A l'attention de M. Benoît Foulon
J'utilise l'orthographe "Harpeur" tout à fait sciemment parce qu'il utilise le bonhomme 7 heures du terrorisme pour justifier une panoplie de mesures qui ne passeraient pas sans cette épée de Damoclès qu'il brandit à qui mieux-mieux au-dessus de la tête du troupeau docile bien abreuvé à l'étable de Big Media, Big Oil et Big Bro ;)
L'entourloupette est vielle comme le monde et fonctionne encore à merveille pour les "analphabêtes" fonctionnels qui constituent désormais la majorité de nos concitoyens et qui ne demande pas mieux que de se faire dire quoi penser.

PREUVE DE CONCEPT (désolé, pas le temps de traduire)
"Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death." - Adolf Hitler
"Dictatorships start wars because they need external enemies to exert internal control over their own people." - Richard Perle
"As America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat." - Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Advisor to President Carter
"The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly...it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over." - Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister
ABOUTISSANT...
"If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves." - Howard Zinn, historian and author
"Only small secrets need to be protected. Big ones are kept by public incredubility" - Marshall McLuhan

"We are watching a poorly staged rendition of " Wag the Dog" , interpreted for the morbidly stupid and performed by the criminally insane." - Jules Carlysle
Parceque...
"Politics is the entertainment branch of industry. " - Frank Zappa
Terminons tout de même en français...

BONJOUR CHEZ VOUS ;)
PS
"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the Journalist is to destroy truth; To lie outright; To pervert; To vilify; To fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." - John Swinton, the former chief of staff of the New York Times, called by his peers, "The Dean of his profession," in a speech at the New York Press Club.
