As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “People Over Politics,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“My job is to keep you distracted while restricting the limits of public debate. I sensationalize talking points to keep you focused on the trivial while ignoring the important questions. I never contradict the status quo because what I really do is deliver state-sponsored propaganda. What I omit is often more significant than what I share.”

My Commentary: Unplug the Signal!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following captioned photo here, being shared by the page, “The Arcane Front,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Man Poses with Tens of Thousands of Bison Skulls: This photo from the 1870's shows a man proudly standing in front of a mountain of tens of thousands of bison skulls —an iconic American species that was systematically slaughtered by the millions as European Americans settled the west. The U.S. Army actively endorsed the wholesale slaughter of these animals for two main reasons: to remove any competition with cattle, and to starve Native American tribes who greatly depended on the bison for food. Without the bison, the resisting tribes of the Great Plains would either be forced to leave or die of starvation."

My Commentary: Destroy the food supply, destroy the people – historically, and presently!

“That face you make when someone says they are ‘anti-war’ but supports Obama”

My Commentary: Mine is more of a disgusted scowl than a smirking eye-roll.
