we're constantly told about the newest 'burning issue' from all sides. later most all of these 'issues' are proven wrong, and the iraq war is a perfect example. now we're seeing sources of information of all varieties are being outlawed or removed, depending on whether its corporate or government acting, because they present other views/information. it seems that since they don't present things as 'our free press' does they're 'misinformation' and must be outlawed. seems the first amendment has joined the fourth and fifth in being removed behind the scenes and a case could easily be made for more of the constitution being ignored or over ridden. so freedom of speech is becoming much less than what once was. 

i believe it was goebbels who said if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes truth and the bigger the lie the better. if the information/opinion being presented is in opposition to official thoughts its called disinformation and prohibited. this is just one small item of concern in our current reality and if you ain't noticed i'd say either you're asleep or a true believer who finds no items of concern in the 'media' world. 

another current event that is being forced by the russians now has the empire showing that their attitude is fully dictatorial; we, the empire, are able to go where we want, anywhere and anytime for any reason. the corresponding situation is that anyone who isn't one of the vassals of the empire isn't allowed to do anything the empire opposes. so when the russian military moves its resources around within their borders the empire doesn't like that while at the same time the empire is moving all variety of human and weapon resources anywhere it likes as it insults the russians. the only thing i can imgine for all of this is the empire wants war, which involving russia, will end with nukes, that the empire says they can and will use without warning should they so choose.

the dictatorship is increasing in an obvious and oppressive way and your choice is to accept or reject with lots of obvious results.
