We all know AIPAC has a war with Iran in the pipeline, the question is will the US military be willing to fight it? Sorry for the rhetorical question, but should they, I hope they get their asses pounded in spades. The Persians are brighter and tougher than this mess of a military we've assembled. Not to mention they will be defending their homeland and will fight like cornered dogs.
The vast majority of the people I try to talk to are willfully ignorant at best and that goes for my family as well. In the twenty years I have been a truth seeker, I have woke up maybe 2 people.

Aaron Russo's Freedom to Fascism is a good starting point.
Oh, I thought you were talking about a particular program or system of DVD's.
I had copies of Freedom to Fascism that I handed out to no avail. I have handed out so many DVD's to "dead heads" it's ridiculous. Hence, my favorite term "ostrichsheep". It is very appropriate when discussing most creatures (I hesitate to classify them as humans) that reside in this country at least.

'willfully ignorant' is the part that gets me, plugging their ears, "I don't wanna know." - it angers me now to the point I can not hide it anymore
I know many think this guy Icke is a joke, but I really appreciate the work coming from him and a few rare others last few months:

Aaron Russo's Freedom to Fascism is a good starting point.
Just go to his site and order some to hand out to family, friends, and complete strangers.
You'll have the personal satisfaction of knowing that you tried...
Jim:
I sent that packet of DVDs to Mendenhall of Steeler fame, and the dude sent me a thank-you note. That packet had to contain at least 50? DVDs which I now assume are circulating among his inner clique.

The actual biblical quote is "the truth will make you free"
In other words, you have no choice. If the jailer opens the door to the cell, that's one thing. But to have the jailer open the door and physically push you out of the cell is something a little different.

I don't have a TV, but I do scavenge the newspapers where i drink coffee and wifi.
I was happy to see the local Oregon Ducks quarterback is going pro along with the arrogant LaMichael James. I have yet to see an Oregon Duck game, and hope they lose more games next season.
I did win a bet and watch an entire Pro football game on TV once in 1972. It was excruciatingly boring, but somehow I managed it.

I can totally relate, I find sports an annoying distraction from actually living life. Sitting around getting excited about an overpaid moron "scoring a point" or "making some play" is hero worship at it's lowest.
The whole idea of letting a certain color jersey be the determining factor as to whether I am happy (the color I want scores) or sad (the other color scores) is not only stupid but a waste of time. With "free agency" these days, worshipping a group because they represented your tribe (school, city or state) are gone, it really boils down to worshipping a jersey.
Living vicariously through talmudvision is the most asinine and unenlightened way to waste a huge portion of this life we are given by our creator.
If people were using talmudvison to actually learn something that would be different, but even in that case the information is tainted by the agenda of it's controllers.
The other big problem with the TV is the depletion of our nuero peptides (brain chemicals). Normal life only requires the release of these elaborate endorphins on not to often occasions like when your daughter comes home and says someone tried to rape her..... Your response is one of rage, anger and action to "kill" the party responsible.
But in today's slack jawed miscreant TV culture where their endorphins have been depleted by endless programs that portray events that normally take years to occur. These events occur in the span of 2 hours causing endorphins to be depleted that are responsible for many of our emotions, causing our responses to be dulled/muffled. That holds true for all of our normal human responses to love, excitement, anger, joy, animation and so on. TV destroys cultures by dampening all normal human responses to the point where the receiving party of the response walks away with the thought...."I guess I'm not important' or "they don't really care"
TV is the greatest enemy for us and the greatest tool of the elite. If you continue to give them "access to your mind" then you are a fool and cannot become a Tully independent and enlightened being of which you WERE intended to be.

I took the world of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 as a prophetic warning decades ago.
Today, we metaphorically kill the world of reading and by extension critical learning culturally. just listen to the dumbed down 1984like news-speak most people utter and they grunt their short interpersonal communications as they converse. That is, if you call thinking about what one wants to say while the other party is speaking instead of listening conversation.
In the world of Fahrenheit 451 people party in front of high definition flat screens that are all high quality color and sound with no real content. They want instant gratification and pleasure and have learned well how not to think too deeply about anything.
The violence in the book is black and white culture war with dramatic death and destruction to it, and at the end of the book when the main character Guy Montag escapes by the skin of his teeth, the robotic drone hound kills a patsy merely out for a walk that the government's surveillance culture had long known about as it did everything else unusual about particular people who dared not fit the norm the powers that be value in their herd of workers. After all, if the powers that be turn a pursuit into a reality TV spectacle, it has to have a 'happy' ending to make the all powerful seem all just and good.
When I first read that incredible book in the late 1960s I deeply suspected and feared it accurately forecast the future, and I am sad in the knowledge that my suspicions were far too correct not to be painful to bear.
In my world, all the best people I know are Guy Montags. I also try always to be one myself.
thats a great post you wrote! I dont watch tv, but at the same time, I realize that most people watch tv & ball games to relax, so i dont really hold it against them.

I know I am kinda harsh on sports fans. But the deal is, I have a couple of friends who totally immerse themselves in sports. They watch college and pro basketball, football and baseball. It is their religion and it drives me crazy to see them spend so much time on the couch staring at the boobtube endlessly.
Normal viewing occasionally to have a few beers and snack with friends and share some camaraderie is perfectly fine. Hell, we all have activities that we engage in occasionally that are a waste of time and sometimes counter productive. Don't get me started on my stupid choices from time to time.
But thanks for the compliment :)

I'd dare say that could apply to internet 4ums too :) I know what you mean about sports fans. I went to a big football school & thought they were weird even when i was a kid. Absurd the way people get so excited about nonsense.

It is to some degree, but not near the level of staring at a box and cheering.
The Internet forums are interactive, sports watching is basically passive. On forums you are always learning and exercising your brain. Any exercise like typing helps sharpen your brain.
There is much more I could expand on, but you get my point.
The two are not really in the same league. We are hear sharpening our skills to help spread truth to make the world a better place. Worst case scenario we at least are slowing tyranny's march by exposing them.
