In some artificial quantification of pretending to be informed in this alleged democracy, I find myself scanning the news stations (mostly satellite radio) for information.

Only to find my soul scathed from the transmitted toxicity of deceptive diatribes of putrid political pontificators and prognostications using surreptitious speculation liquidating loose language to mold a malignant maelstrom of malice.

Taking information in from three perspectives, CNN, FOX, MSNBC like incorporating, being the three blind guys trying to describe the elephant to myself hoping to “see” what it is and what is going on.

Finding that if “facts” are reported, there is so much post spin on those “facts” anything substantial that could have been gleened, is lost in the blur.

Leaving me feeling, icky, at best.

Nauseated to the point where I would probably lose less brain cells if I were drinking.

Now, they are simply opining an agenda that is based purely on deception and manipulation of information to create an outcome that best suits their needs.

Which, if you follow news cycles, regardless the source, their sponsorship is based on the consumption of tangibles and intangibles.

For example, mattresses, what is promoted is, a better nights sleep. The intangible (there seems to be a growing list of mattress makers whose product will do everything, but make love to you and cook you breakfast).

All for that better night’s sleep. Which one could probably get if not for listening and watching talking heads catastrophizing every minute detail about an ineffectual and deceptive corrupt political system.

“We the people” ? My happy ass. An awake and aware population would not allow these shenanigans to continue.

Invisible money buying invisible products wasting the earth’s resources feeding the illusion of either safety and security or something you can not obtain simply after watching the “bad” news.

The world may end……Sleep tight.

What “new” bed, can compete with that?

I can appreciate opposing perspectives of the same scene.  However, when information that is only meant to deceive and distract from actualities, it is disturbing and icky, at best.

I guess Faux news was still getting their feet wet in 2001 (They started in 1996) when they took the sensational regurgitation of bad news and played well with others, following the script.

Not presenting any dissonant information like non existent planes at Shanksville or the Pentagon. Nor covering how the evidence was scooped up and shipped to China for “recycling”.

Where was contradictory reporting then when we really needed it?

Faux, for sure didn’t mind when the Warren Commission oops the 9 11 commission gave an unprecedented blind eye and no record of Bush and Cheyney’s handheld testimony.

Now, they want to disparage Mueller?

“I have this feeling man, ’cause you know, it’s just a handful of people who run everything, you know … that’s true, it’s provable. It’s not … I’m not a fucking conspiracy nut, it’s provable.

A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media.”

– Bill Hicks

Now, unless Faux is kissing the emperor’s arse they have nothing to report. I’ve heard them take trivial information and make a “news” guessing game out of it. Plus pushing a platform that they are not a media outlet. WTF?

Completely ignoring that 45 was the first one to suggest confiscating their precious weapons. Oh, yeah on that, is what he meant to say was……oh shit.  They’ll ignore that, kkknowing he rarely speaks a “truth”.

It just doesn’t feel like we are anywhere near where our (bi-pedal oxygen breathing, monoxide exhaling, red-blooded, skeleton supported, solar powered, carbon-based, large brained, earth inhabitant omnivores) priorities could be.

“They don’t want the voice of reason spoken, folks, ‘cause otherwise we’d be free.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t believe their fucking horseshit lies, nor the fucking propaganda machine of the mainstream media and buy their horseshit products that we don’t fucking need and become a third world consumer fucking plantation which is what we’re becoming.

Fuck them! They are liars and murderers. All governments are liars and murderers,”
