A 2013 Call of Duty sequel was used to psychologically condition users to support the destruction of Venezuela –and in foreshadowing specific events. In the game, U.S. Special Operations forces open their assault by launching a rocket at a dam that looks strikingly similar to Venezuela’s Guri dam, an act of deliberate terror that floods the streets of Caracas. During a 2019 coup, Venezuela experienced a sudden collapse of its electrical infrastructure.[9]

Yuval Harari“The coming technological bonanza will probably make it feasible to feed and support these useless masses even without any effort from their side.What will they do all day? One answer might be drugs and computer games. Unnecessary people might spend increasing amounts of time within 3D-virtual-reality worlds, that would provide them with far more excitement and emotional engagement than the drab reality outside. yet such a development would deal a mortal blow to the liberal belief in the sacredness of human life and of human experiences. What's so sacred about useless bums who pass their time devouring artificial experiences in La-La Land?”Yuval Harari2015
