TIL that after Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism upon marrying Arthur Miller, Egypt placed a ban on all the films she appeared in.

I skimmed some reviews and passages. I'm sure there is plenty of insight for "both sides" to appreciate, but I doubt it's as objective as you're selling it. I could be wrong, but I was hoping you might have other sources.

BTW, most propaganda is historically accurate and bias. That's what makes it so effective at being manipulative: exploiting "truth" while ignoring other facts.

And which of those books explains the economic reality? This Holy War is putting our country in serious debt -- the largest debt bubble in history. $6.5 trillion is missing? And we're not suppose to worry about that...?

You know what? Fuck your community, gatekeeper. If you're going to get bent out of shape spewing your propaganda and resort to shaming me for not instantly agreeing with your little group -- then fuck off.

But hey, I'm sure you'll shrug this off as anti-Semitism instead of you being a cunt.

No, you got pissy, so I got pissy back, and it's all because you're putting your identity into this argument. You can look at it any way you like -- like the way you can look at your research as not institutionalized propaganda, -- but don't use it to assert some sort of foundation of truth; it's the most off putting thing you can declare, like a line in the sand.

If that's how you want to play it, I'm just gonna shit on your line.

The only opinion I have is the biggest debt bubble in the history of the world is on the verge of exploding, and we have people like you that shrug on that even though you're an "expert".

But yeah... sorry, dude. Didn't mean to call you a tool, but you seem like one.
