Piggy-backing off another thread, I'd definitely put Aaron McGruder in the Bill Hicks category, not the Colbert category.

In fact, during a keynote address at the July 12-14, 2002 H2K2 conference, McGruder came right out and said this:

“And, you know, and then the Bush administration gave the Taliban 43 million dollars in May of 2001. There's all this stuff. And, you know, outside of the world of whackos and conspiracy theorists and all of that, very few people in the mainstream have been willing to say what I'm about to say, which is, I really and truthfully believe that George W. Bush is somehow involved, either directly or indirectly, in the attacks on New York City on September 11."

No kkkidding.

Why do you think that CIA-Hollywood put out a movie called
'The Boondock Saints' about white Boston Southies?

That's called:
> keyword hijacking
> meme-reversal
...which are the two key components of military counterpropagnda meant to exploit
INTERFERENCE THEORY cognitive science mnemonics.

eh.... maaaaaaybe.

Boondock Saints came out in 1999. The Boondocks was only a comic strip at that point. The TV series didn't come out until 2005. The comic strip did have some radical socialist, positive race-conscious content, but... methinks you're stretching it.

Ya think?

Hugh, this is exactly the kind of thing that gets you in trouble at this site.

HUGH THAT MOVIE CAME BEFORE THE....oh man, it just makes my fucking head hurt when you casually assert shit like this without even doing google.com type research first. You know so much less than you think you do. Thank you for being a cautionary tale for my own hungry brain and internets ego, I appreciate the warning sign out here in the wilderness.

Yeah, that Meme management works like a charm; and here we are, talking useless shit while neglecting what we want or should or could be addressing.

Aaron did a really great job with this last season of Boondocks. I'm not even a fan of the show but he's been consistently raising the bar on the density of ideas...not to mention "number of lines crossed per episode." As a final sendoff, this is fucking awesome. It would have been especially great to hear the conversations that Comedy Central management had about a number of these episodes, not just the False Flag Finale.

I would be very interested to see how 9-11 Truth is skewing racially these days. I think that crackers have always been the minority in that movement, probably without ever realizing it.

In my own experience, the demographics have changed noticeably. I live in the Bay Area, which is one of the most racially diverse and integrated areas in the entire world, but 9/11 activists were mostly white five years ago. Today the group I roll with is much more reflective of the greater area I live in, white, black, red, brown, yellow... we probably even have a few disguised grays

Those are probably the COINTELPRO agents who seem like the friendliest guys in the group.

Yeah, that too. We've had a few pathetically obvious provocateurs that we've chased out. Could certainly be cover for the more subtle ones. It does make me feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing that someone cares about us that much. I'm not paranoid about spooks anymore though. I know that they know that I know, etc. I just wish they'd send a few of the hot female ones to try and seduce me. But maybe that's just because in the movies, whenever the bad guy sends his sexy female assistant to seduce the hero, the assistant eventually sides with the hero after falling for his rugged good looks.

Maybe?

Stretching it?

Why do them hijackers want us to forget the great Billy Joe Royal and his rockin' message of 1965?

Sorry, back on topic.

Brave move... I look forward to seeing the finale!

I first heard of the book Behold a Pale Horse from the Boondocks. I think Huey had it on a list of favorites... Does that mean the show is pro- or anti- CIA?

May be just what Assange was thinking.

Sorry. Looks like It's Goin' Down is no longer available.

Oh well.
