VFTB Live: Proper Propaganda

IN THE wake of Osama bin Laden's official demise, especially since the only evidence is the ever-changing story from the White House (which ignores the eight previous declarations of Osama's death), we ask what seems to us the obvious questions: how do we know he's really dead, and what would the government gain by withholding the real story?

Journalist and former CIA/DIA asset Susan Lindauer, author of Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover Ups of 9/11 and Iraq, discusses her new article, "A Time For Truth: Bin Laden's Death Won't End the War on Terror Until Americans Understand the Threat Was Always Us". Susan explains why taking out Osama won't bring our troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq; instead, she believes the government's propaganda machine is already preparing us for the next targets, Syria and Libya.

In the second hour, Andrew Hoffman, author of The New World Order and the Eugenics Wars: A Christian Perspective, talks about how governments throughout history have used propaganda to rally citizens behind policies they would normally never support.

Watch Andrew's presentation from The Politics of Relgion Conference, "Mass Propaganda: How Mass Media and Public Relations Creates a False Reality", at YouTube.

Also: the Indiana Supreme Court rules that Hoosiers have no right to resist when police unlawfully enter their homes. Is this significant? Well, you might say that; it overturns common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215.
