A man testified in the Superior Court of Ontario, Canada. some 30 years ago. After testifying he left the court

room. The crown counsel for Canada (AECL) followed after him. They tried to bribe him. His lawyer had put

a listening device under the man'suit jacket. They had tried in the past. He had just given damaging testimony

against a large industry. The man's lawyer came out and removed the device. Both crown counsel returned,

towering over the man one said, " Mr. Paulson, we will disinform you and your family for the rest of their lives

for what you did today.." The man, B H Paulson. The industry: nuclear. The subject :Chalk River meltdown

1958, 210 cancer operations (plutonium). True danger of Low Level Radiation. FUN HEY

hi. the graphics at the beginning of this post looks very similar to the Fair Trade logo. was this on purpose? and if so, is the author of this post feel the Fair Trade non-profit organization is not legit? just curious.. sometimes, I can't tell if I'm paranoid, reading into something too far, or correct.

Most of these points are made by people who genuinely cannot understand what you are driving at. They are signs of their own confusion. The writer of this list should get used to the idea that he/she is much cleverer than most other people, and needs to tame his/her arguments, and present them in a *very simple and clear* format, to be better understood!

An interesting topic. my partner of 23 years, who never believes a word the 'alternative' press publishes, must have read this disnifo manual: He sometimes smiles in a most superior mannert at things that I tell him, or giggles (most irritating), or just avoids discussing certain topics when I bring them up. Our conversation is getting more and more limited as a result.

The truth is the most liberating of all things, but as that line in "A Few Good Men" goes…

"You can't handle the truth !"

A wise sage once commented…

"It doesn't matter what you think we will all know the truth and what is correct in the end !"

You are 100% correct that almost all "opinion polls" are used in mass media to CREATE and SHAPE public opinion – not to measure what public opinion actually is.

If you ever notice their little disclaimers, like "margin of error 3%" and crap like that – knowing anything about statistics you'd know it is nearly impossible to know that sort of thing if you're being intellectually honest about it – which they are not, of course – so they simply throw that in so that people will see it, and therefore believe "hey there's some scientific way they know this stuff, and they must be smarter than me, so I should just believe it".

How many people have you ever known who told you that they were ever polled about anything? That's a big clue right there.

Most "polling" is as much or more a lie than the actual news itself, and yes, it is a very big propaganda tool to manipulate people by the "flock mentality" principle, using people's natural, innate desire to be agreeable and "normal", and to be on the "winning side" – hey if 75.4% of the American people want this new police state thing, then I guess I'm weird and being paranoid if I don't want it, right?

Wrong.

In most cases, if a poll was even done at all and it wasn't just manufactured out of thin air, the reality is that maybe 20% of a few hundred people agreed, but were "guided and goaded" by carefully designed questions that positioned them in such a way that they were limited to giving the answers that were favorable to what the polling designers wanted it to show.

And is there any sort of Honesty Police out there checking to see if mass media networks are being truthful about polls and auditing their data? When you get done laughing….the answer is a big NO. They can (and do) say pretty much whatever they want to with regard to polling, and they do it all the time with zero consequences or penalties.

This is a very big and good point you've recognized here – cheers to you for paying attention and bringing it up!

I'm that betting 99.2% of VC readers will totally agree with you (plus or minus .08%) lol

These are the primary tactics handed down by the rulers of the world and used by the leaders who have a face to show on tv (or choose to stay hidden). These tactics are not becoming of MANY of our leaders natural person. Obama for example is an extremely intelligent lawyer who happened to end up in the white house where he was given the "law" that he must follow "or else". Its pretty obvious that our president is not a criminal, nor a fraud, or any other derogatory term people use to show their disgust. He is a VICTIM of the circumstances of being president of the United States of America. WATCH: If Ron Paul makes it to the white house, you will not see him have the ability to carry out 90% of his campaign. The white house simply DOES NOT ALLOW for this to happen. I think we all know how much of a stand up guy Ron Paul is but I see him making to the white house at a litmus to WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN THE WHITE HOUSE and BEYOND OUR SO CALLED GOVERNING BODIES. This is a wake up call. Perhaps Ron Paul will not be allowed to make it into the white house for this very reason. He would make it so obvious that the office of president in the united states is forcibly corrupt that even the sheeple would realize that something was going on. As for Obama, do you really think he wants to "destroy" the united states or make is a social state? WAKE UP! He is just like you and me, excpet he has an agenda of fear and control that has been chained to his neck. He can either hand himself with it or lug it around and you seem him lugging it around every time he talks on television.

Regardless, good change is occurring and will continue to occur. That being said, ITS NOT THE PERSON WHO IS PRESIDENT WHO YOU SHOULD BE DISGUSTED WITH, IT IS THE AGENDA OF THE RULERS OF THE WORLD.
