Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a famous Soviet dissident, suggested a strategy for dealing with the constant stream of propaganda & indoctrination like America is now facing; he said, an honest man: • Will not write, sign, nor publish in any way, a single line distorting the truth; • Will not utter such a line in private or in public conversation, nor read it from a crib sheet, nor speak it in the role of educator, canvasser, teacher, actor; • Will not in painting, sculpture, photograph, technology, or music depict, support, or broadcast a single false thought, a single distortion of the truth; • Will not cite in writing or in speech a single “guiding” quote for gratification, insurance, or for his success at work; • Will not be forced to a demonstration or a rally if it runs counter to his desire and his will; • will not take up and raise a banner or slogan in which he does not fully believe; • Will not raise a hand in vote for a proposal which he does not sincerely support; • Will not vote openly or in secret ballot for a candidate whom he deems dubious or unworthy; • Will not be impelled to a meeting where a forced and distorted discussion is expected to take place; • Will at once walk out from a session, meeting, lecture, play, or film as soon as he hears the speaker utter a lie, ideological drivel, or shameless propaganda; • Will not subscribe to, nor buy in retail, a newspaper or journal that distorts or hides the underlying facts. Said simply: don’t propagate lies.
