There very clearly is a new meme doing the rounds on conspiracy. This suggests to me a new drive on the propaganda front to reduce the impact of internet bloggers and others who hold unofficial views. The implication being that we, the people, will no longer be allowed to think for ourselves, but must adhere to a reality that is sanctioned.
It was only a few weeks ago that someone in the US raised the idea that Russia Today be closed in the west. Imagine the concern that Russia is getting it's point across on the internet and in US households to thew extent that someone seriously raised the idea of forcibly closing it.
For me this is a re-run of the McCarthy era in the US and the reason this political repression is being re-introduced now is the same as in 1950 ---- the so called "Russian menace" that the elite in the US and Europe wish to neuter, even if at a cost of war.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
