Main Stream Madness

  Current events have been managed and packaged into a twenty-four-hour "entertainment" media that, frankly, I find horrifying when it tries to pass itself off as news. It is instead so much propaganda disguised as news that it is a wonder to me how more people don't realize this and start throwing their TV's into the trash heaps where they belong. Let me take one example and demonstrate what I mean. Recently, a group of individuals that have been labeled by, what I call the Blame Stream Media (BSM), as ISIS or ISIL or IS, for short, has been all over the BSM. I won't try to confuse you with the difference and meaning of this alphabet soup the media is fond of throwing at you. And just as a side, have you noticed that the drug cartel, also known as the CDC and Big Pharma, have taken to doing the same thing? Every disease you can think of has now been given some alphanumeric designation like ALS or RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome -- give me a break....I think I have that now as my leg involuntarily wants to kick someone in their posterior regions (PR's?) every time I turn on the "news".) Anyway, ISIS was alleged to have posted a video on the web recently of them purportedly decapitating an American news journalist which went viral - a testament as to how voyeuristic our society has become - which sent our BSM into a whirlwind of frenzy and war drum pounding. 

  Don't get me wrong here. It was a horrific and barbaric thing to do to another human being. But lets stop and ask a few questions first before we jump on the band wagon. Fist of all, what about the victim in question? Did they practice some plastic surgery on him while in captivity? Because if you compare the pictures of the guy they supposedly decapitated with earlier pre-captivity photos, you will notice that it looks nothing like the same guy. Secondly, what good would it do this so called ISIS group to publish something like that on the web? Do you think they are crazy enough to purposely provoke the whole world into attacking them? You can't honestly believe that they think such a tactic would forestall or cause someone to cease to attack them? In who's world does that make any kind of sense? Instead, the BSM has more to gain from such a thing than the group accused of it Now they can justify going back into a country we've already ravaged by war, which they claim we should have never left in the first place, and possibly into one that we've been chomping at the bit to disassemble as well. Think of the ratings such an event would produce. Secondly, how can we be sure that the so called ISIS group had anything to do with the video on the web? Men wearing masks and threatening someone with a knife? This could be done anywhere by anyone with a video camera. What proof does the BSM offer that it is indeed ISIS and for that matter even a real event rather than a Hollywood style production? You say they offered no proof, or even inquiry, or honest journalistic investigation before splashing it all over the place? And immediately their feeding frenzy of war rhetoric began with all the various networks saying the same dishonesty spewing out things like, "This is a most barbaric provocation and act of war!" Yes, if a true event, it is horrible. But is it any more barbaric than say a drone strike on a "suspected" terrorist killing several people including women and children in a country we're not even officially at war with? Or say carpet bombing a whole village killing innocents as well as combatants that might be taking refuge there? I can go on and on with a list of things that we have done that seem totally horrific and barbaric to me. When anyone else does it the BSM calls it terrorism, but when we do it, they call it self defense or protecting our national interest.

  Anyway, that's just one example of the total hypocrisy that passes for news these days. There are so many others. Don't even get me started on the Ferguson, Missouri incident. Now to top all this off, I read an article the other day written by a woman who says she worked in the industry. She said she was aware that subliminal messages were being inserted routinely in both commercials and during regular TV programs. Also that the practice has spread to cell phones and computers. So how do you like your mind control? Over easy or scrambled? All I can say is welcome to our Orwellian Society. Hope you enjoy it. For  me, I think I will be mostly tuning out, at least until the storm troopers show up at my front door....hold on....gotta go...someone's knocking on my front door.
