And so this is my traditional Daily Nigger formal Fourth of July article. It’s kind of a ‘fuck you’ really to the British, who went around the whole goddam world making trouble for people. Hell, they did such an awful job at colonizing that there were revolutions going on practically on every continent because of what those bastards did. And so this, ladies and gentlemen, is my ‘fuck the British’ article.

Here in America we don’t always try to outsmart people in order to get what we want. Here in America we sometimes create an industry out of stupidity in order to gain an advantage over others. You see, this is what happens when people have to throw a bunch of bums out like the British. They turn into complete and utter fighters and sworn revolutionaries forever.

Wherever Americans go in this world, you can always tell them apart from everyone else. And the reason is because they are usually fatter than the locals and they have a very loud mouth that they use quite often. Americans just absolutely have to have someone’s attention at all times. Hell, it’s gotten so bad that entire mega-media empires have sprung up and sunk their long tentacles into the government and produced a show called America. It’s the story about a piece of paper that drives everybody crazy called the Constitution. We fight for it and die for it. We live and breath and live it on our sleeves. It is our birthright, and we are always at war it seems fighting for it.

America is as biblical a story as you can get. Actually, if you think about it so what if Obama lied about being a Christian and is a Muslim after all. He seems more like an atheist to me. I don’t know if he really believes in God at all to be honest with you. Hell, he adores his mother and everybody knows that she was an atheist. It’s just that in a crude way he represents the antithesis of the American story, and yet it is the American story at the same time.

To us here at The Daily Nigger’s corporate headquarters located just up the gravel road and to the right off of the river road by the levee, we believe that it really should not matter what someone believes to be an American. In fact, the whole premise of this country was founded upon that principle. And here we have the most fundamental building block of our national identity being called into question because perhaps it goes to the very beginnings of America long before there was a government in place.

The act of breaking away from the British is the culmination of a sentiment that grew over time to become known familiarly as political correctness. In the process of building a nation on the premise of freedom one cannot simply stop and say their job is complete. Freedom is a work in process, and the arguments going on today sound eerily reminiscent of a time long ago when little pieces of paper were circulated to disseminate the news. Now it is the blogosphere that is the ‘didja hear’ town crier. The blogs lit up when Obama gave the Queen of England an i-Pod, and for a moment there I was on the fence about the matter.

I probably would have given her a framed map of the world showing all of her majesty’s former colonies. And then maybe I would have politely reminded her majesty that we still can’t really claim to have gotten over our submission to the crown. But the fact is, Obama has made it clear that he doesn’t really relate to that part of American history. It seems that to him American history began some time during the Civil War. Although his mother was not black, he nevertheless chose to be called a black man.

Frankly, none of us here give a damn what color Obama is or is not in any given circumstance. And none of us here care one iota whether he is a Christian, a Muslim, or an atheist. But what we do have a problem with Obama is over his ability to lie about loving all of America. In order to love America properly you have to both insult the British and compliment them at the same time. You have to not only tell them that you threw them out, but you have to show them that you have accomplished something far better than them. Obama, however, has chosen to emulate the British rather than lead America with something revolutionary and peculiarly American.

Suddenly we all supposed to “join the rest of the world”, i.e., Europe, or else we just don’t understand that others’ ideas in this world are better than our own. In particular, this includes the British, who have already tried socialized medicine and have dabbled in the kinds of alternative energy that we are now asked to consider legislating into action. The one and only one originally America response to all of this is hell no. We are going to do this our way, not the way everyone else does it but our way, the American way.

I tried my best to like Obama when he insulted the Queen, because it is a tradition to do so. But he did so by also returning to America and putting into action plans to turn America into a British model that has already run its course decades ago. It is as though Obama is reaching back in time before the Civil War in a mad dash to piece together for himself what it really means to be an American. In the process of doing so he is erecting the very structure which was demolished long ago and replaced by something far better.

All we can say is, God help us all if he tries to pull down American back to those days when we still had to apologize to others. What Obama does not seem to understand is that most Americans are educated enough to understand the history of their country in its entirety and can grasp its entire course. To not know what it is to be an American is probably worse than being a bad American who knows better. Maybe that’s what has us so pissed off here about Obama, which is that his ideas really aren’t anything new for those who know the truth. To truly be daring and take risks and provide leadership at the same time requires one to be completely comfortable with the past. We just don’t get that feeling from this guy.

But the bottom line is that America will keep on going despite all of this. What is going on right now is a big drama: Obama vs. The World; Can America Survive? We are traveling back into our history because he is dragging us there. If this helps him understand why he insulted the Queen, then fine. But frankly, he is so fascinated with the British right now that it makes one wonder if he really meant to insult her at all. Maybe he just didn’t know how to tell her that in so many words by giving her an i-Pod he is saying that America will trade its cutting edge technology and innovation in return for her country’s dilapidated system.

These are frustrating times because of the person who occupies the Oval Office. This is a drama like none ever before. Obama has proven that he does not understand America well enough in the way he turned his back on the Iranian protesters and scolded Israel. It shows his complete ignorance of the American way of promoting freedom, not repressing it in order to appear unbiased. On this July the 4th we should be prouder than ever to be an American, because we are standing up for what America believes in from start to finish. We have studied it and gone abroad and mingled with foreigners here. We are always trying to fit the American template into the world because it is forever changing.

America is moving forward regardless of whether Obama wants to go there or not. America will not regress backward and use old ideas. It just isn’t the way business is conducted here. We might flaunt our stupidity, but it is our collective conscience and not our collective wealth which provides a path toward the future. None of us has a crystal ball, but seeing the future isn’t the point. The point of being American is about understanding the future and communicating it within the context of the past. This is the responsibility of those who cling to the ideals of many as opposed to the ideas of a few. It is downright American to examine political leaders because they should always be told that their ideas are no better than ours, and their job is merely to set an example for everyone else. And this is not a monarchy, and it never will be as long as the truth is able to be told which right now it is. Of course there is an equal amount of garbage out there too. At least maybe on the 4th we can just take a rest from this discussion for a moment and just think about it instead.

Here is Cynthia McKinney again trying her best to sneak into Gaza. You may remember that it was McKinney who ran for president in 2008 as a Green Party candidate after she had already been defeated for reelection to the House in 2002 and 2006. McKinney’s father blamed “the Jews” for his daughter’s defeat. Now she sits on her ass in jail in Israel, which is exactly where she belongs. Of course, this isn’t her first time being busted by the Israelis for trying to sneak into Gaza. She pulled this stunt once before in December 2008, and was intercepted by the Israeli navy. And for that we give McKinney the title of this week’s Daily Nigger. It’s just a publicity stunt to get her ass into the media spotlight. This whole media spectacle bullshit is really beginning to sound rather familiar nowadays. But McKinney definitely deserves it this time around.

Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney revealed in a phone call posted online that she is in an Israeli prison with others who attempted to run a blockade to deliver supplies to Gaza.

McKinney and about 18 other activists in Israeli custody for the past three days will likely be released by Sunday, according to the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C.

Spokesman Jonathan Peled said preparations are being made to deport the activists. “It is taking slightly longer. Former congresswoman McKinney is not cooperating with the authorities” and refusing to sign a document acknowledging deportation, he said.

“It’ll take a couple more days before she is put on a plane and flown out of Israel,” Peled said.

A blog entry Thursday on a MySpace page for McKinney said the passengers refused to admit in writing to violating the blockade and trespassing Israeli territorial waters.

The Greek-registered Arion with 21 passengers aboard was in the Mediterranean Sea about 23 miles off the Gaza coast when it was intercepted Tuesday. Israel has blockaded entry to Gaza, which is governed by the organization Hamas, for two years.

The Free Gaza Movement, which organized the voyage, contends the ship was carrying humanitarian aid.

The organization, which has made more than a half dozen sailings to deliver aid to Gaza since August 2008, had renamed the ship Spirit of Humanity and refers to it by that name.

The Israelis rerouted the ship to the port of Ashdod after the seizure. Two of the passengers who signed the waivers have been released from custody and deported, Peled said.

New York journalist Don DeBar said McKinney called him early Thursday. DeBar covered McKinney’s campaign last year as the Green Party presidential candidate and they stayed in touch.

“She sounded okay,” DeBar said.

McKinney said in the online interview (listen to the interview here here ) that she was in a prison cell block with women from different countries detained for arriving in Gaza.

“We have not committed any crime, we have been detained,” McKinney said. We want the people of the world to see how we have been treated just because we wanted to deliver humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza.”

McKinney called on President Barack Obama to press Israel to assist the Palestinian people.

Among the activists on the ship were McKinney, who twice represented Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives; and Mairead Maguire, the 1977 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for co-founding a group that worked for peace in Northern Ireland.

In a statement, Irish Foreign Minister Micheál Martin called for the immediate release of Maguire and another Irish citizen also being detained.

McKinney’s father said he spoke briefly with her on Thursday and that she told him she was all right.

“We didn’t have a conversation. She just said she was all right, and that was about it,” Billy McKinney of Atlanta said.

The former Georgia legislator and political figure admitted he was worried despite his daughter’s assurances.

“I’m always worried about her,” he said. “I’m a father. I’m a parent. I’m always worried.”

The great media plantation lives on. This time it’s BET, which hosted this incredibly exploitative act featuring underage girls being serenaded by rappers to a song containing, ahem, sexually-explicit lyrics (to say the least). It was during their memorial to another great pedophile, Michael Jackson. The bottom line is that the media has apparently crossed over from simple political correctness to downright exploitation of the nth degree. It’s the same old story of blacks exploiting one another.

Interspersed between the continuing Michael Jackson saga and the real life story of yet someone else who survived a plunge from an aircraft flying over the Amazon, CNN buries this story about seven more banks that failed just in one day, i.e., today, which is the same day that Obama comes out saying that everything is going to be just fine. Don’t worry! Unemployment is though the roof, California is issuing IOUs, the stock market is in the shitter, and seven banks failed in one day. And did we mention to have a nice 4th, even though gas prices have risen to near three bucks again? Oh yeah, have a nice 4th.

Seven banks were shut down by authorities Thursday, pushing the tally of failed banks for 2009 to 52, more than doubling the failures in 2008.

Six regional banks in Illinois and one in Texas closed their doors, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Twelve banks in Illinois have failed this year. Thursday’s failure in Texas was the first for the state in 2009.

Last year, 25 banks failed in the United States.

Local banks have been hard hit as plummeting home values devalued mortgage-backed assets and rising unemployment rates caused an increasing number of consumers to default on their loans.

Larger financial institutions have been helped with government bailouts, but smaller regional banks continue to struggle.

FDIC fund: The total cost of Thursday’s bank failures to the FDIC is $314.3 million, bringing the FDIC fund’s total cost for failed banks to $12.3 billion this year. That compares with $17.6 billion in all of 2008.

The FDIC, which is funded primarily by fees paid by banks, insures individual deposits up to $250,000. The amount was increased from $100,000 late last year in response to concerns about the stability of the nation’s banks.

First bank topples: State regulators shuttered John Warner Bank, based in Clinton, Ill., and named the FDIC the receiver. The State Bank of Lincoln, based in Lincoln, Ill., will assume all of the deposits of the failed bank.

As of April 30, the failed bank had total assets of $70 million and total deposits of approximately $64 million.

The three offices of John Warner will reopen on Friday as branches of State Bank of Lincoln. Customers of the shuttered bank will automatically become depositors of State Bank of Lincoln.

Second bank falls: Later Thursday, state regulators closed First State Bank of Winchester, based in Winchester, Ill., and named the FDIC the receiver. Federal regulators entered into a purchase and assumption agreement for The First National Bank of Beardstown, based in Beardstown, Ill., to assume all of the assets and deposits of the failed bank.

As of April 30, The First State Bank of Winchester had total assets of $36 million and total deposits of approximately $34 million.

The two offices of the failed bank will reopen Monday as branches of The First National Bank of Beardstown. Customers of the failed bank will automatically be transferred over to the new bank.

Over the weekend, customers of the failed bank can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual.

Third bank falls: Rock River Bank, based in Oregon, Ill., was shuttered by state regulators. The FDIC was named the receiver and it entered into an agreement with the The Harvard State Bank, of Harvard, Ill., to assume all of the deposits of the failed bank and almost all of the assets.

As of April 30, Rock River Bank had total assets of $77 million and total deposits of approximately $75.8 million. The Harvard State Bank agreed to purchase $72.9 million in assets and the FDIC will retain the rest to dispose of later.

The four offices of the failed bank will reopen Monday as branches of The Harvard State Bank and depositors will automatically be transferred.

Fourth bank goes down: Elizabeth State Bank, based in Elizabeth, Ill., was closed down by state regulators and the FDIC was named the receiver. Galena State Bank and Trust, based in Galena, Ill., entered into a purchase and assumption agreement to take over all of the deposits of the failed bank.

As of April 30, The Elizabeth State Bank had total assets of $55.5 million and total deposits of approximately $50.4 million. Galena State Bank and Trust purchased $52.3 million of assets and the FDIC will retain the rest to dispose of later.

The two offices of failed bank will reopen on Monday as branches of Galena State Bank and Trust. Customers will automatically be transferred over to the new bank.

Number five: The First National Bank of Danville, headquartered in Danville, Ill., was shuttered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC was named the receiver. First Financial Bank, N.A., based in Terre Haute, Ind., entered into a purchase and assumption agreement to take over all of the deposits of the failed bank.

As of April 30, the failed bank had total assets of $166 million and total deposits of approximately $147 million. First Financial Bank, N.A. agreed to purchase $148 million of assets, leaving the remainder for the FDIC to dispose of later.

The seven offices of failed bank will reopen on Monday as branches of First Financial Bank, N.A. and depositors will automatically be transferred over to the new bank.

Number 6: State regulators shut down the Millennium State Bank of Texas, based in Dallas, Texas, Thursday and named the FDIC the receiver. The FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with an Irving, Texas bank, called the State Bank of Texas.

As of June 30, Millennium State Bank of Texas had total assets of approximately $118 million and total deposits of $115 million. State Bank of Texas will take over all of the deposits and “essentially all of the failed banks assets,” according to the release.

The one office of Millennium State Bank of Texas will be open Monday as a branch of State Bank of Texas. Depositors of the failed bank will automatically be transferred over to the new bank.

The biggest to fall: State regulators shut down Founders Bank, based in Worth, Ill., and named the FDIC the receiver. The PrivateBank and Trust Company, head-quartered in Chicago, Ill., entered into a purchase and assumption agreement to take over the assets of the failed bank.

As of April 30, Founders Bank had total assets of $962.5 million and total deposits of $848.9 million. The PrivateBank and Trust Company purchased all of the deposits of the failed bank and $888.4 million worth of assets, leaving the rest for the FDIC to dispose of later.

The eleven offices of the failed bank will reopen on Monday as branches of The PrivateBank and Trust Company. Customers will automatically be transferred over to the new bank.

I’ve seen a lot of videos and read a lot of shit about “the new world order”, and nobody seems to be able to agree about what it is and what it means to all of us. The whole notion leaves more questions in my mind than what I started out with, so I just don’t even go there. It’s like trying to explain black holes. Who the hell really knows what a black hole is because nobody has ever been to one.

It is precisely as though somebody dreamed up this shit about a new world order, and then the idea took hold and now it’s all about global this and global that. Global wars, global warming, global elite, global media, and just about global anything you can think of except for maybe baby food, because I think the Chinese got their butts kicked out of exporting that stuff.

I am really kind of confused about this because I obviously did not get the proverbial memo on the whole birth certificate, passport, nationality thing. I didn’t know that a President of the United States really did not have to provide proof of his live birth commonly referred to as a birth certificate. Who knows, maybe aliens have indeed come to Earth and are now running this place. All of us old fashioned folks out here holding onto traditional values of country, honor, and duty just don’t get it that now it’s all about flying around the globe and dabbling in stuff ranging from copy shops, 7-11’s, and anything with weird hours when these people can cater to the really strange class out there of people living on the edge working two and three jobs and who keep odd hours.

It is as though people themselves feel that they must be occupied and aware during all the daylight time zones of the world as though someone might miss out on the end of the world that all these people seem to be preaching about. In order to buy into the whole global warming thing, for example, you can’t stop there. You have to be able to connect every tiny, little thing we do to something that is going on halfway around the world. It is as though having developed all this instantaneous communication bullshit we somehow feel obligated to fill it full of constant crises twenty-four seven, three sixty five.

Man oh man, folks, one thing is for damn sure, which is that having lived through this particular epoch in the devolution of man I can finally say that dying doesn’t bother me one bit. What’s the name of that doctor who was there with Michael Jackson when he died? Just kidding. Even for a real superstar this world is a tough place to negotiate. Ideas pop up out of nowhere that suddenly make you either conform to them or else get kicked out like a package on the FedEx night sort at the hub. It is almost as though the globalists have boiled the world down to two distinct groups, i.e., conservatives and liberals, and so if you don’t fit those two groups then good luck buddy. You’re on your own.

You have to fit in to this global model that is wildly in play now so that you can survive, right? Maybe not though. Maybe the whole point of not fitting into the globalists point of view hook line and sinker is in order to preserve some sense of sanity and personal ease of thought as a result of having a firm identification. Who we are as distinct nationalities speaks volumes about us, perhaps more than ones religious identification. America has the corner on national identification, hands down no questions asked. Just mention the word Obama to any mixed crowd and you will get a far ranging spectrum of opinion. But the bottom line is that America does command the attention of the world because of what it is as a whole. We are somehow striving to fit that model into the world, when really there is but one America. We cannot be all things to all people.

America has found out that it cannot create the perfect financial system, and that America may have the best medical care but it comes with the highest price. America is beset by anomalies and dichotomies, which in its collective presence is peculiarly American. It is a strange land that really hasn’t changed much since its inception. Americans are still arguing and fighting over the same issues as were argued and fought over at the time of the Revolutionary War. Freedom, liberty, intrusion of government, constitutionalism, and all the rest. America is absorbed in itself at the present time, while at the same time projecting its self-absorption onto the world.

America is somehow trying to project the image of it looking inward while doing so projected outward at the same time. In other words, it is a giant show that is going on which depicts Americans deep in thought trying feverishly to come up with a solution to the “global” financial crises that they created. Hmm, is the picture starting to get clearer. The new religion in the world is America, and when all else fails then by golly you have to roll out the carpet because the tent revival has come to town. We’ve got the preacher president and his loony sidekick white guy, old man Joe. Then we’ve got the philanderer and his sidekick wife, whose job it is to voice America’s values to the rest of the world. And of course we have all the trade unions and unemployed people and everyone who has a bone to pick with their hand out over the fact that their great great great great grandfather used to pick cotton umpteen years ago down in podunk Mississippi. If it weren’t so bad then I swear to God it would be funny, but this kind of shit makes me wonder if people are really sane after all.

Hell, half the damn world is about ready to launch nuclear missiles at one another, and here we are figuring out ways to make Obama feel good during the big letdown phase of the one and only voyage of the great dirigible “Love Me Please”. As it glides away into the darkness of the horizon, one can only wonder if this thing can even withstand anything mother nature throws its way. So far, it has just been people around the world seizing upon America and wringing its hands in disgust. What happens when the ship itself begins to toss and turn and flip upside down? What then? Who is going to come to America’s rescue this time? Once people finally wake up and start paying attention, which might be never, there are really no guarantees that anything America does from this time forward is guaranteed to be successful. America has crapped all over the world in such unspeakable ways from the wars to all this government spending and borrowing and blah, blah, blah, that it’s surprising to me that foreigners even want to talk to me. I am always so grateful when it does infrequently occur.

Well, I guess that makes me a globalist after all, but I have to respect the fact that I do live in a weird place and writing about it right now is not particularly fun. But this is an interesting time in which to live, and if the rest of the world gets it or not then I really don’t care.

Happy 4th of July! Let’s hope this thing keeps on going just a little bit longer, at least until football season and people settle down and stop acting like a bunch goddam niggas like me out here bellyaching about all this shit, and I can’t do a goddam thing about it because the massa is all over the world all day long. You never know when he might show up, and that’s why I keep the Head Nigga in Charge around so as to calm everyone down and keep us singing in the fields, while the game goes on and on and on.

CNBC hauls out this guy, who basically says what all the rest of us have been jumping up and down screaming at the top of our lungs about for months now. That is, this government does not know what it is doing and they are dangerously putting America at risk by increasing the debt to staggering levels, which in itself is creating economic chaos. Of course, you must bear in mind however, that General Electric would never dare have allowed anyone like this fellow on the air until now, since public sentiment toward Obama is in the toilet. It’s all about dollars and cents, folks. The media doesn’t care how much the country is damaged as long as they get theirs. Except this time, they clearly outdid themselves.

Can you believe this shit is still going on. It is an out and out onslaught against Iranians by the government (sound familiar?). Of course, Obama is silent except in his defense of the deposed communist leader of Honduras. Wow. Now that’s what I call leadership.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hahahahahahaha………………. Here is the Huffington Post, yes, the HUFFINGTON POST which is reporting to us (or whoever reads them) that unemployment has risen to its highest level in 26 years. Hmmmm, another inconvenient truth………………. Look, I’m not saying that innocent people deserve to suffer, but frankly speaking it would only be fitting that everyone who drank the Obama Kool-Aid should be the ones standing in the unemployment lines. After all, these people did say that Obama was going to pay for everything. Yep, that’s right. Here is proof below. See it for yourself. And then while you are watching this and reading this from the Huffington Post, just bear in mind that moveon.org isn’t even bothering to mention the scary unemployment numbers.

The Huffington Post
July 2, 2009

The U.S. economy lost 467,000 jobs in June as the national unemployment rate rose to 9.5 percent, the government announced on Thursday morning. While that’s only one-tenth of a percentage point from May, the current rate is the highest rate in 26 years.

Heidi Shierholz, an economist with the Economic Policy Institute, said that the loss of 6.5 million jobs since the start of the recession combined with the growth of the workforce means that the gains of the previous business cycle have been completely blown away.

This is the only recession since the Great Depression to wipe out all jobs growth from the previous business cycle, a devastating benchmark for the workers of this country and a testament to both the enormity of the current crisis and to the extreme weakness of jobs growth from 2000-2007,” said Shierholz in a statement.

The ranks of the long-term unemployed — people out of work for 27 weeks or more — grew by 433,000 in June to a total of 4.4 million. Three in 10 of the unemployed are now long-term unemployed. The collapse of the housing industry contributes to their plight.

We know right now because of the housing crisis that people can’t move to find another job,” Shierholz said. “People that in previous recessions may have been able to relocate to find another job can’t now.”

The Huffington Post has been profiling people who’ve been out of work for long periods of time. Marvin Bohn of Ohio hasn’t worked for a year and has been paying for his meds out-of-pocket. Steve Dittmann of Kansas said of the unemployed life, “I feel like I’m on the other side of a Plexiglass wall looking in.”

A broader measure of labor under-utilization that accounts for people who’ve stopped looking for work hit 16.5% in June, a 0.1 percentage point increase.

“In June, there were large decreases in manufacturing, construction, and professional and business services,” said Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Keith Hall in a statement. “Together, these three sectors have accounted for nearly three-quarters of the jobs lost since the recession began.

Many economists have predicted that even when the recession is technically over with the economy beginning to expand, there will be a “jobless recovery” as unemployment hovers in the double-digits.

Feast your eyes as Reid and Thomas see clear through Obama’s made-for-media scripting . . . . Campaign bumper stickers, $1. Bamboozling and hoodwinking, priceless. For everything else, there’s Master Card.

Alas, the mainstream media beings ever so gingerly to awaken from its slumber from having drunk the Kool-Aid.

Many thanks to McNorman for posting this video first.


The exciting monotony of scripted nothingness

Breaker, breaker. Can I get a 10-4 good buddy. We got us a real live liberal black man hosting Bill O’Reilly. Hmm, now we’re really into uncharted waters. The media has pulled a fast one. They threw us a curve ball right smack dab in the middle of everyone’s love fest with Glenn Beck. The masters of the Fox universe decided to remove the spotlight from Sean Hannity by putting the kibosh on the O’Reilly Factor. This immediately turned off what lingering audience was hanging on for dear life to O’Reilly’s show, which by and large was simply stomached as a stepping stone to get to Hannity, who has been feeling a little heat after badgering the firefighters for a statement on Sotomayor. It has been circulating on the Internet recently that Sotomayor sent someone to jail for years who was innocent, yet Fox dropped the ball on the story and sicked Hannity on the firefighters instead. It was a big mistake.

But the number one thing to keep in mind about the media is that they always need to be in crises mode in order to keep you coming back for more. So, when the same old conservative paradigm that failed in the past is hauled out by your two main evening anchors, and when Limbaugh’s audience is already satisfied with his midday show and doesn’t need any more daily affirmation, then they don’t need to deal with failed conservatism in the evening. So what do they do? They go lib at night. They bring Juan Williams out from behind the consultant’s table and sit him in the anchor chair. They finally got their head nigga in charge at Fox, and Williams is more than glad to oblige by playing the role of the sensible negro who minds his massa.

The purpose of the whole media circus is to get you hooked. There is no such thing as stardom in the news business these days. Everyone is expendable and anyone is bankable when the bottom line is in peril. Saving the audience is more important than telling the truth. Remember that and you’ll live a happier life if and when you ever watch that gutless parade of losers we call the mainstream media. Right now people are still protesting on the streets of Tehran and are still getting the shit beaten out of them, yet the media packed the fuck up and moved to where? To fucking Neverland for God’s sakes. And what is the reason for this shit happening? It’s because the President of the United States is not being a leader. He’s really good at printing lots of money, but that’s about it. The rest of the world can just go to hell for all he’s concerned. He has an agenda to implement come hell or high water. It’s the height of arrogance.

And all this is happening while the media presents race based “news”, which basically amounts to nothing more than politically correct jargon festivals, where people engage in verbal battles in order to be able to point out that someone is not behaving according to some predetermined set of mores that are not written down anywhere in any law books. And they are excoriated for doing so and are attacked and vilified, yet mysteriously there are no lawsuits, only apologies. Because speaking ones mind is not a crime in America, and God help us all if it ever becomes a crime to do so.

But it might happen. The way things are going now where the news is just a bunch of commercial blurbs about the great diversity of America, we just might come to a point when like in Fight Club one day you just wake up and stop liking man boobs. And to be perfectly honest with you, there are a lot of those in the media right now. I’m just wondering how long it’s going to take for people to get sick of all this.
