"It's important to research and learn new things about the world"
I agree, which is why I started reading *National Geographic* again after about a 15 year or so absence. That past 15 years or so is what I call my awakening, or you might call "getting unplugged from the Matrix", or others may call "finding my way out of Plato's cave."
"and to this day most of the information they get about the world has some of its roots and branches in parts of the propaganda matrix."
OMG! Yes! I could not beleive how much propaganda I am now able to spot in even such an apolitical publication such as NG! Either they have changed a lot or I have or both. There is still a lot of good science and nature information in there, but I have to roll my eyes at a lot of stuff sprinkled throughout the articles. Wow.
You are correct. I realized some time back that National Geographic was a fairly reliable guide to where the U.S. empire builders planned to invade (covertly or overtly) next.
