Let us not forget this

From Project Censored:

Voter Fraud (August 2005)

We're in a bad situation, people. How bad can hardly be overstated.
As the author says, amusing ourselves to death, or into shackles.

I find footnote 36 to be chilling, a reflection of the delusional and psychotic nature of those in power.

36 This is in keeping with Lewis Carroll’s Red Queen’s logic. The Bush White House sees itself as part of the “faith-based community,” consciously rejecting empirical reality and inconvenient facts, considering these to be the province of what it calls the “reality-based community.” As New York Times journalist Ron Suskind chillingly recounts: “In the summer of 2002 …I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush….The aide said that guys like me were ‘in what we call the reality-based community,’ which he defined as people who ‘believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.’ I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ‘That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.’'' (Ron Suskind, “Without a Doubt,” the New York Times Magazine, October 17, 2004.)

OH REALLY?!?! How stupid do these folks think we are?!?!

Anonymous, they think we're really, really stupid.
They, however, are the ones who are "creating reality as they go." Oh, and "judiciously."
Right.

Stop the Spying!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
