I live in a small village in a region that's a mix of small cities, suburbs and country (cows, cornfields and fruit farms.)
We get our government propaganda undiluted and this leads to some pretty interesting discoveries.
I remember when Kevin Klose, then head of NPR, came back to his home town near mine to give a "local boy makes good" talk "to the folks."
What did he talk about in the fall of 2002 - a full seven months before the invasion of Iraq?
This man, head of NPR, told local people that we needed to invade Iraq as soon as possible.
Now I see another example of "down home" propaganda.
I saw this headline in our local county paper:
"Young people plead for peace"
At first I thought it was kids protesting the 15th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq because the headline ran the same day of the anniversary.
No, this headline appeared in a "law and order" part of the country and is celebrating kids shutting their school down over anti-gun ownership hysteria.
I smell a Psy-Op.
