[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1153093, member: 2189"] Nice try but Mule won't look. And if he did look he'd know that the term "Cold War" was more propaganda buzzwords embedded in the American psyche by the mental manipulator Walter Lippmann. Upstate posted that sales of Orwell's 1984' have skyrocketed which is good but the people would be greater served IMO if they read Lippmann's 1922' book "Public Opinion" or Edward Bernays 1928' book "Propaganda" to better understand [B]what[/B] we are really thinking and the [B]why[/B] and [B]how[/B] might be better understood for starters in reading John Taylor Gatto's "The Underground History of American Education." But I just don't see Mule doing that and not that he's by any means alone either. I also found this little YouTube piece linked below worthy of thought in understanding the false nature of the claims of the cold war. Equally true of the false claims of the War on Terror as Adam Curtis above brings to light. This is just the tip of the ice berg if one is willing to even look. What also is left out of this film clip I'm linking below in regards to United Fruit Company in Guatemala was that then CIA Director Allen Dulles did legal work for United Fruit and even sat on it's board of directors while John Foster Dulles, Allen's brother as Sec. of State also held an economic interest. Talk about a conflict of interest all the way around. The whole "Guatemala as communist beachhead" was nothing but pure PR and ironically this line of propaganda was created by the hired PR man for this effort. And who was the PR man? Edward Bernays which I believe he discusses in the documentary film "The Century of the Self". Same is true of the old domino theory used to justify Vietnam which if one would view the film, "The Fog of War", Robert McNamara himself sez was BS while also admitting the events of the Gulf of Tonkin as told to the American public never happened. Yet the false cold war narrative of world domination continued and thus 58k American soldiers in effect died to perpetuate a lie. And to think the current progeny of this CIA, themselves admitted killers and mental manipulators, are the same now who spy on us at every turn and yet tell us stories and then use appeals to authority to which we vacuum up as assumed truth and never question the underlying storyline using critical thinking. And we think the claim of Osama bin Laden aka Tim Osman being a CIA asset is impossible and the rants of a conspiratorial lunatic? There may be more fiction than truth there but admitted past practice suggests we would be wise to consider the possibilities.
