The Lilliputians Are No Longer Tiny People
'And yet, the U.S. has already lost the battle. So far, U.S. power could count on its total control of public consciousness in large parts of the world. In its past wars, the millions of Lilliputians sat glued to their TV sets and watched the propaganda broadcasts, identical on all channels. They watched and believed that the war is for sublime values of peace and justice. Now as well, obedient spokesmen explain that Saddam is Hitler and the Iraqi children must be saved from him. But who is listening?

'Now the truth is exposed - the U.S. is perceived as a gangster that does whatever he feels like. In the past, the U.S. committed its crimes to the sounds of cheers of the majority of the Western society. It has lost this majority. The change that has occurred in the world can no longer be reversed.'

What Tanya Reinhardt says here is very likely true, and I dont think media outlets, governments and corporations have yet come to terms with this new and revolutionary reality.
