After 9/11 we were told that al-Qaeda was the enemy of America but then also that a top member of the organization dined at the Pentagon after the supposed terror attack occurred. Now we're backing members of al-Qaeda in Libya for "humanitarian" reasons as they carry out a brutal genocide of black Africans and behead enemy soldiers after they surrender.
On 9/11 we were told that Building 7-- a building which anyone with two eyes and common sense can tell was brought down with explosives-- was brought down by random fires, despite the fact that no steel framed skyscraper has collapsed because of fire before or after that day.
In schools we teach kids about "good touch" and "bad touch", and that nobody is allowed to touch their privates, but at airports glorified mall cops are allowed to stick their hands in a child's pants because children, like all Americans, are potential terrorists.
In politics we're told to be civic minded and "participate in our democracy" but then demonized and visited by FBI agents when we peacefully confront our elected officials about issues important to us.
In economics we're told that each new constant piece of bad news "may threaten our recovery"...recovery defined as an abstract phenomenon, occurring so slowly it essentially stands still, which nobody can actually see happening around them, and which we're told is just around every corner while we're also prepared for an inevitable future of austerity.
It's a world perfectly crafted by government and media in order send mixed messages and create confusion so that nobody can believe anything is real, or agree to any common sense principles anymore. It weakens minds slowly so that people don't trust their own perceptions enough to speak out, afraid that what they see is what might not really be, falling silent out of fear of backlash from the equally fearful mob around them and the sadistic torturer standing above.
The conditioning has gone into hyperdrive now that a mass awakening has started to take place, and more people are taking the initiative to steer their own minds by trying to see through the smoke and mirrors of their control freak handlers.
What happened in Gaby's school was not a lesson about stereotypes, but a demonstration of mass mental manipulation, quietly backed by an educational institution with only a few people at the top, middle, and bottom rungs aware that it was taking place. It's a model which the big boys and girls in the real world of government and corporate control can pin a ribbon on, like a famous novelist judging a 10th grade short story contest...a "job well done, kid" from the people who do it for a living, and something they can use themselves to teach the same lesson to the slaves at home:
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it might be a duck...unless it actually isn't and we dressed it up to look like one, or we simply say that it isn't. Since you're obviously not qualified to judge for yourself, you better let us do it for you. Go back to sleep.
