The "Media": America's Achilles' Heel
The "Media": America's Achilles’ Heel



**********************************************************************

A toilet paper company that put Bill O'Reily's face on every square of its product would make millions.



Remember "journalists"? They were our unofficial fourth branch of government and in a country as monster-sized as ours, we NEEDED that policing of government. Journalists more or less said it like it is and more or less kept us in touch with reality. And let's not patronize the "more or less". Hey, if you compare those news professionals to the fascist babblers on Fox Snooze (etc., etc., etc.) they look like veritable knights from Camelot.



How did this happen? How did we lose our, this-is-what's-really-happening-in-America, people? Yes, we have a few heroes out there, and Godspeed to them, but they are so pitifully OUTNUMBERED. Basically, it's from God's mouth (Bush) to 95% of the American media.



Alas, another variable in this are the people who watch this Nazi like propaganda with glazed eyes. Lets' face it, propaganda works best on dingbats and as our formerly literate country slides deeper and deeper in Duhville, we keep acquiring an ever widening gut of raw stupidity. This is not happening in any other advanced technological country. The statistics make this clear.



Just as we are becoming fat physically, we are becoming fat intellectually and culturally. Most young people think that being able to look up information on the internet is the same thing as being educated. Dear God, being educated is NOT HAVING TO look information up on the internet. So this electronic generation of teens is just more intellectual fat.



Thus, the dialogue between the fascist media and the fat heads profoundly cripples our Constitutional Government, which necessitated literal, rational, and factual communication.



This is what our wise forbears did not anticipate. They did not anticipate that American would become so "dependent" on the media. And they didn't anticipate this avalanche of intellectual sloth that has taken over so much of our country.



This is all so tangled and complicated. It has to do with our insidious dependence on electronics. It has to do with the sad realization that no one sells his or her soul so cheaply as news people. Give 'em a few bucks and they'll lick the feet of nearest Republican. And it has to do with becoming a megaopololis beyond the wildest dreams of our founding fathers. In those days, communication was easy. Now it's a nearly infinitely complicated matrix of several different forms of media (nearly all now owned and controlled by totalitarian fascists). And it has to do with the millions of vacuum headed, monkey see, monkey do Americans.



So, what to do, what to do? The only thing we can do. Those of us who aren't monkey brained have to somehow initiate enough political muscle and insight to counter and go beyond this fascist/fathead symbiosis. It's 100% up to ethical, literate, rational, patriotic Americans to take our country back IN SPITE OF THE MEDIA.



Lastly, let's never, never forget how 95% of the American media tried to turn the American Dream into a new 3rd Reich. These people are the "collaborators", and just as the mid 20th century collaborators tried to give Europe to the Nazis, so are the Fox Snooze collaborators (and thousands of like minded traitors) trying to give our Constitutional Government to the Republican neo Nazis.



ps: The collaborators shouldn't forget how the French treated their collaborators after WW2.
