Finally, what a relief! I hope your thread takes off, mine didn't. I dont care anymore, i just hope the messages gets out. It's a crucial point in time.
The faster we realize that we are being used as pawns in a game, the more quickly we can remove power from those who are pulling the puppet strings.

What we have here is conservative opium.
Candy for neocons, Muslim haters and war lovers.
The movie was made for a purpose, political engineering
Neocon style!
Or is it possible that we can have a win win situation for all.

People need to wake up and realise that religion has kept them imprisoned. It is holding them back. It prevents people from thinking for themselves, it masquerades as spiritual, when it is anything but as it manipulates the animalistic. It feeds violent tendancies, it limits sexuality, and blinds spiritually. People are prevented from being true to themselves, and end up being puppets of very dangerous people.

It's a complex concept - one I cover in several of my authored threads. And the short answer is "Not entirely". We are raised to be proud - to attach labels to ourselves, ones that we cherish. Patriot, family man, hard worker, nice guy, whatever...
Once we begin to put stock in those labels, others are then empowered to trick us into things because they can use our own egos to manipulate us.

Well put, S&F.
It's amazing how something so little and unimportant can spark so much hatred between people. TPTB know exactly how to play us, the game is rigged and most are too caught up in the spectacle to realize it.

Want to start: "stopping" the embitterment?????
"neocon style": thought we established both parties are two sides of the same coin; funded by the big money with slightly different names????? Or should we say this arab spring uprising was given the official green light and encouragement and backed (Obama/Alinsky or ) "OWS style"!edit on 15-9-2012 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)edit on 15-9-2012 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)edit on 15-9-2012 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)

Suddenly a badly dubbed, laughable little movie comes along and sparks outrage in the Islamic community - a match to ignite untold eons of rhetoric and manipulation.
The West reacts with offense and indignation, and we find ourselves gleefully chanting for war.
