Patriot mythology occurs when an assumption or rumor is publicized, and people accept it as truth without fact checking, because it fits in with their prejudices and pre-conceived notions.
Case in point — the notion that George Soros has bought up munitions companies. This was reported a couple of years ago in a net publication called The International Forecaster, published by Bob Chapman, who died this year. It was reported specifically as a rumor, that Soros had bought Remington and other companies through a holding company.
A few minutes spent looking up the company, “The Freedom Group”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cerberus Capital Management, at www.sec.gov would disabuse anyone of this notion. But instead a legion of cut-and-pasters passed along the rumor to their email lists, and soon “everyone knew” that Soros was responsible.
The real danger of patriot mythology is that it blinds us to the truth. The truth in this case is far worse than this silly Soros rumor. Cerberus is run by hard-core Zionists who got their money from Bernie Madoff (NASDAQ fraud) and from shell corporations funded from Liechtenstein. Israel’s largest commercial bank was involved.
Associates of this group took down General Motors by buying 51% of the share of GMAC–the company that provides loans for car buyers—and raising the credit requirements so no one could afford a GM car. Then they used GMAC to loan Silverstein the money to buy the World Trade Towers.
See what I mean? You can find the details below.
I have to admit, I fell for the rumor as well. It was easy to do when you concider Soros and his commie traitor ways. You can bet the ass hole has cornered the hemp market though. Three guesses why.. he he…patriot humor…
As much as I used to read Chapman it turns out he was no more aware of the truth than the vast majority of bloggers and those supposedly in the know due to connections (in fact sometimes I think folks make up stuff, such as Ben Fulford and Christopher Story, both of whom supposedly were “insiders”.)
Unfrickin believable. Grrr.
