This Valentine’s Day let us give a present to our sweetheart–the sweet land of liberty. Let us end the savagery of an evil cloud on on airwaves. Let us end the pollution. Let us lift the cloak of evil–let us send the “Savage” to his inevitable bunker or irrelevancy.

“I deemed [one of] the essential principles of our government [to be] peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none. …” Thomas Jefferson, First inaugural address in 1801.

We have been in the forefront of the fight to keep America free.PERPETUAL & MIMETIC WAR: Saving Camelot from becoming the Orwellian “Brazil”

“War is Peace.” Big Brother

Ending black laws. Reinstating the Fairness Doctrine: Ending black laws that muzzled the “Fairness Doctrine”. Choking Hate radio from spewing bigotry fair.

“fathers bury sons, rather than sons, fathers.” Herodotus:

George Orwell come to Islamabad

The United States did not become the citadel of democracy because of elections and a Congress elected by the people. America became a beacon of freedom because all sections of society had a voice on the air. When all points of view are are aired on the air, we can make and fair and informed judgement on issues.

“Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the dominion of the few. … No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” James Madison 1795:

There are many visions for the future. One ruled by Big Brother. One ruled by law and justice and without wants and need. Chernyshevskij’s boundless optimism, from Chto delat’ (tr. Michael R. Katz):

” ‘Life’s great happiness resides in my sister, the goddess,’ says the elder sister.

‘But you see that every kind of happiness exists here, whatever anyone desires. Everyone lives, as he desires; each and every person has complete will, yes, free will. … What we’ve shown you will not soon reach its full development in the form that you’ve just seen. Many generations will pass before everything which you can now forsee is to be fully realized. …

Tell everyone that the future will be radiant and beautiful. Love it, strive toward it, work for it, bring it nearer, transfer into the present as much as you can from it. To the extent that you succeed in doing so, your life will be bright and good, rich in joy and pleasure. Strive toward it, work for it, bring it nearer, transfer into the present as much as you can from it’.”

It is ironic that the Orwellian “1984” began in 1987 when the Fariness Doctrine was muzzled and the airwaves were handed over to the favorite prodigal sons.

In 1987, in one of the worst blows to the free press, a draconian law was passed which gave licenses to nefarious and evil people. Not only these horribly bigots polluted the air, these bigots were beholden to certain groups and vested interest. Enter Ruport Murdock with his demented world view and Neocon philosophy.

In a few years, all channels began parroting the same views. Freedom of the press was muzzled and the channels became one monolithic tirade against the most vulnerable sections of our society. The Code words kicked in. The Code word against women were created; The welfare mother became the worst enemy; “crime” was used as a code word against African Americans; “immigration” was the code words against minorities.

Dostoyevskiy wrote “Zapiski iz podpol’ia, Notes from the Underground” in response to Chernyshevsky “Chto delat.” Dostoyevskiy did not agree with Chernyshevsky. He saw Chernyshevsky’s utopian ‘Crystal Palace‘ as stripping humanity of its dignity and free will. Dostoyevskiy preferred Christianity to a socialist utopia. The “blasphemous” chapter of Zapiski iz podpol’ia that offered Christianity as an alternative to socialism was heavily censored and the manuscript does not survive.” Had Dostoyevskiy been able to propagate his utopian vision of the future, the USSR would have had a different future.

The worst vision of the future is Terry Gillian’s “Brazil” where vignettes of Big Brother are ubiquitous. Citizens in Terry Gilliam’s Orwellian nightmare “Brazil” live in fear as terrorists terrorize. The government posts propaganda across the state sporting slogans like “Happiness – We Are All In This Together” and “Trust In Haste, Regret In Leisure”.

Rep. Maurice Hinchey is targeting right-wing radio.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — More and more Democrats in Congress are calling for action that Republicans warn could muzzle right-wing talk radio.

Representative Maurice Hinchey, a Democrat from New York is the latest to say he wants to bring back the “Fairness Doctrine,” a federal regulation scrapped in 1987 that would require broadcasters to present opposing views on public issues.

“I think the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated,” Hinchey told CNNRadio. Hinchey says he could make it part of a bill he plans to introduce later this year overhauling radio and t-v ownership laws.

Listen: Hinchey says he wants to make talk-radio more fair

Democratic Senators Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Tom Harkin of Iowa added their voices recently to those calling for a return of the regulation.

Republicans oppose the Fairness Doctrine, arguing it would be wrong for the federal government to monitor political speech on the airwaves, in order to require opposing views.

Republican Congressman Greg Walden, a former owner of five radio stations in Oregon including a “classic rock” station joked that the Fairness Doctrine is “the musical equivalent” of “every time we’d play a classic rock song we’d have to play a polka!” CNN Radio’s Dick Uliano

Michael Weiner became Michael Savage, and Rush Limbaugh roared from his bully pulpit. We saw the war hysteriaia, torture, and whole sale deportation of citizens and permanent residents on flimsy excuses. We saw gross violations of our constitutional rights–all propagated by a section of the right wing press that wanted to impose their own agenda not only on our shores but also around the world.

Vested interests concentrated our media in a few hands. Ruport Murdock’s fingers were everywhere. Big Brother was ubiquitous. 1984 was everywhere.

Now that some semblance of sanity has returned to Washington, the black draconian laws also need to be eliminated so that once again our airwaves can be permeated with freedom and the true spirit of democracy

There is a war on for the soul of America. On the one hand is our glorious constitution, and the vision of the founding fathers, on the other hand is a band of “Bolsheviks” who are corrupting the original message. Dennis Kucinich is one of the partisans waging peace against those who are corrupting the message of the American revolution.

The Neocons seem to be taking the scripts right out of “1984?, to malign and destroy the original vision of the founding fathers of America? My land is being infested with the disease that is eating away at every fiber of our society. Where did it all begin? Perhaps it was the Iran-Contra affair? Was it the fact that Casper Wienberger, Elliot Abrams and others were pardoned and seemed to get away with “murder”. Libby and others got away.

Was it the beginning of the termite infestation that is destroying our noble experiment in democracy and freedom?  In one vision of the future, in the classic novel, 1984, the most potent political tool was: perpetual warfare, Mimetic Warfare, and protracted warfare for the maintenance of state power over individual citizens. It is amazing that they are following the script so closely.

If the world does not have three powers, we are attempting to create three super states rivalry (USA, China and Europe–see Parag Khanna’s “2nd world”).  The Neocons seem to be celebrating perpetual warfare. Those who seem to be thriving on created crises, seem to be trying to goad us into a certain paradigm.

The propagation of perpetual protracted and mimetic war could have been scripted by Orwell himself and runs contrary to the basic foundations of our land

“the great challenge of our new century.” “to enslave whole nations and intimidate the world..” murderous ideology” violent, political vision”.. “to develop weapons of mass destruction” … “to intimidate Europe, to assault the American people, and to blackmail our government into isolation.”

“When war becomes literally continuous, it also ceases to be dangerous. When war is continuous, there is no such thing as military necessity. Technical progress can cease and the most palpable facts can be denied or disregarded. But though it is unreal, it is not meaningless. It eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that a hierarchical society needs.” Big Brother:

“Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the dominion of the few. … No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” James Madison 1795:

“So long as there’s Al Qaeda anywhere, we will help the host countries root them out,” Senator Byrd:

“if we expect to kill every terrorist in the world, that’s going to keep us going beyond doomsday,”

“War, however, is no longer the desperate annihilating struggle that it was in the early decades of the twentieth century. It is a warfare of limited aims between combatants who are unable to destroy one another. …” Big Brother:

”Happiness – We Are All In This Together” and “Trust In Haste, Regret In Leisure“.Brazil:

“War is Peace.”Big Brother:

“fathers bury sons, rather than sons, fathers.” Herodotus:

Terry Gilliam’s Orwellian nightmare “Brazil” is an information-crazy society that in many ways resembles a world in which the Nazis did not lose World War II”, “a world, where everyone is obsessed with shopping, and in order to get anything done within the world of government there is paperwork to be filled out, and filled out and on and on, “a place where information is of the utmost importance and the individual is not as important as the paper receipts which bear their name.”

The Orwellian oligarchic Oceania was always at war with an elusive Eurasia or an ephemeral Eastasia-can we keep track?-the “war to end all wars“, “the cold war”. Egged on by the Neocons, the “war on terror,” has now been transformed into a “war on Radical Islam” which, will continue indefinitely. Is indefinitely just another word for forever? Isn’t forever going to at doomsday? Are we talking of “rapture“?  Iraq, Afghanistan..who is next on the list? Are Iran and North Korea next? How much more?

We are over stretched and bankrupt in many ways. Moral authority has been one of the great assets of America? Are we losing that? We are targeting alleged terrorists in 50-to-60 countries using the poorest of the poor as cannon fodder and have already spent $200 Billion. America is the beacon of freedom. Is this light dimming in Camelot? Michael Moore described the use of “fear” eloquently in his “9-11? documentary. Internally our freedoms are at stake.

In “1984” the elite “Inner Party” rule rattled the irradiated citizens of Oceania through three conduits of fear and intimidation: surveillance, terrorism, and perpetual warfare.  Are the Oceanians with their two-way TV screens less efficient than our Department of Homeland Security satellites, surveillance, racial profiling, torture, and outsourced torture via deportations.

REVIVING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: We should be paying attention to some of the golden rules of governance that need to be adhered to. When I reiterate the principles laid down by some of the most intelligent brains on the planet, the founding fathers of our great country, some rebut it is “not valid anymore”.

“I deemed [one of] the essential principles of our government [to be] peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none. …” Thomas Jefferson, First inaugural address in 1801.

“There is no position which depends on clearer principles than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the commission under which it is exercised, is void.” Alexander Hamilton stated it succinctly in The Federalist (#78):

“It is the providence and duty of the Executive to preserve to the Nation the blessings of peace. The Legislature alone can interrupt those blessings, by placing the Nation in a state of War.” 1793, Alexander Hamilton

“The Constitution supposes, what the history of all governments demonstrates, that the executive is the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone to it. It has accordingly with studied care, vested the question of war in the legislature.” James Madison 1798

“Allowing the executive to decide unilaterally ‘the question of war’ will be tantamount to … potentially setting the stage for ‘continued warfare,’ a condition in which liberty cannot long survive.” Norman Grigg

How do we take our government back? We will find out if we can do this quickly, or if it will take a long time. We need to pump some “backbone” into the “other party”!
