Those individuals that control the perceptions are the ones that control virtually everything. Most modern conflicts are based on misaligned perceptions, ideologies, opinions about religion, etc. If a government does not have the tools to manage the perceptions which effect security, defence, finance, tourism, health and foreign relations, then it may well find itself at the mercy of those that do.

Let's also remember, it's not propaganda anymore, it's propagenda. 'Propagenda is not so much the control of what we think, as the control of what we think about.' Think about that for a minute.

Neuroganda anyone?

In the late 70's my then girlfriend worked for noted psychologist/researcher Charles E. Osgood at the Univ of Illinois. It was a running joke for years that Osgood was subject to paranoid delusions (of grandeur), in that he always claimed, without any tangible evidence that the C.I.A. was shadowing all of his research. But as it turned out he had the last laugh, because after his death in 91, it was discovered that indeed much of his research was not only followed closely by the C.I.A. but was actually funded by their front organizations and foundations.

At about the same time a philosophy student friend showed me a phone book sized document of all linguistics/philosophy of language research grants for that particular year. It was just stuffed full of defense dept. defense industry and other military related grants. I remember being floored that so much of what I thought to be esoteric or neutral philosophic muse-ings would be under the spell of the military/industrial complex.

Dear Supporters,
Each day I remind as many people as I can to help spread the truth about 9/11. I ask that they join us to make a greater impact in the historic effort to seek a truly independent investigation.

Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth would not exist without dedicated volunteers and generous donors who support our many efforts. These projects and speaking tours are carefully planned and executed to make the biggest bang for the buck. You must understand now that we will be able to be much more effective in 2010 with a simple doubling of your financial support, or a first-time donation. Help provide this organization with the funding that is appropriate for the vast importance of our cause – and with a recognition of what we are up against.
The perpetrators and maintainers of 9/11 are relentless and will not be taking a holiday.

This season, we ask you to increase your dedication to AE911Truth and make your charitable gift now, and to remember to support us throughout this next critical year of 9/11 Truth. Help us save our country, our way of life, and our very liberty.

With gratitude and warm wishes for you in this New Year,

Richard Gage, AIA

Founder & President, AE911Truth

In England and many other countries, the festival was widely associated with the eating of rich foods made with eggs, sugar and butter, such as pancakes. It was often known simply as Pancake Day, originally because making such foods used up ingredients such as fat and eggs, whose consumption was traditionally restricted during fasting associated with Lent.
.....
Another holiday associated with pancakes (or in this case crêpes) is a French and Belgian festival called Chandeleur. Held on February 2 each year, this holiday is associated with the presentation of Jesus Christ in the temple. The name is derived from the word chandelle or candle, as candles are lit for this holiday. The French may also eat crêpes for mi-Careme and Mardi Gras. Similar to Chandeleur is Candlemas, which is celebrated by Anglican communities.

Shrove Tuesday was once known as a 'half-holiday' in England. It started at 11:00 a.m. with the signalling of a church bell.[9] On Pancake Day, pancake races are held in villages and towns across the United Kingdom. The tradition is said to have originated when a housewife from Olney was so busy making pancakes that she forgot the time until she heard the church bells ringing for the service. She raced out of the house to church while still carrying her frying pan and pancake.
In 1634 William Fennor wrote in his Palinodia:
"And tosse their Pancakes up for feare they burne."
But the tradition of pancake racing had started long before that. The most famous pancake race [10], at Olney in Buckinghamshire, has been held since 1445. The contestants, traditionally women, carry a frying pan and race to the finishing line tossing the pancakes as they go. As the pancakes are thin, skill is required to toss them successfully while running. The winner is the first to cross the line having tossed the pancake a certain number of times.
Since 1950 the people of Liberal, Kansas, and Olney have held the "International Pancake Day" race between the two towns. The two towns' competitors race along an agreed-upon course, and the times of all of the two towns' competitors are compared, to determine a winner. After the 2000 race, Liberal was leading with 26 wins to Olney's 24.[11]. A similar race is held in North Somercotes of Lincolnshire in eastern England.
Also, in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, the foreshore road (beach) is closed off, schools close early and all residents are invited to skip in the road.

Pancake Day

In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Shrove Tuesday is often known colloquially as Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday. The traditional pancake is slightly thicker than a French crêpe.
