Real Democracy Or Manufactured Consent?
posted June 15, 2008

Late last month during a meeting of the Tri-Lateral Commission, the topic of discussion was Dr. Ron Paul. While the presidential election wasn’t on the official agenda, several members of the commission voiced concerns over the message of liberty being delivered by Dr. Paul and the fact that so many young people were becoming political active. They agreed that Dr. Paul should stop spreading this message and resign his candidacy immediately - Thomas Foley was entrusted to handle the “Paul situation.” One can only speculate on how he accomplished this feat because (as some of you may know) Dr. Paul did indeed drop out earlier this week.

The biggest questions I have are for the voters here in America - the common men and women who refused to take any initiative and research the candidates indepth. Many either voted for the mainstream media’s choice or even worse sat on the sidelines and didn’t vote at all. While Carl Cameron and FoxNews were framing and filtering the candidates for us, did anyone bother to check under the hood or kick the tires before blindly following the herd towards Huck, Mitt, Hill or Obama? If he were alive today, Edward Bernays would pin a medal on Rupert Murdoch, who managed to focus your attention away from McCain’s “Bomb Iran” ditty and away from his burka jokes. They convinced you that McCain’s plan for “50 years of war, if necessary” would be peachy and Huck’s relationship to Dick Haas (head of the CFR) was less important than that of his other buddy Chuck (Norris) and Jesus. They conned you into believing that Obama’s brand of Socialism was somehow more palatable than his counterpart, The Rose of Mena (Arkansas). Most haven’t read Brzezinski’s “Grand Chess Board”, nor do they realize how tight he and Obama are (nor what he represents). His book (written in 1997) laid out plans to invade seven nations…we’ve been to two of them already and Iran is next up on his list.

Did you ever notice how Frank Luntz kept moving from state to state and Chuck “The Undecided Voter” went across the country with him – this from the network that wouldn’t even report news of public enemy number one (Bin Laden) being murdered, even after Benazir Bhutto went on BBC and Al-Jazeera and named his murderer in November 2007. FoxNews went out of their way to distort Dr. Paul’s message and even purposely left him out of a crucial late season debate. But the informed people in Chattanooga knew about Ron Paul, he won the republican poll here & virtually everywhere else informed Americans congregated…the official Chattanoogan poll numbers were as follows:

For President, of the leading Republican candidates, do you favor?
Rudy Giuliani - 165 votes - 6.82%
Mike Huckabee - 506 votes - 20.92%
John McCain - 671 votes - 27.74%
Ron Paul - 716 votes - 29.6%
Mitt Romney - 361 votes - 14.92%
Total votes: 2,419

But the fact still remains that most Americans are totally uninformed (or misinformed) on the economy, our (erosion of) rights, the war, etc… - and the blame lies with both the mainstream media and the people. If nothing else, please consider this a warning to stop trusting everybody on the television and realize that people have agendas, even though those agendas might not be apparent, they’re there! Don’t pay to much attention to Michelle Malkin or Bill O’Reilly, the power of both parties (NeoCons and NeoLibs) forgot about the people they represented (us) a long time ago…it’s all about abuse of office and personal gratification in D.C.

Incidentally, did anyone find out which way our representative voted in the impeachment resolution against George Bush this week? Luckily it did pass (by a vote of 251-166) so maybe we can send a message to the next president that torture, murder and lying will not be tolerated from the White House. It’s too bad about Dr. Paul dropping out too, he’s a man we could’ve all been proud of, had the media not taken him off your menu.

Thank you, Ron Paul – Semper Fidelis.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity, but the one that removes awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside. --Allan Bloom
