– Putin rollback of our Cold War victory is the top story of the
year according to time magazine. The ARM meltdown is the
biggest story on the economy side of things.
No, we are not talking about this year.
We are talking about 3 years ago in Moderate Independent news
coverage.
For those of you who weren't readers
back then here:
ARM COVERAGE
- predicting the future way
back in 2005
Our coverage of what is not Time
Magazine's top story began back in December of 2003, as we began to
beg, repeatedly, for someone, anyone, to pay attention to what was
happening in Russia:
The Biggest Issue No One Is Talking About - President Bush's
Naive Foreign Policy Allows Putin To Play Him And Set The Stage For
The Second Coming Of The USSR
The course of the Iraq War we told you
from the beginning as well. If you recall, there was a while
at the beginning when President Bush kept saying the troops would be
home soon, maybe during the holidays; ok, not quite this year's
holidays, but shortly after; ok, maybe next year's holidays.
From the beginning, we reported that if
you are asking when the troops are coming home, you don't understand
what is occurring. The reality is, the troops will never, ever
come home as long as Bush rules. We laid out in
this 2005 article that if you thought there was a chance troops
would be withdrawn, you're denying the reality of the situation.
Ok. So the non-Moderate
Independent media has finally caught up with us. They are
finally covering the Putin story - a little. They are finally
covering the ARM story, though still trying to deny the scope to an
extent. And they have given up on asking when Bush might
withdraw troops.
Ah, progress.
So since we finally have time catch up
to our stories, we figured we might as well begin reporting the
future again.
How do our stories accurately report so
far into the future? Don't ask, don't tell. Just know,
we've never been wrong on a single story - save for election
results, which electronic voting irregularities beg to differ with
the official results more than with our predictions.
So what are the real big stories now -
you know the ones the media should be covering instead of just
beginning to cover things that should have been reported years ago?
The single biggest story - and the one
that might lead to America's ultimate collapse as a democracy - is
the massive gain in power by Bush/Murdoch Republicans.
Yes, that's what we said. Massive
gain in power.
It is bizarre that people seem to think
the Bush/Murdoch Republicans are about to lose something; that maybe
the nation now sees they are losers who destroy the nation and will
be done with them.
Uh uh. Quite to the contrary.
Now if you are just looking at the
coming election, that is one thing. But if you want to follow
the news that will unfold half a decade or so in the future, you
need to pay better attention.
The Bush/Murdoch Republicans have not
only not lost anything, they have expanded their wealth and media
domination far beyond what it ever has been. $3+ a gallon
gasoline eternally at this point; billions upon billions to Cheney
and friends via the Iraq War; Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch not only
no losing assets, but 1) buying Dow Jones, and so taking
control of the most powerful economic paper in the world, the Wall
Street Journal, and 2) having the Bush administration, just last
week, roll back media ownership rules even further to allow for more
consolidation and domination by single owners - such as Republican
propagandist Rupert Murdoch - despite 99 to 1 calls against it.
AM radio is still entirely owned and
operated by right-wing propagandists. Even the one supposedly
liberal bastion, Air America Radio, is now operated by right-wing
propaganda corporation ClearChannel Communications in such major
markets as Los Angeles, leaving them to fill the air with fake
liberals who are really right-wing liars who they use to pre-empt
the actual liberal commentary during important coverage times.
Do you see anything in any of this that
tells of a loss of power by the Bush/Murdoch machine?
Oil company profits - ie Bush friend
profits - have broken records beyond anything the companies could
possibly dream.
While, in the meantime, the other side -
the rest of us - are now in a financial freefall. Our ARM
mortgages are eating us; we continue, as the media has ignored for
years now, to have record credit card debt and record personal
bankruptcies since long before this ARM mess, which will now be
compounded; and thanks to the tax cuts and the endless Iraq and
Afghanistan wars, our nation now has a debt unlike anything we've
ever incurred.
Again, who has the power and the upper
hand in all this.
They have all the cash. They own
basically the entire media.
Yes, they will likely lose this election
- and then spend the next 4 years using their media domination to
lie and blame. It will take between 6 and 8 years for people
to start to forget. And within 10 years, the Bushies will be
back, not only stronger than ever, but, in this, their third
incarnation, they will finally solidify their permanent dominance
with their war, fear, indoctrination, media domination, and things
like a required 2 years of military service in which they force
religion and conservatism on all.
Oh yeah, they control the Supreme Court
as well, with flat out right-wing henchmen at the top positions and
fully in the majority. Scalia is the less scary one at this
point.
Again, which part of this points to them
having a weakening hold on power.
Yes, if you cover news like the rest of
the media, you will report the short term and miss the big picture.
You will report that the Bushies are on their way out.
But the reality is, the true story is
truly, massively the opposite. Be afraid. Be very
afraid. First there was the Gingrich wave. Then there
was the W era. The Third Reich of Right-Wing Blame-and-Lie
Republicans will be the official end of America as a democratic
nation.
