A week or two ago, Dr. Gina on Real America’s Voice had a whole segment comparing what’s being done to us by the government to domestic abuse. It was uncanny.
There are a lot of parallels. Have you ever read “Propaganda” by Bernays? I think it was written in the late 20’s and it explained how the combination of bacon and eggs became popular (something to do with having a lot of pork bellies that they couldn’t sell or something). The book was available for free online a couple of years ago and it was a fast and interesting read. Anyway, I got pretty annoyed with myself for having been so easily manipulated as demonstrated by the methods outlined in the book. It’s nice to have exposure to different worldviews now that we have the web.
