Right , Left Blindness.

[Guest guest]

John,

 

I personally have quit seeing things, in our present situation in the

USA, as a partisan political right left dichotomy. I think the

seriousness of the situation is way beyond that at this point and in

reality has been for years now. I encourage everyone else to try and

do the same.

 

It is not about right vs. left. It is about the select few vs.

everyone. It is about fascism/imperialism. It is about the police

state. It is about our way of governing and way of life going down the

tubes. It is about changing all of the world's " democracies " into

ruthlessly corrupt fascist police states. Almost everyone in politics

is wearing a black hat. With a couple of exception, I do not see any major

heros.

 

At present the top 10% have 2 political parties representing them in

the USA. The other 90% have no one. With very few exceptions, I do not

see anyone right or left representing " the people " . I see them all

lining up to represent the oligarchs, the military/industrial expanded

complex which now includes most all other areas/big mutinationals, and

all the other usual facist elements. I see almost all of them

supporting the lies, policies, misdeeds, crimes, etc. of the push to

bring this country and most of the world down and to change them all,

to be one ran by the few for their own benefit, while leaving the

populace in poverty, enslaved or chained in some form.

 

To carry on about partisan poilitics while we are being enslaved is

like fighting who gets to be the leader while the house is on fire and

burning down around us.

 

regards,

 

Frank

" News You Won't Find On CNN. " Such captions infuriate me, becuase of

the mindset that drives them. We're being invited into the inner

sactums of leftist thought, and made to feel as if we're a select few,

with access to secret and jealously guarded information. We see this

mentality at Air America, that almost proudly proclaims that " It's all

that's left. " The Pacifica radio network of 5 stations, is anxious to

communicate to it's " listener sponsors, " that they're not going to

find " this information anywhere else. " But the notion that I won't

find " this information " anywhere else, will not bring me to ,

it will disillusion me.

Catastrophe, are bringing me news I won't find on CNN, that's a

disaster; a reality we should resist approaching, as if we were a

select, an elitist crowd. That I can't find the news on CNN, is

nearly as serious a catastrophe as the catastrophe revealed in the

film, regarding the Bush administration and its insane, it's lunatic

and brainless empire building. The film compares this lust for

power, with that seen in the Roman empire. Quite aside from the

corruption and arrogance revealed in the time of the Caesers, the

effort to compare the 1000 year reign of our ancestral, ancient

Romans, with the scatterbrain imbecilities of the Bush adminstration,

is more than I can bear.

much about media as it is about the Bush gang. Perhaps much more

about media. Taking this new perspective would re-invigorate our

debate and our strategies, give us a new and desperately needed change

of focus. Media are our major obstacles, not the Bush administration,

which would not last a single election cycle withought media support

and bias in their favor.

administration is, after all, the real threat, the real-world reality

we face. But this is misguided. Because we continue to underestimate

media, and its efforts to destroy leftist thought in contemporary

society, we're now faced with 8 years of Bush. God knows what the

near future will bring, if we continue to act as if we can ignore

media and its effecs on the political climate in this country, and

brag about the exclusivity we leftists enjoy when we scramble around

in media (mostly so-called " underground " media) looking for " our "

information.

I agree in principle, with your remarks. But, after all is said, I feel

confident that you'd agree that we'd be in better shape, had Gore or even Kerry

won in their presidential contests.

John,

 

Even if I did, I don't consider it pertanent to our present situation. I could

take all of the could have been, should have been, and would have been and it

will still make no difference about what is happening now. The sad fact is that

I would just be wasting time and energy on something that is long gone and done

with and all of the efforts and recriminations in the world will not change it.

I would also be not directing my efforts into the real and present danger. I

would be doing just what the thieves of our country would want me to do, to be

sidetracked and continue being sidetracked by historical issues, wedge issues,

partisan issues, etc.. If we, as a people, do not stop it and face our common

foe right now, it will be too late, and we will still be bickering when they

show up at the door to take us away.
