Ignorance in the Information Age

Our Lack of Outrage

Posted on May 19, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out the US, or any other government, is placing subliminal messages to conform and obey in the media. I am not saying they are, or that … Continue reading →
