"Oh Shit! ... GMO Food Sterilizes People ... And It's Really A Form of Population Control?"
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."
Alexander King, Bertrand Schneider - founder Club of Rome - The First Global Revolution, pp.104-105
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

IS THIS LITTLE GUY A PERSON?
The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."
Lord Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science On Society (Routledge Press: New York, 1951).
"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"

1. Troops Out Of Iraq Immediately. Like By Monday. 2. Money Owed To Haliburton and War Contractors Be Given Directly To The Iraqi People 3. Complete Electoral Reform 4. No Corporate Conglomerate Will Be Allowed To Control More Than 5% Of News Market 5. Federal Reserve Abolished 6. For-Profit Prison Industry Abolished
*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

Excellent point. And you'll never see a Jew feel the need to apologize and denounce Feith the way Blacks denounce whoever the media is spotlighting this week.
I would never apologize for Pacman or any other black person. Of course, I take it harder when I see a black man messing up, just like I take it harder when I see black people in Africa suffering. So do you. That's why you post on it. You feel the need to defend Pacman, but why aren't you defending Rosie O'Donnell?
And there are many Jews who, in private, will admit that Feith is part of a scary Right Wing Jewish movement. I had a Jewish friend tell me that he though Feith, Perle, etc. were the "biggest sellouts ever."

Great topic...
OK lets analyze the multiple aspects of such stories. I honestly do not think this is a black or white issue. I think these stories are easy for some but to complex for many black and white. I see the polls all the time. When you drill to the non-voters in this country it's scary what the care about. Here's the total number of votes in the last election for the president...122,293,547
The total number of Idol votes each week is about 40 million Maslows theory takes over. Physiological &
Safety are most important Self-actualization is at the top but realized last. People don't think they have the time or the ability to affect change. They feel as though their country has been hi-jacked by special interest group's of all kinds. Unless, I am a member of one of those groups my concerns will not be heard. I have more input over the outcome of American Idol show than I do my own President. Example, the last mid-term elections. Americans basically voted for us to get the hell out of Iraq... and what did Bushy do? Exactly. How do we mobilize & energize Americans to take their country back? Or is that just a pipe dream? Is it too late?

Defend PacMan Jones?
Nah man. That’s the part you don’t seem to get.
Pointing out the pattern of media crucifixion of black men is not defending any man in particular. Personally, I think Pac Man was involved in a crime and should be prosecuted. Just like any other citizen involved in a crime.
However, America needs to get it’s priorities together.
837 stories about T.O. on ESPN and 2 stories about Douglas Feith on CounterPunch aint no accident. It’s an agenda.
People are encouraged to “hate” Kobe and to remain ignorant of Paul Wolfowitz.
Parading black men in front of TV Cameras and then bombarding us with speculation about their misdeeds is 1) a tactic used to distract attention away from far more serious crimes 2) serves to exaggerate the perception of crime committed by black men and 3) sets the stage for future Israeli style “collective punishment” of black men.
What is really disconcerting is how EASY it is to get other blacks to throw gasoline on the fire of these lynchings.
If Kobe were Italian they would rename Rome in his honor.
If 50 Cent were a white rocker he would be "The Bad Boy Rocker From Queens".

Very true.
I refer you to the words of one of America's leading intellectuals, Noam Chomsky:
"All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume. "
The propaganda system is orchestrating many things, including the organized effort to demonize Hip Hop.
Hip Hop competes with the corporate propaganda system. Too many ideas can be exchanged. It's the African Drum. Our cultural Morse code.
Talk of "banning Hip Hop" is not the topic of the week on 60 Minutes, Oprah, Countless radio shows, Washington Post editorials and NYC Boycotts ALL IN THE SAME WEEK - by accident.
I am profoundly disappointed in the young black educated class for failing to see through the media charade for what it is.
If the oppressor doesn't want you to have it, it must be good for you.

Fair enough. We're in agreement.
