the youtube you don't see

I saw it. Wait a couple of seconds. It's about the slaughtering of Iraqi citizens and the filming thereof a la Bradley Manning by John Pilger. You know, the only guy to have alerted the West as to what was happening in Cambodia under Pol Pot. If anyone's interested.

More need to pay attention to the distinguished and knowledgeable Mr. Pilger.

His past and present material.

[Dapper]

Indeed.

The little girl at around 14:30.....it is little wonder that she, (especially as she was probably deprived of education), is as I write, telling her children to hate the West.

That is, if she is still alive.

The Persuaders - John Garvey

I am reading this at the moment and it is about the growth of the advertising industry and the recent advances in understanding the way the human mind works irrationally which is now being used by the advertising industry and the political and corporate entities

you may well believe you are a rational and logical person , but if you analyse your actions truthfully you will be amazed at how often you are just a meatbag on a leash

I will be interested in seeing how much I can change myself to combat what is basically corporate mind control

^It's mighty tough to break the conditioning.

Especially for those of us who were TV babies, I remember the Marlborough ciggybutt adds got me started early on the gags.

Quite correct baldrick.

As children watching the boob tube we were all indoctrinated. Primary and secondary schools somewhat add to that and I won't even begin regarding religious institutions.

I literally am changing all the time and many of my perceptions I do and I must question...albeit I'm getting older and reading along with playing chess is taking a precedence.
Health issues will teach one about was is most important in their future. (IMHO)
