Entry: Down the Memory Hole Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/down_the_memory_hole#29804 Post contents: San Fernando Curt wrote, 'The American Imperium is their baby - and if they’re wrong about that, what else are they wrong about?' You nailed it. You see, if all these fools did not constantly do homage before god Demos, goddess Marianne (Lady Liberty), and the the demigods of the American founding; if they forgot the indisputable nobility of their cause and the indisputable pure evil of all who diverge from it; if they were to forego further cognitive dissonance in the face of logic, evidence, and the lessons of experience and history -- why, I do not believe they could sleep at night. They have been sucked in by the propaganda, they secretly enjoyed its benefits, dismissed their consciences, and cannot turn back for fear of what it could mean. They MUST perpetuate this dystopia. If they do not, all the myths by which they lull themselves into the delusion of happiness and virtue would be disproven. And then what ? Therefore, I think it apropos to recall the maxim "Pride goeth before the fall." It could, as a lens for certain situations, reveal much about the nature of contemporary régimes. Sent at: 2008 12 02
