I agree since most people are followers and only are worried about their backyard.
The powers that be can label the special interest groups as wackos and most people will believe. The media in the US and many major world NEWS is controlled by a very few.
We are spoon fed NEWS but now the Internet might save us.
Watch the BBC NEWS, then US NEWS, CNN and hopefully another country and you will see there is not much difference. The same few control US money, the World Bank etc. They want a one world order.
I think we are doomed to repeat history over and over.
I till think we have time in the US to take back our goverment and our lost rights, VOTE! Have polititions sign legally binding documents on issues such as dismantling the Federal Reserve System (a private Vermont corporation, never been audited since 1913, that the US pays interest to for printing US money!!).

Depends on what your Truth is, don't ya think.
To keep it simple, for instance...Easter, there is a lot of promotion for the Easter Bunny and the Chocolate Egg...what does that have to do with The Resurrection.
Christmas is the same, I really like Santa Claus, and I understand the Symbolism there, but December had nothing to do with the Birth of Christ, nor does the sale at Macy's.
Free Enterprise Baby.....But we will warp the Truth to have Financial Gain.

It only stands in the way of truth if you're not searching hard enough for it. If you're incapable of taking things for what they're worth and can't see behind agendas, be they hidden or blatant, then you're the one standing in the way of truth. I can't stand it when people complain about television for this very reason. It's brainwashing, blah, blah, blah. Music isn't? Everyone has an agenda, and everyone has the right to represent that agenda. If your agenda is to sell Pepsi, that doesn't mean I have to buy it.

Disagree. Too many special interest groups out there; they make it impossible to hide the truth.
