bristol3 discovered 8 weeks ago- In our modern world, it is not photographic bust-enhancement, body-replacement, tooth-whitening, darkening of skies, cloning of smoke clouds or the images of fake buildings that we must concern ourselves with, but rather the probability that the large majority of altered, doctored or entirely computer generated images are never exposed as forgeries, and succeed in the completion of their desired task of deception. Therefore in the pursuance of objective thinking, we must develop a critical eye, and a critical faculty of judgment. We must not rely solely on one source of information. We must network, to help each other with research, to look critically and examine the source. It is impossible for any one person to achieve an objective view of this reality on their own, and it is in succumbing to the influences of nefarious propaganda that we fall victim to mass hypnosis and may lose control, not only of our minds, but ultimately our lives. Visual manipulation in media is alive and very, very well.

- THE PICTURES WE SEE-DO YOU GET THE PICTURE? Thanks 'bristol3'. Let's try an experiment. Think of opinions you may have formed, beliefs that may have arisen due to one or a group of photographs that were distributed in the media. When you saw those images, did you feel anger, bitterness, or even hate? Were you elated, joyous, or perhaps confused? Were you compelled to somehow change the way you perceived the world based on the emotions that were triggered by an image?
