These self-styled opinion-formers, academic gurus and their little cliques do have too much - and sometimes sinister - influence on policy, but it is surely up to us, the people at large, to deny them the satisfaction of leading us like sheep to the killing-fields they desire. <BR/><BR/>I foresee the Internet and blogging playing an increasingly powerful role in redressing the balance against these manipulative minorities as more and more of us make OUR voices heard.anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580535460030164028.post-23022300868374058002007-02-09T09:31:00.000+00:002007-02-09T09:31:00.000+00:00You are pampering us with your articles, Anticant....You are pampering us with your articles, Anticant.<BR/><BR/>You have backed this one with a string of truths which we should consider in depth and act consequently.<BR/><BR/>The "Noble Lie" advocated by Leo Strauss is to blame for everything that is happening nowadays from the 9/11 attacks through the running up to and the invasion of and post-invasion in Iraq and similar conflicts around the world. When we are informed of any of these conflicts those who inform always try to instill fear into us. Contradictory news are also a mechanism to enhance that fear, and the weapons those who have brewed those lies are mediocre politicians as you rightly say.<BR/><BR/>Is it cowardice that we are led to? Where is that bravery that so much men and women of olden times boasted?<BR/><BR/>Have we been reduced to mere "slaves" of the news which have been proved to be as powerful and dangerous as any lethal weapon?<BR/><BR/>Indeed it is time for action.Josehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081096450259201426noreply@blogger.com
