"Seven Deadly Spins"

Mickey Z's got it goin' on, as we say down here! His book, The Seven Deadly Spins, describes war propaganda as "...a cunning form of psychological oppression used domestically to obscure more overt oppression elsewhere."

That pretty much says it. Written to help people "shrug off propaganda," the book shows that war propaganda is not something the neo-cons at American Century invented, but has been part of our history all along. Which is what makes it so hard to combat in the minds of our fellow country-men. This is an entertaining little book with an impact like a hammer, and a great tool for those of us dedicated to creating a vision of a truly democratic, progressive US that will be a good world citizen.
