    There is ignorance in every nation. Period. I know for a fact there is plenty of that in this country.

    It is the king pin reason TPTB have managed to to what they have done.

    From my POV ignorance is a much bigger enemy than TPTB.

    While there is truth in your words ... when the PTB control the "truth" and societal programming -- how do you not be ignorant to certain degrees even with the best of intentions? Tolerance is the key. ;-) my 2 cents.
    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.

    I think its twisting a truth. In the past, Americans had a reputation of being a bit gullible...or trusting. Robert Bly the American poet said that the Americans had given their "spy consciousness" to the Russians in much the same way that men sometimes let their wives do all the cooking and women let their husbands fix the car. That is what the Americans were known for. The kind of "stupidity" in this video is common all over the world. I don't pronounce or spell Ahmedinijad very well. I think what is more concerning is what the man said in the video.. ie. that they don't care they don't know and don't take an interest.

    That is why the American's could be intimidated by the idea of being called a "conspiracy theorist" (so could Canadians). Much of what the so called "conspiracy theorists" say are just accepted facts or at least acceptable theories in other countries and people would never be criticized for thinking that way.

    That is why the Americans could look with their own eyes at a controlled demolition and be afraid to say it was a controlled demolition.

    "What is Al-Qaeda?"
    "Al-Qaeda is a wing of the Masonic Order"

    For all we know, that dude had it spot on
