The role of the U.S. corporate-stream – so-called �news� and information media – is an insidious and debilitating one, particularly as it pertains to crippling and manipulating the masses of everyday ordinary people, and keeping them on the mental and political plantations of the corporate Democratic and Republican party foxes and wolves. The job of the corporate media is to distract, omit, and disinform the people. Thus, ordinary people are mercilessly bombarded with distractions that serve to keep them/us manipulated, divided and controlled. The corporate-stream media is nothing more than the mouth piece of and for the corporate Democratic and Republican politicians who, in turn, are the political servants of the corporate elite. The people in this nation are not stupid, but they are kept ignorant of in-depth pertinent details regarding the pressing national and international issues that directly affect their welfare and best economic and political interests. Like the U.S. corporate elite and their Republicrat [i.e. Democratic and Republican party] stooges, the mission of the U.S. �news� media is to keep the people distracted, divided, and controlled. This cannot be over emphasized.
The time has come for an end to corporate hegemony and glut inside this nation and around the world. The time has come for an end to economic austerity against the ordinary people of this nation. The time has come for an end to the U.S. rank and file military being used as the cannon fodder of the U.S. corporate/military elite. The time has come for an end to the missiles, bombings, shootings, and maiming by the U.S. corporate military machine in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Africa, and elsewhere. The time has come for an end to the de facto legalized police state (NDAA-style) inside the United States. The time has come for an end to U.S. international war-mongering. The time of color and ethnic fear and rage that is in fact perpetuated by the politicos of the corporate Democratic and Republican parties must be brought to a resounding close. And yes, the time has come for an end to the sadistic imprisonment of political prisoners throughout this nation itself. Enough already! These outrages do not represent the wishes of the majority of people in this nation. Moreover, these outrages serve to incite internal and external fear and hatred even as the greedy corporate elite becomes even more bloated from the pain, misery, division, and suffering of ordinary everyday people in this nation and around the world. These outrages, carried out in the fallacious name of the people of this nation by the Democratic and Republican parties, must be made to cease. Only we the people – ordinary everyday people – can and will do this through a long, hard, and determined protracted struggle to take back our critical thinking abilities and our humanity from these systemic bloodsuckers.
