10. They must control the WH "image", even down to the minute details
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 02:01 AM by Rex
This is one of the ways a governing body must use in order to establish legitimacy over a populace (since they didn't get elected).

There are four main ways to show legitimacy as a governing entity:

1. elected by the "people".
2. military force.
3. mass propaganda.
4. divine right of kings.

number one doesn't apply (we all know that). And they can't quite yet use number two (Ashcroft is working on it). Number four is also out.

That only leaves mass propaganda. I believe it is solely the Mainstream Press that gives Bush the power to rule over us. They have been an active participant in this deception from the very beginning. I believe some of them know that they are the only ones that prop up our little Emperor.
