That's an awesome example of a Straw Man argument but other than that it's really just a bunch of blather :eek: |

It's actually a "grass man" argument. I'm not dry to the point of being considered a "straw" just yet. Nice of you to see it for what it really is - "bunch of blather". Mission accomplished. :clown: |

Adam Curtis definitely has my respect for shedding light on the propagandization of America by Edward Bernays in his Century of the Self series. ([[ LINK REMOVED ]]

Here's a good excerpt:

Here's an interesting paper that I found:
Propaganda and Disinformation: How the CIA Manufactures History
It begins with a good quote from Malcom Muggeridge:
| quote: | | In the eyes of posterity it will inevitably seem that, in safeguarding our freedom, we destroyed it. The vast clandestine apparatus we built up to prove our enemies' resources and intentions only served in the end to confuse our own purposes; that practice of deceiving others for the good of the state led infallibly to our deceiving ourselves; and that vast army of clandestine personnel built up to execute these purposes were soon caught up in the web of their own sick fantasies, with disastrous consequences for them and us. |
