People Manipulation

What People Believe - by Charley Reese: ". . .And what exists right at this moment is a corrupt federal government with a foolish man in the White House. What exists at this moment is a military-industrial complex with a vested interest in war and conflict. What exists at this moment are unnecessary wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. What exists at this moment is a government solicitous of corporate welfare, but one that doesn't give a hoot about the individual American.

Rudyard Kipling said it so well when in a poem he wrote: 'If any question why we died / Tell them, because our fathers lied.' Be alert when you hear politicians talk about abstractions like patriotism, national security and international stability. They are trying to control you by controlling your mind."

The post explores the idea of where our attitudes and national identity come from. Well done and certainly worth a look.
