TEA PARTY - Planning the 2nd Enlightenment (Part 2a of 3)
This is an excerpt from an article I wrote on Examiner.com regarding parallels of the current conditions in the USA to the conditions at the time of the 1st "Enlightenment". Please read the excerpt and, if you find it interesting, click on the link at the bottom of the excerpt to read the rest of the story for free.
"Before I say anything else, let us establish a baseline of expectation. Think critically. Do not passively accept any information from any source without vetting it yourself. Next I will say to you what no Politician would ever dare say: "Do not believe anything I tell you". Do not believe anything i tell you until you can vet it for yourself with your trusted sources and/or upon research in books, libraries and the internet. Do not believe anything i tell you until you know it well enough so you can explain and defend it to someone who would challenge you on that issue. Question everything.
Before we go further, it may be useful for you to review the information from TEA Party - Planning the Enlightenment (Part 1 of 3)
Next, please try to open your mind to a new perspective of the world around you. Your perception of reality has been distorted and colored by indoctrination, Propaganda, Censorship, Duplicity, misdirection, distraction and Lying, Smiling Faces. Ultimately, i will suggest to you that if you begin viewing the world around you from the perspective of Natural Law."

Not only an extremely good article,but a wonderful piece of advice.Certainly,never believe anyone without cross-checking and double-checking.We are living in age where our opinions are moulded and shaped by a powerful media,an effective tool of spreading canards and lies.Our consent is what Noam Chamsky aptly describes as 'manufactured consent'.
Pacifists are turned warmongers,truth is mutilated beyond recognition and real beneficiaries are power-that-be.Those who speak truth,write truth are dubbed as conspiracy-theorists.Men cease to be thinking animals,develop cattle mentality and are prone to be herded by wolves for protection from tail wagging dogs.This is the irony.
