The Corporate Controlled Media will decide what we should be obsessing over to keep attention off reality. Once Terri's gone we'll go back to Michael Jackson or some other equally compelling tragedy. Please read this article and pass it along:
Rove's Tricky Decoy Dumphttp://www.crisispapers.org/essays-w/decoy-dump.htmYou've seen the movies and animations: Enemy weapons are fired at an American plane or submarine; to avoid being blown up, "chaff" is thrown out to confuse the incoming missiles/torpedoes into going after the decoys rather than the targeted jet or ship.
In a way, that defensive trickery seems an apt description of how Karl Rove's political team operates. They choose a select number of objectives they really care about, go all out for them -- often in secret -- and the rest of their high-profile program is often little more than decoy chaff to keep their political enemies from focusing attacks on the Administration's deepest-held plans.
So what is it that Bush&Co. really are after in these final four years? I would suggest that at the core of their desires are these two:
1. To have effective American control of the oil/natural-gas reserves worldwide, concentrating first in the Middle East, the "stan" countries along the Caucuses arc, and in South America.
2. To lay the groundwork for generations of Republican political dominance in American politics even after Bush departs the White House -- and, as a corollary, to avoid criminal prosecution for their felonies and misdemeanors while in office.
Accomplishing #1: In the Middle East, that means unfailing Administration support for the one big regional ally it can count on, Israel, and "regime changing" a good many Islamic-nation governments from autocracies to U.S.-friendly "democracies" that will do America's energy- and political-bidding.
Accomplishing #2: That means continued majority control of the Congress by destroying the Democratic Party as a viable opposition (including painting Dems as "unpatriotic" and starving the party of its traditional funding sources, most notably by diminishing the incomes of attorneys, teachers, union members), packing more and more HardRight judges onto the federal appellate courts and U.S. Supreme Court, making sure that the computerized, GOP-owned vote-counting system stays exactly the way it is, and keeping the corporate-owned mass-media a willing propaganda tool.
Carrying out all the above will ensure continued GOP control of the three branches of government, and the Fourth Estate of the mass-media. And assures that the GOP and their corporate supporters will make out like bandit$
