Massive Protests and Boos become Cheers-During Bush's inaugural parade, people were booing and holding signs all along the route, voicing their disgust at the stolen 2000 election (since that time, our government has imposed, entirely un-constitutional, free speech zones to insulate the President). In the run up to the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq, there were massive protests in cities all over the US. There have been 2 World Can't Wait, organized protests of citizens in cities throughout the country. The mainstream media completely censored this outcry. When George H.W. Bush threw out the first pitch to start the baseball season, there was loud booing in the stadium and the broadcasters covered it up. Once again, in New Orleans, as the Saints made their triumphant return to the Superdome, loud booing accompanied George H.W. Bush as he made the coin flip and ESPN clicked onto audio of cheers for the TV audience. This is called programming.

Abramoff and Enron-The K Street, pay to play institutionalized corruption and the Enron collapse are two of the biggest scandals that our capitalist, democratic Republic has ever faced. Both involve the Bush administration directly, as well as the entire political machine. Both involve some of the most powerful corporations and citizens of this country. And yet, it would seem that the mainstream press is content that Abramoff and Ley perpetrated these crimes and therefore, we the people, don't really need to hear anymore about it.

Bilderberg-The most obscenely powerful and wealthy citizens in the world get together and decide how best to manage the governments and the economies of the western world. For years, nobody really knew or paid attention, but now people are starting to take notice. After all, why are there no notes taken at these meetings and why do armies protect these 'gatherings' if they are merely meeting for tea? Alex Jones, documentary filmmaker, was detained at the Canadian border for 20 hours as he attempted to cover the latest Bilderberg Conference. He was isolated, yelled at and interrogated by Nazi-esque Canadian agents, before finally being released to enter Canada.

CIA/Media Cooperation-Both the civilian and military intelligence agencies are completely entrenched in our media and now, on line. It is no secret that CIA employees and paid shills, infest our media and edit, dilute, obscure and propagandize the real truth at every level. Once again, I understand why I'm not hearing about this from ABC News or the New York Times.

WTO Protests-All around the world, whenever the World Trade Organization meets, there are huge protests. Free trade benefits big corporations and powerful countries. Professional multi-millionaire liars like Tom Friedman endlessly espouse the 'virtue' of free trade, however, there is nothing free about it. It is a ploy to enable corporations to exploit with impunity the low wage slaves and lax environmental laws of third world countries, while at the same time, devastating their local businesses and farmers and systematically ruining the manufacturing capacities of countries such as the US. 70% of our manufacturing capacity has now disappeared into 'developing' nations. If we started today, it would take us - of a century to rebuild what we have lost. In Seattle, police and military infiltrated the peaceful protesters and started scuffles in order to allow militarized police to violently repress our fellow citizens exercising their free speech rights. Where was the crackerjack journalist?

The System of Terror and The Power of Nightmares-It is now widely known that the Bush administration used the color-coded 'alert' system whenever it needed support because of lagging poll numbers. There is No war on terror. You cannot fight a war on an ideology. Al Qaeda is not a worldwide terrorist organization. This is a lie. Whenever a government official or journalist references Al Qaeda or the war on terror, whether out of ignorance or collusion, they are lying. I highly recommend the BBC documentary, The Power of Nightmares. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/video1037.htm If you want to stare at the immediate future of our democracies, due to this war OF terror against us, watch the very entertaining British film, V for Vendetta or the American film, A Scanner Darkly.

Needless to say, I could go on and on laying out the case against the 4th estate of journalism. It is fair to say that I disagree with my good friend, who claims that if there is a story, a crackerjack journalist will tell us about it. We are 53rd in the world in press freedom and falling and the government is targeting journalists and passing laws that countermand the Bill of Rights as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The press barely notices. How do I know about all of these things? Because, my fellow citizens, it is all available for discovery and verification on line. I will not wait and I would suggest that the world can't wait for the Washington Post or The Nation to tell us the real truth about anything. If a blogger tells you something about the poison fluoride in our water supply, I say google fluoride and see if what he/she is telling you has any merit. If you are waiting for a journalist to tell you what is real and what is not real, this blogger will tell you, the details of the critical events shaping our destinies are being systematically edited and the good people of this country are being blatantly lied to and deceitfully programmed.
