Thread Name: BS: Weapons of Mass Deception (WMD's)
Subject: BS: Weapons of Mass Deception (WMD's)
It's time to address the real threat, not the made-up one. He who most effectively controls and uses Weapons of Mass Deception, is the greatest threat to the World.

Some of those weapons being:

* * * * *

The stealing of an election, through legal chicanery and friends in the right places.

The smearing of the reputations of those who would expose Mass Deception, such as inspectors who reported Iraq's lack of WMD's to the U.N.

The control of a compliant mass media, which willingly repeats lies, exaggerations, and misconceptions, and dares not question authority.

The notion that it's perfectly all right to attack people who have not attacked you and effectively cannot attack you.

The blaming of an act of terrorism on people who didn't do it.

The launching of an unprovoked war of aggression supposedly as an act of self-defence.

The practice of colonialism under the guise of national liberation.

The assertion that one is defending democracy when one is doing nothing of the sort.

The assertion that one is serving God and humanity when one is doing nothing of the sort.

The notion that mass murder in the cause of patriotism is an excellent idea.

The idea that any domestic opposition to a war of aggression is disloyal and unpatriotic.

The practice of sounding like a believer in "freedom" while in fact taking away people's freedoms and constituional protections, piece by piece.

* * * * *

A public that allows itself to be seduced by Weapons of Mass Deception long enough eventually finds itself in the terrible position that Germans found themselves in in the 1940's...and the Germans are not a stupid people.
