The Dangers of Propaganda

Mar 15, 2025 Government, Nations 0 comments

When it comes to lethal weapons there are two that head up my list. First and foremost is an ignorant citizenry. Secondly is propaganda. You see it’s an ignorant citizenry that allows events like the upcoming war that Europe’s pushing for. Ignorance is not an insulting word; its root stems from the word IGNORE! This makes the citizenry IGNOR-ANT of the available information that’s out there for the taking. They ignore hence they become ignorant. It really has nothing to do with the individual being dense, stupid, or any of the other descriptions used to mask the realities of being ignorant. Propaganda is a close-ranked second when considering the opponents’ weaponry. It’s propaganda that promotes the ignorant to make poor decisions, decisions that have an effect on us all. Propaganda promotes ignorance, and it’s the ignorant that will allow those buttons to be pushed, in the not-too-distant future if we’re not careful. If we’re not cautious, if we don’t take the time necessary to unfold truth from fiction those buttons are liable to be pushed a lot sooner than most of us think, but strangely it’s understandable. Reason being most of the citizenry chooses to remain IGNORANT of the current reality. Until next time, Barry in DR.

Universe doesn’t care about you!

The heading says it all! But, people still cling to their beliefs, because, to them science is the devil! It always amazes me how people can Be militated by religion, especially by politicians who use it to gain advantage! Best and most current example is Trump! This nut, is no more religious, then a man… Read more “Universe doesn’t care about you!”

Tim

We returned from our first DR Tour a few days ago. Even though it cut into our hoarded escape resources, it was the absolute best thing we did. The Tour is all, and so much more than, Barry describes. The North Coast people, land, and culture drew our tired, oppression-weary souls as nothing we could… Read more “Tim”

I visited the Dominican Republic for the 1st time with my boyfriend a few weeks ago. My only other time out of the US was vacationing in Mexico and the Bahamas.

Matt & Michelle

Before coming to see Barry in the DR, I remember introducing myself as a realist that was not swayed by the events reported on the evening news. I explained that we were not ‘doomsday preppers’ and that we were only looking for a nice location to consider for vacation/retirement property. Our goals were simple, 1)… Read more “Matt & Michelle”

Cole S., Alberta, Canada

My experience in Dominican Republic with the DRescapes crew was very eye opening and helpful. They showed me a life that I didn’t think was possible these days.
