Jimmy Carter Presidency SCORCHED By Chomsky & Chris Hedges! - I lived through all of this, blissfully unaware of what my country was really doing. Of course I was getting my head filled with propaganda by mainstream media and believed that America was an ethical and moral country in those brainwashed days! That is exactly why mainstream media tries to keep us brainwashed. They know that if we aren't brainwashed that we will eventually figure out that what we allow them to do to people in other countries, they will do to us to keep themselves in power. That is why the brainwashed are so dangerous, because they will support them while they do it.
