This sounds like it goes along very much with the 'mindwar' narrative, used since the Reagan years, circa 1980... Basically there are three principles used in order to control the 'masses'. 1. Create fear, terror and panic through some shocking event(like the Nazi Blitzkrieg, or Kennedy assasination or 9/11). 2. Portray your forces as 'too big' to conquer...use language and chaos to maintain central control. 3. Continue to assail the population, in order to further weaken their will, by various stress producers, feelings of lack of control of prices, and various other everyday means of mantaining oneself. Anyway, a lot of this goes on in our culture, and although we have gotten quite used to it, nonetheless, I think a time is coming soon, hopefully, to throw the brain-washers, off... R.G.
