Stirling Newberry wrote a glowingly optimistic diary here about the idea of an "open convention" called We Can Do Better: 2006 Open Convention.

There is a flaw in the diary AND in the idea.

Unfortunately.

So the dam is breaking.

The media levees that have held back Hurricane Plame are cracking wide open due to incompetence, and Neo Orleans is about to be flooded.

However...the same forces that are about to be (once again) dealt a serious blow have their eyes on yet ANOTHER attempt.

Just as they always do.

Bet on it.

How did this happen? This unmasking of the fools in power?

The internet.

What is the single greatest threat to the fascist corporate interests behind BushCo?

The internet.

The internet FORCED this confrontation. Because it is out of their control.

Unlike the rest of the media.

This is the Information Age.

And information is POWER.

So now Maureen Dowd...one of the so-called GOOD grey ladies...is trashing Judith Miller.

A BAD grey lady.

What is this? The Wizard of Oz?

I'll tell you what...

The day a major editorial appears in the NY Times calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush and for charges of treason to be brought against him and the entire upper power structure of his administration is the first day that I will even consider the possibility that the NY Times is a newspaper worth reading for anything other than trying to understand the corporate line for the so-called educated.

Referring to the WAPO article A Palpable Silence at the White House, Kossack Marisa Mcnee recently wrote a diary titled WaPo: Post-Rove Thinking Underway that points out yet again how deeply the media hypnotism has gotten under our collective skins.

In the WAPO article, much is made of White House deliberations on how to continue without the invaluable aid of that backstabbing, slimy little hustler Karl Rove. Of course, they don't use quite those terms...in fact, they refer to him quite respectfully, as they do to the Frontman In Chief, Semi-President George W. Butch as well.

But that's all part of the establishment game.

And we peacefully swallow it.

In a highly recommended diary, one of our own woke up...if only temporarily (I have little faith in the ability of most of us to permanently recover from decades of mass media hypnotism. On the evidence. Sorry.)...to the fact that CNN is totally in the employ of Corporate America.

Duh.

FORGET about his medical, mental, physical, emotional and pharmacological states.

FORGET about Bush.

He is as much a used front man as was Reagan.

Of COURSE there is something "wrong" with him.

That's why he was chosen. If there was NOT something wrong with him, he would be dangerous to his handlers.

Stupid. medicated, drunk, weak, any combination of those characteristics...the perfect foil.

The perfect fool.

FORGET about Bush.

Like Reagan...who was controlled by EXACTLY the same group of men and families...it really makes very little difference if he is wheeled out on a fork lift and his lower jaw manipulated like the joke talking heads on Conan while words are piped in from the control room.

FORGET about Bush.

President Regis Philbin.

Go for the jugular.

Cheney.

Cheney Cheney Cheney Cheney Cheney Cheney Cheney CHENEY!!!

So now we see some foilks here saying "I guess Tom Friedman really ISN'T so hot" after he defended Judith Miller in the Times.

Whadda you? STUPID or something?

Listen...he works for the same people as does Ms. Miller. The same people who control the Times line from day to day and from year to year.

Who ARE these people?

They're spooks.

They're the police force of the Permanent Government.

They have agendas.

Their basic agenda...America first.

Their definition of "America"?

Corporate America.

What's best for business is best for us poor schnooks on the ground.

And what IS "American business?"

First and foremost...big oil.

This a response to Pellice's diary The goal IS to reduce the standard of living , the main thrust of which is that the standing oligarchy is trying to reduce the workforce of the United States to a condition of near poverty in order to better compete with the rising third world economically and also to produce an unlimited supply of cannon fodder for their economic imperialist wars.

Here is my answer to that:

November 22, 2005 NY Times headline:

GEORGE W. BUSH NAMED AS UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR

I can see it now...just in time for Thanksgiving.

The turkeys come home to roost.

To roast.

Pieces rapidly falling into place, members of the administration and its media assets copping pleas, starting at the bottom...

Top ranking members resigning, right on up to and through Cheney and Butch...

A lame duck sitting President, no matter WHO survives with a record relatively unscathed enough to be given the job...someone reliable enough to be counted upon to give pardons to the most powerful plotters in this neo-con driven fiasco.

Gerald Ford redux.

Only THIS time...don't fall for it.

Look on the "aspens" thing between Libby and Miller as mythic in structure in order to understand it.

We are like human beings trying to apply our own knowledge to a set of alien intelligences.

Really.

Metaphor, reality or anything in between...these people are not human in any way that most of us can easily understand.

The common knowledge idea that "The rich are different than you and me" (widely and apparently mistakenly attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald, but no less truly or generally believed for all of that...) is woefully incomplete.

The POWERFUL...the truly powerful...are indeed "different". They have crossed over a line that separates them from the rest of us.

They have either crossed over or they have been born on the other side. Take your pick.

This is a response that I wrote to SlackerInc's diary (and to some of his replies there as well), Barrack Obama delivered a sweet slapdown!

In one of his replies to some of my comments about simply trying to tell the truth to the American public, he wrote:

As I say, just between us I don't necessarily disagree with you on the facts--I mean how can I when I have read Zinn's People's History of the U.S. and find it highly credible...

"Just between us", eh? Between us SMART people, right?

I have had enough of THAT shit right here on dKos to last a lifetime. He thinks Obama delivered a "smackdown"? I got yer smackown, right HERE!!! It ain't sweet, but it's real.
