Surely Congress didn't intend to cut propaganda to the poor in 1996, when they passed the analog to digital law. But, now, just when the pacification of the masses is particularly important, a glitch has occured.

::::::::

You just know they're sweating bullets now. In flusher times, Congress passed a bill to force all Americans to buy new TVs by Feb. 17, 2009, so that they could switch broadcasting to digital.

And now, although Congress backpedaled furiously and extended the deadline, some stations who already invested in the new technology switched over today, leaving mostly poor elderly and minorities without TV.

Whoops! The US depends on TV to keep the masses pacified and ignorant. Good looking vacuous talking heads confidently spout the daily talking points that are fed to them in order to inocculate Americans with the absurdities that make them support atrocities. (Thank you, Voltaire, for that soundbite).

What will they do? Think for themselves? Listen to hate radio? Talk to their neighbors?

This is like a hole in fence of a giant corral. Will the cattle notice and escape? Or will they just mill about as usual, never realizing that they have a choice?

Maybe we'll find out, maybe we won't. TV doesn't cover rebellions and insurrections.

My main interests are in promoting a better world. As they say, it is possible. If we can feed, clothe and house people with fiat currency, we can do it without it. I am appalled at the carnage done in my name, and I want to stop it.
