As I watch all the news stations like CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, HLN, and all the rest I am frustrated at what I am watching. I always looked at reporters as the protectors of the freedom of speech and also protectors of the people. Politicians have always been thought of as 'liars' and that the founding fathers had a feeling that their constituents would be in danger of letting the power get to their heads so many things were put into place so that their country would not end up like the one they escaped from or left back in the days they were subjects in England. There is no King here or Queen. We are not commoners or nobles. We are people, brothers and sisters, fellow countrymen and women or whatever you want to call us. We have rights and those rights should be at the top of the list for protection because without rights, we would end up like countries like Libya, Syria, Egypt, which would not be fun. They cannot go out and protest things without the risk of getting shot or beat up. We are blessed with freedom but what is happening is not looking like a future of this same freedom we have been enjoying, but a police state with fear being promoted and categorized in levels and with colors being used to determine what the mood is for today. These fear mongers are continuously promoting fear and using it to control the people who have more power than we realize but believe these lies and the need for protection which has allowed the government to strip the rights of the people away, slowly but surely it is happening starting with the patriot act which is just the beginning but will not be the end.
The media was the protectors of our rights and freedom to say what we want but now the problem is that the media has been purchased by Corporations which in turn determine what the news will be. Think about it. Your not dumb, but the corporations would like to believe you are and thats why they manipulate the news to what they want and what they support will be the headlines. Dont you agree? You know that they will put whatever is best for their Company and for their agenda. They will support which ever politician that is on their payroll, which is so obvious today you have one supporting a Democrat or the other one supporting a Republican. What happened to unbiased and impartial reporting? What happened to going after the truth no matter what and no matter who? A classic example is the Watergate scandal with Richard Nixon who was set up in an interview with Robert Frost who got the best interview in history and did it with a president who is a part of a line of people who are all the same with the same belief and understandings which is that the president is above the law and whatever the president does is not against the law. Thats what they all believe, they believe that they know whats best for our country and our world and that they can do as they please. Just read up on the past, study history and you will see the garbage and lies. Are we so gullible to believe that the politician has turned over a new leaf and have become honest people in office. There was one who was called honest, and that was honest Abe and we all know what happened to him. He was killed because he went against the norm and against the elite, who are the ones who are in power and who control our countries. We all know who they are. I don't care about running any country or care if they do. All I care about is our rights and that they should not try to take away those rights. You can stay in power, just leave the constitution and the bill of rights alone. Get rid of the patriot act and let people have the right to speech and getting together to demonstrate and share our opinions. The world belongs to every person alive on this planet and not to 5 percent who want to do as they please because they have money which has absolutely no value whatsoever. Money is debt and the debt will never be abolished because of interest which will always incur debt. Pay off all the debt and you remove all the paper we call money and still not have enough to do it because as soon as it was printed, the country is minus more than its value and the question is to who do we owe this money too? Thats real. Thats what the media should be reporting or at least one of the things that should be, not all the crap thats on there yesterday and today and OMG how about tomorrow? It is a circus and pathetic what has and is on everyday. The problem is, is that these corporations hire saps that they know will do what they want because they are so opinionated and usually liberal or conservative, and these reporters are so predictable, which allows them to do whatever they want and the reporters think that they have a say in what is on but in fact they don't. They don't because the employers know them inside and out and know that they are democrat or republican and liberal or conservative which then allows them to basically predict what their employees will be putting on and if they don't agree with something they will make a sudden change which does not give the reporter any time to argue or disagree because it comes down at the last second.
I will leave you with this thought. The first amendment is the Freedom of the Press and it is there to protect the press and allow them to hold our power hungry politicians accountable for their actions and inactions. It was also protected because they are our, the people's protectors, protectors of our rights and free speech. They do not realize or maybe they do, that without them doing their job this dream will not last too much longer. We are in danger and unless a miracle happens, we are looking more and more like Europe did a few decades ago. Do you not think that we can give birth in this country to a dictator or mass murderer like Hitler, Mussolini, or any other dictator, or that we are so safe that we will always have the freedoms we do? Think about it. This is a place to think and all I want to do is talk about this and see what everyone thinks because things are changing and they are not changing for the better. Take care and I hope I am wrong, I really do.
