40. Television Eye

"...before you got me hooked, I used to read."



Words to a great song by a great man, John Mayall:

Television Eye

Television Eye,
hypnotizing me in my bed.
I’ve got no time to sleep,
my eyes are turning bloodshot red.
You’ve got me in your eye,
staring at your many channeled head.

Television Eye,
before you got me hooked,
I used to read.
Now you’re by my bedside,
shining empty lights on me.
‘Round the clock commercials,
Trying to sell me things I’ll never need.

It’s hard to turn you on,
even though you’ve never turned me on.
Trying to slow my thinking,
I feel my mind is nearly gone.
Television Eye,
You’ve had me in your power too long.

I’ve got to be crazy or something.
It’s just ridiculous.
Why am I wasting time watching you?
I’ve got better things to do.
I’ve got to leave…

-- John Mayall



Now, IMFO:

If you can control what people think about, you can control what they do.

This is the essence of public relations, marketing and psyops.

And it is why the Bushies and the satanic turds they serve spend so much time and money “catapaulting the propaganda,” to borrow a phrase from an incurious monkey.



The nation's Founders mention only one business by name in the Constitution -- a Free Press. They knew, for a democracy to survive -- for our Republic to succeed -- required an informed citizenry.

(That was in 1776 -- before radio or photography, "General" Alberto Gonzales.)

Frank Capra explained it perfectly: “A free press means a free people.”

Meaning, the more the People know -- the more Truth -- the better the government.

And that is why the Press is no longer free. It is owned and operated by the BFEE.

So many people don't hear the facts about Bush lying America into war. Or about his family and cronies profiting from war. Or about torture being employed on a mass scale. Or about spying on Americans... It's also why public education and the arts are de-funded and ignored.

You see, an educated populace is harder to mis-lead. That makes the enlightened enemies of the fascist state.
