Americas Brutal Prisons They are just some of the victims of wholesale torture taking place inside the U.S. prison system that we uncovered during a four-month investigation for Channel 4 . It’s terrible to watch some of the videos and realise that you’re not only seeing torture in action but, in the most extreme cases, you are witnessing young men dying. |

The Issue of the Media. Quotes on the Media
In the first worldwide Press Freedom Index the United States ranked 17th, Canada 5th and rest of the top ten were European. This should be an issue with all Americans
"There's really 5 companies that control 90% of what we read, see and hear. It's not healthy." ~ Ted Turner 2003
Top 5
(1) AOL Time Warner (2) News Corporation (3) Walt Disney Company (4) Viacom (5) Vivendi
"If media moguls control media content and media distribution, then they have a lock on the extent and range of diverse views and information. That kind of grip on commercial and political power is potentially dangerous for any democracy." ~ Chuck Lewis, executive directory of the Centre for Public Integrity 2004
"You don't get rewarded in commercial broadcasting for trying to tell the truth about the institutions of power in the country. . . . I think my peers in commercial television are talented and devoted journalists, but they've chosen to work in a corporate mainstream that trims their talent to fit the corporate nature of American life. And you do not get get rewarded for telling the hard truths about America in a profit seeking environment . . ." ~ Bill Moyers upon his retirement after 30 years in television journalism.
"The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media." ~ Former CIA Director William Colby
The Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media conducted a survey of regular political talk show listeners. it said: "exposure to those programs is not significantly related to even elementary tests of political information."

Issues, News and Opinion
MSM (Main Stream Media) TV News is no place to get your news/views on issues if you want a good picture of what is going on. It's basically entertainment. First there's a news event. Then you get the opinions about the news event. Then the opinions about the opinions and so on. Then you get the whole thing repeated over and over ad nauseam. There is some redemption in their websites and specials but it is still Corpglomerate (corporate conglomerate) in nature. The Internet is a better source (though Corpglomerate is there too) and you must be discerning and use that thing on top of your neck. It's not just for show.
Try some of these for news, views, issues and discussion:

Do You Know Where You Are ??
Let's take a look at where we are and what we're up to!!
Somewhere in all this:
Original Google image here
You are on the third rock from the sun. Which is actually a star. A rather small out of the way star at that. In a small out of the way galaxy known as the Milky Way There are, of course, billions of other galaxies. Blue Star Galaxy Sombrero Galaxy
It is a very old rock by our standards. Another view
It is a rock that is fast becoming overcrowded and we are nowhere near being able to leave. Unless changes are made we may be headed for a Dieoff. Word Hunger will be an increasing problem as our resources decline. Yet obesity is a major problem in America.
Virtually all the energy available for life in our biosphere is made available through photosynthesis. Global photosynthesis captures more than 10 times the total energy requirements of mankind for both food and fuels. It was the origin of the fossil fuels we now depend on and may be the salvation of mankind. If the breakthroughs come in time.
We live on a rock with 6 Billion other modified monkeys some of them nuclear armed and all of them dangerous. A significant number belong to Bronze Age religions that tell them they are chosen by God to lead the other monkeys to slavation, oops, excuse me, salvation. In my humble opinion Divinely Inspired Monkeys (DIM's) pose one of the greatest threats to basic freedoms, the species and the planet, that exist here on this wobbly little mud ball. Osama is a DIM as is Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and George Bush.
"Whenever we read ... the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize humankind. And, for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel." -- Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

Actually we are now considered to be in the family of Hominidae which includes the Great Apes. Some may take offense. (Some of the Great Apes that is) Perhaps we should come up with another name for ourselves. I vote for the Spunky Monkey. (Someone should invent a Spunky Monkey dance. I tried but caught sight of myself in the mirror.) (The horror. The horror.)
We haven't been around that long. If all of history were a year the United States would appear on December 31, at 11:59:59.6 PM (Timelines links) We have accomplished a lot. But a what a cost. Last century about 110 million people died as a result of war. If I remember correctly the deaths due to war go up by about 50% each century. So we can expect around 150 million+ to die in wars this century. Of course our dwindling resources may increase that number and science could significantly increase it.
We sure do love to tinker with stuff. Glowing Monkey And keep in mind genetics and biology may produce the weapons of the future. These could produce a future Armageddon that could just about wipe us out. Of course genetic weapons would be used to target enemies that are genetically different that the group running the scientist thereby leaving one group alive. But every so often you get a bad scientist. Or two. Or apocalyptic types like Aum Shinriko who attacked a Tokoyo subway with Sarin. I'll be gone by the time this stuff rolls around so you young'uns can worry about this particular problem.
We face perhaps the greatest challenge mankind has ever faced with global warming climate change starting and global peak oil coming up. These issues should be on everyone's mind. Let me tell you a simple truth. You can't haul two ton of fertilizer in a one ton truck. Sooner or later the population of the planet will have to stabilize. We can do it ourselves or that old bitch mother nature can do it with her usual tools: Disease, Starvation and War. The choice is ours.
