Mass Media Madness

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind --Jim Morrison

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - Television anchors and their guests waste hours of viewer’s time ridiculously focused. Topics with limited importance, should not be broadly covered at the expense of the most important issues.

Guesswork predictions of potential 2014 and 2016 political candidates waste time. The presidential elections are three years away and pundits are already taking polls and showing how much they know about potential candidates.

What Happened to the LTTE Prisoners of War?

To kill these young people, most of them in their teens, one must have an extremely cruel heart.

(MELBOURNE) - There was a time when the Tamils believed that these prisoners of war were alive. When Callum Macrae of Channel 4 produced tubes that showed the treatment meted out to these prisoners, the thought that they were alive dimmed.

These people may have ceased to exist long ago.

We shovel our hard earned taxpayer dollars overseas to Egypt while they kill hundreds, burn down Christian churches and shake their fists at America.

Will Palestine Retain Its Natural Gas Fields?

Secretary Kerry, acting as something less than an “honest broker”, could be devising a token economic and freedom bucket list of promises that would be nothing less than a “carthaginian peace” imposed by the U.S. and Israel on Palestine, a “peace” which conquering armies impose on a defeated population.

(CHICAGO) - For the moment, all is quiet on the Israeli-Palestinian peace front. Is it “too quiet”, as they once asked in movie westerns?

That depends entirely on what kind of peace is being discussed. Does danger lurk, or does a just peace lie ahead?

It`ll be a cold day in January...

He makes a July's day short as December; And with his varying childness cures in me Thoughts that would thick my blood. - William Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL) - Recently, a White House hanger-on drew a comparison between the Republican Party and Lawrence Summers, former Clinton Treasury Secretary, Obama Economic Adviser and short-listed candidate for Federal Reserve Chairman.
