Comments on: Has Mao Become A Role Model For Our Media? http://www.mediachannel.org/wordpress/2008/01/01/has-mao-become-a-role-model-for-our-media/ As The Media Watches The World, We Watch The Media Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:11:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Cord;ey Coit http://www.mediachannel.org/wordpress/2008/01/01/has-mao-become-a-role-model-for-our-media/#comment-9463 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 11:15:14 +0000 http://www.mediachannel.org/wordpress/2008/01/01/has-mao-become-a-role-model-for-our-media/#comment-9463 Looks to me people are begininng to understand what is happening. As the police state grows thinking people will see the wider picture. Setting up the torture state to add fear to the monitory debasement which reinforces the narco government that has been going on for years. War crimes are a cover for the looting of the treasury under the guise of privatization. The same gangsterization of civil society as was practiced in Russia over the last twenty years is happening here. Looks to me people are begininng to understand what is happening.

Rabid hatred of "regulations" by Republicans, whose concept of "power" is statist and morbid fear of scientific definitions by Democrats have led the fifth estate into what I nominate as virtual thralldom. The comparison to Mao's misuse of force and media might have been overstated in the present article; bit the principle is clearly all-too-apt. Until we have regulations enforced upon those making non-fictional presentations, controls which afford full rights only to those who provide attested facts and not myths, standards-based evaluations and not discontexted attitudes and full scientific categorizing proofs and not mere beliefs, we can never have objective coverage or information from any news source whatever. Only the former providers of truth, the realists, earn the right to use words such as " fact, I think, I know, this is good or bad, excllent or terrible, this is true or this proves". These are words that must be DENIED to those who offer nothing but lies and brainwashing in various forms. The real problem I assert is not where their erroneous ideas are coming from after all, be that government or non-government sources; the problem is the nature of the disinformation, outright lies, arrogant denials and falsified arguments, evaluations and omissions which that faulty information contains, presents and repeats over and over again. No single action undertaken by postmodernist neocons in this century has ever worked as advertised; and becaue they are anti-reslists, none ever will. The de-Americanization, de-individualization, of the Constitution has been perpetrated, culminating in 1994 with the de facto setting up of an imperial presidential and pseudo-theocratic destruction of citizen rights claimed under regulations--this under the noses of willfully blind so-called newsmen. They complain about specifics but never about the categorical threat to realistic thought,to life, to liberty and to the pursuit of priorities of selfishly chosen happiness. The scandals of Enron, Florida's vote count, in 2000, Ohio's in 2004, Halliburton, Iraq, the FCC, the destruction of balance of powers, paranoid secrecy, destruction of proerty rights, the conomy's tank job, diseducation, nonexistent or doubly expensive health care, the alienation of 75--80 percent of the nations' wealth by an elite class of corporate-bureaucratic insiders, the degeneracy of the arts, the institutionalization of bossism by gate-keeper thugs of privilege and power at every level and in every field of thought and endeavor...Where are the reports of these treasons in the press? Apologists for Bushite Big Lie, suppressed and sirtoted data, and Kantian false headlinings, dirty tricks and dirtier governance are now trying to smear John Edwards. Why? Because he is the only man who is standing for real change in the way the U.S. has been misgvoverned. If that malperformance isn't Maoism, I suggest it's enough like it to warrant the attention of a publiic of hundreds of millions of dangerously indifferent victims. After all, these minds will soon be voting for change--except that they will be receiving information about the candidates and the state of the nation/empire filtered through the distorted lens of a press which is 80% pro imperial presidential right-wing pretenders to the once estimable name of "a free press".

Gee and all this time I thought Moe was one of your heroes!! And you are right, oops correct, don't listen to "them" you am are THE guiding light!! Danny Aireona George the only words of "HONESTY WISDOM and CORRECTNESS" and the anti American way!! That is probably the longest winded dissertation on the obvious I have seen lately. Just FYI my Browser always"sees" and reproduces your "security" word. Just a curious thought how does MAMBLA and Mediachannel rate tax exempt status? I value both as completely perfectly bad examples, different light , but both BAD! Jon Righton Danny , you rock bro!!
