In response to ‘Stunning reversal’: New York Times poll finds US support for Israel has plummet

The beginning of the end of the propaganda state

The US business and political elites set out over 100 years ago to eliminate any real democracy that might have emerged in the US. That was brilliantly illustrated by Alex Carey in his revelatory book Taking the Risk out of Democracy.

Since the early part of last century, trillions have been spent by those elites on the most extensive and brilliant propaganda campaign to eliminate any possibility of democracy in the US. During that same period, billions have been spent by US and other Zionists to create a fantasy narrative of god-given Jewish rights to the land of Palestine.

Anyone interested can get a beautifully put together history of that campaign in a book written by Alison Weir called Against our better judgment.

What this demonstrates is the power of propaganda in eliminating democracy by creating a world of lies that then shapes the views of the population.

Finally, the stark reality begins to tear away at the tissue of lies. That is happening now in the US. New campaigns of propaganda are now being launched, but social media reveal the truth and begin to undermine the power of propaganda.
