This Weekend in the News

I heard an interesting quote today from a journalist who was in the Czeck Republic in the time of Stalinist Fascism and I believe he was talking to a soldier who said,"the good thing about fascist media is that you know anything they say is the opposite of what the real news is.".Something in that statement sound eerily familiar?Maybe it is just my informed perspective on what the news media says today that allows me to apply this fascist twist to our own information sources here in the U.S..Time and time again I come up with examples of outright lies,buried stories,manufactured truths,scare tactics...electronic terrorism via media conglomerates and government controlled newspaper tycoons.It is the evil symbiosis of power and propaganda.
I watched President Hugo Chavez today,uninterrupted by corporate sponsored cheerleaders and corporate pimping of unnecessary goods,and was very surprised to hear a story that has not once been told in the mainstream media...in fact the smear campaign against this man is unfair and criminal in my opinion.What he has done in his country is what all parts of the world are beginning to experience,a global awareness of the wrongs committed and the need for action to change the course of human history.Even here in the United States people are coming to understand that they can oppose the war and be patriotic at the same time,in fact not to oppose the war is a kind of crime in itself...a crime of complacency.The feelings of rage inside of me let me know that soon we will be heard and will have to be addressed,there is no way that I am the only one who knows what has been done by the hands of our government and by our unwillingness to act.As citizens of a Democracy,we are guilty by way of our silence and by refusing to speak out against aggression and imperialism.
As I absorb these reports and writings and documentaries about the past 50 or so years I cannot help but think of my children,I have 5,I am reminded of them almost by the minute as I hear stories of families ripped apart,bodies ripped apart,film footage of childrens bodies lying in piles of rubble or by the roadside near some smoking crater.Scenes of women brutalized,kidnapped,raped and killed or left for dead.So many tragedies(and these are very small and few examples)that have ,from what I have gleaned from books,film and reports,have been in one way or another carried out through United States Imperialist policies.Sometimes even just for corporate favors to big players in the NWO camp.
Well,I am just an average citizen/reporter activist "left wing wacko" yet I still believe that to allow dissent is to allow democracy to work the way The Constitution intends.If our voices are not heard soon we may lose them completely.Keep an eye on the wire tapping legislation running around Washington..and I have heard reports that the FBI is involved in training local police forces to deal with large groups of protestors...hmmm,I wonder what's next on the agenda,2nd amendment?(unconfirmed report)
So American people,sleep tight and remember,You can never silence the voice of the voiceless!
