Keep the public in the dark and feed them manure
  • It’s time to get a fire started, and soon.
  • Next month Chairman Kevin Martin of the Federal Communications Commission plans to let giant corporations gain even more control over what we read, hear, and watch on TV.
  • Most US newspapers, TV, and radio stations are owned by six mega-businesses that serve-up massive helpings of spin, which the pubic innocently swallows.
  • The Big Six also filters the news.
  • Forty years ago, 50,000 demonstrators crowded around the Lincoln Memorial in DC to protest the Vietnam War, and the event made Page One of every newspaper in America.
  • On October 27, 2007, 100,000 people in a dozen major US cities protested the Iraq War.
  • Didn’t hear about that one? It’s because the Big Guys decided they didn’t want to know it.
  • It’s like growing mushrooms: keep the public in the dark and feed them manure.

Keep the public in the dark and feed them manure

"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bulls**t"

The Vietnam War was so unpopular with everyday America mainly because of the draft. 58,000+ Americans died. The Iraq War utilizes an all-volunteer miltary. Less than 4000 Americans have died.

Since the Vietnam War, people have protested against everything but farting in elevators. Protests don't have the effect they once did - the pro-illegal alien marches last year had the opposite effect of what the marchers wanted. Change is made in the voting booth, not on the mall in D.C. The 1960s ended long ago.

Yeah look how well that voting booth thing turns out...not. Change is made both ways,by Nancy bravely (and I stand with you , shoulder to shoulder ;-)) protesting in that elevator and passing (pun intended) a law that hopefully will be enforced.

I do hear a lot of protest of the Iraq war. It seems everybody is against it .  And then,....Rush, and his followers,  and there are mlllions of them,  try to make you look  unpatriotic.   I just hope the people vote the truth in the next  election.
