That is a great piece. We need couriers running around with it to people in the malls and on the streets. I'm flipping out about WHEN do people start getting face-to-face with this stuff? Is there ANYONE out there interacting with ANYONE ELSE in person anymore? What are the people in school or in churches doing? WTF? Where are the people tapping you on the shoulder to tell you about a meeting or a protest, inviting you? Where is the self-appointed committee coming up with the people to replace the government... as this author puts out? Nobody wants to take charge, actually DO something, because that makes them a target, like Martin, like John, like.... If the world has taught the people anything, it is don't DO anything about it or you die... except we all die from NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. They could not threaten us if we wouldn't be threatened. We are many and they are few, and not anything puny like a hundred to one; it's more like hundreds of millions to one.
I caught a "Journalist" (sic) pumping out a drive-by radio bit on the TSA and how we all love them cause there was a poll (The cbs one not the reuters, or the new one) and bla bla bla You know that crap spiel, "if we let children and grannies pass, they's be used a human bombs next." This journalist (sic) was full of this kind of crap, and slamming us at 50KW in the Morning where Most will hear it, then Repeated 5-6 PM I forget the time exactly for maximum effect?
When I contacted this "Journalist" (sic) the first thing was I was attacked for "being anonymous" . I shit you not, I was accused I didn't have the "GUTS" to use my "Real Name"
I had to point out the SMTP RFC's 5321 and 5322, and that I simply popped off an email to complain and find where I could get the truth to counter the hit piece. If I was "anonymous" or not wasn't my issue or even thought. I'm thinking name@isp isn't very anonymous these days, as if you had a warrant you could Go to "My ISP" and inquire about my name@.
This "Journalist" (sic) was more obsessed with finding out who I am and continuing to make "Journalistic" (sic) talking points all of which conveniently ignore vocabulary like "Kurt Haskill", Sharply Dressed Man, State Department, No Passport.
Furthermore, every time I got a Reply back the Subject: field was changed from my Subject to what they wanted the subject to be.
I did GLEAM part of what they REALLY THINK inside their giant corporate media dog and pony show. It came at the end suprisingly, after attacking me about a bunch of nonsense which has nothing to do with my Complaint.
I am going to break it up some here so it can't be "Search Termed" by this monster.

Yeah I hell of scrambled that up, and hid the Call letters. But NOW you KNOW what they think.
This also confirms, I am not off the mark in my critique over the years about the "awol original fcc mission statement" and how the public spectrum is corporate owned, and not in the public interest, actually OPPOSITE of it.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton
