What if  all  that separates us is  knowledge ? Would an appreciation of each others position close the gap? Fox News Banter vs McMurtry Value Sets and Pauwels History [1]? The soundbite-strawman vs critical pedagogy! But how when the righties mind is closed to long form analysis? So certain of the Fox’s righteousness, why look beyond? Too busy getting ahead, or surviving When time for critical thought? Immigration topical but what deeper issue is left out? Did the Fox create the mess in the first place?[2] Are the Fox’s ‘shows’ an honest account? Is he clever enough to create a straw-man diversion? What crucial facts does he conveniently leave out? As to the left-right divide, will a belief in ghosts bridge us?[3] As you believe the Fox, I took a peer ...

Living in an age of Reverse Projection

What 'technique' might fool millions? Would 'reverse projection' do it? Thank God somebody saw it: [xviii]  I define  reverse projection  as  attributing to others what you are doing yourself as the reason for attacking them .  U.S. foreign policy is defined by this generic reversal operation.  The reversals have five standard operations: i.claiming humanitarian assistance to victims of a regime when in fact bombing or attacking them; ii. standing up to terrorism when by far the greater terrorism is perpetrated by doing so; iii. covertly supporting the very terrorist organisations as a justification for these dominant terrorist activities; iv. imposing the extremest form of terror, torture, to “stop the terrorists”; v. planning, organising and waging the supreme crime of humanity, a war of aggression, to compel the other society to “comply with the laws and norms  of the community of nations”. If only so many of us hadn't...

Who? Reader of books, Australian citizen. Catholic schooling. Atheist. Where? Australia, 'claimed' as "Queens"-land but morally and traditionally "Aboriginal" native land, eastern hemisphere. Why? Why not! All my mates have gone full rightwing! Its' concerning! Very concerning! One should never go full rightwing! Towards a brighter way. What? Knowledge. It's not 'left' vs 'right'. It's "moral' vs "immoral'. Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton So join me for the 'ride'! Best, Vasaire :-)
