Because make no mistake: these weren't military operations. These were everyday people, your neighbors, your classmates, who decided certain knowledge was too dangerous to exist. “. So frighteningly true in a multitude of other instances right now today … avian flu information not covered because the knowledge we might have another pandemic doesn’t need exposure, fear of immigrants , of non Christian religions and on and on. We are being overwhelmed by fear mongering used to control the population. Just let “daddy” protect you from anything that causes any cognitive or emotional dissonance. What saps people are and how easy to lose respect for people who so easily give up their independence because they are fucking too lazy to think or object or fight back.
