Other than http://www.democracynow.org we have no independent media in this country that is owned & operated for, by and of the uber rich. Americans fell asleep in front of the television sets & did nothing as the GOP systematically stripped us of our rights & devoured the system of checks and balances necessary for a democratic republic to function. As a people Americans are stupid, fat & lazy; we deserve the slave state we find ourselves in.
People still believe Reagan is a god & unions are evil; they’ve swallowed so much kool aid we can forget about any meaningful reform; only a small minority of Americans are sufficiently educated to form opinions based upon reality, while the majority will find a ‘Hitler’ to throw their support & the results will be a disaster. Sure we are seeing a turnaround in Wisconsin but there has been little protest coming from the much larger state of Michigan that is now passing a much more draconian law that will allow appointed tzars freedom to dissolve democratically-elected governments, and give the property to private corporations that are now fully ‘artificial persons’ and they will pillage public property for private profit.
The media will crow about how lucky we are to live here in the United States: we’re truly fucked.
