Do you deny the possibility that similar operations are going on right now? Go ahead and disagree, that's great. But just how do you propose we get the word out about left-gatekeeping. IMO it is strategy #1 in preventing potential majorities from recognizing their own strength. Knowledge of the historical fact of Encounter is sorely lacking in the wide CIA enclave known as the United States.
Nat, Paul, I do believe there are 'left-gatekeepers', however, I often disagree with who is branded with that label and who is not. Some are only progressives or semi-progressives who haven't (for a variety of reasons, misinformation, prejudice, or psychological mechanisms) not fully seen the light......
