The Great Deception: the propaganda that we pay for (part 1) - Pravda.Ru: "The war on terror is used like a beautiful magician's assistant, to distract the public while the magician does his tricks. As long as people are scared and busy with Osama Bin Laden, no one will be noticing the systematic erosion of their civil liberties, or the increasing inequality, or declining quality of their lives. Who cares if 37.0 million Americans live in poverty? Who cares if over 13 million families including 26.5 million children are living at the edge of the poverty (median income = $38000)? Who cares if the top 10% own 71.5% of everything in US ? As long as you are afraid of the evil 'terrorists' and are engaged in an unending war, you will not care."
