It Takes a Comic Book

The U.N. has been trying to build a positive image for itself for as long as it's been in existence. It has failed greatly; mainly because the U.N. is a failed institution. Now, in a desperate attempt to shape its image in a positive way, the bureaucrats intend to propagandize the world's naive and under-educated youth by collaborating with comic book superheroes:

“In a move reminiscent of story lines developed during the World War II, the U.N. is joining forces with Marvel Comics, creators of Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk, to create a comic book showing the international body working with superheroes to solve bloody conflicts and rid the world of disease … The comic, initially to be distributed free to 1 million U.S. schoolchildren, will be set in a war-torn fictional country and feature superheroes such as Spider-Man working with U.N. agencies such as UNICEF and the ‘blue hats,’ the U.N. peacekeepers.”

This is typically what tyrants do when their message isn't working on adults...indoctrinate the kids! Maybe the U.N. has seen how well this technique has worked for the radical environmentalists over the years; remember Captain Planet?

Government Indoctrination Centers (aka public schools) will be entirely receptive to this new educational tool, much as they are to Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth which has been foisted upon school kids with never a mention of opposing scientific data.

Two quotes by Adolf Hitler come to mind:

He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.

and

How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think.
