about

PHIL THE JANITOR: Yeh like when was the last time you saw a poor person or a homeless person interviewed on cable TV? They have no idea. No idea.

MAXINE WATSON: Exactly! So, instead you have Trump surging in the polls during the pandemic and Joe Biden becoming the Democrats alleged secret weapon after South Carolina? How is any of this even remotely possible? It’s called manufacturing consent.
Well, since Ronald Reagan, at least, US presidential elections have been reduced to a personality contest ... that is having little to do with the policies of a candidate and more to do with their name/brand recognition ... and that is how Wall Street and the corporate owned media like it, cos they can shoo in whoever gets the best TV ratings ... and in this respect Trump's daily Covid briefings … ie two hours of free publicity, are not a good sign.
By contrast, because Bernie is either ignored or generally receives negative press, he does not have as high a profile as Biden, who (despite his incompetence regarding Covid-19 and most other policy issues) still has the higher media rating. Of course, for this theory to hold water it would mean that large sections of the population would have to be manipulated, or in industry-speak, have their ‘perceptions managed,’ and most people would deny that they were victim to such manipulation … but in US presidential elections the Wall Street guy always wins—and not least because big donors often contribute to candidates from both parties—so there is hard evidence that just enough people can be manipulated just enough of the time to secure the desired result. I mean Exhibit A. Cambridge Analytica bragging they are “a behavior change agency” for crying out loud.
It is the same spend-enough-money-on-marketing-logic as to why most people buy Coke or Pepsi instead of el skiddo Cheapy Cola ... it’s hardly rocket science … you frame a product a certain way, give it a mass platform, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of success, because it dwarfs the competition ...
If anyone is gonna buck that trend it would be Bernie with the support of a movement who actually realize that manipulation is a thing and something we have to be on constant guard against. Go Bernie, if not to win the nomination, to secure a presence for the huge bloc of voters and policies that the establishment would like to pretend did not exist.

VOODOONOMICS

MELANIE GOOGELLE: Congratulations!you just earned your six-monthly interest 0.01 cents. Oo-oo ... Oops … you have a cheque that bounced 2 days ago at $30.00 … a day … and counting

Voodoomomics. Free market alchemy
SHE’S A HOT GIRL,
LIVING IN A HOT WORLD
For a perky GDP
IT’S GONNA BE A LONG HOT SUMMER
GOTTA STAY THAT LITTLE BIT COOLER
Oo-oo Voodoonomics. The economy has never been stronger
SMART WORLD
Code for record corporate profits. And yay! Inequality has never been greater. Ooops. I mean—, I meant to say … How do you say it?
I’M A SMART GIRL
Oo, try this.
LIVING IN A SMART WORLD
The cat is escaping …
SHE’S A SMART GIRL
From the bag … again.
LIVING IN A SMART WORLD

RE-TOOLING SMART-BOTS

WADE: Whaaahhh! I need you to focus.
ROSS: Well it’s all over the map … the spoilt child tantrums … the left-wing circus nonsense.
WADE: Like underground propaganda, didn’t bring the columns down then or now?
ROSS: Well yeah. I mean it would be dangerous if folks took it serious, but just ignore it I say, like they always have done, and it will go away.
WADE: Except government sub contracted to us to decipher it … so …?
ROSS: Well …it’s noticeable that all these the files don’t have date stamps …
WADE: Yeh! But what’s up with the Femi-Smart-Bot? I mean I thought they were supposed to be on our side?
ROSS: Yeh. Well I was coming to that … I mean that is the really interesting thing …
WADE: Meaning?
ROSS: Well it’s not audio deepfake
WADE: So it is serious then? Meaning these We-the-people rebels, or whatever we are calling them, have the ability to re-tool robots?

FOCK FUX NEWS

MELANIE GOOGELLE: Multiple choice … tick all boxes that apply. The Forth Estate :
A. Is asleep at the wheel because it has become an Entertainment Channel posing as Daily News
B. Does not see the entertainment value—aka the profitability—in reporting the climate emergency.
C. Not only uncritically accepts government, corporate and military spokesmen at their word … but broadcasts and amplifies their claims, as if authority figures are somehow incapable of telling lies.
D. Affirms the United States brand of capitalism as a non-negotiable force for good in the world. And
E. Pretends to be our best friend, while opening up a second front in the War on critical thinking, by acting as a Smart Wall or the Good Cop, to defend corporate power from hugely popular ideas like ... The Green New Deal ... Medicare For All ... Gun Control ... and ... making the rich actually pay their taxes.
