The Real Secret is Our Psychological Subordination To The Spoon-fed Imagination

The Bureau of Public Secrets published a cartoon bringing this concept home. This is a slightly edited version, meant for wider audiences. If we can comprehend Western Democracies as being oriented to *thought control* as Chomsky points out, it should be no large step to understand the depth of our psychological genocide, as this art illustrates.

They understand what we wanted in the early 1970's...They create certain events, and they manipulate the economics, and they manipulate circumstances because they want us to react the same way that we did in the 1960's so that they can come in and they can smash our movements.
