1. KnR
"Changing the perception of reality!" That is a key phrase. Subjective reality is at issue and who or what informs it and the status it is given is pivotal.

If we, collectively, cannot or will not see that as the crux of our dilemma, then all the shock and awe and complaining will only serve as more hiss in the background noise that props up the engine of manufactured consent and willful ignorance. Information is only potential propaganda and distraction without the desire and ability to discern. Blind faith in anything is an invitation to be deceived, disadvantaged and debilitated. Fools become experts only at hindsight, bemoaning horrendous results and groveling to the victors enthroned by folly.

You win nothing this way but a ticket to a potentially inescapable dystopia, friends and family included at no extra charge. It is like a stairway of enticements that lead to only one door. We have taken many steps to it already.

2. The video is a bit on the teabagging side, but I couldn't help thinking of a quote from Bill Hicks:
Edited on Wed Jun-02-10 11:21 AM by daggahead
"Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired.
Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up.
Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom.
Here you go, America! You are free to do as we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!"
