Subject: Re: censorship
There was some sniggering when I proposed a mild
form of censorship, just to preserve self-respect.
That's ok with me, but what about all this voluntary
censorship?
Hermann Goering at Nuremberg: "The people can always
be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked
and then denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any
country."
In the free world no dictators are needed anymore to
force public opinion.
Chomsky, Oct. 2002: "The main question today is how
and when to attack Iraq. In the mainstream media, you
find an occasional voice saying there might be some
problem about committing the crime for which people
were hanged at Nuremberg, by attacking another country
with who knows what effect without even a pretext.
Right so, better be quiet. The one that says
how it is, gets the blame. Goes for Heidegger,
goes for Eminem.
Cuz what you say is what you say
Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin it
Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin it
So who you playin with huh huh huh huh?
..... or the ministry of truth......?
