“They call it the 'American Dream' because you have to be asleep to believe it.” - George Carlin
And what best way to keep the people docile than to keep them in the dark. We are back to Plato’s cave.
Worst of it all, since Edward Bernays it has become an art to manipulate the will of the people. The obvious and tragic failure of the fourth estate has more to do with framing a narrative for our masters than with informing us or, as if that happened recently, telling the truth.

This is not an easy thing to do and all notions of how the ones involved, including the present executive branch, are merely incompetent nincompoops, is but a philosophical banana peel. It is an orchestrated and well planed operation to bypass the will of WE THE PEOPLE and turn us into WE THE SHEEPLE !
Great job Mindfuck Inc. our masters could not do what they want without your diligent daily work.
"A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself "- Joseph Pulitzer
Just a quick reminder of what THEY are fighting for…
The 5% richest among us owns 83% of Wall Street stocks. Even worst, 53% of these stock are in only 1% of these happy fews. Is this the technical definition of a plutocracy ?
The salary of the middle class americana has shrunk by 4% while the Bush/Cheney admin while the poorest has been slashed by 20%. (a fifth of the population). Meanwhile, Fortune 500 CEOs enjoyed a 51% increase.
In the 70’s the difference between a CEO and his employe’s paycheck was 60 to 1 , it is now 350 to 1 !
"This is an impressive crowd : the Haves and the Have-Mores" - Presidential candidate G.W. Bush / Waldorf Astoria, at a $800 / plate dinner in Octobre 2000
When Reagan took over in 1980, one percent of the population owned 33% of the wealth. In 2006 it was 50%. Now, a hundred fifthy million americans own less than 3%. The predotary mortgage bank industry made sure to make it even worst.
"Washington has become Versailles. We are ruled, entertained and informed by courtiers. The popular media are courtiers. The Democrats, like the Republicans, are courtiers. Our pundits and experts are courtiers. We are captivated by the hollow stagecraft of political theater as we are ruthlessly stripped of power. It is smoke and mirrors, tricks and con games. We are being had." - Chris Hedges
So there ya go, continue to absorb the journalistic pabulum to your own risk, but remember, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE INDEED !
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." – Plato
