8. The power of myth....
Edited on Tue Jul-07-09 04:35 PM by happydreams
For the greatest enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. -- JFK

JFK knew the myths when he became president. He knew how the MIC run corporate media had indoctrinated the public to believe in all the bullshit about Communism, Cuba and the Soviet Union. His access to top secret documents opened his eyes. After his first gestures toward peace his head was blown off. I have come to know from years of research that the fascists fear peace above all else, like the devil fears good. They have subverted it at every turn. Obama has no more control over these things than a flea on a Rhino's ass has of getting the Rhino to go in a given direction.

There is, as has been said, a peace that comes with knowing; but there is also a danger of knowing too much for then you may spark the beasts ire.
