Analysis of New Age of Manipulation [Noam Chomsky can start a new book]



Goodbye to the manufacturing of consent   
so it seems, cause in the media nowadays  
it’s apathy the powerful seek and amend  
among the masses that block their scheming ways.  
More information is spread due to the internet  
but news seems no longer used to guide and set  
the commoners minds in a particular direction;  
there’s only predictable waves of rejection  
of unfathomable ideas and plans that are tossed  
above the heads of those that will be bossed  
by indisputable structures that thrive at their cost.
