Q.E.D.
If you've ever needed direct evidence of the ruling class, with the mass media as junior partner in plunder, observe the reaction to the defeat of the bailout plan in Congress. The power elite has been dealt a shocking blow by the revolt we witnessed yesterday, and that shock is fully reflected by the pundits on the morning news shows. They cannot believe that the "responsible thing" was not done. The only dissenter I've seen in the last 36 hours is Lou Dobbs (bless his soul!).
I think Glenn Beck was also opposed to it. Though I didn't catch his show in the last 36 hours...
ReplyDeleteBless Dobbs' soul? Agh, you're scaring me!
