Not Courting the CMNM Anymore

In past campaigns, the Party of Commons used to plead with editors and reporters of the Corporate Mainstream News Media (CMNM) to give us a little coverage since news coverage is practically synomynous with votes. The traditional thinking is that candidates who don't get coverage, don't get elected. So, generally speaking, we sent our press releases, opinion pieces and e-mails to the CMNM and were laughed at and mocked, and if the CMNM did decide to cover us, it was usually to further disparage our political efforts. While we were bringing the people of America another choice besides Democrats & Republicans, like several other third parties in America, the Corporate Mainstream News Media decided to effectively collaborate with the major parties to defeat any real change in America.

They and their cohorts have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams and as a result our economy is in shambles, the environment is getting so bad that people are actually talking about looking for another planet for humans to inhabit, and the Military Industrial Complex and the hired clowns and bozos in the Congress are dreaming up new empires so that our nation can continue to be tied down in parts of the world where we don't belong, something akin to Gulliver of "Gulliver's Travels." Observing this journalistic travesty, Commoner America is increasingly no longer being fooled by the CMNM and the sham political beneficiaries of their "reporting," which is why we have enjoyed a new freedom of not worrying about whether they ignore us anymore. We are communicating about our campaign directly to the people, and it will be the people, through their word-of-mouth and electronic communications that will win the day for the Party of Commons and, in essence, the masses who are our only hope for a true democracy.

Civilian Officials' Lies

Ex-President George W. Bush's provocative lies leading up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was highlighted on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC report ("Hubris: The Selling of the Iraq War"), tonight.  By time this essay is published, readers (especially, in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones, Alaska and Hawaii) should still be able to see a re-broadcast of the program from the beginning, later on this evening.  It, basically, shows or implies that officials like Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, and George Tenet were all lying about Iraq and using the lies as a pretense to lead America into war.  Building on what already has been conventional knowledge, the program showed that Iraq had nothing to do with the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.  As David Corn of Mother Jones magazine said, there have been no consequences for the criminal wrongdoings of these officials, such as being ha...

Last Chance for Tradition

Hollywood liberals, in partnership with the national liberal intelligentsia, are determined to increase the spoils of victory that they have ridden on for the last quarter century, and, now, they are trying to run up the score by vanquishing the last remnants of social conservatism in America.  If Hollywood wins, America as we have known it since the Era of Theodore Roosevelt, or the Ragtime Era, will forever be lost, and once lost there will be no hope of return.  In this decade, we have reached the tipping point as the national liberal intelligentsia is trying to turn America up side down, hamlet by hamlet, town by town, city by city, and state by state until they capture all the hearts and minds.    Now, they and Hollywood are funneling money into the campaign chest of Adam Smith, hoping to keep out yet another small voice for traditional America, Mark Greene's voice, from reach...

Persecution Follies

The Obama govt.'s heavy-handed prosecution of whistleblowers, or those people who uncover and tell the People about government wrongdoing -- or in the case of Bradley Manning (who released classified, though not top secret, information) about atrocities -- is unprecedented.  In effect, what the government is doing is trying to keep wrongdoing secret by threatening draconian-length prison terms to anybody who dares to let the nation know what's really going on.  Relating to these whistleblowers' uncovering of the truth, the American People are finally seeing the true face of this government and past governments, and it's not always good or righteous.
