The Hunger Games, The Handmaid's Tale, and Squid Games were just desensitisation PsyOps. Who could have imagined that the dystopian future was now?

PsyOps, you say? Operations by which organizations? Which specific individuals were involved in the planning and coordination? How are they funded? Who got paid and who paid who for this PsyOp work? To what end?

Who approached Margaret Atwood, for example, and proposed she write a novel as part of a desensitization “PsyOp?” When?

If Handmaid’s Tale was supposed to be desensitization, she failed.

The only party actually following the ceasefire is the Palestinians as usual. There's a ceasefire in Syria and Lebanon, but apparently for Israel a ceasefire means they can still attack you, you just can't defend yourself.

Did you read the article? The agreement stipulates that all bodies should be returned. The bodies have not been returned, and therefore the ceasefire cannot proceed to the next phase. Simple stuff.
