Right after the recent bombings in London, I was so impressed by the size of the web chorus immediately pointing out that the deed was a deception, and that four innocent Islamic chaps from Leeds had apparently been set up to take the fall as the culprits for this latest public atrocity from the power elite. These reports dutifully noted that all the suspicious characters, from Rudy Giuliani to Benjamin Netanyahu, were conveniently in place to spin the traditional public myth, just like after 9/11.
I thought, each time the The Big Lie becomes a little bit clearer, the human future gets a little bit brighter.
But the power of big media is monstrous, and just as with 9/11 and the Iraq war, what is on the lips of people in the street is far different from what is on the minds of intelligent commentators in cyberspace.
First it was my neighbor. “Those freaking ragheads. We oughtta just go over there and bomb them all to bits.” Taken aback, I retorted, “We’ve already been doing that for years.” But he would not be placated, or reasoned with. “Nuke ‘em. Nuke ‘em all,” he barked, and stormed off.
