I think the recent FCC rulings allowing for further consolidation and monopolization of mainstream media needs to be made the number one national security issue in the US.

Sooner or later, the US citizenry needs to be able to understand how the monopolization of the mainstream media in the US by a corporate cartel is responsible for the censoring of the news on a massive scale in our society--and on a scale which simply doesn't exist in other democracies.

Sooner or later, we are going to have to check the power of global corporations, or face a rapidly deteriorating quality of life here in the US. Which has already begun, of course, if you are a California resident, a college student or a parent of one, or one of the 50% of the US prison population currently incarcerated for non-violent or petty felony drug charges.

Most of the evil in the mud has been exposed but will take a year to percolate through the United States since TV media is dragging its feet as never before.
By that time the white house will probably come up smelling like roses from some sort of October surprise.

Here is my rendition of an Oct. Surprise that is a double whammy.

I meant to add this article from the Sidney (Aus) Morning Herald, from last December:

Sidney Morning Herald story on US national security & cheap oil

The Bush doctrine is to create a perpetual "war on terrorism" citing "national security interests" in the oil producing regions of the world.

Like Nigeria, which Bush just visited, under the guise of US aid for the fight against AIDs in Africa (and if you believe that, there is another Bush in Florida, selling quagmire land for extremely cheap).

This story, originally published in the conservative Chicago daily newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, gives a good overview of the REAL reasons for going to war against Iraq:

The PBS program NOW with Bill Moyers also reported this interesting news last night, about the court ordered release of documents in the Judicial Watch lawsuit to gain FOIA access to the Energy Task Force's documents:

Moyer interview with Judicial Watch's Klayman

In last night's program, they did a follow-up on that story--now being picked up by mainstream media (including Fox and CBS Market Watch), about this:
