Yes, I know it's Cracked. (But everything I know, I learned from Cracked.com. They're not that bad, really!)

Billed as a libertarian-style group supporting the free choice of consumers, The Center for Consumer Freedom runs websites and ad campaigns opposing food-related attacks on our liberty. So for instance, when other groups concerned about childhood obesity push to ban toys from Happy Meals or ask the Girl Scouts to sell healthier snacks, The Center for Consumer Freedom is the one who jumps in and says people should be able to eat what they want, dammit. So it comes off as kind of a group of regular dudes restoring some common sense to a politically correct world. Seems pretty reasonable....

...The Center for Consumer Freedom receives most of its funding from the restaurant, food and gaming industry, including Coca-Cola, Wendy's and Outback Steakhouse. And also Monsanto, which might have something to do with why it thinks that groups against genetic engineering are "anti-choice nannies."



The list is very eye-opening actually. I knew some of it, but others were a surprise.

Ayep, follow the money, always - cause that is the path to truth.

Still, these groups *can* be occasionally useful, even if their intended purposes was nefarious, using them against say... do gooders who wanna outlaw your cheeseburger, or school shrinks who think saying "no" means you have ADD/ODD is always an interesting experience....

Hell, I have lots of fun provoking endless warface between CFCF/FORCES and PCRM just to watch them claw at each other instead of shoving their agenda at us.

But mostly, sometimes rooking these goons into serving a better purpose is damn useful, you know ?

And some of them are bunk, or just misguided. It's funny how the only people interested in writing on the topic are running their own conspiracy.

I also noticed that they went with "ones that failed" or "ones they thought or assumed had failed."

Their data on MKULTRA was pretty poor. They failed to mention the direct effects of operatives and their launching of black market drugs, the disaster that was Timothy Leary, and Nazi connection. It was not of course "a response to communism" but a program that we had inherited from Germany after the war. Also, they took the modern definition of "Mind Control" to mean something along the lines of the Manchurian Candidate, which was actually not what was meant at all. The CIA sought to find ways to "control the state of mind" which is what mind control meant. Sure, one of the states they wanted was the "tell all" state, which they thought they had successfully reached with sodium pentathol. They also thought "Obey all orders" was a state that a soldier could reach. But they seemed more interested in "superspy" and "supersoldier" as states of mind. This was really more leftover superman stuff.

If the plot to assassinate Hitler was a failure, how'd the man get a bullet in the brain? Oh, and don't tell me it was "assisted suicide" yea, the guy was assassinated. It's just that the *first* plot, that being Rommel's, was unsuccessful. It was Goering who actually took the man down.

Some of them were interesting though.


The site seems to hate Scientology a lot. I wonder what's behind that. Are they secretly a front for BIG PHARM?!?!!?!?
