The amount of information available via the internet is much greater and easier to access than going into libraries and other archives, it makes pulling back the curtain and looking at the backstage puppet handlers only a moderately difficult task at best. Before, the MSM was able to tell any story it wanted and have little worry about being caught. Hearst was able to start a war with Spain. The New York Times still proudly displays a Pulitzer for their series praising Uncle Joe Stalin and the USSR.<br />I hope that as more people become accustomed to getting their news for themselves instead of being stuck with the newspaper and TV, the more blatant manipulators will be seen for what they are.tweellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164718561825615886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99704500378481622.post-90185451312823036972011-06-03T10:50:23.804-07:002011-06-03T10:50:23.804-07:00DaShui!!!!

Very interested to hear your take on it.<br /><br />I have learned to be very skeptical about magical solutions to all our energy problems. But this one seems like it might have legs if you can get past the environmental effects. Something they have managed to do in Canada of all places.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99704500378481622.post-91502964686619438292011-06-03T08:38:58.300-07:002011-06-03T08:38:58.300-07:00My favorite scam is the zoning scam, that separate...My favorite scam is the zoning scam, that separates work and residential.
