  • Gore Vidal reminds us sadly how we are totally manipulated. What freedom of speech and press. America has no freedoms. As Gore Vidal says, the republic is lost!! Give it back to the British.

  • "GE makes nuclear weapons it owns NBC" bingo! that's why they don't try to prevent war by giving the citizenry real info. which might put public pressure on the politicians but they do make money covering it. GE made money from selling weapons & their media made money from ads by covering the war as the ratings increased & everybody in that corrupt little circle is happy......while americans get fucked without knowing about the circle of power controlling everything

  • What a life, knowing & telling the truth & nobody listening.

    Speaking of controlled media ... PBS Frontline is being used for the NSA coming out party. Documentaries like 'Spying on the HomeFront' / 'The Spy Factory' / and the upcoming 'Top Secret America'.

    Basically the NSA is taking off the kid gloves and unzipping it's pants and very much wants you to know it and be scared by it.

    After watching 'Top Secret America' ask yourself if all this is really for Al-Qaeda or us - their real enemy

  • @davideley

    all praise the great mother!

  • With how much that has changed (or slid down hill) from when you made this statement to now.... i think your statement is not only still holds water but has taken on more.

  • I would say even before 1913.

  • I love to watch Pope Blitzer as he comes on CNN his profound expression of the days news full of beautiful corporate government spin that just so happens to bend it in the direction likely to sell more product. We hang on every word intently listening o the 10 commandments that god has given Pope Blitzer for that day. And we go to bed resting in peace knowing Pope Blitzer God and our Government know whats going on. Makes you want to puke think they are Edward R Murrows and Walter Kronkite.

  • Thomas Jefferson want-a-be. Ain't even close.

  • "Dicit ei Iesus ego sum via et veritas et vita nemo venit ad Patrem nisi per me"

    -John 16:4
