March 2002, US government create the "Office of Strategic Influence " with the help of the Rendon group .

nice. post that where people can see it. excellent work.

Great link, thanks, very enlightening... I hope some other people look at the information and especially at the essays that the information has been drawn from. It put things into a new perspective for me. Its just such a shame that those people that really need to read it wont read it.

The only thing I can think of adding is a quote from Albert Einstein:
"He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice."

Don't do what everybody else does simply because they are doing it. Take the time to find out if you truly believe in it before you embrace it as your opinion.
