Lorne Greene was the 'real' Adama from the Battlestar Galactica movie/TV series right?

That's the man. I've had "The Propaganda Game" for decades. That "more" link above will take you, or whomever, to the descriptive examples of each propaganda type. You might know that. I consider it a codex. [PT-F1] is the propaganda technique of "Diversion." Commit them to memory for superpowers! ;) Playing the game is a new [and now improved] universe.

Bellgab just took a hard right down up the path of clarity.

Fasten your seatbelt!

|||||||This post has propaganda in it, and ALL over it, tag it up, I DARE DOUBLE DARE YOU ! And for clarity "pate," the italics are just a joke. I am not actually inferring you know "little." And also I am not joking about your "nom de plume." So don't start with me, I know how you people are. ;)|||||||

   Perusing the Bellgab politics section, bearing in mind the above handy list of propaganda techniques, is amazingly entertaining to me.

Keep up the "good work."
Thanks,
