Mechanisms of power: Repeated lies, massive propaganda, and a compliant media.
Again, “Keep the rich happy and all others in constant fear.”
Kansas women’s doctor demonized as a terrorist, again?
A scathing circular bulk mailed to FCF recently had some very important information concerning Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline’s lack of professional care in his office as the chief law enforcement officer in the state. This critical information was largely ignored by the Kansas news media reporting of the circular, which focused instead on further demonizing the authors and a doctor who may have provided some of the funds to print it.
The contemporary news media, soaked in contradictory paid campaign ads have little time to fact check what it is paid to present to the news consumers.
News messengers kill the message.
The doctor who performs abortions in Kansas should have known that after years of being harangued as a “demon” by the many leaders of the religious death cults in Kansas, a news media would sensationalize his efforts to the point that the devoutly irrational and vindictive have on occasion attempted to kill him several times in the past.
And who can blame the hysterical who fund the massive “manufacturers of consent” propagandizing the tightly centralized elite’s message from the village weekly newspaper to the transnational television news network, a widespread message of rampant consumerism and wage slavery to a corporate command economy.
Drilled into their heads [i.e. short term personal financial gain] since infancy in every institution they attend till their inevitable appointment to the funeral parlor, little is offered in place of terror, but bargain shopping and immodest religious belief.
Those who devoutly believe not only the lies of their fearsome preachers, but the oft – repeated lies of their fearsome warmongering national elites are reliably reported to in the compliant Kansas news media.
The factual information imparted about Attorney General Phill Kline’s job performance, or more accurately his lack thereof, is ignored, even discarded by the news messengers as bunk since it is printed on paper that may have been paid for by the “demon doctor.”
Should “news consumers” expect more?
Real advocate investigative journalism is not tolerated in Kansas, most local presses, editors and publishers, largely so conservative and fearful of losing adverts and their dwindling reading audiences that an argument can easily be made that in their pursuit of the “bottom line” the news manufacturers more emulate the ignorance and avarice of the limited intellect of its readers and the advertisers sole interest; i. e. selling services and goods.
This in itself is not pathological, but more a recipe for inevitable catastrophe.
Media in the United States is largely incapable of penetrating anything of much substance, after all, the dwindling reading audiences largely from the business classes seek ever more revenues, the news media at even the local level is largely devoted to advertisements and “know what side of the bread to butter.”
What the local news media did report about the doctor’s efforts on a much broader scale was perhaps more damaging. Damaging in that it was fairly easy to ascertain that the handout came from a Wichita office within the building of a prominent pro – choice organization in Kansas.
The information delivered, quite effectively, was lost in the news coverage about the purported authors.
Reporters, thoroughly university trained in the writing skills suitable for “communicating” to an audience of neurotic nine – year olds, succeeded in demonizing the source.
The source ProKanDo, a rather benign office funded by many well meaning donors and initiated years ago by Dr. George Tiller was reported in such a fashion as to portray it as a front organization for a mass terrorist.
In Kansas, if not most of the United States, among many active members of the Christian death cults terror is the way of the world and the tool of their preference when the world disagrees.
Carefully read the controversial circular below. Then re-read the next to last paragraph citing the sources.
The circular, professionally produced, depicts in large red letters, “WARNING: Your private medical records aren’t safe from the Snoop Dog.”
On the flip-side it poses, “Think law – abiding citizens have a right to privacy? Not while Snoop Dog Kline is in office.”
“The Attorney General has made it a priority to invade our privacy. Instead of going after real criminals, Phill Kline spent the last three years snooping through women’s private medical records on a personal crusade against abortion. [1.]
“He’s not the only one who’s been invading our privacy.
While Attorney General Kline was chasing women’s private medical records, the rate of identity theft increased by nearly 77% [2.] and robberies by more more than 138% [3.]
Snoop Dog Kline.
He’s sniffing out everything but crime.”
Cited in the handout: “Check the facts: [1.] Kansas Supreme Court Case #93-383; [2.] Federal Trade Commission, Identity Theft Complaint Data Figures and Trends in Kansas, 2005; [3.] 2005 Kansas Bureau of Investigation Reported Crime Index.
The circular was from Kansans for Consumer Privacy Protection, 6505 E. Central #106, Wichita, Ks. 67206.
