Robert Parry a TRUE journalist and Truth Teller has done many great articles, informing the CRIMES of the Reagan Cabal and the media that turned on him , to HIDE the truth .

Read what he wrote about Colin powell , the best piece ever written about the phony .

Yup that's what happens when you have ill-behaved 60's radicalism. The unreasonableness of the radicals required the government to become more controlling.

[masameus]

Bullshit.

[JohananRaatz]

"Bullshit."

Well it's the truth. Read Hobbes. The radicals and extremists of the 60's were behaving the way you would expect people to behave in a Hobbesian state of nature. I don't hear you proposing a method for reigning them in.

[masameus]

What I am protesting is the notion that the measures to censor and manipulate the media are somehow justified because of the "unreasonableness" of a bunch of old hippies. But since you mentioned the Hobbesian state of nature, I have to say that I don't agree with that idea either. People only become unruly within a system of rule. Outside systems based on the imposed relationship of rule there is little opportunity or even personal motivation to be unruly.

[JohananRaatz]

"somehow justified because of the "unreasonableness""

I know but are you arguing against it? Because believe it or not the Straussian have very well laid out justifications for this.

"become unruly within a system of rule."

Ok yes with no laws there can be no unlawfulness. Let me put it another way. Without laws people will do bad things that I don't want them to.

"there is little opportunity or even personal motivation to be unruly."

You don't know human nature very well then.

You're a retarded charlatan.

@JohananRaatz

So you are contempt living life as a pawn, constantly marginalized by a static ruling class? You fuckin pussy...

Obviously anarchy can't work within a nation-state, but neither can a dysfunctional bureaucracy. When those in control are corrupted by self-interest and do not seek to further our collective interests, then something needs to be done. However, it is ultimately the media preventing us to understand this. Kinda like how slaves were not allowed to be educated.

[JohananRaatz]

@OC8O A pawn? Me? LOL those aren't my plans in life.

[boland44]

Parry is great. You should check out Consortium News.
