First Word War. Palestine Think Tank and Tlaxcala today launch our most recent editorial initiative. Our contributors, affiliates, associates, friends and readers are invited to participate with their own efforts to deconstruct the hasbara and Normative Western Dominant narrative, to reclaim the meaning of words from the masters of disinformation, stripping off the propagandistic baggage attached to them, and to more effectively read and interpret the media we are subject to and involved in. We need to move from being "passive" subjects and consumers of information/propaganda and assume a more "active" role. All of this starts by declaring our liberation from control and resisting the indoctrination, and with this goal, our members are committed to creating new instruments of analysis and a new lexicon of freedom. Palestine Think Tank and Tlaxcala will publish in groups of essays, a series of interventions in an international initiative that is like nothing that has come before it. Our essays come to us in various languages and from many places around the globe (Tlaxcala itself has several dozen languages it works with) and will be translated and disseminated on a global basis through Palestine Think Tank, Tlaxcala and many other sources. We encourage you to read our first series and to participate ACTIVELY, as a foot soldier in the First Word War. Today on www.palestinethinktank.com and www.tlaxcala.es you can find the first group in English, Spanish and French. A brief excerpt follows below. We encourage you to contribute, repost, link, send to your list serves. http://palestinethinktank.com/2009/10/02/the-first-word-war-palestine-think-tank-and-tlaxcala-declare-war-against-disinformation/ TOP
