We live in times where propaganda streams through every one of our mediums of gathering information. The “news” channels are simply propaganda for dictating societal, cultural, and political norms. Our media function as info/tainment, and barraging us with large daily dosages of politically conservative jokes, non-chalant racism, and overtly divisive programming and words that take already existing societal fears, stereotypes and anxieties and manipulate them in ways that magnify our differences and serve to pit everyone in our society against one another instead of directing our anger at the true sources of our problems i.e. government, corporations, and media.
This blog, for me, is my little way of combating the constant negativity, manipulation, and ideological conditioning that we live through everyday here in Amerika. It is a small, isolated, sporadically updated blog that not that many people see, and yet by posting i feel a sense of empowerment in believing that by putting out these words into the vastness of the Internet, it is giving my friends and whoever else sees this shit, a breath of fresh air and a break from all of the bullshit we breath in the rest of the day.
We place varying degrees of our trust in that television and media will give us a non-biased portrayal of the world we live in, but even knowing that this is largely not the case, and in fact many of us who know that corporations and the government dictate what we watch, people still widely believe what the people on t.v. think about things from sports, to food, to politricks, and turn the televisions arguments into their own personal doctrines. This is why it is discouraging to see all of the effort to turn Barack Obama into an anti-Amerikan, anit-semetic, anti-white, muslim terrorist. They are comparing to HITLER for gods sake! What the Fuck?! This is the shit that i far too often passively receive as an open receptacle for the garbage thrown into my brain each day that honestly is killing me softly constantly. Barack Obama gave what probably was the best breakdowns of where we are as a society and because we live in a world of propaganda, colonialism, and smear artists, he is trivialized, dumbed down, and his words manipulated in ways that distort what he actually said- instead of bestowing him with praise for telling the truth and having the courage to speak that truth, especially when all we get from our current president is lies and an evil grins.Luckily we got people who fight back.
I just got this email from moveon.org that read,
This week, Barack Obama gave one of the most honest and inspiring speeches on race in American history after weathering days of the media’s relentless, divisive, and racially charged attacks. But have you wondered where these attacks came from and why they dominated the news? Reporters like NBC’s Tim Russert focused on the “Reverend Wright controversy” only after FOX and other right-wing media did. It happens over and over: FOX airs a right-wing smear and the mass media repeat it. Film director Robert Greenwald just released a short video called FOX Attacks Obama: Part 2 which shows how it happens.
I’m posting that along with the “Part 1″ cuz that shit just summarized really quickly how this bullshit is going down.
Part 1
Part 2
Wow. Sometimes i feel helpless and hopeless, i’m glad i find my outlets, in mostly positive ways.
Snoopy lookin’ smooth as ever talkin to yes… Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg and the View.
Classic Snoop, at his best, arm around Barbara. Hmmm, Barbara saying that she liked him as a Gangster rapper! Wow, this certainly is news to me. I can see it now, Barbara slappin’ Murder Was the Case ridin’ down the ‘Shaw (Crenshaw Blvd.) in her whip…4 much.
Snoop has givin up alcohol?? Damn Dogg, it’s all g, we’ll pour up the McDummy’s for you anyway.
Big Uncle Snoop, he’s been such a staple he feels like family at this point.
It may seem random, and i agree it just might be so. But those who know me, know that that’s how i be sometimes.
Enough disclaimer… I don’t really know how i got in the mood for this, but i did. I’m really into finding music that intrigues me, and that i was closed minded to when i was younger, and that music today has been happy hardcore…i know, it’s like REALLY G?? Yup. That’s what’s up! ahahahaha. This is DJ Cotts and he’s an Australian bedroom DJ who puts out mixes every week on happyhardcore.com. You aint gotta listen to the whole thing, but the part at 7 minutes is when it just goes berzerk. Make sure you’re ready to embark on a journey into the uptempo hyphy unknown…To infinite and beyond!
Thanks for letting me go off on one of my tangents.
Just had to post this, cuz I got mad love and respect for Bun B. Bun talks about why he’s voting for Obama and why you should vote even when you know the system’s rigged.
Kori man, how much does that second clip remind you of them long conversations in T-Town (Tallulah, Louisiana for those who don’t know) with Mr. Fair and the rest of the crew. Man, that’s some real shit.
I can’t tell you how juiced (no steroids) I am for this shit. They even got the boy J.T. to make a cameo in the video. GRRRRRREAT!!!
Their new album, “The Odd Couple,” is about to go INCREDIBLY DUMB INTELLIGENT! Like the soulful Sleepy Brown sangs, “I can’t wait, can’t wait, I can’t wait, can’t wait…”
