X:; (OT ) Putting together the sound bites the News Media puts out has led me to regard them as having values lower than a common pimp. They are trained to produce an emotional reaction in the viewers, and they get awards for starting wars. The TV faction is the sickest bunch of all. It use to be the big news papers but they have been outdone by the quick fix the TV can give. It can take years for the truth to surface and by then most of the victims of their former demagoguery are gone and the new victims are being enthralled in the so called "up to the minute" scoopofshit. -------------------- The gullibility of the average American watching our propaganda machine always has amazed me, and it's not funny either. Hitler pulled a mass hypnotic trace on millions of people and the Pulitzer price winners took points from him so now we have CNN and most majors fighting for control of the American mind using some of the same tricks. They don't have time for getting to the heart of what's going on, and wouldn't even if they did. When I find commentaries and editorials on the Front Page or the so called News release is spiked with such Tabloid type trash I tend not to believe very much of any thing they say. I did look good at the Refugee situation, enough to see how most of the sob stories were rehearsed , I saw all the "Brand NEW Busses" herding these poor souls around, and how the cameras tried to avoid showing the well dressed ones. The slip up as a relief worker was giving out loaves of bread to supposed starving people and they didn't catch on.. There were no takers , he had to just about beg one of them to accept the bread for the benefit of the camera.. Now we find the refugees are outraged and about to revolt as they are not getting all the deals and tickets they were promised for leaving their homes. 90% of them thought they would be coming to the US if they would parade down to the Border and wait on busses. KLA, CIA..are secrete sweethearts.. Every Country in Europe has always wanted to run Yugoslavia by some from of hegemonical system what better way than to bust em up and split the spoils. The demagogues have played the ethic card to the hilt, and most people have fell for it head over heals. Well I worked with Yogoslaians on a ship and even back in 93 they were having a hard time understanding what all the discord was about. Little did they know their lives and futures were being arranged by power brokers and that in back rooms Yugoslavia was on the menu and slated to be eaten alive. Jim PS when I do watch the news I look for things that don't match the story, ( the background ) and what the camera often don't focus on, I also read lips..and know taht Regan not only thought Nixon was a S.O.B, I saw him call him just that, and then five minutes latter kiss him. Kliton has a lot of nerve talking about someone who can't be trusted. If there was any justice in this world taht wasn't for sale to the highest bidder he would have his tongue pull out by the roots. In fact we would have for the most part a tongueless Congress also most Lawyers would have to use to sign language ( which a lot of them do anyway within their inner loops ) ------------------- Jim |
