Whose Ride are We On?

Masculine media moguls control messages through abuse they thrust on most journalists and editors who prefer living without fear, but nonetheless, are coercively monitored in media outlets. Therefore, we USA residents are no where near possibilities of seeing pictures nor hearing words describing results of our global sisters’ and brothers’ physical oppressions by their countries’ ambiguous statutes—our hearts don’t skip a beat while watching commercial television and reading printed newspapers.

So, whose ride are we on anyway? Isn’t it clear now that global public relations campaigns tell us what our considerations will be? Neither empathy nor sympathy can be drawn from a dearth of reporting, absence of images, lacks of analyses; the void of voices is so vast that citizens do not realize but what placid advertising and marketing campaigns put in front of our noses. For which I ask, to what end?

The major television networks and newspapers in the USA have long ago got their fear to be supreme over their duties as journalists. They are not monitoring the centers of power… [Journalists] will not ask the right questions; they will not report using the correct words; they will not confront reality, and they’ve given up. Once you’ve acquired fear, it’s very difficult to get rid of it.

Too many defrauded Earthlings have been covered over with layers of old masculine guilt-laden religious texts and practices, insinuating traditional hope for eternal life while proclaiming absurd pretexts for international subjugations and combats. Until we no longer do, it seems taxpaying hirelings will continue believing statistical insinuations forecasting their deity will win over someone else’s; relishing diabolical fables insinuating the devil makes stuff happen; gazing on euphemistic diagrams representing beastly politico and religious extremists’ horrendous swindlers. Whose ride are we on, pray tell? The bankers’?

Governments [bankers] are very keen on amassing statistics. They collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams. But you must never forget that every one of these figures comes in the first instance from the village watchman, who just puts down what he damn pleases. brackets are mine
