13. gotta watch the " Housewives" bullshit make fools of themselves or American Idol don'tcha know!!
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 07:06 AM by flyarm
or really dumb it down with Jersey shore bullshit..we can't suck up Kabuki theater enough..more we say, more more crap.. with our remote..give us more bullshit to fill our pathetic minds with!!

As long as everyones kids asses are not on the line..its dumbing and numbing of the mind time here in the good ole USof A!..

Get your Ipods out..pass them out while you steal elections..strap a gun on someone else's kid..send the kids to go murder in the name of war..let those banks launder drug money ..coming back to you and your kids from Afghan..then bail the same mtfing banks out with not only your tax dollars but the tax dollars of the young kids we send over to die and kill!

But keep numbing your brain..with bullshit,keep numbing your kids brains with bullshit..and when you have lost everything..then whine! Whine that there are no jobs, whine that you are losing your homes..it seems the only thing any of us get mad about, is when it hits us in our own pockets and pocketbooks!

Who cares ? Do you see people around you caring?? Seriously..do you?? But they bitch and moan about the economy..do any of your friends or family or neighbors give one rats ass about the Iraqi people that we have destroyed their lives? That still don't have potable water or electric? Does anyone you know give one fucking rats ass that over 50% of the citizens of Iraq at the start of the war were under the age of 15..how many of those chldren have we killed and murdered for our own nations greed and lies..do you know anyone who gives a shit?????????

Keep shopping...and if you are too broke to shop...keep watching those brain numbing shows your media corps shove down your throats..they want you numb and dumb..and you are making them very happy!

And just remember this..When Bush started his war of lies..GE that owns NBC/MSNBC/CNBC got the 5th largest no bid contracts for the Iraq war. Don't look there for any Edward R. Murrow's ! They are all whores willing to sell you out, and our kids out, and our nation out for a big, big paycheck and a Condo next to Jeter!
But they are also murderers of the Children in Iraq we have killed for no g-d damned reason but fucking lies!

Stop making hero's of these people who want you to believe they are todays modern day Edward R. Murrows..they are not and not even close! They are complices and murdering whores!

All of them! There is no distinction from one to the other..that is just a figment of ones mind.,they all marched our kids into a war of lies! Every one of them...and they keep the wars going for their own greed!

3. The US MEdia were complicit in the big lie.
Embedded in the big lie, if you will. Why would they draw attention to the truth? If they want access, they do what they were told. Remember what happened to one who spoke out here:

Our nation remains hogtied by these neocon interests that took us into Iraq.

There should be heads rolling because of obvious war crimes and that were as bad as the Germans in WW2 Why did Pelosi take Bush's impeachment off the table? That could have succeeded into uncovering what and who were at the bottom of this. Probably because of bipartisan collusion - that's why.

As the reporter suggested - why isn't Obama the supposed anti-war politician not making hay on this finding as an issue to remind voters of Republican deceit?

20. Disgusting how they punished her for speaking the truth
I was office-less for ten months ... No phone, no computer. For ten months I had to report to work every day and ask where I could sit. If somebody was away I could use their desk. Eventually, after ten months of this, I was given an office that was a tape closet. They cleared the tapes out and put a desk and a TV in there, and a computer and phone. It was pretty blatant. The message was crystal clear. Yet they wouldn't let me leave. I begged for seventeen months to be let out of my contract. If they had no use for me, let's just part ways amicably—no need for payouts, just a clean break. And wouldn't allow it. I don't know what his rationale was—perhaps he thought I would take what I felt was a very strong brand, and others felt was a very strong brand, to another network and make a success of it. Maybe that's why he chose to keep me in a warehouse. I will never forgive him for his cruelty and the manner in which he decided to dispose of me.

4. Anger diminished with time. No repercussions from an inert population.

Collusive corporate media enablers helping to hide anger-causing lies and liars.

5. That is the US media's strong suit.
Ignoring facts that don't forward their predetermined "narrative."

8. Scott Ritter has said that the U.S. knew as early as the mid-1990s...
...that Iraq was disarmed. It was ALL a big lie. All of it.

14. and our media smeared Scott Ritter to pieces when he told the truth ..
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 07:13 AM by flyarm
its what we do in this country..we act like our government leaders are celebrities instead of our employees, and they lie to our faces and they send our kids to kill or die for their lies and their power..and yet we keep electing them..Mine is good, yours is bad..mine is like a celebrity don'tcha know..

we need to clean house..I mean clean it all out..

No where in our constitution does it say these are lifetime jobs, or our representatives are to be given Celebrity status.. .and yet we all send our reps back time and time again to keep fucking our kids and our lives! And the lives of innocent people our country keeps attempting to dominate and colonize and steal their resources!

WOW..aren't we smart???????

10. You know I think the real lesson
of 911 was to remind us of who was really in charge. Don't ask too many questions, don't go against the war, don't protest any loss of civil rights. Because we are capable of such great and terrible things. The debacle in the GOM sends the same message. We will define what is an election, ect. The president, congress and senate and judges only have so much power these days. It was the same message when JFK was shot. We can do what we want.

Nomatter what they are not bigger than the whole population, so they want us all fighting and divided, and guess what--mission accomplished.

12.  Eric Margolis was on top of the lies in the entire lead up to the wars
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 06:39 AM by flyarm
I used to post his articles constantly before Bush & Cheney started their wars of lies!

He is a brillant man who has worked very hard to document the lies of these wars!

I thank Eric Margolis for always fighting for truth!

Mr Margolis has more integrity than anyone in our US media! By a long shot!

And he is not afraid to call a lie and damn lie!

He has my utmost respect..and that is saying alot..because I have no respect whatsoever for any in our media or our government to the highest seat of our land! NONE!

18. I always said we would have to rely on the Brits to get the truth out regarding Iraq...
We have not even begun to investigate the lies that led us into the Iraq War.

The Bush/Cheney NeoCons have enriched their war profiteering pals, cost thousands of lives, and walked away scott free. Not to mention the secret prisons, surveillance, etc. they have given us.
