Thread: Transitions: The Revolution will not be televised!

Transitions

A famous line from the 1960's was "The Revolution will not be televised!" It appears that this ancient bit of folk wisdom was wrong. It was and is being televised each and every day; the problem is that "the Revolution" is not coming from the people but from the government that seeks to own us all.

For the last seven days I've been out-of-touch, no news of any kind, except for what one overhears in airports, on trains or in the occasional cab. The world didn't skip a beat, but when I returned and tried to listen to the sounds and sights of what it has become-I was amazed.

The transition is nearly complete and there are still six weeks until the public inauguration. The transition I'm referring to is the one that uses the news cycles to determine the informal-state of the world each minute of every day, because that's the only non- fact that really counts. Karl Rove and James Baker have been very busy creating a whole new masterpiece that despite all the massive and continuing crashes, in all the aspects of our lives, are being simply accepted as facts.

Think for a moment about how many times Obama now appears on the tube each and every day Â* in his continuance of the campaign Â* apparently there were three separate occasions just yesterday. Why is this chilling? Because he is creating policies, on paper, as if they are real: As if Cheney-Bush is already in the past. They are not, but they are doing their part.

Obama designs a paper policy without actualities, then the Cheney- Bush administration reacts on paper to those policies; confirming for the slower among us that the Bush administration is now history. The result is that the public begins to think of Mr. Obama as the president, with the awesome powers that Bush has added, which has turned that office into the dictatorship that we've been living with since Congress gave him their powers: Then withdrew from their own responsibilities for oversight, that enabled both of the illegal and unilateral invasions that were launched in the Middle-East-in our names.

This is a brilliant stroke of genius, perhaps Rove's finest effort yet to close the door on all resistance and win the revolution that will shut down this country without a fight. But he had a lot of help from both parties. One for instance, is the troubling 'basic qualification' for the presidency that seemingly will not go away. Apparently neither party vetted Barack Obama's qualifications before he was selected: which is too unlikely to be believed.

What is known is that Obama was selected-what remains uncertain is whether or not there will be a constitutional crisis when the Supreme Court fails to be able to do anything about the fact that Obama is not a natural-born American citizen. Practicality dictates, that at this point nothing can be done except to hold another election, which no one believes is possible: But if he is sworn in, and is unqualified, then everything he says or does is illegal from day one. This is part of the need to have the public believe that Obama is already the president-and in six more weeks that will be the literal case-before he is actually sworn in. Of course if this does not work and there is a real public backlash then most likely there will be race-riots and Martial Law to quell them. Either way The Revolution will succeed and we shall no longer be a nation.

Some will dismiss this out-of-hand as just another waste of time: However those are the same people that also missed the three-day occupation and the war that was waged upon Miami, during the Free Trade for the America's Agreement (FTAA) talks that were held there just over five years ago today. They missed it because the entire nation was focused on the long-delayed trial of Michael Jackson that was being held on the opposite coast, and there was somehow no time left from the sexual-adventures of Michael, to cover something a meaningful as what was happening to the seniors and protestors in Miami. Government however had diverted many millions for weapons, to arm the Miami PD in preparation for the riots which they started, in Miami, Florida. (1)

This slight by television-news had already proven the theories that had been created by Rove; that the public's attentions were not sufficient to threaten anything that their new fascism decided to throw at the public. This was already in place and successfully completed under Clinton with the cover-up of the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew that was the precursor for Katrina.

"I was called up to active duty after hurricane Andrew went through South Dade County. I spent nine weeks down there. Now I will certify for the benefit of our audience here that the death figures that were officially published are totally inaccurate. According to the information which I received from my own sources within the National Guard, the figure I was quoted when I was down there was 5,280-something. And they were quietly disposed of in incinerators that were hurriedly put together by both the National Guard and FEMA...

As the Chief Petty Officer stated, "5,280-something" bodies were confiscated by the United States National Guard. In addition to this, the Coast Guard independently confiscated "1,500 bodies" from the lakes and surrounding waters. Neither one of these figures embraces the number of dead bodies confiscated by other branches of federal and state government directly involved in the body pick-up operation. This leaves the number of dead confiscated by various US authorities in South Dade still unknown." (2)

More recently there were the major fires throughout the west, some of them arson that have destroyed such massive amounts of property and played havoc with human life: Or the most recent hurricane in Texas that obliterated Galveston and damaged Houston that held for a few days and then disappeared without a trace. How was this possible? It was conceived a very long time ago along with the advent of television; and several writers warned us about the dangers, among them George Orwell in his novel "1984." By the early 1970s there was an award winning film called 'NETWORK' that dared to tell us all the truth, but it was only "a movie" and was soon forgotten. Here is some of what that film unearthed- the figures were taken from that day and time, but they are far worse today than they were then:

"So a rich little man with white hair died today, what has that got to do with the price of rice and why is that "woe to us"! Because you people and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than 3% of you people read books: Because less than 15% of you read newspapers. Because the only 'truth' you know is what you get over this tube! Right now there is an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube!

This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation! This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most awesome goddamned force in the whole godless world-and woe to us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people! And that is why 'woe is us' that Edward George Ruddy died today. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA, the Communications Corporation of America, there's a new chairman of the board: A man called Frank Hackett sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome propaganda force in the whole godless world-who knows what shit will be peddled for 'truth' on this network!

So you listen to me: television is not the truth-Television's a damned amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, side-show freaks, lion-tamers and football players. We're in the boredom killing business!

So if you want the truth go to god, go to your guru's go to yourselves-because that's the only place you're ever going to find any real truth. Man you're never going to get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to here. We lie like hell- we'll tell you that Kojack always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house. ~ We'll tell you any shit that you want to hear. We deal in illusions man, none of it is true! But you people sit there day after day and night after night; all ages, colors, creeds-we're all you know! You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal! You do whatever the tube tells you; you dress like the tube' you eat like the tube; you raise your children like the tube-you even think like the tube-this is mass madness you maniacs! In god's name you people are the real thing-we are the illusion!

So turn off your television sets, turn them off now and leave them off, turn them off right in the middle of this sentence ~ " (3)

Thirty five years after that script was written all of that and more has come true. Clinton passed his Tele-Communications Act which was far more dangerous than a single corporation owning a share of the global market: With the help of congress he successfully blocked alternative media of any real size from being able to reach any audience, until the internet arrived in force. But the net was there from the beginning of Cheney-Bush and so far has not reversed any of the tyranny that we have all suffered with from the day that he stole his first election.

So we're still there in the "mass-madness" so clearly described by Howard Beale in NETWORK: no wonder that they were able to create this blank-slate that is Obama, who is about to become the total-fiction that became flesh, to end the Revolution with a victory for the bad guys-and they shall have done every bit of this right in front of the world-on television, and in full color!

By the time it comes to this, the owners shall have convinced enough members of the herd that this illusion is reality and that it is we who are the flawed illusions in their grand scheme of greed and international conquest. After all, we have let them steal the entire treasury without so much as a whimper-and without even a nod to the public that "must pay" TRILLIONS for all these bailouts, while we ourselves are being fired, starved, extorted, and lied-to at every possible turn. 'Transitions' are coming, just in time to finalize their victory over the Republic that they have fought over for so long. Just six more weeks until they have it all!

Network had an answer for those of you that want one Â* but it's not "the answer" it's only what must happen before we can even begin to ask (4)

Excellent post, and it tears at the emotions.

Thanks for sharing it.

I think we have a "Culture War" going back centuries. We thought we would have a say---but Greater Powers were fighting it out above our heads.
