I have touched on the topic of ‘media headlines’ in the past. What’s news to the newsmakers isn’t necessarily what you want to be informed of…which is to ask how unfortunate is it that your ‘need to know’ isn’t even a consideration when the people who make their money, er, ‘distributing’ news sit down to decide how they’re going to ‘spin’ what they want you to know?
What there can be no mistaking is how the contents of the front page is information they want you to know…
The question (if you still have two brain cells in communication with one another) is ‘why’?
Naturally, the ongoing crisis in Japan continues to dominate the headlines, particularly, the ‘cliffhangers’ regarding Japan’s ‘robust’ nuclear power infrastructure. Nothing like a couple of potential meltdowns to throw a wet towel on ‘alternative energy’!
It’s a little tragic that aside from its destructive potential the only ‘peaceful’ application of atomic power is boiling water…but figuring out other ways to harness nuclear energy is ‘politically unpopular’ especially with those invested in the fossil fuel industry.)
Which is to say it’s little ‘(un) natural disasters’ like this that provide the media with a respite from their regular duty of putting a positive spin on some decidedly negative economic data.
Thankfully, we have sources other than the corporate owned media which provide us with a, er, ‘contrasting’ view of the Big Picture…
Hyperinflation Special Report (2011) March 15th, 2011
United States Nears Hyperinflationary Great Depression
Federal Reserve and Government Have Exploded the U.S. Fiscal Crisis, Shattered Global Confidence in the U.S. Dollar but Not Resolved Ongoing Economic and Systemic-Solvency Crises.
High Risk of Ultimate Dollar Disaster Beginning to Unfold in Months Ahead,
2014 Remains the Outside Timing for Same. [Meaning it should happen BEFORE then.]
Contracting Money Supply Can Be Inflationary When Real Economy Contracts Even Faster
Major Economic Series Suggests Formal Depression in Place.
You already know what my assessment of the situation is good citizen so I won’t bore you with a rehash.
In brief we’re ‘scroomed’!
There’s no way to use the system to fix the system short of hitting the ‘reset’ button AND THAT WOULD BE A DISASTER!
Letting the same fuckers who screwed up the current system use the reset button to ‘erase’ their mistakes (crimes) would only buy a little (precious little) more time.
I posit that the, er, ‘temptation’ to, er, ‘repeat past transgressions’ would be too great, making an already lopsided situation even worse.
Thereby defeating the purpose of the whole exercise.
We MUST follow the formula! We must first change how we do things THEN we can hit the reset button!
But no, that’s not how things get done here in ‘special interest land’. If there’s something to be had by hoodwinking the public then by all means (and against all reason or logic) the reset button will be tripped by the same fuckers who got us here in the first place!
No irony should be lost on the fact that the pundits are wondering out loud about precisely who the so called conservatives ‘think’ their base is.
Since their current position is mathematically impossible the answer is both simple and obvious, their ‘base’ is that tiny fraction of society that owns just about everything!
This is not democracy any more than it is either freedom or liberty…and justice has been gone so long that nobody remembers what it looks like!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
