When is a Carrot a Watermelon? Ask GBush... |
DEMOCRACY REDEFINED!
A TvNewsLIES.org ANALYSIS OF
MANTRA MANIPULATION
BY G. W. BUSH AND THE MEDIA
CARROTS AND WATERMELONS
If George W. Bush were to hold up a carrot and call it a watermelon, the
American news media would immediately begin calling carrots watermelons.
That’s an undeniable fact. Equally undeniable is the fact that we have
long passed the point when we can trust the American corporate media to
report the news. But even more distressing is the fact that we now have
reached the point when we cannot even trust them with the English language.
Let’s be very clear here: despite media claims to the contrary, the Bush
administration has not put forth a single initiative designed to advance
democracy, - not in America and not anywhere in the world. In fact, the
Bush administration has set in motion programs designed to dismantle our
democracy in order that its real goal can be achieved. That real goal is
unrestricted capitalism and corporate profit.
Capitalism is fine. Unrestricted capitalism is tyranny. When
corporations seek profits with absolutely no concern for the rights and
the needs of the people, democracy dies. In this administration,
corporate profits supersede all else. In this administration, all
legislation is intent upon providing the greatest profits to corporate
campaign contributors, and let the people be damned!
Corporate America has been awarded greater freedom of oversight under
the Bush administration than every before in history. And for every
benefit gained to corporate America, the average citizen in this country
has suffered a severe and irreparable loss.
Under Bush Administration initiatives, the American people now
have the newly expanded freedom to be unemployed, to be homeless, to be
deprived of medical insurance, and to be unable to afford prescription
drugs without fear of government interference!
They now have the newly expanded freedom to breathe polluted air,
to fear new mercury levels, to see great forests being thinned and
pristine lands drilled for oil, and to remain helpless as the planet
succumbs to global warming.
They are more free to live with skyrocketing deficits, reduced
social programs, exorbitant energy costs, and tax cuts for the wealthy.
They are more free to die in illegal wars, to have their civil
liberties disintegrate and see their personal choices invaded by the
religious right.
They are more free to be hated by the world community and feared
by nations who respected them in the past.
Much more, including chart of mantras and reality....

It is not just the working man who has been harmed, it is the country
as a whole. That makes Bush a species of traitor.
Republicans claim to believe Bush when he tells them UA Flight 93
was hijacked by Saudi terrorists who were not aboard.

The question really is - how do you even know that the carrot is a carrot?
Simply because you were told that way from childhood?
What if they had been lying to you all along?
And what if if that carrot is really a watermelon; and has been all along?
Not trying to take sides here - just exploring the pathways that
observations and opinions can, and do, take.
Maybe everybody have been lied to all along and not just in the present.
That's what the "Matrix" movie is all about. It has been wrongly classified
as a Sci-Fi flick. It is a purely political movie. Try and learn the message
there. But you have always been told it simply isn't there?
Maybe that is why a carrot is a watermelon. To some. And, like the Emperor's
non-existent clothes, is very much what everybody is indoctrinated to accept
unconditionally.
Excuse my drivel.
