TODAY. More American media madness

Once again, I’m at risk of sounding callous about that shooting of Donald Trump. Of course it was nasty, frightening and wrong. And deserves media coverage.

Yes, it was big stuff, and doesn’t the media love it! Especially in the USA. Was it a lone attacker? Was he sent by Joe Biden? Was it the CIA? Was it organised by elite satanic paedophiles? Was it an elaborate “friendly fire” organised by the Republicans?

America being the crazy place that it is, the gun lobby will no doubt use it as an argument for having more people with guns around at such a function – as they argued for teachers armed in the classroom. (I always thought that was a dangerous one – teachers can get so cross with some kids!)

But meanwhile, other important stuff is not getting noticed in the “mainstream” media.

Like for example, the continued atrocities in Gaza. Bombing of tent communities. Bombing of schools.

Like for example – that the Democratic party has no plans to alter its policy of unconditional arms support for Israel. Meanwhile Biden mouths pious motherhood statements regretting the suffering of the Gazan people.

Like for example – the belligerent Washington Summit Declaration containing, among other things -“Investing in our Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear defence capabilities”. But the USA and European both support the United Nations Biological Weapons Convention. What happened to that?

Like for example – Unconditional support for Ukraine’s victory over Russia at a time and on terms set by Ukraine and its allies, not by Russia (no negotiation) And approval for F-16s to attack inside Russian territory. And Ukraine’s “irreversible path” to NATO Membership.

Sadly, the corporate media is becoming irrelevant to the important things going on in the world.

It really matters little whether the Republicans or the Democrats get in at the next USA election. Both are controlled by wealthy corporations, especially weapons makers. The Biden administration will torpedoe us to World War 3. Trump will destroy all demoncratic institutions, and create a global zeitgeist of fear and distrust, also leading to World War 3.

Do Americans have the brains to vote for somebody other than those two useless parties?

The problem in America is that we have a “duopoly” a “fixed” two party system which the 1% ruling class buys out the elected members of all parts of the “3 co-equal” branches of the government. It is the best government money can buy. It is not a “real” representative government, which I think a parliamentary style government with “ranked order” “run-off” open primary elections would be more democratic and representative of the people, that it is supposed to serve and protect, not just the rich, 1% movers and shakers at the top. We are headed to a fascist, dictatorship, I am afraid because the masses are so disempowered, bewildered, angry, disillusioned, and brainwashed into to thinking that it doesn’t matter who is at the top or simple don’t care. It is at best an “oligarchy” who have strangleheld the government, to do nothing in a gridlock and and a Judicial system that is systematically rolling back any “check and balance” on the 1% and their almighty quest for profits and power. Now they want “absolute power” “to do whatever the hell they want to,” to hoard their wealth and power. No “burdensome taxes” or “burdensome regulations.”
