why, yesssss... yess, it izzz



Propaganda that is made inside a group is known as horizontal propaganda. Dialectics are created by 'intellectual believers'. These are people who are conscious of their role in the process and possibly have a profitable stake in the outcome. Individuals within a group help each other to understand the policies presented. Everyone is made to feel equal and all are encourage to have their say. The effects is to produce a 'voluntary' adherence to the party line. It also simulates creating a solution to a problem that is not imposed from an above authority. Thereby, giving the people in the group a sense of belonging. This is known as the 'rinse and repeat' mechanical manipulation method. All in the group are already primed with the correct politics of an issue. Anything said by the individual within the group is only a reinforcement of the party line. Any who don't conform are ridiculed or socially punished in subtle ways. Each must be a propagandist for all concerned.

To achieve homogeny, horizontal propaganda requires little contact between groups. Members of different groups are not encouraged to mingle with other groups. Only in like minded situations. The basic Family Group is a great obstacle to such propaganda and must be broken in any sense necessary to achieve the ends of the propaganda being broadcast. It disdains independent thinking at every level.

The greatest place to insert horizontal propaganda is in the classroom. It's through the education system that morals, information, documentation, and catechization get inserted into the group mind using 'civic education'. Each group is composed of people who are alike in their principals and they basically use the same form of policies and procedures to justify their jobs.

Re: Who is Him who is the soul of America
Because political problems are difficult and often confusing, and their significance and their import not obvious, the propagandist can easily present them in MORAL language. And here we leave the realm of fact, to enter into that of passion. Facts, then, come to be discussed in the language of INDIGNATION, a tone which is almost always the mark of propaganda.

Re: Who is Him who is the soul of America
Baudrillard predicated good faith on simulacra--categorically bad faith. Even value is based on"the sorcery of the social relation," ie leveraging power over someone to make them believe in you. Bad faith, like bad coin, drove out the good. There's nothing left to say, and no trust to receive it with.

Vegan Diet Impacts California Prison

San Bernardino County, CA — In the late 90’s, amid rising crime rates and finite lockup space, the private prison industry was looking like a pretty lucrative business opportunity for anyone who could take advantage. Having received a dire report from Georgia-based prison design firm Rosser International Inc., San Bernardino County was expecting a shortfall in inmate beds and a doubling of their inmate population by the year 2020. Against this background, the County began accepting bids for a 500-inmate private prison. Terry Mooreland, CEO of Maranatha Private Corrections LLC was among the individuals who bid on the project. There was only one catch. Mooreland’s bid included a stipulation that if he was awarded the bid, inmates serving sentences at his facility would be offered a vegan diet. As fate would have it, Mooreland won the bid and in 1997 began to build what became the Victor Valley Medium Community Correctional Facility in Adelanto, California; which is about 120 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Once operational, this facility saw remarkable results for seven years, before a dispute over inmate phone revenue led the State of California to cancel their contract with Mooreland. It is unbelievable that something as silly as phone revenue could cause a State to end one of the most remarkable prison success programs in the country, where inmates

got out and stayed out. At the time, the State of California had a recidivism rate of 95%. This is the percentage of former prisoners who are rearrested. The Victor Valley facility enjoyed a recidivism rate of less than 2%. So, what was the key factor behind this success? A vegan diet. Upon arrival, new inmates attended an orientation where they received two clear choices. They could live on one side of the prison which operated using the standard California Department of Corrections (CDC) guidelines and food menus; or, they could live on the side of the prison operated under the “NEWSTART” program which included a vegan diet, bible studies, job training and anger management. In a video-taped interview obtained by Vegetarian Spotlight, Victor Valley nutrition services coordinator Julianne Aranda explains that “what we eat not only affects us physically, but it affects our mental attitude, our aggressiveness and our ability to make good decisions”. In interview after interview it was clear that the NEWSTART program staff was in agreement that the mind and body must be cleaned up in order for the inmates to achieve positive behavioral changes. Initially, although the State of California was very supportive of the NEWSTART concept, they told Moorland they didn’t believe that even five inmates (of the 500) would accept that kind of a diet. In fact, they told Moorland that inmates would probably “burn the place down before they became vegetarians”. However, once the program was in progress, the opposite became true. On average, 85% of the inmates chose the NEWSTART side while only 15% chose the CDC program. The remarkable behavioral changes could even be seen outside in the prison yard where according to prison officials, nobody “owned” or controlled the yard. Typical lines drawn between blacks, whites, hispanics, gang members and other groups were non existent. On the NEWSTART side, everyone played basketball together and had great fellowship. The CDC side of the house had the same racial divisions experienced at any other prison. In testimonials, inmates assert that the surprisingly good-tasting food led them to feel better, have greater energy, increased stamina and reduced problems with acne. Indeed the effectiveness of a vegan vegetarian diet in rehabilitation has been scientifically validated. Although the State of California apparently preferred to pursue phone revenue over rehabilitated inmates, the success of the Victor Valley facility gives us something to think about. Could this kind of a diet help us in raising our children?

got out and stayed out. At the time, the State of California had a recidivism rate of 95%. This is the percentage of former prisoners who are rearrested. The Victor Valley facility enjoyed a recidivism rate of less than 2%. So, what was the key factor behind this success? A vegan diet. Upon arrival, new inmates attended an orientation where they received two clear choices. They could live on one side of the prison which operated using the standard California Department of Corrections (CDC) guidelines and food menus; or, they could live on the side of the prison operated under the “NEWSTART” program which included a vegan diet, bible studies, job training and anger management. In a video-taped interview obtained by Vegetarian Spotlight, Victor Valley nutrition services coordinator Julianne Aranda explains that “what we eat not only affects us physically, but it affects our mental attitude, our aggressiveness and our ability to make good decisions”. In interview after interview it was clear that the NEWSTART program staff was in agreement that the mind and body must be cleaned up in order for the inmates to achieve positive behavioral changes. Initially, although the State of California was very supportive of the NEWSTART concept, they told Moorland they didn’t believe that even five inmates (of the 500) would accept that kind of a diet. In fact, they told Moorland that inmates would probably “burn the place down before they became vegetarians”. However, once the program was in progress, the opposite became true. On average, 85% of the inmates chose the NEWSTART side while only 15% chose the CDC program. The remarkable behavioral changes could even be seen outside in the prison yard where according to prison officials, nobody “owned” or controlled the yard. Typical lines drawn between blacks, whites, hispanics, gang members and other groups were non existent. On the NEWSTART side, everyone played basketball together and had great fellowship. The CDC side of the house had the same racial divisions experienced at any other prison. In testimonials, inmates assert that the surprisingly good-tasting food led them to feel better, have greater energy, increased stamina and reduced problems with acne. Indeed the effectiveness of a vegan vegetarian diet in rehabilitation has been scientifically validated. Although the State of California apparently preferred to pursue phone revenue over rehabilitated inmates, the success of the Victor Valley facility gives us something to think about. Could this kind of a diet help us in raising our children?

Always been a good typist, 130+ wpm, 98-99% accuracy. Did plenty data mining jobs too where the first couple weeks I was already better than employees who had been there years and I was stoned everyday. Ran into the boss at a party once and smoked weed with him even though he had never smoked before and told him about how i was high at work everyday and he was like "Really? Everyone should get high then."

What does Nietzsche have to say about vegetarianism? Keep trying to hold on to the single plank of the "tripod of servitude." If it's more important than study and you provide appreciation for neither, it's best to quit all.

Umm what does a healthy diet have to do with studying?
