First and foremost, this article is not about politics, although it may seem that way at the beginning. It's really about us, WE the people, to see if we truly understand just what is going on. There seem to be few that do.
A couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday, Hillary Clinton was in an interview with a woman by the name of Kara Swisher. During the interview, Swisher asked Clinton what she thought of Corey Booker's comment to "kick them in the shins", referring to Republicans. Hillary corrected her and told her it was not Booker who said that, it was Eric Holder. Kara Swisher corrected herself and then Hillary said, "They all look alike anyway." Corey Booker and Eric Holder are adult black men. This interview can be found on numerous YouTube channels.
Since I do not watch any mainstream news media, I decided to investigate what was happening in that realm after such a statement was made, right before mid-term elections. After contacting several people, on both sides of the political isle, no one knew what I was talking about. Not even the most conservative of news media was airing the clip.
Think about this for just a moment. If the current POTUS had uttered that statement in an interview, do you think the news media would have been silent about it? Really? Crickets? So, my question is, who is actually running the show? This show called Truth in the USA?
President Woodrow Wilson made a statement about the growing monopoly businesses of his era. He said, "Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." Those were big conglomerate companies that could crush a small business with the stroke of a pen. Who do you think is pulling strings today? Look at the big corporations, look at Big Pharma, look at the banks. How many lobbyists do these mega structures in the business world have for the members of our government?
Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his farewell speech to the nation, warned of the military industrial complex and hoped that future leaders would look for more civilized ways of coming up with solutions, rather than war. He would still be waiting.
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy warned of secret societies and we all got to see how well that worked out for him.
Whoever has the power to sweep information under the rug and put the entire nation in the dark on certain subjects certainly has more power than what takes place inside the city limits of Washington D.C. They also have the power to put forth information that will and has succeeded, to a point, their point, to separate the masses. The best way to take over a group is to divide and conquer.
A little research into who owns the news outlets will turn up some interesting facts....and some interesting names.
So, what can we do about it? Are we no different than those small business owners from the turn of the last century, who knew they had to play by someone else's rules? Even the largest, darkest cave in the world cannot dim the light of a single match. If everyone in this country lit a match under their easy chair, turned off the news and demanded truth and no bias in journalism, for even just a few days, the powers that believe they BE, would begin to quake in their boots. The real question is, will anyone do it?
