How The Commercial Mass Media Manipulate Voters
It’s incredible! If you listen to the Sunday political pundits on CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC,etc….:
they’re now saying that maybe ‘they themselves’, the ‘commercial mass media’ made a mistake, that maybe they were giving too much of a free ride to Barack Obama, that Obama has some kind of rock star appeal that even affects them, that maybe it was ‘their own’ unrealistic desire to see him win that blinded them, that stopped them from being critical enough towards Obama and his campaign, that they may have been too harsh on Senator Clinton, that they now say that maybe Bill Clinton has a point about saying that the press hasn’t really scrutinized Obama on Iraq and that this whole thing is a ‘Fairy Tale’, and ‘they’ (the press, commercial mass media) go on about how genuine and sincere Hillary Clinton’s expression of emotion and tears are and that maybe ‘they’ were too harsh and that that was probably what changed enough minds hours before the New Hampshire voters cast their votes, that women suddenly saw how human Senator Clinton really is!!! Strangely enough, Bill Crystol, definitely no friend of ours, saw the truth about her crocodile tears…. As far as I am concerned, Hillary was crying out of self pity and the fear that she might actually lose her chance at living in the White House and flying once more aboard Air Force One…the most comfortable place on and above Earth!!!
Please….
What is really going on is that the commercial mass media, the press, is actually deliberately playing a reverse psychology trick, a game meant to turn voters away from Senator Barack Obama!!! They know that many Americans, perhaps most, do not trust the mass media and do not like being manipulated by the mass media, and that by artificially pretending to promote Obama so much, beyond reason, they know that they can actually have the reverse effect on Obama and actually make him appear to be the corporate choice, part of the same old problem! They know that then some voters will think to themselves, ‘if the mass media is trying so hard to get me to like Obama then there must be something wrong with Obama…and so I’m voting against Obama’…. It’s the same old trick that the commercial mass media has been playing for ages on Americans and celebrities and public officials and politicians! Build them up to be almost super-heroes then pretend to be part of the public bandwagon that brings them tumbling down!
The real question is why does the commercial mass media want Obama to lose so bad???
Because they know that Senator Barack Obama is really the real CHANGE CANDIDATE and that he is what America really needs to unite the country and finally make Washington work for the people and not the corporate interests’ short-term profits-over-people agenda of continuously dividing, conquering and exploiting the people of America!!! They do not like Obama because he is the champion of ethical business practices and fair wages for working class Americans, that Obama is for truly protecting the interests of middle class American families and restoring those families to the middle class who have suffered way too much under the massively failed policies of the Bush Administration. They, the commercial mass media, the press, do not like Obama because his wise and sensible foreign policies, based on diplomacy and a surgical removal of terrorists, will bring relative peace around the world and thus there will be less hype, less shock, less NEWS to report!!!
They did it to Senator Joe Biden, to Senator Christopher Dodd, to Mike Gravel, to Kucinich, to anyone who dares tell the truth like Senator Barack Obama does! And we, the citizens of America, who understand and realize how clever the commercial mass media is in their ability to manipulate voters sentiments, we must reach out to our fellow voters and let them know that this is what is really going on! That Senator Barack Obama is the Real Change candidate, and that YES, WE TOO CAN finally stop the commercial mass media monster from destroying our HOPES and DREAMS for a better, safer and freer America, a better world! Time to let everyone know these facts!
Hillary did not FIND her own voice...the commercial mass media GAVE it to her!

An Idea I Submitted To Senator Barack Obama.
The Administration of President Barack Obama, once in office, should seek to have legislation passed that would require that officials and agents of the Federal Government, including all related State agencies and officials, be required to attend a mandatory 8 to 20 hours long Ethics, Civil Rights & Constitutionality Course every year, or every two years, in which they would learn and/or be reminded of the very dangers of corruption, of the failure to respect the Constitutional and other Civil Rights of citizens, of the fact that they, as government officials, may be investigated at any time to help insure that they are following through on their ethical and legal obligations under the Constitution.
We also need to create a strong Citizens’ Rights Ombudsman-ship Department, with Ombudspersons randomly invited from all walks of life and sectors of society. The purpose of this semi-government agency would be to give citizens a serious added measure of protection, as well as place to air legitimate grievances, against any possibly corrupt government official or agent, and whose Ombudspersons would be authorized to investigate, publicly publish all findings and seek the prosecution of any persons who are seriously suspected of having violated the Civil Rights of any and all citizens. To insure that the Ombudspersons, at least four for every State in the Union, themselves have not been corrupted, there should be a Special Internal Investigations Council of Ombudspersons which would be comprised of both current and former Ombudspersons who have not been in violation of the law, with exception to a single Misdemeanor. No Convicted Felons would be allowed to be Ombudspersons. As an added measure to insure ethical behavior on the part of Ombudspersons, they would be paid significant salaries and would be eligible for a special bonus upon successful completion of their four-year tenures. Such Ombudspersons would also be part of the following idea:
The Administration of President Barack Obama should seek to create a Federal Court of Special & Exceptional Cases, such that citizens whose grievances and problems are unusually complex and/or odd can get the attention of the Federal Government and make their case for seeking whatever possible/reasonable Federal Assistance, i.e. Legal or Financial, that by virtue of the intent of The Constitution they would be entitled to. After all, there are many persons, perhaps in the thousands, whose grievance and problems are due to some very unusual circumstances and/or experiences that cannot be addressed by any regular courts. Some likely case examples:
1. A citizen Holocaust Survivor’s (or any other Genocide’s) adult child is unable to have her/his rightful family property returned by the government of a foreign country on account of their own domestic property rights laws that are in violation of International Law, but The United States Government could represent the individual concerned in an International Court and seek reparations/damages on behalf of that U.S. citizen! The obvious benefit to the U.S. government would be that it could then discourage any future violations of the Human Rights of anyone in the world! And even if the case concerned involved a ridiculously low level of government compensation, the case would still stand up in an International Court.
2. A citizen is an exceptionally brilliant and self-educated person, what is known as an autodidact, but due to past injustices and misfortunes was unable to acquire formal accreditation that she or he would otherwise, based on the merits of their actual exceptional knowledge, experience and abilities, be entitled to. Such a person should have the right to be tested by an accredited institution of higher learning and, should they have passed the examination(s), receive the diploma they are entitled to. The government would pay for the diploma, and the recipient would then be given a fixed number of years to repay the government, pending their actual income. This opportunity would be relatively rare and unlikely to be abused, as no one in their right mind would set up their lives to have a long period of relative failure, and the benefits to society would be potentially enormous! Institutions of higher learning would offer their diplomas to such exceptional persons at a discount, and this would, once and for all, help solve the historic injustice of people who are disenfranchised simply because they were unable to afford to obtain a full higher education and associated formal accreditation, diploma, and related employment opportunities. Last but not least, society as a whole would not be at risk of forever missing-out and losing the great innovations, inventions, ideas and solutions such autodidacts tend to offer! This is truly a win-win-win solution!
3. A citizen has been through a series of unusually unfortunate misunderstandings and what not, and is somehow unable to get the public assistance they would otherwise be entitled to, but with such a Special & Exceptional Cases Court they would finally be able to explain their over-complicated case and have a Judge or Jury decide whether or not they have been denied their due.
4. A citizen lost her or his employment due to nasty pressure tactics and threats from criminal gangs or organized crime and was unable to afford, financially and security-wise, to safely take their case to court, but their Civil Rights were nonetheless denied and such a special court could judge in favor of that particular citizen receiving special federal protections, and what not, as well as representation against any entities involved in the denial of their right to employment.
5. A citizen believes that their specific religious beliefs and/or lifestyle and/or sexual identity, etc.., have been used against her or him against her or his rights, but was unable to afford legal representation and would now be able to have this Special & Exceptional Cases Court judge in their favor and connect them to the resources and representation they would need to get justice, thereby insuring that the Law is Truly Fair, Just and Blind to whether or not they can afford private representation on their own means, etc…
Such Federal Court of Special & Exceptional Cases would include in its juries Ombudspersons, thereby helping insure that no case held can be rigged against the citizen!

There Is No Such Thing As A Fascist Democracy!
The Founding Parents of America (notice ‘parents’ and not ‘fathers’) knew all too well that for America to succeed in being a true democracy it would have to have a Constitution that protects the rights of all individuals to be free from the fear of groups of individuals, vice versa. And they knew that the only way to protect the rights, in effect the freedoms and liberties, of all individuals America must be to create and maintain a country that abides by the principle of Unity-In-Diversity, Tolerance of Tolerant Others, and Separation of Religion from State-Craft, in effect Personal Beliefs from Public Interest!
The vision of America that pseudo-Republicans, Neo-Cons, and other Reactionaries have is one that is opposed to Unity-In-Diversity, Tolerance of Tolerant Others and Separation of Religion from State-Craft (more commonly referred to as Separation of Church and State). But there is something inherently idiotic and dangerous about the idea of an ‘America’ where some elite group decides which religions, which particular denominations, which ways of living, which types of persons are welcome, included and enfranchised and which are considered deviant, evil, wrong , unacceptable, incorrect, and are unwelcome, excluded and disenfranchised. After all, who decides and where does the process of weeding-out undesirables begin and stop?!?
On the other hand there are also irresponsible pseudo-liberals and fake progressives who really do go too far in the opposite direction, such as those who disrespect the conservative values of others.
That said, Responsibly Progressive Liberal Democrats understand that true Unity-In-Diversity, though requiring constant attention and effort, as well as Tolerance of Tolerant Others and Separation of Religion from State, cannot be possible when government intentionally or even inadvertently disrespects and violates the privacy and private property rights of individuals! The vision of America, the right vision, that truly Progressive Liberal Democrats, including Social Democrats and Social Libertarians, hold is an America in which there is a place for practically every life-style, every identity, every individual and every group! The only common limit is that which is defined as The True Golden Rule: Do Unto Others As They Really Want To Be Done Unto, Or Do Nothing, i.e. never force your ways unto others! True Liberals, Progressives, Democrats, and even True Republicans truly appreciate, understand and agree to enforce the True Golden Rule! For example: so long as an adult does not harm minors and only engages in intimate relations, on a truly consensual basis, with other adults; government has no business inhibiting, intimidating or in any way disrespecting the liberty and freedom of such adults. The same principle applies in relation to other issues. Some other examples: 1. Decriminalizing the possession of controlled and illegal substances, and dealing with substance abuse as a social health threat and individual health problem is the right way, not sending adults off to jail, where they are likely to become really hardcore criminals; 2. Protecting vulnerable families and minors from mentally ill people by requiring such mentally ill persons to move into specially created adults-only communities (which the government needs to create) that are built at a significant distance from families and children, and placing offenders in special rehabilitation facilities where the only relations they can have (actually encouraged) are with other adults.; 3. Reducing abortions by preventing unexpected pregnancies and prohibiting late term abortions, except in cases where the life of the woman would be at risk, etc…. The America we truly Responsible Progressive Liberal Social Democrats and Social Libertarians envision is one where individual rights, freedoms and liberties are truly protected and yet where the rights of families and groups to live their way on their own private property is also respected! We want America to be as Diverse and yet Unified-In-Diversity as reasonably possible, to truly be the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Not some kind of Fascist Regime that favors some over others, and ruins the lives of those who are different than the average, who are not born the same way, who might be persons who freely choose to live in ways quite different than those which society is commonly familiar with! We want an America that is not at serious risk of going down a slippery slope of intolerance based on the insecurity of people whose minds are full of irrational fears, hate and intolerance!
You cannot have it both ways! You cannot have an America that is only ‘Christian’ or only “Jewish’ or only “Muslim’….etcetera…or an America that is only for Conservative Family-oriented people or only for Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and what not….or an America that is only for those who are fortunate enough to be wealthy at the expense of modern-day slave laborers…or an America that is only for the majority… and still have the real America, the America of democracy, freedom of speech, liberty and respect for human rights! Either you have a truly Democratic America which is thus based on true tolerance, freedom and liberty or you always end up having a Fascist Regime that ends up destroying even the very select few it is meant to serve!
The real American Way is about NOT WANTING TO IMPOSE YOUR WAY OF LIFE ON OTHER ADULTS but about understanding the difference between public spaces and private spaces!
It’s that simple, and that is why Senator Barack Obama is the right choice for our country, especially as it has been suffering from the most dangerous assault yet from both within and without!

Why I Support Senator Obama Over Clinton.
by Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo, Philosopher.
Senator Hillary Clinton may yet become our first Lady President, and even Senator Barack Obama would encourage us to vote for her, if she won all the Primaries, but I have taken the trouble to make a thorough comparison of the two front-runner Democratic Party Primary candidates and here is what I have found:
1. Experience. The one most powerful argument, many say, that Senator Clinton and her supporters have in her favor is that she has more experience in governing than her opponents. Well, is that really true? I think the evidence shows that this is actually not the truth. Experience?!? Senator Barack Obama does not have as much Washington-based political and government experience as Senator Clinton does, but what do we mean by 'experience'? Do we mean by experience that someone has been taught to behave according to the status-quo power elite? In that case it is wonderful that Senator Barack Obama does not have that kind of NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE. But if by experience we mean actual hands-on people experience, honest social and political activism and down-to-earth governance; then Obama has infinitely more experience!!! And in those areas where Senator Obama lacks direct experience he has shown that he has enough 'good and useful experience' to know better than to assume, as both Bush and Clinton do, that he knows everything that matters and does not need to seek and listen to the counsel of others! Senator Barack Obama has the wisdom to LISTEN to others, even to people who are not part of the 'experienced' political elite! So, as far as I am concerned Senator Barack Obama is more positively experienced than Senator Clinton. Obama wins on POSITIVE EXPERIENCE!
2. Domestic Agenda. In terms of the domestic agenda both candidates, both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, share many things in common. And Senator Clinton is a bit better at working with organized labor's leadership...for now. But the misperception that Senator Obama is anti-labor, anti-union, is absolute nonsense! Yes, Obama has had to face a few questionable and even corrupt officials, but all in all Senator Barack Obama is all for strengthening the rights of organized labor union members, for improving conditions and wages for working class Americans and doing so without harming the ability of American businesses to survive and remain competitive on the world markets. Actually it was President Bill Clinton who made it easier for big business to disrespect the rights of working class Americans, and Bush just managed to exploit those bad laws to do even more damage and harm organized labor and the rights of workers to expect fair wages and decent workig conditions! But when it comes to uniting America, and to improving relations between all American communities, to strengthening respect for minorities of all types and for the basic principle of UNITY-IN-DIVERSITY; Senator Barack Obama has an INFINITE advantage over Senator Clinton! Senator Barack Obama is going to give millions of young Americans, especially minorities, proof that they too can benefit from participating in their democracy and that the Presidency is open to all Americans who qualify by factor of their specific ideas and solutions and by factor of ethnicity, so-called race, sexual identity or whatever! Senator Clinton has been, is, and will be perceived as TOO DIVISIVE for most Americans and will not be able to heal the nation and unite the country, especially at a time when our country is facing real threats! Senator Obama's ideas for solving the nation's healthcare and health insurance crises are actually more realistic and better for America than those of Senator Clinton. Her ideas will inadvertently do much more harm than good. In general Senator Obama wants to insure adequate health-care to those whose incomes are just not enough, which means over 40% of Americans, while leaving those who can afford to get adequate insurance and care to fend for themselves. Senator Clinton would actually wreck almost all private health care in America and would mean an even greater windfall for the pill-popping pharmaceuticals. Senator Obama would only seek to have government interven in those areas and for those people whose situation would otherwise be truly tragic, in effect those who cannot afford the same kind of healthcare and insurance that Senators are entitled too! Selective assistance (Obama's plans) versus gigantic ineffective beaurocracy (Clinton's plan). Senator Clinton would do little to nothing to undo the negative, intrusive and un-Constitutional eavesdropping and fear-mongering, police state situation we have right now! So, Obama is much better for our domestic in so many ways! OBAMA WINS ON DOMESTIC POLICY!
3. Foreign Policy. Senator Clinton will do pretty well on foreign policy in the first year, but she will not be able to convince the world that America is sincere about undoing the great harm the Bush Administration has done, and by her second year the world will be back to the same old situation. Senator Barack Obama is a God-send, for he will be a mix of incredibly powerful and positive diplomacy on the one hand and a willingness to really go after the real enemies of America and the world, one and the same, the terrorist, no matter what type! He will be able to encourage moderate and progressive Arabs, as well as Muslims elsewhere, that America is no longer in the hands of crazy people who were seeking to create an eternal war between civilizations! He will motivate relatively moderate Muslim nations to work with America against all terrorists! Senator Clinton cannot begin to compete on this level with Senator Obama! Sure, her husband President Clinton, is much liked by many in the world who otherwise no longer trust the United States, but even he cannot beat Senator Barack Obama's ability to convince the world that America is open for fair trade, honest business, peace-building and prosperity generation!
Obama wins big on FOREIGN POLICY!
4. Character. Senator Obama is a very confident, calm-headed gentleman (similar to Senator Joe Biden) and he is also VERY VERY human! Senator Clinton, though she seems to mean well, has shown over and over again that she is willing to behave in a way that is so unbecoming of her status, as if she had a right to be President! The way the Clintons have attacked Senator Obama has actually shocked many Democrats, and even more Indepedents! After what she and Bill did to Obama in New Hampshire polls show many of those the Clinton's like to show-off as their supporters are having a change of heart! On character Obama wins significantly!
5. Electability. Senator Clinton is very risky, as she is unable to attract independent and swing voters the way Senator Barack Obama can! Yes, Senator Barack Obama is very much liked by most Americans who truly understand how much trouble our country is in! Hillary is not even liked by all Democrats!
The opportunists, the corrupt mass media pundits who serve the status-quo elite will try to convince you that Senator Barack Obama is not ready...BUT MOST AMERICANS WILL NO LONGER LISTEN TO ALL THOSE LIES!
Now, you decide! Because YES YOU CAN make a real difference!
Senator Hillary Clinton may yet become our first Lady President, and even Senator Barack Obama would encourage us to vote for her, if she won all the Primaries, but I have taken the trouble to make a thorough comparison of the two front-runner Democratic Party Primary candidates and here is what I have found:
1. Experience. The one most powerful argument, many say, that Senator Clinton and her supporters have in her favor is that she has more experience in governing than her opponents.

Do we mean by experience that someone has been taught to behave according to the status-quo power elite? In that case it is wonderful that Senator Barack Obama does not have that kind of NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE. But if by experience we mean actual hands-on people experience, honest social and political activism and down-to-earth governance; then Obama has infinitely more experience!!! And in those areas where Senator Obama lacks direct experience he has shown that he has enough 'good and useful experience' to know better than to assume, as both Bush and Clinton do, that he knows everything that matters and does not need to seek and listen to the counsel of others! Senator Barack Obama has the wisdom to LISTEN to others, even to people who are not part of the 'experienced' political elite! So, as far as I am concerned Senator Barack Obama is more positively experienced than Senator Clinton. Obama wins on POSITIVE EXPERIENCE!
2. Domestic Agenda. In terms of the domestic agenda both candidates, both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, share many things in common. And Senator Clinton is a bit better at working with organized labor's leadership...for now. But the misperception that Senator Obama is anti-labor, anti-union, is absolute nonsense! Yes, Obama has had to face a few questionable and even corrupt officials, but all in all Senator Barack Obama is all for strengthening the rights of organized labor union members, for improving conditions and wages for working class Americans and doing so without harming the ability of American businesses to survive and remain competitive on the world markets. Actually it was President Bill Clinton who made it easier for big business to disrespect the rights of working class Americans, and Bush just managed to exploit those bad laws to do even more damage and harm organized labor and the rights of workers to expect fair wages and decent workig conditions! But when it comes to uniting America, and to improving relations between all American communities, to strengthening respect for minorities of all types and for the basic principle of UNITY-IN-DIVERSITY; Senator Barack Obama has an INFINITE advantage over Senator Clinton! Senator Barack Obama is going to give millions of young Americans, especially minorities, proof that they too can benefit from participating in their democracy and that the Presidency is open to all Americans who qualify by factor of their specific ideas and solutions and by factor of ethnicity, so-called race, sexual identity or whatever! Senator Clinton has been, is, and will be perceived as TOO DIVISIVE for most Americans and will not be able to heal the nation and unite the country, especially at a time when our country is facing real threats! Senator Obama's ideas for solving the nation's healthcare and health insurance crises are actually more realistic and better for America than those of Senator Clinton. Her ideas will inadvertently do much more harm than good. In general Senator Obama wants to insure adequate health-care to those whose incomes are just not enough, which means over 40% of Americans, while leaving those who can afford to get adequate insurance and care to fend for themselves. Senator Clinton would actually wreck almost all private health care in America and would mean an even greater windfall for the pill-popping pharmaceuticals. Senator Obama would only seek to have government interven in those areas and for those people whose situation would otherwise be truly tragic, in effect those who cannot afford the same kind of healthcare and insurance that Senators are entitled too! Selective assistance (Obama's plans) versus gigantic ineffective beaurocracy (Clinton's plan). Senator Clinton would do little to nothing to undo the negative, intrusive and un-Constitutional eavesdropping and fear-mongering, police state situation we have right now! So, Obama is much better for our domestic in so many ways! OBAMA WINS ON DOMESTIC POLICY!
3. Foreign Policy. Senator Clinton will do pretty well on foreign policy in the first year, but she will not be able to convince the world that America is sincere about undoing the great harm the Bush Administration has done, and by her second year the world will be back to the same old situation. Senator Barack Obama is a God-send, for he will be a mix of incredibly powerful and positive diplomacy on the one hand and a willingness to really go after the real enemies of America and the world, one and the same, the terrorist, no matter what type! He will be able to encourage moderate and progressive Arabs, as well as Muslims elsewhere, that America is no longer in the hands of crazy people who were seeking to create an eternal war between civilizations! He will motivate relatively moderate Muslim nations to work with America against all terrorists! Senator Clinton cannot begin to compete on this level with Senator Obama! Sure, her husband President Clinton, is much liked by many in the world who otherwise no longer trust the United States, but even he cannot beat Senator Barack Obama's ability to convince the world that America is open for fair trade, honest business, peace-building and prosperity generation!
Obama wins big on FOREIGN POLICY!
4. Character. Senator Obama is a very confident, calm-headed gentleman (similar to Senator Joe Biden) and he is also VERY VERY human! Senator Clinton, though she seems to mean well, has shown over and over again that she is willing to behave in a way that is so unbecoming of her status, as if she had a right to be President! The way the Clintons have attacked Senator Obama has actually shocked many Democrats, and even more Indepedents! After what she and Bill did to Obama in New Hampshire polls show many of those the Clinton's like to show-off as their supporters are having a change of heart! On character Obama wins significantly!
5. Electability. Senator Clinton is very risky, as she is unable to attract independent and swing voters the way Senator Barack Obama can! Yes, Senator Barack Obama is very much liked by most Americans who truly understand how much trouble our country is in! Hillary is not even liked by all Democrats!
The opportunists, the corrupt mass media pundits who serve the status-quo elite will try to convince you that Senator Barack Obama is not ready...BUT MOST AMERICANS WILL NO LONGER LISTEN TO ALL THOSE LIES!
Now, you decide! Because YES YOU CAN make a real difference!
