With minds sealed tightly shut. (Re: Gannon & the Christian right.)

"Schapp explained that a Harvard neurologist had helped him to understand the power of the neurological impact upon human cognizance, intellectual functioning, and reasoned decision making when the same story is told over and over again. That impact makes the story a kneejerk part of the people who are exposed to it. Even if they are convinced on one occasion by powerful evidence to the contrary, the next day will usually find them reverting to the long-held belief, which has become a part of themselves--often integral to their very identity. Nothing less than some sort of intense deprogramming experince with ongoing reinforcement is required ."

I added the part in brackets. This is from p. 136 of, "An Act of State," by William F. Pepper, the international human rights attorney who brought a civil action suit on behalf of the family of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which found, on the basis of unimpeachable evidence, that the plot to murder Dr. King was a conspiracy involving J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, Richard Helms and the CIA, the military, the local Memphis police, and organized crime figures from New Orleans and Memphis. Naturally no major media covered the story. Schapp testified as an expert on government use of the media for disinformation and propaganda purposes.

So the person on the religious right who is dismayed by the White House ties to a gay prostitute today, will revert tomorrow to believing that Bush is a moral Christian. And as long as prostitutes, and by prostitutes I do mean not just actual prostitutes like Gannon, but also all the other types of media whores, control the media, that's how things stay.

1. Is there an electronic link availlable?

3. I don't know of one, but there might be.

Try googling Schapp or Pepper. Better still, go to the library and get the book.

Did you know that the mysterious Raul who was connected to the King assassination, was a known associate of Jack Ruby? Pepper kept this stuff out of the trial, so as not to distract anyone, but he put it in the book because it is documented.

The bracket I inserted at the end of the quote disappeared, but I had added "to change their minds."

2. Buncha GOP tupperwearheads, if ya ask me!

I think that they only continue to believe the lies so long as the seal remain tight. It is our duty to insert the fingernail of lucidity beneath their tupperware lid, and pop the mutha off!

4. What really gets me is that Schapp

is "an expert on government use of the media for disinformation and propaganda purposes."

I mean, this has been going on for so long and with such frequency, that people have made a living devoting their careers to the topic.

5. The way to deprogram them is by CONSTANTLY hitting them with new

information. Any cult experts out there? What is the deprogramming procedure for cult abductee's?

Here's a link to a deprogramming story:

6. I don't think you

are looking at this properly.

So the person on the religious right who is dismayed by the White House ties to a gay prostitute today, will revert tomorrow to believing that Bush is a moral Christian.

I don't think they are dismayed by such ties. ONly if you catch * in bed with a boy himself will this catch on.
