propaganda and virtual landscape
From the my friends at Disinfopedia, comes this wonderful fieldguide to propaganda which should be required reading for anyone lost in the current morass of doublethink and doublespeak. Read it and weep.
And from the department of virtual landscapes,the Old Man of the Mountain, collapsed yesterday after millenia of glaring down from the top of New Hampshire’s Cannon Mountain. Admittedly it had been “held together with a lot of manmade life support: water-protective fiberglass covers and four metal turnbuckles to secure the forehead”, during its last few decades, but now it has completely crumbled. There is a lively debate happening as to whether it should be replaced with a fibreglass replica. Disney would be proud. What would be more fun, is if New Hampshire changed its license plates to reflect the eroded state of its geomorphology. Maybe they could do something about the”Live Free or Die” motto on the plates as well. That slogan could do with a bit of erosion, given the current state of civil liberties in post 9/11 America
