"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
No Worries the Economy is Doing Awesome...Wait...
Propaganda 101: The dupes and useful idiots look for articles, interviews, etc. that confirm their point of view, and, because they are not on an honest journey for truth, do not ever follow up to see what they heard was true. Nor do they over intentionally look for information that would contradict their point of view. Good Morning America says the job report is positive, consumer spending is up, terrorists are scary and evil, democracy is good, etc. etc.
So how do our rulers at the Labor Department use their PROP101 knowledge?
Step 1: Put out good job numbers.
Step 2: In the following days and weeks, gut that "good number".
Simple. No one looks, no one cares.
The people who do look, find. When they atttempt to bring this knowledge to their neighbor? "You a conspiracy theorist bro?"
