As our nation is taken from us

“Recent studies by psychologists and social scientists in the US and UK suggest that contrary to mainstream media stereotypes, those labeled “conspiracy theorists” appear to be saner than those who accept the official versions of contested events.”

Ron Unz wrote another excellent article in the June 2013 issue of “The American Conservative” showing how our “reality detecting apparatus” needs remodeling regarding what the media tells us, or rather what it does not tell us.

Unz suggests that Boris Berezovsky, who looted billions from Russia before he went too far, had taken his clever political schemes from America. His plan was to transform Russia into a fake two-party system controlled behind the scenes by ruling elites. With citizens thus channeled into meaningless dead-ends, controlled largely by the media, Russia's rulers could maintain unlimited wealth and power for themselves with little threat to their reign.

I have little doubt that Unz has it right. So what can we do about it? Empower more men like Unz and the “paleoconservatism" he represents. Better to go down fighting than sitting around as dupes while our nation is taken from us. If nothing else future generations will be inspired.
