How could it have gotten so bad, so extreme? And yet, the most dangerous parts of the Christian nationalist agenda are virtually unknown. How can that be? Have you even heard of Bill Gothard and the IBLP, or the “Joshua Generation?” How about “ALERT” the military training wing of the Christian nationalists? Who are as we speak, infiltrating the police and military! But yet, even the so-called liberal MSNBC never talks about them. How can that be?

I remember, several years ago Rachael Maddow talked about the corporatization of the media, and how the suits would make sure that important but not self-serving issues would not be discussed on corporation-owned networks. Case in point, when was the last time you heard about the “New Deal” and how during that time America was at its height? How about never…
.
Everything, I repeat everything, has become a reflection of what the corporations deem acceptable. What serves them best? People like Keith Olbermann and Rachael Maddow would tell it like it is, and had to be neutered, not because they were lying, like they do at Fox but because they went into subjects that weren’t “Safe” for the corporate hierarchy.
.
Watching MSNBC now, is like watching an orchestrated stickman contest. The topic is always the same for every show, with the same “Experts” and virtually the same wording. And they are the so-called liberals…It’s the same for all of the mainstream media, or the “Corporate Five.” It’s just a reflection of what they want us to see. They never take a stand, like Edward R. Murrow, or Walter Cronkite, after what they did to Dan Rather.
.
And, we wonder why people complain when something isn’t in bullet points, or solved in a sentence, no matter the depth of the problem or discussion. Why loud and intense, a well-spoken lie wins, when backed by nothing, except feelings…
.
Our entire society has become a reflection of the most powerful, worst of us, based on money, and nothing else. God forbid, I write two pages about something really important, because that requires too much, attention, self-ownership, and critical thinking.
.
The sad truth, that most don’t want to hear, is that we are getting our asses handed to us, by a group of in-bred, homeschooled, uneducated, stifled people, who see God as a cure for everything. Even though, it is debatable that they stand for anything but God-infused wealth and power, absolute male ideological control/ authoritarianism. But they do so, because they stand for something. What do you stand for? Something under two pages, that doesn’t require too much thinking.
.
You can see the prison being built for our children, in real-time, through the reflections of lies from all parts of society. The corporations in charge of the media, know who they want to win, and it’s not us. They want control, profits, and power.
