"the number 24"

[Vatican Assassin]

If any of you have been watching the show "24", then you probably see that in this show "tough tactics" are being shown in a mini-series in order to desensitize Americans in the biggest issue that is coming to define our generation: the battle between liberty and security (whatever the hell those terms mean these days, I'm not sure). If you aren't American (lucky you) you may not know of the levels of propiganda that we have to go through over here. So here's a perfect chance to look through the eyes, erm, monitors, of the modern-day American!

Now, some of you will go, "pfft!", when you see the infowars.com link, so I guess I can't discuss this issue with you much, but if you go to this particular link and stay there, I promise it's just a set of 3 videos from youtube and you won't have to read much from Alex Jones. I don't feel like finding them on another link to make them more credible, it just seems silly to me. 2 video's are from "24"'s new episode, in which concentration camps are being justified, just as in past years other major issues like torture are shown here first, then in a year they hit the world and fox news, and by that time a lot of people are already ready to say its ok if it helps save lives or fight evil or some other abstraction that makes torturing people suddenly seem "American".

The 3rd video clip is a quick one from FOX news, and after you watch the first 2 from "24", you'll see how this kind of propiganda is linked to the media. If you already have dismissed alex jones and infowars and everything they will ever talk about as bs, then you won't know what I'm talking about and will have wasted your time reading this and don't really need to tell me about it.

Rockstars Games is also out to get us. Pretty soon we'll all be ok with drive-by shootings and public displays of hooker sex. It's all part of the master plan.

Hilarious, wooooo, I sure set myself up for that one. Wish I could make a single post about rich people trying to take power from the lower classes (ya it happens from time to time in history, I mean hello!) without someone coming back with some stupid joke. "I read this book called Blades of Grass and it has a page 9 and a page 11, 9+11, it must be a conspiracy!" "My dog is 9 years old, but has 11 pubes, omg master plan!" Redundant unoriginal CRAP I tells ya! Yes, believe it or not, propiganda exists and is not limited to news networks.

The only problem I could see coming from 24 is the assumption that all federal agents are as selfless, dedicated and sacrificing as Jack Bauer which is highly unlikely. I would trust Jack because I know his character and it sets me up with false expectations for how it is in reality.

Leaves of Grass, and you'll be sorry when we, the Enlightened, are proven right

because then we can say

"ah HAH! the World Trade Center's destruction WAS an act of Terrorism!"

which doesn't change anything pretty much

but whatev

I'm sorry did you just claim that you are enlightened?

I never took 24 seriously as a portrait of American society. I just viewed it in the same way the Brits would view James Bond. This "super agent" of pure fantasy. I do know the writers are trying to delve into problems in society and other issues that are prevalent here, but I take it all with a grain of salt.

And yes, I'm shitting my pants in excitement over the new season, can't wait $$

Yup. I am the Messiah.
