Read and Weep, Fellow Americans

What do the National Geographic, NYTimes and Indy Media.org have in common?

The Matrix of Ignorance is the best description I've yet encountered in the bizarre and scarey world we've devolved from the days of 9/11.

Look to this article in IndyMedia by Gary Leupp to see:

"National Geographic reports that 85% of young Americans (18-24) cannot identify Iraq, Afghanistan or Israel on an unmarked map. 56% cannot find the Indian subcontinent, dangling there so conspicuously into none other than the Indian Ocean. Only 19% can name four countries that acknowledge having nuclear weapons. Fortunately, a whopping 70% can identify the Pacific Ocean, but that's probably just because it's the biggest thing on the planet. These numbers are not just embarrassing but dangerous, because in such a sea of ignorance swim Bush's neocons, buoyed by it, empowered by it to send U.S. troops to their deaths in a war to conquer and occupy a nation that had nothing to do with 9-11. Repeat: nothing to do with 9-11. Repeat: nothing to do with 9-11. Repeat: nothing to do with 9-11. Repeat: nothing to do with 9-11."
So, in a story today, Sunday September 14, 2003, I read this top story in one respected news source, and then this one in the NYTimes by Eric Lichblau

One article is entitled:
"Bush Seeks to Expand Access to Private Data" and the other is:
"America Needs Indymedia because of "The Matrix of Ignorance"

Can there be more urgent signals to all good citizens of the USA that WE are in mortal danger of losing our very integrity, our souls and our freedoms just to ignorance and apathy? What does it take to wake people up from living in Neoconland? I urge you to read these articles today, lest they suddenly and unexplicably disappear as so many warnings have disappeared from our American media resources. Lost, forgotten? I think not. Doomed? Maybe. But some of us will go down with the sinking ship of state all the while declaring the wrongs!
