A message from Randall Packer: Do You Still Own Your Reality?

Message from the Secretary of the US Department of Art & Technology:

The Republicans are heightening the attack, ramping up their spin
strategies to reinforce disinformation in order to fool the country
into re-election.

Straight out of the playbook from Orwell's 1984...

They continue to retool their highly refined doublespeak tactics to
maintain a stranglehold on the reality of unsuspecting Americans.

Have the Republicans co-opted your reality?

According to columnist Tina Brown in the Washington Post discussing
the VP debate:

"Cheney found a more primitive way to bluff with a bad hand... In a
culture of blatherers, Cheney intimidates with his silences, his
stingers, and above all his awesome capacity to stare down the
evidence and assert that black is white."

Despite the fact that this week, the administration's own Paul
Bremer, Don Rumsfeld, and the weapons investigator Charles Duelfer
have all declared the reason's for going to war were deeply flawed,
as well as the so called follow-up plan, Bush and Cheney not only
stand their ground, they tighten their tenuous grip on a fictional
narrative designed to disguise their true ambition to control the
oil-rich middle east.

The real issue in this election though, is America going to wake up
to the dream (or nightmare) it finds itself in? Can we lift the veil
on the disinformation pouring out of the White House. Can we take
command of our own reality?

Or has America's reality been permanently hijacked by the Republicans
and their media propaganda machine?
