Mel Sembler's censorship and disinfo machine

[Antigen]

Amazing! Only a couple of days and, so far, each reference that I've checked has been sanitized of the term Mel Sembler.

Folks, I don't give a flyin run at a rollin donut what happened 20 odd years ago, even to myself and those I loved the most. I wouldn't even bother mentioning this bizarro world shit to very many people except for one thing. These people are running our country and they're doing it, predictably enough, the same way they ran the program and their own fucked up families.

Laura Rosen writes in Mother Jones magazine that a pro-Israeli advocacy group is test marketing propaganda language to be used to sell the American people on a war with Iran.

A participant in one of their marketing focus groups remarks:

    "The whole basis of the whole thing was, 'we're going to go into Iran and what do we have to do to get you guys to along with it'"

To get a gist of who "Freedom's Watch" is:

    Its top donors include Sheldon Adelson, the CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, a philanthropist for pro-Israel causes, and, according to Forbes, the third wealthiest man in the United States; John Templeton, a conservative philanthropist; Mel Sembler, a shopping mall developer from Florida, former U.S. ambassador to Italy, and a board member of the American Enterprise Institute; Matthew Brooks and Richard Fox, co-founders of the Republican Jewish Coalition; and Kevin Moley, a former advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney and past U.S. ambassador to international organizations

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.  That is easy.  All you have to do is tell them  they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials  

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
H. L. Mencken

what do we do to take our country back? or I must find another country to call home!

[Froderik]

Interesting about the references being sanitized, Antigen... so the Semblerites are attempting to cover their slimy tracks, eh? Could we really expect any less from these control freaks? :x

what do we do to take our country back? or I must find another country to call home!

First, don't worry about it, it'll happen with or without our help or good intentions. Empires have a limited lifespan and this one is faltering already. Don't confuse the empire with our country or your very own community within it. Both will still be around long after the current merry band of Lilliputians exit stage right and make way for the next act.

Educate yourself about world history and take care to get a variety of viewpoints on any aspect of it that interests you. Educate yourself even more about local history, paying special attention to old people cause they're the only eye witnesses left and they have an even more limited lifespan than any of this other bullshit. Above all else, to thine own self be true. Once you start to develop a better and more comprehensive idea of what's going on and what's likely to happen next, look to history for instruction on how best to spend your time and energy so that your kids, grand kids, friends and loved ones are best situated to live well and happily under those circumstances.
