N.Y. report denounces shock use at school
Looks like the generational incremental, piecemeal, and continuous conditioning hasn't changed much, it's still marching forward.
"Conspiracy theory as a theory of power, then, is an ideological misrecognition of power relations, articulated to but neither defining nor defined by populism, interpellating believers as "the people" opposed to a relatively secret, elite "power bloc." Yet such a definition does not exhaust conspiracy theory's significance in contemporary politics and culture; as with populism, the interpellation of "the people" opposed to the "power bloc" plays a crucial role in any movement for social change. Moreover, as I have argued, just because overarching conspiracy theories are wrong does not mean they are not on to something. Specifically, they ideologically address real structural inequities, and constitute a response to a withering civil society and the concentration of the ownership of the means of production, which together leave the political subject without the ability to be recognized or to signify in the public realm."~Fenster, Mark (1999)

Folks, as I sit in my tinhat, this is methodical relentless and systemic. Ever seen a Buffalo Jump? the masses are being herded into an ideology. Metaphorically and quite literally i.e. physically. What other conclusion can there be? I will proudly be wrong, but I fear I'm not.
Here's a few examples of the "concentration of the ownership and the means of production" :
1) Ford is Firing 25,000 Americans, & investing $9.2Billion in Mexico to hire 150,000 mexicans. Last week Organized Labor put on a "take back America" conference. Clearly shutting down this initiative must be the focus of the conference. No? My goodness not one word. It was all about teaming up w/the JackAss Party to destroy America.
2). xUS Elites Accelerating transformation of xUS into Third World Nation by destroying American jobs & unions. Here's info. on the plan to build a super-highway from Mexican Ports straight through to Canada. Our goods, which must be manufactured here, will instead be manufactured in China, etc., wasting oil being shipped to Mexico. There they will be unloaded by mexicans to help destroy American Longshoremens Union, then driven to whatever's left of our country & Canada, by mexican drivers, further helping destroy the Teamsters. They will not encounter customs til Kansas City. Oh, and Thom Hartmann announced last night, the Predators are trying to sell this new superhighway of our destruction to Spain. more info.
(Didn't see any mention of these @kos circle-jerk either. In fact, I suspect if you dared post diaries on this you'd get the fly swatter treatment.)
As far as oil geopolitics, MKlare has finally written a Superb article on geopolitics of Iran. here.
