America the Beautiful
It's for all the men in all the concentration camps--excuse me, "detention centers"--the women of Darfur--the Serbians of Kosovo and the Kosovars of Serbia--a voice for those who cannot speak. What my heart feels after watching F9/11, "Control Room" and the screener of "The Corporation" this week. It's for the bloody capitalists I am working for. It's for a half million dollar...

Thanks for the info in the codemonkey group. I'm waiting for DoD to try to backdoor me again. This seems to be a regular occurance, in the beginning of the month. I do, however, live right in the capital of California, I could practically peak my head out the window and spit on the capital. There are a lot of government buildings here, maybe, somehow there is a mix-up or maybe I've associated with the wrong computer geeks and now I've been added to the watch list, j/k.
I doubt DoD's got a watch list, I hope.

For all those beaten, for the broken heads,
The fosterless, the simple, the oppressed,
The ghosts in the burning city of our time
For those taken in rapid cars to the house and beaten
By the skillful boys with the rubber fists,
-Held down and beaten, the table cutting the loins
Or kicked in the groin and left, with the muscles jerking
Like a headless...

Is there, uh, something going on at home that we should all know about?
Bad day at work?

A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.
Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peace time, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.

Oh yeah one further point I didin't mention in my absurdly long post in your journal LOL: the Lonergans were on a reef less than two miles (3km) from a permanent pontoon with a divemaster on duty. Given their excellent health and swimming ability and the good weather its very odd that they couldn't swim to shore. Also a number of boats were in the area where they were "lost" and reported that it was dead calm... yet no cry for help was heard and they were not seen. Even odder that no bodies were ever found.

your journal entry makes my head hurt...

Well as for who may have caused edits in F9/11:
"I hired the toughest team of fact checkers I could find, lawyers
and head counsel from The New Yorker," Harvey Weinstein said
in an e-mail response to questions from The Associated Press. "
We invited them to be tough -- and they were. All journalism should
be this careful."

you wrote, "This is the media fulfilling its hegemonistic function as "gatekeepers" keeping people from being exposed to the news that advertisers or the military-industrial complex don't want them to hear."
So what could the alternative be? A non-profit news agency! I usually take most of what NPR and PBS reports as gospel, only because it's harder to hype things if you have brains and no budget. Of course, some still regard those forums as "the biased liberal media". hogwash.
Thanks for a good read, even though I 'spect you're preachin' to the choir 'round these here parts..
