Yeah, LH, a convoy of TVs going around Afghanistan. Saw it on the news. Village to village, getting the propaganda tools in place even before medical facilities were up and running.

Television...Super Sunday I watched about 10 minutes of the Super Bowl half-time show. One commercial for one of the on-line job-finders...Monster.com?...had an interesting piece of propaganda. At least, I recognized it as propaganda.

A large semi-trailer truck is careening down the road, out of control. Lots of sparks and collisions. Cut to someone at a computer typing in Monster.com. A moment later, the guy is in the driver's seat of the truck, rasslin' it back onto the road and all is well. Some lip-flap about finding the job that's right for you.

So I see that and I think about the trucking industry in the U.S. A year ago, union drivers were struggling to get by driving for thirty cents per mile, I think it was. Then, within the last year, the border with Mexico was absolutely destroyed, and now Mexican drivers are driving around our country, working for THREE cents per mile. My research on this is old and I'm working from memory, but I think that's the basics.

So I sit there and watch this ad, which is a cute ad, but it DIVERTS the viewer's attention from the fact that American trucking is dead. And any viewer who saw that ad probably thinks he or she can ALWAYS get a job as a trucker, because that's what the ad implied.

And the Bush junta has started paying Hollywood to insert this kind of idea into television spots. Like 'product placement' of Coke and Pepsi, the government is now actually budgetting money to go to Hollywood to insert messages in scripts. Things like Torture is good, Constitution is bad, Concentration camps are needed, etc. Seriously. They call it 'idea placement'.

Television is making lemmings of you, people. It will lead you off a cliff someday. In 1947 the U.S. govt brought the Nazi death-camp doctors to this country to carry on their psychological 'research', and you're seeing the result of it now every time you turn on the tube, whether you know it or not.
