Old Postings Scattered About

I decided to do something constructive over the short winter break. Collect up my scattered writing (attempts) from other blog sites. These posts go back awhile. On other sites, I often tailored content to the readers of the blog. If you ventured out of a blog's subject zone, you are often afforded little tolerance for the transgression and some times harsh critique. Was that a polite enough description? I hope to update things weekly on subjects I view as important.

The Crushing of the Republic

I run down my blog roll daily. Most are independent sources, some foundations and such. Though I am careful about think tank type non profits. I do view the blogosphere as extremely crucial and beneficial to disseminating information outside of the control of the Corporate Owned News Propaganda Media (CONPM).

The Financial blogs in particular have played a crucial and outstanding role of critiquing the fabrications straight out of the government and Wall Street. The Financial blogs have uncovered information and punched holes in the worthless corporate financial press that has been an embarrassment to the old world propaganda machines like NYT, WSJ and CNBC. They were first ignored, then ridiculed and now patronized and attacked. Did not some peace guy say something about that?

The criticism is that blogs are unreliable sources of information full of crack pots and conspiracy theorists... see "then ridicule"... In the last two years who is more unreliable? Who has been caught wrong? Printing bogus facts easily checked by amateurs (You NYT)? Asleep at the wheel? Printing government, Wall Street propaganda with out questioning any of it? Sucking up for career furtherment? Losing readership and going bankrupt in droves? Broadcasting diversionary spin and garbage rather than the real facts of political and financial leadership failure?

That is right. The Main Stream Corporate Media Whores.

We all have seen during this financial crisis, which is really a political crisis, that the propaganda machine is in overdrive to convince you the reality you feel, see and experience is not real. The US political class is an abject failure of greed and corruption. The greed and corruption of the elites who own the political is now accelerating exponentially. Corporate owned governance is the official US political structure driven by legalized campaign bribes and corporate Wall Street out and out ownership of teh lackey political class. Any one who has opened their eyes can see that there is little difference between the two corporate shill parties.

We Have To Find A Third Party Alternative

The corruption is systemic. It has been years in the building. We are now clearly finished with the Republic phase of this empire. We have moved into the Imperial phase of lunatic emperors, empire overreach, imperial wars to benefit the oligarchy, systemic corruption and looting of any and every public asset and general debauchery by the ruling moneyed elite.

An optimist you say. Thanks for reading.
