The Bush Administration must be happy this week

With resolutions being debated in both houses of Congress and Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Cheney, on trial, the top two stories in the news are:
1) Astronaut Lisa Nowak tried to kidnap and kill a woman she thought was a rival for a fellow astronaut's attentions.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/space/02/08/nasa.image.reut/index.html
2) Former stripper and Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith dies suddenly at the age of 39.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/08/anna.nicole.collapses/index.html

This type of sleaze will keep all of the news and talk shows busy and distract everyone from the real issues.

By the way, if you want to read about the resolutions or the Libby trial:

It doesn’t matter, people distracted by such things wouldn’t car anyway. If they did, it would be superficial and temporary at best.

^That's right: anybody who's flaky enough to be distracted by such things as those to the extent that they pay attention to nothing else shouldn't be participating in politics anyway. Such people would accept the picture given to them by the media at face value, and just increase the media's disturbingly large power over the people.

Man, that is so close to what I've been thinking recently....requiring a test of current event knowledge before allowing anyone to vote. Yeah, I know this is incredibly "wrong" and unPC, but it is an evil thought that has been creeping into my brain lately....

Every body is affected by the material they are shown, because every person wants to feel they belong, the mdeia is a powerfull way of showing us images which affect our knowledge of our tribe. Its like pack relations over national and internation scales. I think to dismiss people as being dumb is cruel and bitter. Most people are very clever, however they attune themselves to things they think other people will be interested in, so if they think most people will care about anna nicole smith then thats what they will watch. In this way the media do directly influence thought through the power they have to affect whats popular, thay cant affect peoples preferences but thay can control the options.

Cheney or Libby are going to prison? ...lmao...you must be on drugs. All that garbage serves is the facade of due process and accountability and confirmation that people like yourself believe it. There are no parties, there is no country. The nation-state era is long since over and the planet conquered. Eisenhower, a decorated General warned of the ever manifestation of the for-profit, industrialized war machine decades ago. The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA creates the enemies the Pentagon & Politicians & talking heads tell us are our enemies.

Indeed, the close ties between the U.S and Saudi Arabia, an al qaeda hotbed is undeniable! Indeed, same with Pakistani Intel. Egypt. The KLA. Bosnia. W. Africa. The Chechen Rebels. Billions to the PLO/PA and Isreal's creation of Hamas. Indeed, the support of the Ba'ath party, an obscure fringe party totally uncapable of seizing absolute power w/o ulterior support. Now, we have a manufactured conflict, justified by manufactured evidence, in a part of the region England & France conquered in WWI. Oh that's right, out of the kindest of the ruling classes hearts, they went and afforded the entire middle east self-determination and it's mere coincidence that our military presence and occupation has only increased since WWII. ...lol...

There are many reliable, even mainstream sources linking the CIA to drug trafficking. Haven't ever noticed that the so called "war" only starts after the mass distribution? How about our currency and the fact that the world has to trade for oil in dollars? creates a massive demand for our currency and all the global power brokers have to do is use any of their other puppet governments to call in those notes. The reality wouldn't be "crash", it would be a CRUSHED economy!

The labor movement is alive and well in America? It is done people! These international banking cartels and energies barons are back, and with a major score to settle. A real issue is Cheney or Libby? ...please...Environmental degradtion is upon us and a global population explosion must be addressed, and will! Wake up and follow the money. Watch who suffers and who doesn't by the coming bio-terror and contagious diseases soon to wipe billions off the face of the earth!
