Hoax
Hoax: Why Americans Are Suckered by White House Lies, by Nicholas Von Hoffman, TPB from Thunder's Mouth Press, ISBN 156025582X. How is it that the rest of the world saw Iraq for the toothless military has-been it was, while Americans looked at the half-starved, bombed-out, dilapidated country and saw a juggernaut? After perfecting the domed stadium, Americans have seemingly erected a continent-wide dome of unreality under which they shop in malls, live in gated communities, and believe whatever they are told on TV. Von Hoffman describes how the Americans lost their pioneer independence to live in a bubble of imperial ignorance.
