Every time I want to believe that Alex Jones is filled with one exaggeration after another, I go looking into the matter and find out that the truth is, in fact, stranger than fiction. President Obama’s duplicitous aims — or at least an apparent lack of good judgment — first came into undeniable focus for me when he appointed a key member of the Federal Reserve to guard over the US taxpayer bailouts and propose regulations for the very industries from whence these financiers come and to whence they these Fed. Reserve members are free to return with large singing bonuses to gain in exchange for all the favors they perform in Washington DC over the next few years. With the appointment of Obama’s science advisor, the picture only grows bleaker.

If this micromanaging Ecoscience philosophy were advocated or penned by the likes of us, do you know how fast the mental health community — let alone our coworkers, friends and neighbors — would slap a deranged label on us? Yet here we see that Mr. Holdren has done nothing but be rewarded for his criminal insanity, not only securing himself a publisher, but landing in the Obama administration decades later! Are all the people who ever came to know or work with this quack narcissistic enough to actually believe that dear Mr. Holdren wouldn’t apply his sick “solutions” to THEM and THEIR children? For that matter, where have we heard this before? When Hitler penned “Mein Kampf” and nobody believed he would proceed to fulfill his evil plan?

Psychopaths can be very charming. Anyone else committing to paper the same extremist Orwellian plans would have been morally, intellectually and academically disgraced — and these days labeled a Homeland Security threat! From the looks of things, too many people in high places have been holding Mr. Holdren’s dirty intellectual and moral laundry for far too long, and that makes anyone who knows and continues to remain silent within the sphere of this nut’s influence culpable.

This situation also begs a second question: Why in the world does the mainstream media ignore these topics/connections/realities and leave it to the so-called conspirators? Why should the Internet and the “citizen journalism” movement be our last best hope for convincing people that the official line can’t be taken at face value? I have a theory about some of this…

There’s always a story behind the story, yet the mentally unbalanced powers that be seemingly count on the fact that the details, once they are more fully appreciated by the few who seek to connect all the dots, will sound like a far-fetched conspiracy to those who are too lazy or fearful to step out of the lines and think for themselves. How convenient! Mainstream Americans, who are lucky to have the free time to read a newspaper let alone patronize alternative news sources, will chalk any and all “beyond all rational belief” information they receive up to the lunatic fringe, never considering that the true psychopaths among us are not always serial killers but intelligent, if not morally deficient individuals, who advance to high places where they can influence supposedly “sane”, educated people! Ah, but isn’t that the goal — to hide in plain sight? Was it not Hitler who convinced sociologists and historians alike that the ability to deceive people may rest on simply repeating an outrageously big lie often enough for people to presume it holds truth?

Here’s the problem that we have to push through if we’re going to mobilize more people to wake up: change the way people “consume” news in this country, and specifically the attitude that news is just a disposable resource instead of an indispensable tool by which an educated and informed public defends a democratic republic in the voting booth and through the freedom of assembly, speech and religion.

At present, evidence to the denial most people prefer to truth exists all over the ‘net. On any given day or any given media site there are those who post comments forcefully and openly condemning controversial coverage of all stripes. The intellectually dishonest fallback is to make allegations of “yellow journalism” and “sensationalism” and very often it works beautifully to get journalists and their editors to turn a blind eye toward anything that might truly shake their viewers’ and readers’ perceptions of the world in the future. Witness the reaction to the NYT story on the “fringe birthers’” on August 4. Most who posted responses agreed that the mere acknowledgment of a problem constituted a stamp of approval even though the article was hardly favorable toward birthers’ claims. In this way the status quo loving public hears no evil, sees no evil. Between the unimaginative public and the skittish media sponsors, journalists and their editors are under tight reign and increasingly few dare upset the apple cart as a result. This is how we can explain the Wall Street Journal, among other news organizations, admitting a year or two before President Bush left office that they “dropped the ball” about pre-war links between 911 and Iraq or between WMDs and the supposed intelligence supporting their existence.

All of these tied hands within the corporate media has one result: A relatively bland, repetitive news format, where investigative reporting is the exception rather than the rule, and ordinary crime and mayhem substitutes for any real attempt to perform a public service. Sooner or later readers and listeners attention spans began to drift because the news cycle is far too predictable. Readership and ratings begin to lag and media companies, as they are today, struggle to remain in business — all of this, tracing its roots, to the desire to appease patrons and sponsors who refuse to have their comfort zones and sacred political cows challenged.

The public wants it both ways — tame stories of moderate interest, replete with the prerogative to complain over the “fluff”. (As if most news consumers would bother with anything more mentally demanding — to the extent media is a business like any other, they’re selling us what we are willing to buy, ultimately.) Then, on the other side of the coin, the public recoils from hard hitting truth and even the mere attempt to get to the bottom of a complex subject is too often perceived as an endorsement by mainstream media rather than the responsible public service investigative journalists were once expected to perform. Therefore we who bother to read and watch witness a dumbing down of the media — a lazy, quasi form of “press release reporting” with some intermittent token attempts to provide “in depth coverage” tossed in for good measure. Make no mistake: All of this is evidence of media outlets try to walk an impossibly thin line between giving the public a product they want vs. driving off ad revenues because the American people can’t or won’t stomach anything more substantial.

To put it into a more spiritual perspective, this Day in Age has been on the way for a long, long while. New Testament Scripture says people in the last days will seek out teachings that “tickle their ears”, holding to an outward form of truth while denying its inward power. What do we have here if not evidence of the greatest nation, the freest country, the most educated, creative population in modern history, if not all of human history, willfully putting our heads in the sand, preferring our iPods and the unreality of rampant fiction and escapist fantasy — Harry Potter, Second Life, World of Warcraft, etc. — to the realization that we’re being corralled, and not by accident!

Sorry for the rant. This just really gets under my skin. And well it should. Any person with a brain or a heart should care and especially those with children or grandchildren or plans or expectations for them. And while we’re at it, the few of us who are really making a sincere attempt to be “in the know” shouldn’t be the least bit shy about what we learn, either. It’s time the blinders came off the public at large, but there’s little chance of that happening if we who are making the attempt to do our homework fail to share the knowledge we have gained.

Go out and spread the word. And keep up the Good Fight.

Oddly enough, today was the first ultrasound for us– tech laughed because the kid keeps putting his hands in front of his face and rolling to get away from the people poking at my belly. ^.^

It’s really sad to see, but some folks just *can’t* let themselves believe some things. I don’t get it.

The gradual mainstreaming of eugenics as represented by Holdren is very alarming. I remember when high resolution ultrasounds were introduced. At that point, it became rather ridiculous to claim an unborn child with clearly defined features and expressions was not a child, so now the frightening argument we hear boils down to “yes, and so what if it is?”
