Symptoms

                                                               SYMPTOMS

   Like Typhoid Mary, percolators don't suffer the same devastating health effects of the disease with which they infect others. Unlike their victims, percolators don't shed a single drop of blood. They don't exhibit even mild bruising, though the contagion they spread often kills and maims hundreds of thousands. Percolators do however exhibit their own peculiar set of symptoms. Researchers have identified the early warning signs that indicate a percolator has become dangerously contagious and is beginning to infect others. Awareness of these early warning signs can prevent a full-blown outbreak from occurring. It's hoped that everyone reading this health warning will acquaint themselves with these early warning signs in order to help prevent the next MAWS outbreak from taking place.

  -  Pandering

    Pandering is necessary in any kind of ‘hard sell’ situation. Examples of pandering include sleaze-head lawyers who pander to jury member’s emotions in order to win acquittals for their murderer/clients. Slick admen usually pander to a perceived need in their target market for status, sex appeal or popularity; in order to promote consumer buying of wasteful, unnecessary and environmentally harmful products. MAWS percolators must use pandering in their spread of this disease because no sane person would ever willingly hand over their children’s lives, squander their national wealth, and terrorize, kill or otherwise shatter the lives of thousands of other people they have never met – and have nothing personal against - without

it.

  - Uncontrollable Use of Jingoisms

    Rational arguments and even complex sentences are increasingly replaced in the percolator's speech with the use of jingoisms. These compulsive verbalizations are used to legitimize attacking whoever the hell we choose to. Repeated over and over again, such jingoisms have a soporific effect that blunts critical thinking. “We have to fight them over there, or we'll fight them over here” is a recent jingoism. It's said to justify the current Iraq War even though the insurgents/resistance fighters we're fighting are mostly street militias composed of unemployed Iraqi men who will never in their lifetime get a visa, let alone have the airfare to come to the U.S. A famous jingoism of a long ago MAWS outbreak was “Remember the Maine!”...  Today's MAWS carriers often compulsively spout a similar sounding jingoism “Remember 9/11!” to justify just about anything they want to do.

   -  Shameless Exploitation of Attack Victims – Real or Bogus

     Within hours of the 9/11 attacks, Washington percolators were formulating a plan to somehow link the attacks to Saddam Hussein to justify a war already on their planning boards as a result of their ‘World as Giant Chessboard’ cognitive impairment. In spite of the fact that most of the hijackers were Saudis, and members of the Saudi royal family were known to have given millions of dollars to terrorist front groups, no mention was made of the more obvious Saudi connection to the 9/11 attacks.

     During the MAWS outbreak in Vietnam, a hallucinated North Vietnamese attack on U.S. warships in the Gulf of Tonkin led to Congress scrambling to hurriedly pass the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which greatly expanded and intensified that MAWS outbreak. Only later did it finally come out that this ‘attack’ was either a group hallucination - or a bald-faced lie.

    In the first Gulf War, imaginary dead babies thrown from imaginary incubators in Kuwaiti hospitals by Iraqi soldiers incited horror and rage in the American people, and was used as rationale for the first Persian Gulf MAWS outbreak. Only later was it revealed that the Dead Baby Story was another hallucination (or bald-faced lie). The young Kuwaiti girl ‘eyewitness’ who tearfully related the myth of the dead babies before a Congressional Committee was in actuality the 15-year-old daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador.

  - The Big Lie

   Adolph Hitler named this MAWS spreading technique ‘The Big Lie’ and wrote about its effectiveness in his book Mein Kompf. As Hitler explained it, if a lie is told often enough, no matter how outrageous it might be, people will come to believe that it must be true at least to some extent; even if it's a total fabrication. In the Iraq MAWS outbreak this symptom was seen in the corporate mass media’s constant repetition of the Saddam Hussein=WMD, WMD=Saddam Hussein, Big Lie. This deliberate framing of the matter totally peripheralized  any mention of the real motives behind this MAWS outbreak which were oil... a neo-con inspired lunatic aspiration to dominate the area ... and oil.
