Arrow Dumb Americans make better fodder for ZioNazi Wars

This is a factual analysis of why Americans are so ignorant. Definitely recommended reading.
Just remember that after you finish reading the truth you should ask yourself who the framers of ignorance are -- THE ZIONAZIS.

The Doors Of Perception: Why Americans Will Believe Almost Anything
by Dr. Tim O'Shea

We are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world has ever known. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our very awareness of the whole design seems like it is being subtly and inexorably erased.

The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely regulated. Who cares, right?

It is an exhausting and endless task to keep explaining to people how most issues of conventional wisdom are scientifically implanted in the public consciousness by a thousand media clips per day. In an effort to save time, I would like to provide just a little background on the handling of information in this country.

Once the basic principles are illustrated about how our current system of media control arose historically, the reader might be more apt to question any given story in today's news.

Now that is one qualified source of information... funny how the article says Americans will believe almost anything, so I surf the site and find such incredibly well researched aticles like...

To Succeed at Any Diet, You Must Know Your Metabolic Type
and
Order Your Natural Wonder Food, Chlorella!

I've read many of those ideas before and yes....paying attention to the media instead of simply swallowing it makes a HUGE difference in how you understand things and makes it much easier to spot spin. I've even converted a couple people over the years into listening to the news with a critical mind and they are amazed at what they hear when they know what to look for.

This sort of spinspeak has even found it's way into books and flowed right down to every level of government and to any smart business.

Still, hate to break it to you but this deal may have started with this Bernay guy in America but it's global now and the majority of Canadians, Brits, etc are definitely duped too (although I don't think to such a degree).

Zionazi? What's that all about?

All good articles, but let's not derail this thread.

Do you have a problem with the arguments he uses in the article in question?

In the case of spin I think there's an appropriate example.

- It really doesn't matter if a tree falling in the forest makes a sound or not
- It matters if you think it did

Please justify the use of the term "Zionazi." As a Jew, an anti-nazi and an antizionist, I find it to be extremely offensive.

I think that was the idea. I'm curious if it (i.e. Pyro-Osteon's favourite word) could be termed Trolling.

As a non-Jew, an anti-nazi and an anti-zionist I also find it extremely offensive. One surely must know SFA about fairly recent history in order to be so disgustingly offensive. Plus its in line to win an oxymoron prize.

Factual Analysis?

By the way Pyro, have you ever read the works of Dumas and Austen?
