377 you are not going to believe who I hung out with last night. Bob Barr from Atlanta and his wife. Yes, the four-termer republican. http://www.aclu-wi.org/wi/dossierproject.html I guess that was ok after protesting Oliver North all morning and the night before, eh? http://madison.indymedia.org/newswire/display/15855/index.php http://madison.indymedia.org/feature/display/15846/index.php http://madison.indymedia.org/feature/display/15798/index.php I didn't realize how big of a rift there was between conservatives and neocons doing this whole hitler endrun. If Bob Barr is scared, I am too. He says all of Patriot II is going to be passed a piece at a time this year before people realize all their rights have gone away and fears it's already too late. Anyhew, he's researching, outing and exposing this whole PNAC group, and they're attacking him back pretty heavily. Be afraid, be very afraid. I'm prime anarchist, and I said that - it's midnite monday the 19th of january, 2004.

Right in between city and state governments sounds a LOT like in between CBS and Public TV, don't it? Or ABC and CNN or something. Contrived. You could call it the Republicans' only philosophy really: "If you can't beat 'em, infiltrate 'em. If that don't work, create a front group in between somewhere. There are radio and print equivalents (and I'm sure soon come web) but I won't even go there for this essay. Fox is my topic, setting is TV and theme is theirs alone. Their neoconservative agenda. I'll take 3 quick wide powder shots and see what I don't hit here. You ready? Fox, choreograph, judicial protest, November 12th, Brit Hume. Wow. Fox came into the scene long after Reagan tried his damnedest to verbally ass force news companies far to the right. He had the help of Edwin Meese, Lee Atwater, and Oliver North among many other "nazi" activists. The John Birch Society was in that fray, aiding and abetting as well. At about the same time Reid MacCluggage from the New London Day and the Hartford Courant played right into their hands over and over without even knowing it, even though he saw himself a "liberal." He headed up APME, ASNE and API and assorted other credibility hogs.. Same goes (went) for people at Columbia Journalism School and/or those who sit on the board that decides Pulitzer winners. Gatekeepers' gatekeepers, but I digress. I wasn't going to touch printlandia today (my own personal forte) The side point I was working on here, though, was that I'm surprised FOX corporation people haven't started their own yearly journalism awards - hmm. you could call them the hennies, or the henhouse prize or something. OK, back to FOX. Shephard Smith, tried to kill a woman for her parking space during the 2000 Florida vote count fiasco. Only did 2 nites and 3 days in jail for it. Racketeering, top of apartheid, expensive (about 6M a year) corporate shill. Did Greta leave CNN and go to FOX? I wrote myself a note in my journal to discuss her irc chat at this point. OK, there was a time about a year ago when Greta Van Sustern (a gorgious neoconservative woman similar to Anne Coulter) started having interesting chatrooms hosted by cnn corporation. I won't go into great detail because you can jump on the net fairly easily and read it all for yourself if you have access to a modem. If not, ask someone to print it out for you. I will intro this by mentioning that at some point it had become corporate policy by Greta's handlers that the names FOX, and INDYMEDIA, along with all derivatives must be purged from all the chats, especially the ones that will be seen on TVlandia. So if you happened to type something like F0x or 1ndym3d1a or something and give a plug, or a link, or mention of a story eminating from either of the two, people were being paid hourly to enter that into a database and let the filter system "learn" it for purging! Yes, CNN was terrified of those two organizations. I never heard of FOX having chats, but I betcha they kicked back the same way. http://ucimc.org/newswire/display/2793/index.php http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-editorial/2001-October/004391.html http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/italy-editorial/2001-October/000408.html http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-editorial/2001-October/004377.html So when a county government comes in between a city and a state sometimes it does little or nothing. Hires a few sheriffs, sometimes only one, networks Salvation Army and local churches for nominal homeless help until FEMA gets there, finds its citizenry some extra green space or so, here and there. But sometimes it grows cancerously into something much bigger, meaner, more devastatingly oppressive than a city OR a state. Like what we've seen here in Milwaukee. A county stuck in there between a democrat Governor and a socialist mayor until the neocons within the Republican party can figure out how to snatch both. Well, the repugnants almost have NBC, and they're trying their hardest to overtake the other two. And they just can't figure out CNN, Indymedia, GNN, commondreams.org, or now moveon.org . So that's when it was suddenly time for a "Fox News." Created in a petry dish, by Lee Atwater/Karl Rove types. Painting itself as superfriends superheros of sorts. But more resembling the pig cartoon villains in old Saturday morning episodes of Captain Planet really. Fox, guarding the police station, the White House, the Pentagon, and oops, WTC building #7, oh and the henhouse. I mean the polling place. -30- "It's just turned tomorrow, 1205, to be precise." -- Dave Berkman. BRAND NEW RECEIPT. YUM!!! 1 cup brown rice 3 dash cayenne (hottest you can get, a gazillion IU's) 3 tsp honey 3 tsp olive oil Boil up brown rice whatever way you do it. Serve yourself about 1/3 of the rice. Mix a dash of cayenne and the teaspoon each of honey and olive oil, and eat. Serve the other two portions to friends or eat seconds and thirds. Double this recipe for each new person you PLAN on sharing this with because they WILL want seconds, and you WILL want leftovers. Yum!!! QUOTES BECOME A REVIEW OUT OF NOWHERE. Tom Morello's Progressive Interview Reviewed. "After the interview he greeted his mom, Mary Morello, an activist in her own right, in the hotel lobby." -- Elizabeth DiNovella. January Progressive Magazine. "My mother, who looks very much the part of the retired suburban high school teacher, will get on the stage with a militant fist and say, "Please welcome the best fucking band in the universe." -- Tom Morello about his mom. "They [record label cabals] are the slumlords of the music industry. We artists rent a room. Sometimes you get the fleabag room, sometimes the penthouse suite. But all those people have been having dinner together and have been scratching each others backs long before you put your band together and they'll still be there long after they drop your band. The structure is set, and it's not artist friendly. -- ibid. [ I hadn't meant these quotes to become a review full-on, but here you go. You really should read the entire article if you can. ] "Growing up, alternative media was not part of my life. It wasn't where I got my news. I got my news from Clash albums, frankly. I thought the "Sandinista" record had more accurate and vivid portrayals of U.S. foreign policy in Central America than Tom Brokaw was giving on the news." -- ibid.
