- Something odd happened to me this morning. Okay, most
of the time I seem to be some kind of attractor for the unusual - but this
still had one foot in the mainstream. I was having coffee in a shop and
scanning the debris of the morning Chronicle when I noticed a tiny item
on page A8 entitled: "2 teens killed as sinkhole opens in city"
from Associated Press
- It reads:
-
- "GUATAMALA CITY -- A 330-foot deep sink-hole killed
two teen-age siblings when it swallowed about a dozen homes early Friday
and forced the evacuation of nearly 1,000 people in a crowded Guatemala
City neighborhood. Officials blamed the sinkhole on recent rains and an
underground sewage flow from a ruptured main. The two bodies were found
near the enormous fissure, floating in a river of sewage. the father of
the two teens was still missing, a disaster official said."
-
-
- It was the picture that got my attention - because I'd
been wondering aloud, to the owner of the place about the likelihood of
being able to sue the networks for false advertising - when they call what
they produce - "THE NEWS"!
-
- When I saw this picture I immediately thought that this
is exactly what will happen to all these disinformation networks when all
hell breaks loose in the middle east - and when ordinary people begin to
realize that they were NOT warned about what is about to happen in Iran
and the USA: especially once this becomes clear that this stuff was
all over the web - but nowhere to be found on American network media.
-
- This Sinkhole is how 'the amerikan media" should
end, in a pool of raw sewage with its anchor-personnel dead and floating
in the debris, like the driftwood that they were in life.
- The disconnect between what is called "news"
and what is broadcast, is so great that it is no longer even laughable.
-
- The proportions between gossip, and actual events is
nearly twenty to one, at least it is in San Francisco. Between the continuing
dissection of the corpse and life, of what's-her-name Smith, and the travails
of another celebrity druggie named Britney, which when combined consumed
the first 16 -18 minutes of every network newscast - while the combined
national and international "news" was confined to 90 seconds
- followed by more gossip, a lost child, a house fire, an infomercial for
the Oscars, another weather scare and then the traffic: ending with more
weather and then the sports. And that's all the news that's fit to
tell the public! NO - that's propaganda and censorship for sure ~
-
- Nothing about the impending bombing of Iran, or the impending
failure of the dollar (1): or the possible over-flight permission needed
by Israel, (for the bombing run - that was asked for yesterday(2)
- when Israel formally presented their request to the US military
command in Iraq. All of this is less important than a bunch of overpaid
and virtually failed people with way too much money that none of them have
earned?
-
- If the media wants to continue to use the term NEWS,
then they ought to conform to the truth in advertising rules of commercial
businesses - they don't DO News - they DO disinformation and misdirection
of the political and military events of the day - and then they sprinkle
that with more lies and flavor the entire gooey mess with gossip and a
generous supply of trivia.
-
- Because of the Vietnam War, the media was purchased by
the same folks that make all the bombs and bullets, the planes and the
missiles - and this set up a conflict-of-interest. But then why is
it possible for those who make the weapons of war and who provide the oil, the
gasoline, and the jet fuel to run the wars, and who have amassed billions
upon billions through SECRET and illegal policies that they have directed
through the back channels of government AND in the rooms of the White House,
under Cheney's direction: in order to create profits that surpass the GNP
of most nation states - yet why are these same people and corporations
allowed to own all the public's airwaves - maybe as an added bonus?
-
- The stench coming from these criminal enterprises is
creating a huge hole beneath this society, and at the moment it has
become large enough to swallow Washington D.C. - so it ought to be large
enough to also consume the entire charade of the current players within
that circus called "the media," as well! Write and call
your local stations and ask those morons why they are NOT reporting
those parts of life, right now, that might well result in WWIII? On second
thought - don't ask them - DEMAND that they cover these stories, in detail,
and at the top of every news cast!
-
- These cute little network affiliates may not make policy,
but they are damn sure in the community to absorb any backlash that might
occur - so why not make it such a large BACKLASH that central NETWORK casting
might have to review their policies - despite their management overseers,
and those generous payoffs they've already accepted, from both parties
and a lot of businesses? Why not practice this twenty-first century version
of the Boston-Tea-Party - on those very people that are using your airwaves
to block your ability to know what you need to know - if we are going to
survive in this world - Then please - MAKE them responsible!
