LaRouchePAC Fireside Chat - Get Off the News Cycle Roller-coaster; It is Costing Us a Country

Published: Feb. 1, 2019, 4:32 p.m.

Where do you stand on Venezuela, pro regime change or not? What about the Wall? Are you for it or against it? Will losing the Wall fight cost Trump the Presidency as many who voted for him state? What about abortion? Did you know that the Democratic Governor of Virginia just endorsed infanticide, following the path plowed by Cuomo in New York? Single payer, would it bankrupt us? Is it really the best system? These are just a few of the issues plucked from yesterday’s headlines which are designed to cause you to immediately respond. Take a position. This is the discourse. This is the range of thought. Do you intuit, correctly, that this presentation of what you should be concerned about is manufactured in some way? After all, these issues seem real, and they are. But, they are also based on years of surveillance and profiling of your preferences and ideas about yourself and your society. And their presentation is designed to evoke a simple thumbs up, thumbs down, just like the games at the coliseums of Rome. Hitler, after all, dispensed with all institutions of government but claimed he was democratic by presenting questions directly to the public in plebiscites.
