Age of Sensational "Misinformation" by Chelle Stockman

 

For a long long time, I've been aware that what appears on news programs and radio talk shows in the most sensationalized way, is nothing more than a diversion to keep Americans pacified.  I imagine that real news goes on in the background while stories of a brain dead woman take the forefront.  This allows Americans to debate issues that are interesting while ratings for programs hit the roof thus satisfying their advertisers.  Meanwhile, the world is unraveling.

One such example is the issue of Cheney shooting one of his contributors to his campaign.   If you go back and look at every televised program for the first two days, they show a diagram of a body with buckshot over the left side of the upper torso, neck and face.   Then they announce the shooting victim has had a heart attack and that buckshot is lodged in his heart, which no one thinks much about because after all, according to the diagrams the media fed us, the buckshot was on his left side.  So to some extent, we buy into this.  Then lo and behold, the man emerges to address us.  He is 78-yrs-old and looks full of energy, not like a man who was listed in critical condition, housed in intensive care and suffered a mild heart attack.  But for those of you who actually paid attention, you would have seen that he was bruised on the right side of his neck with minor buckshot looking acne also on his right side.  In fact, nothing appeared near his heart at all.  The issue the media supplied us with was that Cheney was too secretive--end of story.

Let's go back a week to Coretta Scott King's funeral where people were upset that this memorial service was so political and that democrats stole the show.  Others were quite upset that the Bushs's  were there.   Memorials are to speak your last words to the one who passed away and to do so keeping in mind the role this person had in your life and the role you had in hers.  Not one overstepped their bounds in this regard, not even Past President Bush when he said "you people".  While Coretta might have said, "Well it is about time I got your attention,"  this wasn't the news we should have been hearing.

A week before C.S. King's memorial service, Greece refused to accept the EU deals regarding bioengineered seeds for crops.  They wanted to do a full study on environmental impact along with the long-term health risks for all who eat the product from the seeds.   England informed them they were in violation of the EU agreements.  Greece appealed to Germany and France who also agreed with Greece.  The United States and England informed them they would face the consequences for violating the agreements.  A week later, Germany, Greece, and France responded by pointing out to England (Tony Blair) that the United States had continuously been in violation of the agreements. 

Last week, Tony Blair announced to Bush and the rest of the world (during the Cheney incident) that these violations would be followed up with fines on all  U.S. exports going to every EU participating country.  I'm still waiting for someone to address this, including our president.  The President pretty much agreed to allow Dubai shipping to buy up several docks in response, a sort of pay off to make the problem go away.  My question is, will those fines Britain gets from us be the price our little Tea Party cost them plus the interest?

The result is that we have a security fiasco going on in regard to our docks and our president will intimidate us into buying into his solution to the EU Violation pay off in order to feed our troops and supply them.   If we keep up our dissent, he will blame the lack of supplies and food to our troops on us.  That is how he has always done everything, blaming everyone but himself because of his thirst for global control.

This problem will go on and on and on because we have a real estate situation that will soon bottom out, the price of gold is going to be devalued, and things are about to slide downhill.  We may as well tell all who have invested in us that we tricked them, that our IOU's are worthless.  We should hang a long term sign up saying, the U.S. has gone fishing so we can fix our internal problems.

But, you know, Bush and his pinch-hitting spokespeople will convince us that if we become "isolationists" the world will come after us because we will look like weenies to them, vulnerable.  Yet, this same President says to Iran, isolationism won't be tolerated by you because you will be more of a threat.  In fact, the week before Cheney went hunting, he went to Iran.  His message was that we won't allow Iran to be isolationist and that we will stop their nuclear facilities from going online unless they join the EU.  Cheney said he won't putup with a country whose weapons customers are questionable, that they could go on with their Nuke program if we can tell them who they can and cannot sell to.
