Dan:
The (collective) brain of the populus has been mushed out by
mainstream media and is now irrelevant.
It's true that people have, in many ways, been brain-washed. But if the "public" isn't involved in changing the _status quo_, how are you going to do it for them? using a small elite or vanguard party? a self-selected group of people who know the Truth? engaging in "propaganda of the deed"?
Dan quotes:
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." George Orwell
what's the point of telling the truth if peoples' brains have been "mushed out"?
