    The United States of America’s Doll House: 
      A Vast Tapestry of Lies and Illusions

    “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, 
    when his salary depends on not understanding it.”
    
    "Fifty years ago, the CIA coined the term “conspiracy theory” as a
    weapon to be used to dismiss the truths expressed by critics of its
    murder of President Kennedy, and those of Malcom X, MLK, and RFK. 
    All the media echoed the CIA line.  While they still use the term to
    dismiss and denounce, their control of the mainstream media is so
    complete today that every evil government action is immediately
    seconded, whether it be the lies about the attacks of September 11,
    2001, the wars against Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iran,
    etc., the coups disguised as color revolutions in Ukraine,
    Venezuela, Bolivia, Hong Kong, the downing of the Malaysian jetliner
    there, drone murders, the Iranian “threat,” the looting of the
    American people by the elites, alleged sarin gas attacks in Syria,
    the anti-Russia bashing and the Russia-gate farce, the “criminals”
    Assange, Manning, Snowden – everything.  The New York Times, Wall
    Street Journal, The Guardian, Fox News, the Washington Post, CNN,
    NPR, etc. – all are stenographers for the deep state." 
    
    "Those of us who write about the U.S. led demented wars and
    provocations around the world and the complementary death of
    democracy at home are constantly flabbergasted and discouraged by
    the willed ignorance of so many Americans.  For while the mainstream
    media does the bidding of the power elite, there is ample
    alternative news and analyses available on the internet from fine
    journalists and writers committed to truth, not propaganda. There is
    actually far too much truth available, which poses another problem.
    But it doesn’t take a genius to learn how to research important
    issues and to learn how to distinguish between bogus and genuine
    information.  It takes a bit of effort, and, more importantly, the
    desire to compare multiple, opposing viewpoints and untangle the
    webs the Web weaves.  We are awash in information (and
    disinformation) and both good and bad reporting, but it is still
    available to the caring inquirer.
    
    The problem is the will to know.  But why?  Why the refusal to
    investigate and question; why the indifference?  Stupidity?  Okay,
    there is that.  Ignorance?  That too.  Willful ignorance, ditto. 
    Laziness, indeed. Careerism and ideology?  For certain.  Upton
    Sinclair put it mildly when he said, “It is difficult to get a man
    to understand something, when his salary depends on not
    understanding it.”  Difficult?  No, it’s almost impossible.
    
    But then there are many very intelligent people who have nothing to
    lose and yet adamantly refuse to entertain alternative possibilities
    to the reigning orthodoxies that have them in their grip.  As do
    many others, I know many such people who will yes me to death and
    then never fully research issues.  They will remain in limbo or else
    wink to themselves that what may be true couldn’t be true.  They
    close down.  This is a great dilemma and frustration faced by those
    who seek to convince people to take an active part in understanding
    what is really going on in the world today, especially as the United
    States wages war across the globe, threatens Russia, China, and
    Iran, among many others, and expands and modernizes its nuclear
    weapons capabilities.
    
    As for Assange, Manning, and Snowden, their plight matters not a
    whit.  In fact, they have been rendered invisible inside the doll’s
    house, except as the murals on the windows flash back their images
    as threats to the occupants, Russian monsters out to eat them up. 
    As the great poet Constantine Cavafy wrote long ago in his poem
    “Waiting for the Barbarians” and they never come: “Now what’s going
    to happen to us without barbarians?  Those people were a kind of
    solution.”  Then again, for people like U.S. Representative Adam
    Schiff, who knows the Russian barbarians have and will come again,
    life must be terrifying as he tries so manfully to bar the gates. 
    The Russians have been the American solution in this fairy tale for
    so long that it’s hard for many Americans to believe another story.
    
    On the one hand, there is the massive propaganda apparatus operated
    by American intelligence agencies in conjunction with their media
    partners.
    
    On the other, there is the human predilection for untruth and
    illusions, the sad need to be comforted and to submit to greater
    “authority,” gratefully to accept the myths proffered by one’s
    masters.  This tendency applies not just to the common people, but
    even more so to the intellectual classes, who act as though they are
    immune.  Erich Fromm, writing about Germans and Hitler, but by
    extension people everywhere, termed this the need to “escape from
    freedom,” since freedom conjures up fears of vertiginous aloneness
    and the need to decide, which in turn evokes the fear of death.
    There are also many kinds of little deaths that precede the final
    one: social, career, money, familiar, etc., that are used to keep
    people in the doll’s house."
