    "Pre-emptive Projection"

    Very nicely put, Bullsmith. We are now at the point where we see clearly how they have approached and implemented this strategy, what exactly they are hoping to accomplish with this projection, and how it has (unfortunately) succeeded in bamboozling a compliant press, and by extension much of the population. We can identify and decry it. But what I am still grappling with is The Next Step. Namely, how to fight back and turn the tables so that when the other side engages in this behavior, we can flip it back on them and send them scurrying. And conversely, how do we pro-actively change the atmosphere so such behavior is dismissed and ridiculed outright by the media and population when attempted. Any solution I may think of involves rational explanation or logic – two things that’ll get you ignored and drowned out real fast. So I am curious to any thoughts out there on what we can do.

    Clownsense – I can use one of your blueberry cocktails…
