When someone makes so well such powerfully concise statements broadcast to a wide audience such as this, it still bears repeating, for those who are mentally blinded by their eight+ years of bias against these truths, because of the spin perpetuated incessantly by the Clinton 'cullions,' a good word in need of revival.

It is my view that the antidote to THE BIG LIE promulgated by the clinton agitprop machine is THE BIG TRUTH. With the advent of the internet, we have the power to bypass the elitist media and bring the truth directly to the people. The internet is a powerful weapon, but we must learn how to harness it.

Information overload is a problem that has only been exacerbated by the internet. The answer to information overload is the systematic propagation of information; that is to say, the answer to information overload is PROPAGANDA...

If we are to succeed, we must exploit propaganda techniques; we must adapt them to this new venue; we must not be afraid to use them...

Film Noir in the White House

Leni Riefenstahl, the film genius who outmaneuvered propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels to chronicle Hitler's 1934 Nuremberg rallies in perhaps the most notorious documentary ever filmed, Triumph of the Will, symbolizes the naïve actress and director who is induced to deal with devils -- Nazi-pantalooned then. . . nasty, pantless (or pantsuited) now . . .
 
After the war, Riefenstahl excused her effort as pure documentary -- watch for Streisand, Spielberg, Geffen et al. to do the same one day -- yet she compiled one section, Hitler's motorcade to Munich, from several different events and shot the closeups of Nazi leaders at the podium in a staged studio sequence.
 
As Riefenstahl told it, editing-to-perfection was crucial. She insisted that the finished quality of Triumph of Will came from her editing, not from any imposition of "posed shots" or choreography on her part. With her innovative editing techniques, Riefenstahl deliberately and selectively aestheticized Hitler and the Congress' proceedings. By editing out a shot of Hitler wiping his nose and including instead "more interesting expressions," by eliminating the human, Riefenstahl eliminated the inhuman.
 
The only difference today, in this era of ubiquitous cameras, continuous news and the shameless auteur-tyrant, is that the useful-idiot Washington Press Corps, spun by and on the Hollywood-Arkansas Axis, edits out the clintons' inhumanity (and ineptitude) in real time. . .
