“Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.” Abraham Lincoln

Snip....The demand and retrieval of accurate information, what a concept! It is not however an easy task, as any research analyst will tell you. In this age of information overload one must wade through streams of data to find the elusive “accurate information” stamp. I personally use the “who said what, why and where” method in determining accuracy. If the “who” is known as credible then the “what” can be claimed accurate and in many cases that’s all the criteria used by many media. However, I find this only works if the “who” is independent - not part of an entity, and is prepared to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but. Otherwise the “why” relates to the credibility of he associated source entity/s, and then the “where” needs to be determined. By following the information back to the final source you will be amazed at what you can find. The first telltale sign of propaganda is the inaccurate interpretation of scientific statements. No references are generally made to any credible independent studies. The focus usually consists of scare tactics, like pictures of holey brains, threats of incarceration or organized crime invasions. If you want to check it out, start with the prohibition propaganda pamphlet; “Marijuana - What’s the Big Deal” passed directly to students (and CH) by a DAREBC/ DAS program officer at the Community Symposium on Drugs and Related Youth Issues, held recently in Castlegar, BC. (Watch for coverage of this excellent two day discussion forum in a future issue of CH). The pamphlet contains gross untruths about the properties of marijuana, including a photo, depicting a “Marijuana affected Brain” which appears to be riddled with corrosion and holes.
