"Any effort to get people to pay attention to the abuses of western foreign policy helps weaken public trust in the propaganda machine which lies about those abuses, and any effort to weaken public trust in the propaganda machine helps the effort to expand people’s circle of compassion.

We’ve still got our work cut out for us, but what the hell else are we going to do? "

Beautifully stated! We've been trying to do the same at The Revolution Continues as well. If you can share the information that isn't being shared (deliberately so) by the propaganda machine, you will cause others to see how they've been propagandized by those in authority they trusted. Once trust in authority is eroded, it's difficult to impossible to regain. You've seen behind the "curtain" and you know those pulling the levers to hurt us are also pulling levers to hurt others. We start to care about the fate of our fellow passengers on this spaceship Earth. It's not going to happen overnight, but every day, every hour, every minute, another one of us will begin to understand who we can really trust and how to show compassion.
