Trapped in the nightmare
We are such fucking rubes :banghead: :cry: :banghead:

I just watched the Larry King terror discussion clip on the front page http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x418757 and it's got to be one of the most disappointing things I've seen in a long time. It's as if nothing has changed, NOTHING! Just the same old shit being served up under a new regime.

We've got Obama's Homeland Security Bureaucrat blaming "intelligence stove-piping" ala Bush and the 9/11 commission. Of course just like back then, lots of lip service paid to this canard, but no meaningful reforms. We've got semi-asshole, Ron Paul, trying to inject a bit of sanity by stating the obvious: "They hate us because we're occupiers", and total asshole, Ben Stein, calling his statement of fact "anti-Semitic.":wtf:

We've got the same ancient clips of ultra-bogeyman, Osama Bin Ladin, firing weapons and training jihadists... And we've got the American people shitting themselves with fear. Nearly a decade later we're still at day one.

1. the pigmedia tells us not only what we think
but what we THINK we think we think we THINK we THINK we think we think! Reminds one of something circling a drain, don't it?

2. Theory of Mind
In psychology, they call this a theory of mind i.e., can I tell what other people are thinking by the way they are behaving? In the case of the media, it's more likely a theory of shit i.e., can I tell other people how to behave by throwing up any sort of shit?

3. Not sure what to call it
but it seems like no one is paying attention. We've seen this bad movie already...
