JIHAD TEXTS AND AMERICAN MEDIA

MSI,

I was watching the Ebert-Roeper TV movie reviews
tvplex.go.com

last week and was quite taken aback when Roger Ebert attacked the MPAA, the Motion Picture Association of America, for their unwillingness to rate "Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN". The movie is a huge hit in Mexico, and is getting rave critical reviews here in the U.S. It is a "growing up/road" movie.

Ebert's beef with the MPAA is that the censors haven't got the decency to rate a sensitive, non-violent look at kids growing up, while trashy movies that glorify violence have no trouble whatsoever getting approved for teenage audiences.

Along these same line, we might also wonder about the culture censors in our nation who allow incredibly violent videogames to proliferate, de-sensitizing an entire generation to violence.

In keeping with the information that U.S. based authorities are spreading jihad inducing propaganda on the other side of the culture divide, a sane observer might well conclude that there is indeed a conspiracy at the highest levels of our government and within our ruling elites to foment violent religious and cultural wars, and to propagandize the population in order to desensitize the citizenry to the horrors that the elites wish to perpetrate.

Ebert's comments were a telling moment about how cultural and social norms are manipulated, and not for the good of mankind.

Salaams, Ray
