CNN's David Gergen's criticism of Barack Obama's Oval Office Speech and the United States Military

CNN's David Gergen's criticism of Barack Obama's 6/15/10; Oval Office speech to the nation on the BP Gulf Oil Crisis and the need for comprehensive energy policy hints at his approaching senility.

Noting the martial metaphors within Barack Obama's speech CNN's David Gergen fumigated, like a blow fish puffing it's asphyxiation under the master chefs knife and I paraphrase: He (David Gergen) is glad the United States Military does not go to war like that.  With the implication that Barack Obama's oval office speech lacked battle orders and specifics and the United States Military wages war with strategy and specified tactics.

Now this is a clear example of amnesiac revision.  CNN's David Gergen has conveniently and expediently revised George W. Bush's Iraq War, which was waged without strategy nor, tactics with it's only clarity being a boon for Haliburton, Black Water and the other denizens of the military-industrial imperative.

Need I mention another flaing United States Military disorganization, The Vietnam War?

NBC's The Today Show, Black-American Culture and Bias Within the Editorial-Perogatives of Corporate Media

Avid and regular viewers of NBC's popular morning program, The Today Show, will have to at a certain point ask: Where is the reflection of Black-American culture, it's content in The Today Show's programming.


The Today Show has stacked a viable portion of it's programming on it's idea of the empathy, sympathy dynamic of people's lives and the Human Condition.  So there is the obligatory sob story of a family's loss, it's grief and anguish which 99.9% of the time is White-American oriented, reflective of The Today Show's bias.


So what are the implications and insinuations?  That Black-American families are incapable of experiencing loss, grief, anguish and are unworthy of the empathy and sympathy dynamic threaded within the national cultural narrative.


there is an aspect of bias within the editorial-perogatives of the nations corporate media shown by NBC's Today Show that has nothing to do with it's equal opportunity and affirmative employment practices.  But is insidious in it's omission of portraying Black-American culture in prosaic, generic and mundane settings which intellectually lend it's bias familiarity.

Public Relations, BP Gulf Oil Crisis, The Oil Industry, Lower Gas Price and the United States Market

In light of the fiasco and public relations disaster of the BP Gulf Oil Crisis for the oil industry, the oil industry has decided and made a business calculation to lower gas price for the United States market.

True to form, corporate media and shills for the oil industry have struggled to explain away the comedy of the dramatic drop in gas price since the disaster of the deep water horizon oil rig and the resulting BP Gulf Oil crisis, but the oil industry has it's very own past logic against it.

Historically the United States market has experienced the oil industry using any and all incidents to justify gas price increase.  So using that calculus and metric, gas price because of the BP Gulf Oil crisis should be soaring but is not, instead there is a steady decline.

The  oil industry has decided now is not the time to further incite and enrage the United States market considering the BP Gulf Oil Crisis and the public's view of the oil industry is at an all time low an increase in gas price.

British Petroleum, The BP Gulf Oil Crisis, Barack Obama Big Bad Government and Corporate Bail Outs

Our national pastime is not Baseball it's rather schizophrenia.  The British Petroleum, BP Gulf Oil Crisis is once again reminding us of this.

Barack Obama and the Democratic controlled congress were maligned, pilloried and indicted by insidious Republican-Conservatism and the Political-Economy challenged because of the various corporate bail outs taken during the Presidency's beginnings.  The argument was Barack Obama was Big Bad Government gobbling up private enterprise thus interfering in the fictitious free-market imperative!

Then came really Big Bad British Petroleum, BP and mile deep arrogance and incompetence in the Gulf of Mexico---The BP Gulf Oil Crisis.  Now what do we hear cries, wails, gnashing of teeth, chest beatings for Big Bad Government to intercede with it's "socialistic", evil spending ways to clean up the mess.

My point is:  Wasn't cleaning up the mess the point with Barack Obama's various corporate bail outs?

The 5/20/10; Spectacle at an Iranian Hotel Lobby, Organized Violence, Espionage and Humanitarian Gesture Naivete

On 5/20/10; The world woke up to the  spectacle of three American mothers, Norah Shourd, Laura Fattal and Cindy Hickey having physical contact at an Iranian hotel lobby with their children, Sara Shourd, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal who are imprisoned by Iranian organized violence under the guise of espionage.

There is this recurring naivete consistently displayed by enemies of the United States, particularly it's Third World enemies as Iran.

Does anyone in their right mind believe or dare imagine the United States and it's organized violence permitting relatives of it's detained and imprisoned suspects of espionage physical contact visits and a press conference as the Islamic Republic of Iran permitted it's detained Americans with their mothers?

Iran's thinking and calculation is by allowing such a visit as a humanitarian gesture it shows the world a face that is at odds with it's antagonistic international.  But the problem with this calculation and it's phenomena by Iran, it's past practitioners, Libya, Saddam Hussein's Iraq, North Korea and all those Third World nations who naively pursue it, is: It never accomplishes the intent of polishing their image nor mitigating the antagonisms.  Instead it only reinforces the prejudices against them while undermining their sovereign motive imperative.  A quick example of this is if Iran felt that seriously about it's espionage charges against Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal why would Iran undercut it's severity by permitting the spectacle of 5/20/10; at an Iranian hotel lobby.

CNN's Anchor Don Lemon a Token, Collaborator Who Allowed Ari Fleisher, A Zionist to Exploit the Black-American Experience

CNN's Anchor Don Lemon has long sinced griped that to some in the Black community he's nothing more than a token, collaborator who parrots his master's narrative peppered with the practically irrelevant therapeutic tale of a Justice Clarence Thomas like against all odds lament.

On 6/6/10; during an interview of Ari Fleisher, a Zionist protagonist.  Don Lemon allowed and permitted Ari Fleisher without any objection to compare Helen Thomas's observation that Jew's in Israel should return to their European homelands with Black-Americans being told to return to Africa.

Make whatever one makes of Helen Thomas comments, but Ari Fleisher's feeble attempt at comparing Israel's pathetic and unjust struggle against the Palestinian people with the moral equivalency of the Black-American experience and the Cold War of American Racism, only shows his cognizance that Israel's Palestinian question is untenable.  Fleisher's case would be to compare Thomas comments with European invaders and Colonizers of North America being told to return to European ancestral lands, because both lands Palestine and North America share the commonality of European invasions.

True to form CNN's Don Lemon's silence in the face of Ari Fleisher exploiting the Black-American Experience is another fact in Don Lemon's continuum of being a token and collaborator.

Helen Thomas, Israel, Native Americans and Palestinian Submission

Helen Thomas, the iconic presence at White House Press briefings, a long standing member of the White House Press Corps.  Recently made off the cuff remarks concerning Israel.  Specifically that Israel-European occupiers of occupied Palestine should return to their homelands, Poland, Germany, United States, e.c.t

Naturally her critics and apologist for Israel and it's occupation of Palestine want Helen Thomas head.  My point is this: If Helen Thomas, an 89 year old member of American main stream society and a disseminator of it's historical narrative can break ranks with it's theology, particularly the blind see no evil support for Israel and viscerally denounce the mythology of Israel's right to exist on occupied Palestine what sort of future is Israel and it's apologist anticipating?

What is it a race to the Apocalypse and it's delusions?  Because it is clear that unless the Zionist imperative exterminates the Palestinian people, Palestinian submission does not seem to be on the horizon.

Helen Thomas is not the problem.  The problem is the idealistic expectation and romantic fancy by Israel and it's apologist that what European invaders and colonizers managed to do to Native Americans and Black people during the 17th century through the present, Israel and the Zionist imperative can do to the Palestinian people.

Arizona's Republican-Conservatism Government and Illegal Immigration

If Arizona's Republican-Conservatism Government is serious about Illegal Immigration, that it seditiously usurps the federal governments authority and encroaches on it's responsibility by passing it's own state law on immigration.  Which practically profiles conspicuous Latinos and Hispanics and is not a political ploy to further the pursuit of speculative power and it's trappings by certain elements within Arizona's Republican-Conservatism cabal.

Why hasn't Arizona's Republican-Conservatism Government held back a portion of it's federal tax receipts obligation and apply it's Secure the Border slogan with it?

Does anyone in Arizona truly believe a heavily armed Illegal Immigrant involved in criminal activity will suddenly start quaking in their boots of a Jacksonian Law on paper?
