Abused By Illusions

I found this site the other day and I absolutely love it. It's called Treadmill USA. It makes the argument, and supports it rather well, that all of us here in the good ole US of A are on a treadmill. That is, we are going absolutely no where. We are being fed a constant diet of dung by the press and kept in the dark as to what is really going on in the world. Hell one has to read the foreign press to read any news whatsoever. Our press has been filled with the pablum of nothingness as of late. Ever read anything in the American press that touches on issues that even matter? All we ever read about anymore, or so it seems to me, is what celebrity is participating in what vulgar act, what teacher is caught in a sex act with what student, what politician has been recorded admitting to the use of drugs. Hello! Hello! There is a WAR going on! Does anyone still remember that? 1500 troops are now dead, if we believe the official count, which of course I don't. Why should I care less about any of the stuff that the press is trying to distract us with is beyond me.

Might the press be trying to make us forget that they were shills for the orginal changing lies as to why we were required to support this invasion? It sort of reminds me of back when I was in grammar school. A rather ingenious, if devilish, young man was caught putting gum in a young ladies hair by the school teacher. She had the young lad dead to rights. But hold the presses. The young lad being, even then, an ardent fan of "The Art of War" by one Master Sun Tzu, and seeing that he was indeed quickly finding himself in a no win situation chose what seemed to his young mind the most expedient solution available within galactic calculus. He placed gum in his own hair. The teacher thinking that no sane young man would put gum in his own hair thus deducted that he was innocent.

So! Apply Occam's razor to how ridiculously Buffoonish the American press has became and you tell me. Is the press putting gum in their own hair?
