The "Free" Press
June 14, 2004, www.judoknighterrant.com website:
Tuesday (had to help a friend with some plumbing). The toll of sacrifices to U.S. militarism and its military industrial complex Frankenstein Monster passed 1700 yesterday. Four more. I got the news from NPR, the media being totally occupied with Michael Jackson—whose execrable name I wouldn't know, were it not for the media that is my subject—and Jackson is a good place to start. Must be wonderful, to be forced to endure hour upon hour of Michael Jackson tripe spewed in your face as you search the cable TV for news of whether your son or daughter, husband, wife, or other loved one has been killed. First, who cares about a peculiar (very)-behaving "entertainer?" Well, the people ruled by the media care, or Michael Jackson would be Joe Blow. Who with an intellect better than a monkey cares? Yeah. And who with a brain better than a monkey believes anything fed him by the "mainstream" media? Yup. But how does anybody come to be in that benighted state? Well, he listens to people who will appeal to and exploit every mental and psychological weakness he can learn about and reach. The media.
For instance, do I have an opinion about the recent trial outcome of the Jackson matter? Nope. How could any reasonable person have an opinion? Would you risk anything expensive or critical to your well-being on the evidence provided by the media? If you would, you're among those who would be challenged by having to match wits with a chimpanzee.
To be more specific, and pointed, where my analysis of our news media and its value to the public where making decisions important to their lives is concerned (like whether to trust your son or daughters life to a clique of rich like the Bush Administration and the military industrial complex it puppets for), lets begin with the young women I mentioned in my earlier "blog" (Cripes, what a word—speaks to the surpassing erudition of the country, doesn't it?). With our young women and children disappearing in droves daily, some of them to be found later with their lifeless bodies having been raped and brutalized otherwise, why is it that our media will not discuss, even mention, the obvious and its implications?
I'm known for my penchant for coming to the point swiftly, so: let us suppose that an oil-richened Arab—you know, the people famed for the high esteem they hold women—sheik visits the U.S. Lets say he came to buy himself a race horse in Kentucky. On his jaunts about town, he notices a couple of young fillies of the human species, decides to add to his harem, and has them seized. When he has secreted them aboard his jetliner, it happens that a particularly perspicacious private eye who happens to be in town for a judo camp makes the necessary observations, draws the necessary conclusions, and calls police. What do you think will happen? Let us assume (correctly, in this case), that the sheik is a prince, scion of an Arab family close to the ruler of the most oil-rich nation on the globe. He not only wants his son to be free of the difficulties inherent to arrest and all that, he wants his son to have anything he wants. And Habib (it means love) wants those girls even more than he wants his horses.
Habib, by the way, is a pervert, famed in his circles for his sexual cruelty. His father, the ruler, has his family's reputation to consider.
What do you think happens when the King calls those paragons of righteousness and virtue who rule in the Land of the Fee (oops—free), to demand that his son have both his freedom and whatever he wants? When he threatens to block all U.S. access to oil in the Middle East?
Now, it's not like no one else has realized, and thought about it. Come on! Do you know about "profiling?" You know, the kind that's illegal when used to single out Afro-Americans and Hispanics? When its suspected that an individual has committed a crime, reasonable detectives begin with considering the behavior of all individuals whose history of behavior resembles the behavior revealed in the commission of the crime. Modus operandi, for example, might be the manner used to strangle the victim. Where the victim is found to have been attacked from the air, then torn to pieces by talons, one might suspect a bird of prey.
But that can be construed to single out a group (birds of prey), so you can't do that legally in the land of the benighted free. Unless you're a private detective, one trying to trace a couple of missing women or girls. A private detective—this one, anyway—might take note of the fact that among the peoples of the earth and their cultures, two (and those culturally related closely by history) find the sexual degradation and abuse of women and children far less reprehensible than the rest of their species. In fact, kidnap, slavery, rape, even torture and mutilation of women and girls is not only common but accepted in these cultures. The PI, ergo, might start his hunt by checking the Arab and South American populace in town, especially those newly arrived and perhaps known to be leaving soon. Amazing, the chutzpah of the man!
Amazing. How is it then, that not an iota, not a scintilla of discussion of cultural propensity for that sort of thing and related motivation occurs when, for instance, the latest disappearance of a young women or child occurs? Why doesn't it occur to the great minds of punditry that the fact of enormous numbers of missing women and children occurs parallel to a similar mathematical explosion of illegal immigration by cultures with a penchant and propensity for that very sort of behavior?
I leave it to you. Far be it from me to say or think anything politically incorrect.
