Reply #62: They'd have a hard time destroying the developing government [View All]

[Judi Lynn]

if they couldn't undermine and distort people's perception of it, right?

That's the foundation on which _Bush needs to build in order to gain support from his sponsors, the American taxpayers, as in the ignorant fantasy contrived to inflame Americans against the Iraqii government. They STILL are hard at it, too, trying to reinforce the lies they know we already see through.

Obviously they think we're idiots. In the case of a country like Cuba, it's pretty easy to tell us almost any yarn, knowing that as long as they can keep us from going there and checking it out for ourselves, we'll be tempted to believe it, UNLESS we start suspecting they've lied to us! Ha Ha Ha. We have had enough travelers to Cuba, some from outside the U.S. and not influenced by our own propaganda, right here on DU to help sharpen our reality-based awareness of that island.

You're right. Without context we got nada as a starting place for building perception.

Don't know if you've seen this, but maybe someone might find it interesting, even though it's sparse, and spotty. It's a timeline of Venezuelan events:

Your illustration is absolutely SUPERB. Couldn't be better.
