Shocked I am simply shocked, I tell you :-0
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/13/politics/13covert.html?hp&ex=1110776400&en=c0b6bad84e5bf46a&ei=5094&partner=homepageIs it any wonder that the people in this country believe the most incredible things about George Bush that are, at best, just plain made up?
Is it any wonder that the fact that a president lied to his people,multiple times to justify the invasion a defenseless country, killed and murdered an estimated 100,000 innocent people, half of whom were women and children and it appears to have simply gone the way of the silent movie?
It is not surprising that dead American warriors arrive in the middle of night at Dover AFB and that thousands of wounded and maimed are unloaded in the dead of night there also. No wonder at all that photographers are not allowed, under threat of punishment, to take a single shot of these fallen warriors, their flag draped caskets, their missing legs and arms, their blindness, their vacant expressions.. It is not part of the script in this three act play produced by the PR team. It cannot be faked much so I suspect these clever propagandists have decided that it is best hidden.
Why be surprised at the violence in this country? Hell I don't even know if the reports of violence are true or not. It's origin is not in the video games, or in the entertainment media. It's in the way that the great tide of the fake world is accepted and has pervaded our national consciousness. In a world where practically everything is a three act extravaganza production, some poor stage hand computes that it is OK to kill someone for a slight disagreement, or for a perceived slur, because it is all a made up world anyhow and the most important thing is to learn to lie like a Bush pro,--you know, -- work it like a public relations problem, and it will all be forgotten, like in a year or so. Like the silent movie.
I suspect that a lot of people know this deep down, but willingly suspend disbelief and accept it as the world in which we live--a fake world, but, shrug, so what?
Fake news, masquerading as real genuine and bonofide news, put out by the Bush government and was to some extent by the Clinton government also. The well oiled , well funded pubilc relations team, in their quest for making a lot of money, also shrug it off, take no responsibility for the fake news and blame it on someone else. It is all accepted policy to try to fool the people,and they know the best ways to do it because after all, they make a lot of money doing it and that deserves respect -- don't it?
. I may have changed my mind about the stupidity of the people who voted for Bush, and wonder if it is fair to put the blame on simple minded people for their belief in Bush as a great leader, for the love America, we are the greatest, America love it or leave it, flag waving mesmerized screen watchers for their pathetic vulnerabililty to a scam.
The fake world is the real world. One in which the goal seems to be to make a lot of money, and throw away any reflection upon the ethics of one's actions. Sell the fake world--sell your soul in the process but nevermind --
An unexamined life is not worth living--(poor old dude -- so naive)--of course it is and there is proof in the mansions, the wealth, the power, the fame, all which gathers to one's bosom the sought after "respect"
Fake skin, fake eyes, fake breasts, fake lips--all a part of the fake world that has been accepted as the real world. Perhaps it is. Perhaps I have just failed to set my sails right, or my boat is too old to keep up with the real armada.
It is brilliant propaganda. It has been successful, and it goes unfettered.
"Everybody does it" as the fake reporter said in this piece.
