Today, I was reminded of a story a friend told me several years ago. My friend had just started working as a recruiter for the Air Force, and while going through training, his supervisor talked fondly about the good old days after 9/11.

Catching up on some of these cartoons. It's creepy as hell how the media & propaganda machine is repeating the same thing now with the Israel-Palestine conflict that they did in the years after 9/11 when they were trying to turn public sentiment in favor of going to war with Iraq. It feels like the bombardment of propaganda has increased 100 fold now with Twitter and social media, and it's even harder to decipher the truth about anything. When I was coming of age with the internet and the beginning of the information age back in the 90s, I was thrilled and anxious to see the amount of available information and its accessibility exploding. Of course I was naive at that age, but I never dreamt our biggest problem would be too much information and the inability to filter out the good and the bad, or even recognize it.
