The Time Is Now

OK, I’m going to throw in my two cents’ worth re the MSNBC Olbermann/Matthews removal of main election coverage for new host David Gregory. This is so sadly typical. In 2003, MSNBC dropped Phil Donahue, its highest rated program at that time, weeks prior to the Iraqi invasion in abject fear that the network would somehow be painted with an antiwar bias. Never mind that roughly 30% of the population opposed the war at that time and had very little voice in our country. Now, five and a half years later, this maneuver clearly demonstrates the continual mortal fear networks (MSNBC currently in the spotlight) have of the Right, the Republican presidential campaign machine and the Multinational Corporations in control. Anything contrary to their thinking is somehow “unpatriotic,” “biased” and/or “unfair.” Thus, forget “truth” and push the pap in order to keep the "Right" mollified.

I believe the only way to get the truth is to look at the Independent Media and blogosphere. I realize that a lot of bloggers and certain Independent Media have their own agendas, both right and left, but I believe there are those independents that do root out truth, unlike the Mainstream Shills of the Government who want us fat, oblivious, indifferent and complacent.

In my first blog I quoted Noam Chomsky, “It’s out there; all you have to do is look.” Unfortunately in this day and age, one needs to look at the Mainstream spin machines with a very cynical eye and really work hard to find the real truth being covered up. These are perilous times, and we must utilize due diligence to fully understand exactly what is going on and how to right this once magnificent ship called the United States of America. It will be a long process, but we need to start now.

I entreat anyone reading this to make up his or her mind to not listen to the manipulating “regular” press. It has lost all credibility. Nothing they spout can be trusted. Instead, hunt for Truth - find it and share it with whomever you can. We must permanently rid this Malevolent Power that is violently shaking our nation by the scruff of the neck and leading us down a very dark path.

Full, complete awareness is the first step.
