Today I dloaded this iPhone blogging app, BlogPlus, from the restroom of La Note, while temporarily occupied w/other affairs. I saw from AppShopper that the price had dropped to $1!
Time to consume!!!
And the joy of realizing I can consume software from a bathroom via cellphone Internet -- I really feel like I have arrived in the era of the mobile information revolution!!

Why the Media implodes
FAIR -- fairness and accuracy in reporting -- has a lot of work to do!
So far, the answers are all similar -- the CORPORATIONS do not want these stories covered.

What bugs me about this story, and all the rest, is that we have a guarantee in our Constitution of both Freedom of Press and Freedom of Speech. If we can't get the truth in our media, and people speaking the truth in media is getting blocked, then it seems our Constitution is being blocked and we as US Citizens have a right and a duty to prevent this type of thing.
I'm not a Tea Party person -- I think the Tea Party is a front for right-wing billionaire fascists -- but I am a believer in the principles of the USA's foundation -- liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press, Freedom of Religion -- and Freedom From Religion.
To get current on my list of things I DO NOT BELIEVE IN: tax rebates for the rich, wars against drugs or religions, sending US troops to fight wars in other countries which are not threatening the USA, living in primal fear of terrorist attacks that we give up our freedoms and our freedom from inappropriate searches, using tax money for military ventures or to subsidize corporate endeavors rather than for the public good, the government battling to defend 'intellectual property rights' while supporting companies who exploit natural resources and leave regions unable to support human life, the exploitation of slave labor and prison labor, the expansion of prisons to include imprisoning non-criminals and non-violent victimless criminals, the expansion of CIA/FBI/Police powers without judicial oversight, and the government support of industries which have no regard for their product's consumers nor their product's producers.
I could make that list longer...
Basically, very little of what the mainstream media says (including CNN) is accurate, and what they do say is spun heavily. The most confusing questions (at least for me) are WHY would CNN spin the Japan Fukushima Daichi nuclear meltdown? Why would NPR not cover the anti-austerity protests going on in all 50 states? Why don't we hear about Global Warming in ANY of the mainstream media sources?
So far, the answers are all similar -- the CORPORATIONS do not want these stories covered.
Nuclear powerplants cost ~ $60bil each, and the USA has over 100 nuke plants, so we have approx $6 trillion dollars of private enterprise interests resisting any coverage of the triple meltdown -- even though we now they are worse than Chernobyl, we know they are worse today then they were 1 month ago, and we know that the USA is exposed to dangerous radiation from the meltdown. We don't know if the radiactive cores have melted outside of the reactor foundations, which is significant.

Obama vs Osama -- what is real and what is fiction
Wait a sec. Actually, I'm not getting the story. Here's what I'm not understanding about the whole affair:
- Did Bush Sr give Osama Bin Laden $2 billion to fight the Russians -- and then ask him to attack the USA as a false flag attack? Media hasn't investigated.
- Why did Bush Jr have a 'no flight' alert, but then use US tax money to buy all the Bin Laden family free flights to Paris? - Hello media? Any explanations here?
- When Osama Bin Laden got away from US forces every time, why did it seem like the USA armed forces were given orders to leave him an escape route? Was it so the USA could continue to fight a war against whomever we want? Is the 'Al Queada', the mysterious nation-less group of terrorists a convenient cover story to an American offensive to take control of the world's oil? -- Any media commentary here?
- What about the POW's in Guantanamo still? (Wait, I'm sorry, I didn't mean POW's, I meant 'enemy combatants'.) Why is the USA torturing them & not allowing them to have their day in court with lawyers to face their charges?
- What exactly is the definition of terrorism? Is the USA terrorizing Iraqi citizens? When the USA uses rendition & secret military prisons, is that terrorism? Does invading a non-threatening country count as terrorism? What about nuclear bombing a country, or using drones to go into another country's borders & kill civilians? I'm just wondering here.
- Why is the USA fighting a war against a group that hasn't done anything to us (yet)? Have the people of the USA become so comfortable with war that we accept fighting wars against people that aren't fighting a war against us? Is it ok to invade a country & kill their citizens just because some nasty folks are hiding out there?
- When did it become legal to assassinate foreign leaders?
- How can we be the leader in counter-terrorism and sitll operate the College of the Americas, a 'university' which teaches techniques used to terrorize populations & teach harsh investigative torture techniques (already used in Central & South America)?
- Why doesn't Bush use his 'inside connections' with the Bin Laden family to get the USA some answers on what really happened?
- Why didn't Cheney & Bush have to testify under oath, separately, about the 9/11 attacks? Why did we never get info on why Cheney ordered planes to stand down instead of shoot down those attacking flights? And why did Bush sit still for 14 minutes after being informed the USA was under attack?
