The United States is a nation of lies: corporate media lies in the service of State Department, Pentagon and White House lies – a congealed, fictional mass that only Americans believe.
The most mundane facts of economy are corrupted beyond recognition.
“The court scribes who tell us that a statistical blip is proof of economic recovery or that the president had no choice but to accept the ‘Satan sandwich’ budget deal are no better than propagandists in dictatorial states.” Actual journalism is largely extinct.
“The press corps in Libya, who actively assisted NATO in destroying that nation, committed international war crimes in the process.”
You are right, our propaganda system is the most successful and complete one in human history. Even exceeding the pharaonic system of ancient Egypt, where the rulers convinced the common people they were gods.Anyone with an non-corporate agenda is attacked, ridiculed or ignored/fired, but those supporting that agenda have no fear of being challenged no matter how thin their tissue of lies are. However I disagree about Ghadaffy, he was a dictator who killed more people than he ever helped.
