Another factor is the mass media, which spreads all cultural movements in all directions. The fact that this worldwide revolution has taken place indicates that the controllers have been forced to make concessions.<br /><br /><br />quite the opposite<br /><br />there's been absolutely no change in the makeup and tactics of the western elite over the past century<br /><br />we were sold a series of cultural revolutions based on false assumptions, when in fact these "progressive" events, carefully controlled, produced the desired regressive results (while convincing the people precisely otherwise)<br /><br />the perennial ruling powers of the west, and of this planet, have made no concessions whatsoever to their agendas -- indeed, our "revolutions" have furthered and institutionalized their agendas, and spread them throughout the planet<br /><br />sometimes knowingly, sometimes not, we did their evil for them, and built their gulag bar by bar<br /><br />cheerio, rayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
