Thanks, Carol. This is the stuff you will not hear reported on TV. I wonder why? (no, I don't really wonder....I know why)

My mother is a TV news junkie. She watches CNN and all kinds of political shows every day. She says she hasn't heard a peep about Scott Ritter on her TV for a long, long time. Yet he is on the Internet, and saying the things that you will not hear on TV. That's because of who owns the TV stations, and who they are in cahoots with. It's Orwellian control, from the top down, like the eye of the pyramid on the dollar bill, and it works...because the average American consumer's vague and fearful impressions of reality are mostly formed by brief soundbites on his TV screen, soundbites which will not tell him the inconvenient truth about Iran...but only play on his fears and his ignorance. There is, in my opinion, virtually no hope for waking up a population which only gleans its understanding of the world from mainstream network news reporting in the United States of America.
