Matheny on misleading: Why did Zack accept donations from the Carroll’s, the Realtors and Landlord PACs after the pre-election filing deadline?

"He says the council has been a poster child for transparency in government," Matheny said.

"I would say Danny is the poster child for misleading the citizens."

The beauty of the democratic systems of thought control,

as contrasted with their clumsy totalitarian counterparts,

is that they operate by subtly establishing on a voluntary basis ,

aided by the force of nationalism and media control by substantial interests,

presuppositions that set the limits of debate,

rather than by imposing beliefs with a bludgeon.

Then let the debate rage,

the more lively and vigorous it is,

the better the propaganda system is served…

Those who do not accept the fundamental principles of state propaganda,

are simply excluded from the debate.

(or if noticed, dismissed as "emotional," "irresponsible," etc…)
