Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The town of Amidon, ND has a fake police car (updated a couple of times in the past 40 years) in the middle of town, in a 25 MPH zone on US 85. No matter how many times you see it, you still slow down...which is what they wanted in the first place. :shrug:

The various town police departments on L.I. do that as well, including on the LIE.

There are only so many key combinations out there. It's rare, but every now and then, someone gets into a car, same make, model, and year as theirs, and the key works.

If they are seriously preoccupied, it might take a few seconds/minutes to notice it isn't their car.

Obviously a result of TBIs from all that bombing...

Or...

Quote
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

(From THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963)
Something every American who remembers the last 60 years or more should review.

A severely injured woman was found with her legs tied with rope on a D.C. sidewalk below a broken 9th floor window-frame.

They said that "She fell".    :2popcorn:

Funny how that works. I wonder who she knows that might have a reason for helping her do that.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
