I told myself that I wasn’t going to listen to these “think tanks” for a while. I guess I wasn’t ready, as the following angered me. This is just normal thinking inside “The Blob,” though.
Demonizing the enemy, demonization of the enemy or dehumanization of the enemy is a propaganda technique which promotes an idea about the enemy being a threatening, evil aggressor with only destructive objectives.
I’m reminded of the movie, Full Metal Jacket and countless other war movies that I watched growing up. I don’t watch many movies anymore, especially after learning about government interference in Hollywood. Behind Enemy Lines is still in my YouTube playlist unwatched, even though it was recommended (not for its accurate portrayal of events) to me months ago. In fact, it was influenced by the Pentagon. On a side note, thank goodness I brushed off the Army recruiter in high school. Every time that he visited, the guidance counselor would try to drag me in to his office to meet with him (I got a high score on the ASVAB). I wouldn’t have lasted a day in the military, though.
I remember tying yellow ribbons around the trees in front of our house during the Gulf War (I don’t remember the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia). I recall where I was when 9/11 happened, though (I was in bed sleeping). In fact, I remember going to get something for lunch, and I locked my keys in my running car while checking my mailbox at the front of the trailer park that I had lived in. Once I got home, my eyes were glued to the television, watching the coverage on CNN. My dad and I would watch Geraldo during the war in Afghanistan. He died of a heart attack seven months after the U.S. invasion of Iraq (I often wondered if watching all of that television coverage triggered his PTSD).
I knew nothing of Donbass or Palestine until after I started this blog. In fact, I was hesitant to blog about Palestine at first. It wasn’t until after I learned more about Islam that I started looking at the Middle East. Before that, I was into Christopher Hitchens and followed Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller. Charlie Kirk, from TP USA, and Michelle Malkin even followed me on Twitter. Now, I don’t care for any of them.
There’s no moral to my story. I can understand people falling for the war propaganda, though. It’s just frustrating, sometimes.
The Story Behind “Symphony of Destruction” by Megadeth:
He also added that the song is about the masses being led to their extinction by a leader who’s a puppet of a phantom government [think military-industrial complex]. Dave stated that just about every leader we’ve had that hasn’t ended up with a bullet in his head is a political puppet.
