TRICs for Tricks

Zeitgeist, beautiful zeitgeist.

It’s tempting to opine, since I reckon many Medium readers don’t even know who KGB Useful Idiot #1 is. IYKYK. If you don’t and care, go read up on Farage. He’s not the Kremlin’s most valuable asset, but as the prime catalyst for the first successful (and ongoing) op, Brexit, he’s important.

Depending on how this all turns out, so who gets to write the history, he’s either going to go down as Benedict Arnold (← this one) or Thomas Paine.

p.s. Leave it to the sly humor of the Brits to pick this acronym for their linear media industry association.
