Her sinking with the loss of almost 1,200 lives caused such outrage that it propelled the U.S. into the First World War.

But now divers have revealed a dark secret about the cargo carried by the Lusitania on its final journey in May 1915.

Munitions they found in the hold suggest that the Germans had been right all along in claiming the ship was carrying war materials and was a legitimate military target.

Wilson moves up on the list of “worst president”.

Either a fool or a fraud?

He campaigned on a “keep us out of war” platform and then rushed us into it.

Once again, it appears that the public was lied to and manipulated.

When do we wise up?

QUOTE: Who rules?

Thursday, December 25, 2008

In his 1928 book, Propaganda, Bernays wrote, “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country…”

Definition of “sheeple” (i.e., people who are sheep)!

INTERESTING: Why are certain topics appealing?

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

“Especially in the wake of Twilight, Harry Potter, or even the His Dark Materials series, I was wondering if you could tell me why concepts, like being an orphan or the existence of vampires or monsters, which should be frightening to children actually prove to be so appealing?”

With all the real problems in the world, why do folks have to go out and “invent” new ones?

Vampires and magic seem to be popular with the “yutes” of America. Are they brain dead? Have they been under served by what purports to be the “education system” here? Are they just mindless consumers of the “one eyed vast wasteland” (i.e., TV) in every room of our homes?

I really don’t understand.

When I was young, I dreamed of doing great things. Epic books were my “vast waste land”. With heros that overcome adversity and their own flaws.

Now, the kids adore what doesn’t exist.

Strange to my way of thinging.

LUDITE’S WIFE SENT ME THIS:

*** begin quote ***

Barack Obama says:

Simple-minded John McCain cannot use a computer.

John McCain’s question is:

Has Barack Obama ever landed a jet plane on an aircraft carrier at night?

*** end quote ***

Many a true word is said in jest.
A quick google search on: obama+mccain+”computer use” pops:

“1982. John McCain goes to Washington. Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn’t,” says a voice-over in the ad against shots of a Rubik’s Cube, a disco ball, a massive cell phone and an old computer. “He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail, still doesn’t understand the economy, and favors $200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class. After one president who’s out of the touch, we just can’t afford more of the same.

*** end quote ***

The main stream media may be able to dupe some folks with this drivel.
But, I personally took note of their derision of how he waves (i.e., due to his war injuries), his age exploited in the photos of Obama shoveling dirt into the sandbags (i.e., Regan’s line about taking advantage of my opponent’s youth and inexperience comes to mind), and most of all Obama’s / McCain’s respective records in the Senate (or lack there of).
Like when they called Bush an idiot, I’d suggest that go up to any fighter pilot today and call them and idiot. Then they can report to the ER for a broken nose.
No, this election has crossed over the boundaries of ‘fair play’ several times. More from the left, than the right! Unfortunately, the main stream media has it’s own opinions it is propagandizing. It would be interesting if there was a fair score being kept.
Hopefully, the Great Scorekeeper is going to even out the game in the end? If so, a lot of people are going to be roasty toasty!
