"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
How Propaganda Keeps You Wound Up Like A Clockwork Orange
"As you watch the snooze, er, “news,” notice the psychological tricks that are being foisted upon you. Why is the focus something mundane and irrelevant, like a celebrity’s nipple or a litter of kittens being born? Why are the newscasters talking to you like you’re a 5th grader? Why is the newscast about depression followed by an ad for the pharmaceutical pill that will magickally make you happy? Why is the teen sexting piece followed by an ad for the latest smartphone and sex app? All of this is a scientific tactic of psychological manipulation. This is why the Pentagon places Psy Ops soldiers at local news stations."
