What Wall?

May 6, 2014

So, which is it?

Either America is under control of a select number of regressive oligarchs, who control our all of lives and there's very little that we CAN do about it. Or else, most of the rest of the country, who could vote them out of power and replace them with leaders who WOULD work for the benefit of all, they consciously defer to the oligarchs instead.

Is this vast majority too uninformed, too frightened or too uninterested to understand what's at stake? Would they care if they understood, or is being "right" the most important thing, even if the things in which they believe are not true at all?

Perhaps it's a conscious choice to defer to the inequality, the failure of democracy, the violence and utterly willful ignorance and to consider them as kinds of twisted virtues? What benefit does it give to everyone in a nation with hegemonic power, both internally and externally, when only that very few at the top reap any kind of reward?

That would mean that we're now a nation of the many, by the many, but for only the few, would it not?

When you destroy the lives of others, who are not exactly like yourselves, who does that help, yourselves or your masters who are keeping you under a yoke?

Fox News Links Missing Malaysia Jet To Benghazi Attack, Suggests Obama To Blame For It All

Not the Onion

Hosts on Fox News‘ “Fox & Friends” Sunday held a conversation for several minutes using a new and already discredited story about Al Qaeda terrorists, a recently-released White House email on the timeline of the Benghazi terror attacks, and somehow managed to link it all to the missing Malaysian flight MH370 — while blaming President Barack Obama for all the events.

Were an outsider or perhaps an alien watching from another planet to see this spectacular act of theater, they would likely conclude Barack Obama to be a bumbling, incompetent, uncaring fool.

“The president, you know, wanted to make sure that he could fit his narrative: GM is alive, Osama bin Laden dead, al Qaeda is on its heels,” “Fox & Friends” host Anna Kooiman told her colleagues. “And we have some new information out today that 11 terrorists with links to al Qaeda have been reportedly arrested in Malaysia in connection with the disappearance with that missing airliner with 239 people onboard.”

The Raw Story was quick to report that on Saturday, the Daily Mirror had reported that 11 terrorists with links to al Qaeda were being questioned about Flight 370. But by Sunday morning, Malaysian police were reportedly calling the allegations “rubbish.”
