The Daily News
1 Oh, my!
2 Every computer in my house has these dire warnings that Mozilla is no longer protected, and that I must upgrade with a click of a button.
3 Hmmmm.
4 Something is pretty crooked about all of that. Not sure what, but I guarantee they want money.
5 How come we buy computers every couple of years, but for some reason they can't just include "protection" in them?
6 Because the world is run by a buncha crooks, that's why.
7 A part of me feels like challenging those "warnings". Can't we do a class action against HP or Dell or whomever?
8 It reminds me of New York gangs having restaurants and small businesses buy "protection" against being burned down.
9 It's Godfather stuff.
10 It almost makes me want to "uncomputer" myself.
11 Sons a sons a sons a...!
12 Don't get me wrong. The advent of the computer in the past twenty years is arguably man's greatest achievement in our brief history.
13 But we have gone into a sort of future shock, thinking we have this when clearly we don't.
14 Control.
15 I am getting darned tempted to de-digit my entire being.
16 Moving on, Part the First: I'm not really moving on. I'm just switching thoughts for a sec.
17 Ever since I got my iPhone, I've been paranoid.
18 Technology has done just about everything technology could do. I'm now beginning to believe that the next step is going to be the stuff of science fiction. Already our computers have the entire "access denied" thing going on.
19 At what point are our computers going to begin out-thinking us? Sounds creepy, but the reality is that I now have a computer that I can keep in my shirt pocket. It can tell me exactly where I am, where I shop, what my thoughts are, and all sorts of other weird things.
20 I was driving down Capitol Expressway the other day thinking of how I really miss being able to push buttons instead of having the "touch" thing going on with my phone.
21 I'm afraid that if my phone hits a quarter in my pocket that it might phone someone.
22 It already plays music randomly.
23 And it is listening and gathering info off everything I do.
24 I'm serious.
25 Ah, just paranoia I suppose.
26 Moving on, Part the Second: Did you see that Rupert "Big Brother" Murdoch just arranged with Apple to begin an online paperless newspaper that will include "leather-biting" journalism?
27 Yeah Rupe. We know what your "leather-biting" journalism is.
28 You already control eighty per cent of thought in America. And it's all the way YOU want the news slanted.
29 It's already pretty much Hitlerian. And you already control much of America's thinking.
30 Who controls the present controls the past. And who controls the past controls the future. Or somethiing Orwellian like that.
31 We are already raising an entire generation that accepts mainstream news as a mere nightlight. I get very little sense of young people caring what their government is up to. And that's scary to a guy who has seen his own government blow off a President's head and get away with it.
32 I'll restrain myself here, but Murdoch has just launched an online paperless paper called The Daily with Apple.
33 I'm thinking of suing the bastards for stealing my idea.
34 Think I'd win?
35 Anyway, the very fact that they already are painting Ronald Reagan as a saint shows me a lot. This morning Yahoo or AOL had a picture of Mt. Rushmore with Reagan carved into it. Are ya kiddin' me? Some people in the Bay Area wanted to change the name of Mt. Diablo to Mt. Reagan. <shudder!>
36 If you look at pictures of Reagan's inauguration, you will see Italy's number one godfather at the time, Licio Gelli, the fascist puppeteer and emperor of Italy's corrupt P-2, standing right behind Reagan at his swearing in.
37 The Bush family was in bed with the Nazi party. All one needs to do is to Google Prescott Bush and his insidious connections. Half of those connections are linked to the Kennedy assassination. And a WHOLE bunch of those guys are still walking around making decisions.
38 You won't get any of that from The Daily.
39 And people who actually have read and researched this stuff for years are being looked at as though they are the one's who are lunatics. Fine. Don't read.
40 Google PNAC, Cheney's mob. It stands for Project for the New American Century. It's all there, in black and white, and in red, white, and blue.
41 I stay away from this stuff deliberately because journalism no longer does its job, which is to be the watchdog of this sort of thing. Since almost nobody else is reporting, it, I don't want to be the only guy who tells it without buzzers and whistles.
42 I took journalism courses before everything was controlled, and every class talked about newspapers being the watchdogs of government and corruption.
43 Not anymore.
44 Right now in another room there is an infomercial about a cut-em-up food processor called the Magic Bullet.
45 That is a direct reference to the Kennedy assassination. The "magic bullet" is the one bullet that allegedly went through JFK and Texas governor John Connally, "proving" that Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy all by his lonesome, which is clearly bullshit.
46 The call it the "Ultimate Party Machine". But the concept of a one-thing-could-do all that blender called The Magic Bullet is disgusting. It is directly named after an imaginary bullet in a grisly murder that furbished one of the greatest lies of the twentieth century. I'll buy ten.
47 Somebody took over the government that tragic day, and as yet, no real arrests. A coup took over our government and never turned back.
48 And now Murdoch, who controls nearly everything we think nowadays, is about to manufacture a huge propaganda piece, and Facebook freaks and Twitterers will be thinking his thoughts into the next millennium.
49 I remember that the only other person I ever knew who researches as much as I did was me old friend and confidant Al Russell. He once told me he wanted to write a novel about a ninety-year old man who tries screaming to a younger generation that JFK was murdered by his own successors, and that he would simply look like a howling wolf in the wind. The guy becomes the only logical voice in a thought-controlled world, but comes off to the controlled world as a madman.
50 Chilling, but we both used to laugh about it.
51 That commercial is still on. It's a "juicer". Whatevuh. If I'm a Kennedy, I'd be appalled.
52 Well Rupe, enjoy your Orwellian control thing. You've succeeded gracefully, you old poop.
53 Who controls the present?
54 Just a New Years Friday rant. Boycott the Daily. It will be controlled trash, just like most Dailies these days. There isn't a journalist out there who isn't afraid anymore. 'Cept this Old Brown Shoe. Oh, well.
55 Go Packers.
56 I'm out.
57 Peace
~H~
