The Liberal Press

Essential elements of the liberal American press are hype, that is to say reporting without analyzing the pronouncements of elected leaders, framing all elections as horse races, and passing off fluff as news. So lets get real. The Dow Jones hit a high of 11,722.98 on January 14, 2000. The Dow Jones was finally able to exceed that number on October 3, 2006 when it closed at 11,727.34. The stock market has been flat for the last 6 years and 10 months increasing by 0.037 %. Where was all that speculative capital? A major part of it has been in the housing market. Now that the housing market has collapsed, capital is hold up in the stock market waiting for an opening in another market. Soon some other market somewhere will be invaded, pillaged, and left a tattered ruin.

The Republicans will retain control of the House and Senate. They will lose some seats but they will stay in control because the real agenda facing the nation requires the erosion of civil rights at home while the powers-that-be extend and firm up their grip on the rest of the world. Imperialism for the world and civil rights at home are incompatible because the same men are making both decisions and they are driven by power and wealth.

But, lets suppose the Democrats do take control of one or both houses. Have you heard anything from any national Democrat leader that tells you they will end the war? Remember in 1968 the American people changed horses in midstream on the promise of ending the Vietnam War and nothing changed as the war dragged on for 6 more years? Because Bush or Rice or Rumsfeld said it does not make it the truth. If you are trying to take over the world and suppress dissent at home, you are not going to be frank about that agenda, are you?

According to Bush, only 30,000 Iraqi’s have died since the invasion. But we now know more than 600,000 Iraqis are dead and Iraq is on schedule with the 2 million Vietnamese deaths during the Vietnam War. Comparing the Iraq War to the Vietnam War will arm the American people with information on the long standing murderous policies of our government. Instead we get the sexual deviancy of Congressmen Mark Foley . The Foley story is a diversion designed to deflect the attention of the American people much like a magician dramatically moves his right hand to draw attention away from the trick hand. The liberal American press entertains and tricks and is exceedingly profitable and not much else.
