busy trying to destroy ours through social media since the Internet was created. Be smart! Stop allowing them to feed this garbage to you, allowing your country to be torn apart, which is exactly what they are counting on you to do. Stand by your fellow citizens and see this nonsense for what it is. They are so grateful that American citizens have done their job for them. Follow this rule: if something sounds outrageous, it’s because it isn’t true. There are reliable sources for news.

You are reading this newspaper right now and if you look at the source of international and national news, it is the Associated Press, and if you look at the newspapers around the world, they use the same source. And if you don’t choose to use legitimate news sources, please don’t share propaganda with the rest of us. It is exactly what Russia, China, North Korea, and other countries that don’t share our freedoms want you to do..
