Voyeurist Media Ignores Reality
The helicopter crash in Phoenix and the New Republic story about a blogger in the military being attacked by chickenhawks at home for telling stories of US military abuses and wild behavior in Iraq are two sides of the same coin. The US is in love with watching chases, explosions and chaos. This is the main course of our TV shows and movies. Yet we don’t want to see the chaos, chases and explosions in Iraq! We want to ignore that mess while moronically being entertained by domestic messes. TV news is all about entertaining people at the lowest level: the prying, spying gossips who ignore real crimes while focusing only on little scandals.
I was a medic back then during demonstrations and treated people who were gassed. This chemical would enter the skin and make one very sick. Once, in Tucson, a helicopter dropped it on the street between the police and students refusing to [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] move. The wind blew it into the face of the police who all got very sick. I ran over to the captain and ordered him and his men to follow me to a garden hose nearby and I thoroughly sloshed them done, washing the chemical off. Since then, I don’t like helicopters flying overhead. On top of this, they are very noisy.
Since then, the use of helicopters over cities has grown worse. I used to work at 44th St and Park Avenue on the 40th floor of the building next to the Empire State building and the Chrysler building. A helicopter [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] took off from the roof of Grand Central Station and a blade came off and flew into the office of a secretary in the Chrysler building across the street and it decapitated her. The mayor forbade helicopter flights over Manhattan and they could only use the rivers on either side to move up and down. We hear of stories every once and a while of one going down in the East River.
More and more, the news focused on live reports of ongoing police car chases. Police car chases are dangerous by themselves but having a dozen TV helicopters buzzing overhead is twice as dangerous. Since there is a considerable number of bored, low IQ people out there who are entertained by this childish game, there is a lot of pressure to produce more and more shows and make them more and more dramatic. The police, instead of using their heads, head out the door and rush into chases. The uglier the chase ends, the more violent and the more bodies, the happier the TV station owners are.
I remember this Ray Bradbury story where these aliens would be crowds that rush over to tragedy in order to suck up the life force of whever was in trouble. I used run a street patrol in Park Slope. While I was big on this activity, I ended up taking care of police situations all over the city, it just became a habit. Nearly every time I took care of a crisis such as when a man beat a Chinese couple with a baseball bat (yes, I was in the news each time this happened), there would be a huge crowd watching until I run up and take charge. In the case of the baseball bat guy, I happened to have my practice rattan sword with me and I disarmed [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] him using it. The thing is, people like to gawk. This causes huge traffic tie ups when there is something going on that attracts attention. Whole cities can be paralyzed by gawkers.
This is pure voyeur vulturism. I have noticed over the years that humans enjoy the release of inner doubts and tensions when there is violence and then they may cry and hug each other. Then, instead of doing something smart that would prevent these painful events, they redouble their efforts to make these events happen again and again. This is why we go through the same moronic cycle with our wars. The joy of chest beating, the happiness of killing and not being killed in return, bombing everyone from the sky and then laughing because this proves we are gods, when the ugly mess comes rolling back to engulf us, we then shut down and refuse to look at it. Instead of gawking, we drive past as fast as possible.
From Raw Story:The New Republic’s anonymous "Baghdad Diarist" identified himself yesterday as Scott Thomas Beauchamp, an Army private in Iraq, and disputed as "maddening" accusations that he had invented his accounts of cruelty by American soldiers.
As both the military and the magazine investigate Beauchamp’s allegations, a personal blog surfaced in which Beauchamp said last year that each morning he feels "retarded for joining the army," "a little more liberal than the day before" and "a tool for global corporations.
The military hides 99% of what they do because what our soldiers do is often very ugly and often, illegal. In grinding occupations of other people’s countries, we are always very, very brutal and out of control. I [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] have seen videos of soldiers simply emptying their guns into anyone and everyone on the street below [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] when a sniper shoots at them. You Tube has been quite instructive about what is really going on which is why the military is now reducing the ability of soldiers to access the internet because the Pentagon wants to hide our activities.
Our President and the DNC’s candidate last election both belong to a satanic ritual cult that plays with skulls including a child’s skull. The media never investigates this nor do they broadcast this significant fact. It is very high on the ‘verboten’ list! The TV comedian, Colbert, was asked to do some helpful propaganda about all this, he mocked researchers who track the various interlocking satanic ritualist covens that are at the dark heart of our ruling elites. with all the interest in the media over the latest drunken driving of ditzy divas, one would imagine they would happily cover the drunken nude orgies at the Bohemian Grove get together. But no, this voyeurism suddenly goes blind when the camera turns towards the Real Rulers.
The right wing bloated bloggers who sit at home, attacking anyone and everyone who tries to talk about the illegal war, who tries to talk about the ruling class, who tries to uncover what is really going on, are powerful people petted by the rulers. They can lie to their heart’s content and never suffer any slings and arrows from the mainstream media. When left wing bloggers point out factual errors, this is ignored. But any sort of ‘research’ by this mob of cowards gets full press treatment. One would imagine, with the majority of citizens against the war, this would stop at last.
But it goes onwards just as it did during the Vietnam war. Anti war people rarely got to write editorials. And if they talked about imperialism and the right of the Vietnamese to fight us, never, ever was such a point of view allowed.
