"Everything has been said before, nothing left to say anymore..." - Marilyn Manson // music: Angles & Agony + C/A/T

From Candid Camera
Candid Camera was a popular television program in the US in the 1960s.
The program used the classic methodology of naturalistic experiments in social psychology as the source of its humorous   more...scenarios.
The resulting programs were not only entertaining, but also potentially instructive.
For example, how independent is the average person when confronted with the all-powerful "consensus of the group?"
Not very.
Creating a consensus quickly is the goal of every "shock and awe" propagandist.
That's why it's often true that "a lie makes it half way around the world before the truth gets its pants on."
Professional liars have their stories worked out well in advance and then pump them out hard and fast long before thoughtful, honest analysts have the chance to ask even the first question.
Once the consensus is pointing in one direction, it becomes very difficult to take, hold and promote a contrary point of view, even if that point of view is accurate and the consensus is completely false.
That's why I believe it's prudent to assume that ANYTHING you "know" that is consensus-based and was produced and is continuously supported by the so called "mainstream" news media (news, PR and/or propaganda) is probably the product of a calculated attempt to mislead.
As a simple rule of thumb, the proper response to ANYTHING that makes its way to the network news or the front page of a major newspaper is to ask yourself two questions: "Whose propaganda is this?" and "What facts are they withholding and skewing in a calculated attempt to mislead me?"
One of the most important skills in the propagandist's bag of tricks is controlling where your audience places its attention. In magic, it's called "misdirection." In politics, it's called setting the agenda.
Once you realize that EVERYTHING that's featured by the news media is most likely someone else's propaganda and that the key to successful deception is misdirection, you are well on your way to liberating your mind from a ton of nonsense and misinformation and, in the process, perhaps saving your own life some day.  less

He may have been the ultimate icon of 1950s conformity and postwar complacency, but Dwight D. Eisenhower was an iconoclast, visionary, and the Cassandra of the New World Order. Upon departing his presidency,   more...Eisenhower issued a stern, cogent warning about the burgeoning "military industrial complex," foretelling with ominous clarity the state of the world in 2004 with its incestuous entanglement of political, corporate, and Defense Department interests.  less

I saw some Malaysian Punks while I was walking home from work one day. It was near Christmas time and I had to ask them to say a kind Christmas greeting.
