4. The Beautiful Simplicity of Modern Bushie Gestalt-Based Propaganda
Edited on Sat Feb-07-09 02:29 PM by tom_paine
The more seamless the wall that flashes Bushie False reality no matter whee one turns, the more media outlets and weblogs that transmit the lie and reinforce it, laundering the lie, as it were. Multiply this one little itty bitty poll by a thousand by ten-thousand little Bushie dishonest acts and sabotages like that and you begin to understand the pervasive nature of what we truly face, Obama's election notwithstanding.

This is one tiny brick in a very large, disconnected, and insane mosaic. Reality melts and twists like mozzarella cheese before your eyes. Get used to it. You never imagined it existed before (well, maybe you did..I don't know you personally) now you will see that it is everywhere and in everything. Hovering over every discussion about damned near anything in this country are Bushie false Realities, misinformation, disinformation and lies. Cable TV "news" is the vehicle which drives much of this insanity.

"Conventional Wisdom", as it was in Germany 1930s, has been replaced by an authoritarian fever dream, supported by a multiplying group of crazies now at least 20% of our nation, with another 50% "go along to get along" trailing numbly in their wake. The Good Germans. And yes, it all seems to be continuing apace in spite of Obama's efforts to turn it back, though maybe he'll achieve the longshot still.

Welcome to the club, beac. But it's no club to be proud of. If we were in this club in almost any other nation or time, 1930s Germany, 1950s Russia, 1980s Argentina, S. Africa, or the Philippines, we'd be marked for brutalization, false arrest, and death.

Here in this newfangled Inverted Totalitarianism, we are ignored.

I am not advocating giving up. NEVER give up. But understand just how big this thing is, and how well entrenched.

In this small thing, you see the world of Bushiganda, that even now dominates our national Dialogue.
