An Increasing Number of Media Are On to the Proposition 71 Con Job
This piece by opinion columnist Stuart Leavenworth appeared in the Sacramento Bee. (Registration may be required.) Increasingly, the media is beginning to report the truth about 71. It was a big con job that is going to cost the state billions of dollars. Once the Institute for Regenerative Medicine formally decides not to share royalties with the state, the jig will officially be up.
This does not necessarily mean that polls will show an immediate drop in support for 71, however. Unfortunately, with so much information vying for people's attention, it takes repetition-repetition-repetition, and television-television-television, to move public opinion. I remain unconvinced that the media, generally in the tank for Big Biotech, will provide the high profile coverage necessary to alert most people that they were had.

If this is the only way to move public opinion, then "public opinion" is nothing more than the result of pure propaganda. And the propaganda network is all-pervasive, indeed.
I am inclined to believe that this is true, though of course there are a few exceptions to this rule and method. However, it is clear that the majority of people, in western society and others, have lost the capability for thinking rationally and honestly for quite some time.
Thus, their allegiances are given to deceptive forces whose fuel and power are the rudiments of this world: deception and death.
But all of these things have been overcome, and will shortly be put down, by the One Who is True.
Thanks for your contribution. Part of the problem is the size of everything. And there are so many things vying for people's attention. Most folk just want to go to work, come home and be with their kids, enjoy a game, and live their lives. Getting people to focus in such a situation can be difficult.
