Honest to G, iI feel as if I am trapped inside the kind of story that would result if both le Carre and Ludlum were in a truly vile mood and decided to sit down together with a typewriter and a bucket of Scotch.

I have pretty much always laughed—albeit nervously at times—at the tinfoil hat legion. Earlier, someone alluded to the same thing and that maybe it is not tinfoil hat but Kevlar helmet time. The more I watch and listen to what is going on I become convinced that it's the old Goebbels quote in action:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

The easiest way to hide something is to not hide it. Put it right there in front of the peoples’ faces and let them stare at. Make it so unbelievably heinous and egregious that they cannot believe that they are actually looking at what they are looking at.

Our problem is not that we are being deceived; our problem is that we are in denial. That is not dangerous, that is dire.

Now you have me wanting to ‘escape’ with a good Ludlum or Carre novel and a bottle of scotch...lol

Don’t feel bad about the ‘tin foil hat’ stuff...welcome to the dark side...lol. I keep mine riveted to my head now, so all the frequencies are able to transmit, regardless of what Obama does to ‘change’ the weather and wind....LOL
