I’ve just read the sort of Main Stream Media sensationalism I despise. The story comes from the ABC News Propaganda Machine: Plot Would Have Killed Thousands.

Along with the Czar of Homeland Security, the MSM is still trying to convince the sheep that it’s necessary to check everybody’s liquid carryons at the airport. Unbelievably, Chertoff is still proclaiming that airliners are in danger of being blown up by liquid bombs, and it could be bigger than 9/11.

Just in case that didn’t crank your Pavlovian response and set your pulse racing, I’m sure Chertoff would be pleased if I added: 9/11!!! 9/11!!! 9/11!!!

There. Scared now?

Anyway, the government is still advertising fear of the liquid airline bombs variety, even though more logical minds have shown how liquid bombing an airplane is next to impossible.

MSM Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda

The ABC News story is the worst sort of “keep them afraid of a scary enemy” cooperation between the government and the media.

If you watch the ABC News video, notice that they show test explosion after test explosion. However, the reporter doesn’t dare mention that the liquid is too unstable to likely be brought onboard — or that once onboard, multiple liquids would have to be mixed drop by drop, over several hours, and with plenty of cooling equipment, and that it would produce fumes that would knock out any terrorist who was doing the mixing in the privy.

Also, note how the news video shows “test” planes being blown up and…did you catch that? Under his breath, the reporter mentions that those videos are from totally different tests performed during the investigation of an unrelated plane crash…one that in no way involved liquid bomb explosions. Nice how they slipped that under the radar while hammering home their message: Liquid Bombs, Planes, Dangerous, Jump through our hoops and you won’t go BOOM!

And that’s really what’s going on: we’re being trained to jump through hoops.

ABC News Lies

Unfortunately, all that most viewers will absorb from the ABC News propaganda is the message in the headline, images of planes exploding over and over and over, and why it’s necessary to follow any crazy instructions officials throw our way, even if it involves measuring baby formula and Kool-Aid into three-ounce portions and making sure all the containers are put in one-gallon plastic bags for no good reason.

Hypnotism is easy…just get the subject to follow your instructions — any instructions — until their logical brain becomes so bored with editing your commands that the commands are no longer questioned. Then you can tell the subject to act like a chicken, and the subject will act like a chicken.

No question, the corporate-owned government is using the corporate-owned media to bore us with following their instructions, getting us used to being manipulated, and keeping us stoked in fear so that we crave the secure feeling we get when we’re being manipulated.

Commenting on the terrorists that would destroy the American standard of life, Dale at Chewy Bytes sums it up best:

They failed. They failed to blow anything up. They failed to scare us. They failed to change our society. But the good Secretary comes to their rescue and does their work for them. Way to go Chertoff.

The Romans first coined the term Dog Days after Sirius, the Dog Star. Long ago, during the hottest, most sultry days of summer, the Dog Star rose at the same time as the sun (no longer true, due to the precession of the equinoxes).

Where I grew up, the term also brought to mind the image of pets that, during this period of summer, typically tolerated the midday hours by stretching out on a cool slab of concrete porch in the shade, if it could be had. The look on such a dog’s face was of utter boredom, with its big slobbery hound lips leaving wet Rorschach splotches on the concrete where said dog collapsed for its heat-of-the-day nap. And what else can a dog do but park for a nap during such baked days?

And so it goes the past couple of weeks here. I’m really feeling, and relishing, the dog days of summer. I’m relishing the sweltering vapidness because I know it’s human nature to fear change, and the dog days of early August seem to be the most invariant.

Yeah, I saw that Bush signed a law expanding eavesdropping so now a bunch of strange government spies can listen to our fiber optic communications in addition to all the electronic ones they filter through Echelon.

And, yes, I’m aware that certain candidates that have been approved by the establishment are criticising other candidates for accepting money from lobbyists while they themselves receive rewards from corporations and AIPAC, but lie about it and hide it better.

And, yes, I’m aware that the FBI still maintains there is no hard evidence linking bin Laden to 9/11, and that, in all probability it appears that bin Laden died in December 2001.

But, sitting here in Huntsville, Alabama, smack dab in the middle of a D4 drought — the most severe category of drought — while ExxonMobile pays forty policy groups to undermine the scientific consensus about the human influence on global warming, even these news items can’t seem to break the stagnating doldrums of my summer. And to some extent, I appreciate that calm, because I fear one day soon I will wish I had appreciated it more when I had the chance.

And yet, the kids went back to school last week, and got real live homework this week, and the windows on the house need a good caulking before winter, and even in this drought, there’s yard work that needs to be done…again. And, surprisingly, a few unregulated candidates survived the dog days of summer and they’re still refusing to be silenced by the corporate machine. And the lulled public is, perhaps, again primed for another false flag attack of epic proportions, and more change, and more change, and more change.

And so, I sense the world awakening, for better or worse, a hint of change already in the air, and the dog days of summer drawing to a close.
