The West's Hidden Propaganda Machine.
Brilliant article here - Eliane Glaser writes with clarity and insight. Here are some quotes:
"In the west today there is no distinction between propaganda, advertising and mass consumerism. A political system that protects elites and provides a mere illusion of democratic choice relies on a population enthralled by the latest iPhone."
"We are no longer appealed to as thinking
citizens. We are simply flawed units to be prompted into spending more and
costing the state less."
The "veneer of openness and people-power exemplifies western propaganda's
habit of masquerading as its opposite."

This is my online scrap book, I’m filling it with snippets from here and there which express my thoughts and preoccupations, worries and frustrations, as well as insights and occasional rare moments of revelation. I hope it becomes “an inexhaustible source of strength and a spiritual atom bomb of infinite power.” (!! acknowledgements to Lin Piao 1966), but at any rate, it’s a form of self expression, takes the pressure off, and maybe it’ll mean something to somebody. Dedicated to my daughter.
