Wakeful Video Weekend 2022-04-01 (12 videos) – With Important Comments

Request: Please share with others. I, for example, can no longer share on Facebook, having been locked out of my account.

BIG NOTE: Criminal YouTube! In the past it (and its owner Google) have quietly changed their algorithms shadow-blocking people who dared to expose bad things done by our oligarchy. Example: hardly anybody finds my blog anymore. But now YouTube went utterly blatant deleting ALL former Chris Hedges’ “On Contact” episodes. Years of work of him (and me, too, since I shared many of his episodes here). It is a crime committed against the free press / free speech guaranteed to us by our First Amendment. But our criminal oligarchs have long stopped abiding our constitution and civil right laws. I will now increasingly look for alternative video websites. If you can suggest good ones, I will appreciate your suggestion(s). And please share posts like this one with interested people who won’t find them otherwise.

Summary: media censorship, lack of corporate accountability, revolution mindset, civil rights …

QuickyPinion: Trump-Ukraine BS

I can only hope that a growing number of people today refuses to let themselves be played by bullcrap stories in the media and corrupted party politics. It is only the constant blare about Trump and Ukraine – just as idiotic and designed 100% to meddle with people’s minds while distracting them from real issues – that has pushed me to write this little commentary today.

Let me break it down into a few short questions and answers:

Question 1: Why is Trump’s using government money to hurt the reputation of a potential presidential D-Party candidate a minor issue? Answer: Because we have much bigger issues, and – funny enough – even this tiny issue contains a much bigger element of concern within itself: namely the exposed corruption of the Biden family. Is exposing corruption of government officials and their family member allies really an offense when funded with government money? A rather arguable issue, isn’t it?

Question 2: Why don’t I care about impeaching Trump on the Ukraine affair? Answer: (A) Because he has committed much worse – and much less arguable – offenses that he could be impeached on. What’s the last count I heard of them? Seventeen, maybe? (B) Impeaching him successfully would only get us Mike Pence as President, a nightmare creature probably worse than Trump (which may be why Trump picked him). (C) All the Trump-mania (including impeachment drooling) is being used to distract us from our real issues like democracy, healthcare, and lives worth living. (D) The impeachment process, so slyly constructed on such a minor and highly defeatable issue when so many better ones are looming out there, may not only distract us from actually important issues but even be designed to lock up Bernie Sanders in Senate hearings and thus keep him from campaigning, a truly desirable goal by our corrupt ‘elites’ represented by both major parties.

I recommend we focus on our issues of real importance, and once we have created a real democracy, we indite all our living former presidents and other criminal government officials for their crimes. Impeachment is like a peach. Criminals deserve more than a mere peach for punishment.

I. Satire: Corporate War on the Media

… as you can see, it’s not only happening in the U.S. (where it has already come close to the end, crushing truth-telling as good as completely):

(Note: If the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for thejuicemedia and the title: “Honest Government Ad | The ABC”)

Note: This reminds me of our own public broadcasting institutions which have been secretly taken over by corporate money due to insufficient public funding, so that even they largely march in step with the big corporate media channels, raining the establishment propaganda on us and avoiding to tell us the truth about the oligarchy’s evil doings. Defend Free Press and whistleblowers (like Manning and Assange) anyone? Anyone in the big media? What’s that I’m hearing? A bird whistling? Wind blowing tumbleweed?

Making a Chilling Example of a Truth Teller

Great interview concerning the Julian Assange case. I fully agree that this case is an effort to make a chilling example of a truth-telling journalist so that no-one ever again dare to spread truth about government malfeasance to the people for fear of being arrested and expedited into the hands of cruel despotic government officials. And we all must stand up against this to fight for our own freedom and a chance to hold our governments accountable.

I must say, Roger Waters really impressed me deeply in this interview. It speaks for itself and covers the main points of importance in this case, including the perverse arguments made by evildoers and their gullible puppets in favor of this persecution. A must-hear interview, especially since even some good-hearted people (like for instance presidential candidate Marianne Williamson as you could see in yesterday’s Video Weekend) are still trapped in the false narratives we have been fed on the mass media:

(Note: If the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for the title: “Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters: WHOLE WORLD Must Focus on Julian Assange Arrest!”)

None of the arguments made by supporters of Assange’s persecution do in fact carry the same weight as our vital need for a free press.
