On susanhu’s front paged diary, “I Spy” on Other Blogs, she mentions the WAPO bullshit Froomkin/Woodward brouhaha and the latest “Round up all of the suspects with a name like Novak” thing from Time mag. She speaks of them as if they were real. They are not. They are merely more of the continuing soap opera that is presented to us under the well established disinfo tactic “Let them eat news” or “Give them news and circuses” while the REAL shit takes place behind closed doors somewhere else.

Somewhere very far else.

Bet on it.

Another sleight of mind trick by that master stage magician, Mr. Media.

And then philinmaine replied…quite correctly…

….and we’re surprised? Wave at the lil monitoring contractor, everyone…one, two, three, (if i were truly clever i could draw a picture of which finger I’m waving)

We need a good left hook. We need Howard Dean.

My extended answer below.
Phil…

If we were to GET Howard Dean…what would we do with him?

Why, we would sit back and complain as the media savaged him once again.

I am SO TIRED of this endless whining about the media in left blogworld.

When are we going to get the message?

Mark Twain once said “Everybody complains about the weather but no one does anything about it.”

Well…DO something about it.

NEWSTRIKE!!!

The media is totally crooked. It is the bagman who makes sure the fix is in.

Clever, clever little bagman, it makes sure that the fix does not appear to be TOO in by placing a bet or two on the opposition, but when push comes to shove…it’s always the bad guys who get the best press.

Do you have issues with the Wahingtoon Post?  The NY Slimes? Jmmy Breslin’s line comes to mind. “The pekinese of the press.” We spend endless hours sniffing the various lampposts and fire hydrants upon which these running dogs of imperialism leave their tepid piss, hours and hours more complaining about how bad it smells, and yet we do nothing at all about it except get up the next morning and run outside to sniff the same piss on the same lampposts and fire hydrants once again.

Wake the fuck UP, people.

You want to make a difference?

Boycott them.

Pay them no mind at all. OR any money.

Boycott their advertisers.

There was a meme in the black community…just before Bush Senior and his allies totally decimated most of said community by inundating it with crack cocaine.

“Do for self.”

THAT was when these criminals really decided that enough was enough, that these uppity negroes had to be put back in their place. When that community really started to “do for self”.

Well…fast forward to 2005.

We are ALL their niggers now. Bet on it. And all of the posturing in the world doesn’t mean SHIT to them as long as we stay in our rightful place. Working for the man every night and day and rolling, rolling, rolling in the river of shit and disinformation that conveniently pours out of every information orfice in the country 24/7, 365/52.

DO FOR SELF.

Step AWAY FROM THE TV with your minds in the air. Put down that newspipe newspaper you are smoking and crack the habit wide open !!!

NEWSTRIKE!!!, goddamnit.

They are not GOING to reform. Not unless they are forced to do so by financial pressure. Their ombudsmern need ombudsmen.

FUGGEDABOUDEM.

TAKE YOUR ATTENTION AND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE.

THAT would get their attention.

It is the only thing that will get their attention.

That and/or a massive dropout from the whole financial boondoggle that they are running.

And yes, I am talking revolution here.

It’s an Information Age? That’s what we are told by all the DIS-information outlets.

24/7, 365/52.

OK…let’s have an Information Insurrection.

I DARE ya.

People used to burn draft cards. Remember?

WE should be burning our credit cards instead of using them to continue automatically reupping our subscriptions to Newsweak and HottestThingEver Inc. magazines.

We should be making our automobiles run 200,000+ miles instead of leasing new ones every 2 or 3 years.

Buying inexpensive houses in working class neighborhoods and paying off the mortgages instead of moving up up up in the world every decade or so.

Starve the motherfuckers out.

Lay seige to their fortress of money and their disinfo soldiers.

Do for self.

And watch ’em scurry THEN.

But NOOOoooooo…

I will GUARANTEE that two or three days from now, with the exception of a few sane voices raised in opposition you will be able to log onto almost any so-called “liberal” blog and read the same complaints about the same newspapers and networks that I have been reading since I started paying serious attention to this form of communication in a political sense about one year ago.

There has not been an INCH of real movement in this situation.

Nor of course has there been any movement towards truth in the media either.

“All the news that we are told to print” should be the motto of the Dull Grey Lady.

And the saying “It’s not over until the fat lady sings” OUGHT to be “It is over if you listen to the fat lady sing.”

Her siren song.

Stuff beeswax in your ears, me hearties, and follow Cap’n Odysseus out of this trap.

Or…be turned into swine.

Your choice.

NEWSTRIKE!!!, goddamnit.

P.S. The great saxophonist John Coltrane was famous for his extended solos. As a relatively young man, he once complained to Miles Davis (Who was equally famous for his terse, elusive style) about how he couldn’t seem to bring himself to stop playing once he got started.

Miles’ immortal answer?

“Take the motherfucking horn outta your mouth.”

Well…take the motherfucking disinfo horn outta your ear.

And outta your ass, too.

You be bettah off.
