Wikileaks and the Mighty Wurlitzer

by Zahir Ebrahim from The Public Record. Excellent analysis of the Empire's propaganda machine.
...I use the term ‘Mighty Wurlitzer’ as a metaphor to pluralistically refer to the same message-machine, i.e., the intelligence apparatus for manufacturing consent and controlling dissent, and its concomitant conscious manipulation of peoples’ thoughts, feelings, actions and in-actions, in order to serve the primacy interests of the ruling-elite.
