The American empire has not altered under Barack Obama. It kills as brutally and indiscriminately in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan as it did under George W. Bush. It steals from the U.S. treasury to enrich the corporate elite as rapaciously. It wil…
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely…
THIS IS HOW HUMANITY EVOLVES
THIS IS HOW WE GOT OUT OF PLATO'S CAVE
THIS IS AT THE BASIS OF SCIENCE'S QUEST
THIS IS HOW FACTS REPLACES BLIND FAITH
THIS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED BY ONE & ALL
THIS IS MANKIND'S DUTY
THIS IS FREE EXPRESSION

Just saying ;)
White Noise is 100% behind these 3 journalist-musketeers with Greg Palast D'Artagnan...
Chris Hedges http://www.truthdig.com/rep...
Now don't get me wrong here, there is still, against all odds, great investigative reporting going on. Seymour Hersh, comes to mind. Check here for more : http://centerforinvestigativer eporting.org/
Problem is; most of that work is diligently kept from the public's eye, as plainly demonstrated here : www.projectcensored.org
Just follow the money ! It has become so bad that we can now accurately predict what stories will not see the light of day while we are inundated with showbiz galore & people willingly hurting themselves on You Tube for a shot at their 15 minutes of cyber-stardom. www.projectcensored.org/top-st ories/category/y-2009/
The pabulum narrative we are being fed has become reality and commentators & pundits regurgitate it as gospel.
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. - Noam Chomsky
A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself, - Joseph Pulitzer
Never the less...
White Noise tagged along Greg Palast, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. & Mike Papantonio's GO LEFT TV's first incarnation against 8 years of W's violent abuse of this land with over a dozen of activist video clips.
Gore Vidal, Ralph Nader, Keith Olbermann, Tony Benn, Allan Nairn & Greg Palast have all received the White Noise treatment to general acclaim or utter revulsion, depending on political inclination or awareness of facts which we all know by now are sooo bias ;)
As a whole, the clips paint a pretty bleak picture of the US of A. An alternate reality to big media's cheer leading. Just keep on shopping as mantra just ain't enough. As a humanist, war & empire building comes out as a racket paid for with the blood & suffering of mostly women & children the world over. A far cry from the image US citizens entertain of themselves. Howard Zinn's & A People History of American Empire or John Perkins's Confessions of an Economic Hit Man narratives does not bode well with the ambient propaganda that passes for information in this country. The deliberate dumbing down of America carries an awful price tag; mainly the loss of our Republic !
Since there is a new sheriff in town,
White Noise shifts gear...
CITIZENS 2.0 : PLAYERS NOT CHEERLEADERS !
I am new enough on the national political scene that I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views. - Barack Obama / The Audacity of Hope
OK, I'LL BITE... YOU WANT CHANGE ?
DON'T JUDGE POLITICIANS ON WHAT THEY SAY BUT ON WHAT THEY DO !
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. - Groucho Marx
Marxism we can believe in ;)
Meanwhile...
We are watching a poorly staged rendition of Wag the Dog , interpreted for the morbidly stupid and performed by the criminally insane. - Jules Carlysle
