I wonder...

how many other places are left in the dark about major world events due to oppression and deprivation.

Study: Few Afghans know of 9/11, reason for war - World news - South and Central Asia - Afghanistan - msnbc.com

The US is one

But smart individuals have other neutral sources they can find on the internet.

The problem with reports on all of this is the media. In the UK a lot of our broadcasting is owned by NewsCorp... Which is owned by the Murdoch family. Which is a long conspiracy story of corruption and power..... It all relates to Zionists and illuminati etc.


Either way... I believe they are corrupted. And I find most tabloids have an agenda. I therefore don't read the papers for anything more than sport. I don't watch Fox news or Sky News ( I do watch the Sport channels they have though). I tend mostly to use the BBC website for news. And watch the BBC news channel. But if a story is about the war in Iraq, I tend to believe most news sources have an agenda.



Politics.... The more you learn about it, the less you know.

I know of 9/11, obviously. But I definitely don't know our reason for being in this war. Not surprised at all that the majority of people in Afghanistan don't.

Pittsey brings up a good point sort of. It's like...how can these people know what's going on when they have no major media to spread the propaganda

We may not live in a place where we're kept in the dark about major events, but we do live in a place of widespread disinformation.

I take my earlier comment back, this guy seems pretty well informed.
