Bill is back




Walter Lippmann defined a "Spectator Democracy" in 1932 where the Public is a herd that must be steered by the elites. Now days they are simply diverted, using entertainment to drug everyone into a sleep like state, just like Huxley's Brave New World. First in tragedy then in farce, the trope or meme becomes the confidence game. Look up "What Orwell Didn't Know", and understand that we start in ignorance, then by use of the network effect we are exposed to toxic media that poisons our brains. Politifact and FactCheck.org can not keep up.
