One Nation Under Media
With Liberty and Justice Decided for Us
Embed:
Mainstream media has become the brain and conscience of America. It is governed by gatekeepers who not only filter information, siphoning off the excess fat or useless, repeated, un-newsworthy information, but who determine what the public should believe, say, and/or allow in our society and culture. The mainstream media has taken it upon themselves to govern America by the information it feeds us. By the way it distributes news, Americans are to know what to love, hate, believe, shun, admire, detest and so on. The sad fact is that the media has an agenda; it is one's own responsibility to search for and find the whole truth. Mel Gibson, famous for acting in many successful movies such as the "Mad Max" and "Lethal Weapons" series', "Maverick," "What Women Want," and then directing and producing movies such as "The Man Without A Face," "Braveheart," "The Passion of the Christ," and his latest, "Apocalypto," has recently been in the news for his anti-Semitic drunken tirade. His words, "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," have been publicized, by large media conglomerates as well as smaller media sources. Gibson was pulled over by police, for speeding on July 28, 2006. A breathalyzer test showed that Gibson was legally intoxicated by California state law. He was described as "uncooperative" and "belligerent." Documented below are the words of Mel Gibson to the arresting officer:
You mother fucker. I'm going to fuck you. I own Malibu. Fucking Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. Are you a Jew?... What the fuck do you think you're doing?... What do you think you're looking at sugar tits? (Jaffee, 2006)
