A FREE PRESS?

"DEMOCRACY IS THE ART OF RUNNING THE CIRCUS FROM THE MONKEY CAGE." H.L.Mencken

aloha2u today,

NEWS OF THE WORLD (sic)
you may have missed this but Rupert Murdoch's  tabloid "News of the World"
(UK est 1843) shuts down this Sunday.
why?
apparently it has been caught is what has deemed a common tabloid policy (?)
of hacking so called "smart phones".      think about that a second...
first it was celebrities,then politicians then the phone of a kidnapped
and murdered young girl and then the families of the infamous 7-7 London bombings.
WTF?
its defense was basically "well,everyone else does it so we HAD to..."
really?  to his credit Keith O. was all over this before CNN
finally stumbled across it this morning...

Keith O. was asked of Murdoch's biographer whether
this same kind of crime could be happening stateside,
OMFG...only time will tell.

a weekend host on CNN has been dubbed "Plutocracy's Poodle"
the same could be said of CNN and other MSM sewage outlets.
Freedom of the Press(sic) is mentioned in the US Constitution
as a counterbalance to fedgov,
sorta like the scales balance held by Lady Justice
(who wears a blindfold, it that supposed to be reassuring????).
where and when did we go so soooo wrong?
i sift thru literally hours of useless bilge each week to find something
i have gleaned to be The Truth,as CNN
babbles on and on
about Casey Anthony and nothing that Democracy Now
mentioned this ayem, i resist the urge to puke
up my breakfast.  we are ill served by our MSM,
even PBS betrays an unintentional (?) bias.

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM -BY JINGO

every time i hear it bleated that we are
"The Greatest County in the World...."
i reach for my barf bag.
every time i hear some naive innocent
has died in a foreign land
"protecting our freedom"
while the Bush-Cheney Crime Family and
now O BOMBER has ass fuckt our civil rights
sideways and without remorse,barf bag.

every time i hear Corporate Spin regurgitated as "news"
barf bag,think Fukushima and will we EVER know
The Truth about it, as nuke industry 'experts' and insiders
spin a web of deceit to obscure and not reveal what really happened.

in the UK,Ireland esp, the cops are known as
THE FILTH
as good a name as any for what Sarah Failin (upward$)
calls our "Lame Stream Media...".
if you know the MSM from the bowels outwards.
(Soul Mate is an alumni)
they will confress that they are in the Biz of
"selling eyeballs to advertisers"
whereas Congress is in the Biz
of selling its souls
to advertisers/lobbyists/Big Biz./WallStreet/
hedge fund managers et al.
we are Products,we are dupes for snake oil salesmen,
we are Consumers NOT Citizens,
we are sheeple to be sheared until too old then slaughtered
(MediCare and MedicAid are now ON THE TABLE
states O BOMBER,using the Austerity Argument
stripped naked so expertly  in
NAOIMI KLEIN'S THE SHOCK DOCTRINE).
long weary pissed off sigh...

BTW O BOMBER has grudgingly agreed to write
letters of condolence to the families of our Permanent War Miltary
ONLY if they commit suicide IN a War Zone but NOT afterwards....sigh.
BFD....like they wouldn't have killed themselves if it wasn't for WAR?????

where was i? 
MSM THE FILTH
i do not have an answer for this one,except maybe more bloggers
who embrace The Truth when not reciting personal ailments,
nudity,pubic hair and wearing kilts.
i am NOT a role model,am i?
you all know the answer to that.
we live in a wrold where Privacy as a concept is
an all too distant memory
and where we stand naked in a freezing hail storm of scrutiny
by fedgov,staatgov,THE FILTH MSM and any other
mercenaries with the money and right equipement
to invade our lives.
(see Tom Cruse in MINORITY REPORT
for a dyspeptic dystopian preview or
Gene Hackman in the classic THE CONVERSATION).

we are all Guilty of THOUGHT CRIMES
in someone's jurisdiction and/or worldview.
Guilty until proven.....Innocent or merely Human?
i only wish i could report better "news"...sigh.

Peace Now please?
namaste
mega

BTW did you know that US Senators were APPOINTED until about 1900
as a barrier between the "rabble" in the House of Reps  (reptiles?)
and the Plutocrats who truly govern the Untied Snakes of Amnesia...
check it out.
the joke is DEMOCRACY IN THE USA
the punchline is.....all around us.
