TECHNOLOGY AND RELIGION
C-Span hosted a call=in discussion about the tech giant leaders and Congress. Following was a C-Span discussion about whether Americans are religious. Some people recognize a connection.
ENFORCED EXPOSURE
The C-Span discussion about the Korean War was ushered in with an apparently government-inspired movie staging the pro-US perspective of our participation. The movie itself was a delightful reminder of one’s childhood in Upstate NY, where during so many auditorium-movie displays, students were mandated to watch hours of pro-capitalistic views that effectively indoctrinated into capitalism as democracy.
MEDIA AWARE
One risks being wearisome because, as says Bernie Sanders, I keep talking about it because it keeps happening (paraphrase). This time a subliminal message emits from Dr. Phil.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND CHILDCARE
C-Span hosted conversations about Climate Change and childcare, both excellent topics that are too often sidelined in order that state/corporate media can promote the celebrity du jour (Biden and Trump).
NATIONALIZATION
It would seem Iberdola in Spain has some level of control of the electrical grid of NYS, including profits.
MOCKERY IN ELECTIONS
One believes Marianne Williamson will face the challenge of suppression as a Democratic Presidential candidate, by the Democratic Corporate Party. The US Constitution doesn’t sanction electoral control of elections by Party Bosses, but that is where we find ourselves in 2023. Even if the Democratic Primary voters choose Marianne Williamson, the Democratic Corporate Bosses will shoe-horn onto the ballot Joe Biden. This is diabolic in relationship to free and fair elections.
FREE PRESS, HEALTH CARE, AND BIDEN
With the Biden announcement about running for the Presidency in 2024, several thoughts come to mind.
LIKE PRINTING YUR OWN MONEY
This phrase is attributed to Ron Finley who (paraphrase) says growing your own food is like printing your own money.
EVERYONE HAS A PRICE
A call-in topic his morning was asking the question of the definition of “woke”.
TIKTOK GIBBERISH
Congress has concerns about abuse of the US public by the commercial entity known as TikTok, that is affiliated with China. Hmm….concern for the US public; better late than never.
20 YEARS OF WEALTH TRANSFER
Apparently this is the 20th anniversary of the “War in Iraq”. Many callers to C-Span expressed belated regrets for this anomaly of a military action by the USA. Better late than never. Many people were vehement in condemnation of this ill-fated military self-indulgence in the time and place. We also remember the media frenzy over “freedom fries” and “supporting our President”. Too bad our Presidents don’t support We The People.
WESTERN VALUES
C–span this morning seemed to be a litany of episodes of predatory behavior from hierarchical Establishment with the liability placed upon We The People. This seems to be “running government like a business” which on a continuum is organized crime.
IS TRANSPARENCY DANGEROUS?
On the topic of whether the USA is a democracy, neither is it capitalistic. The republic will be what we make of it; and when the public is treated as irrelevant, democracy will not result.
MEDIA CHERRY-PICKS INFO….AKA ADVERTISING
The news story of the day seems to be that MSM is limited on FACTual news reports. Aside from the so-predictable FOX so-called story about obfuscation for ad dollars, what else is new?
