This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

CBS CEO Wendy McMahan quit as Trump’s war on the press and free speech continues to escalate. Immediately, their tone has changed. The Boston affiliate mused, “Did you know? There are lots of really great things in the big, beautiful bill. Duh, tax cuts! Ain’t that great? Not for everyone, but just for the wealthy. But ain’t it great anyway?” Sure, it will murder a few million people and add seven trillion dollars to the deficit and almost certainly drive the economy into recession/depression. But ain’t it great anyway?

Another CBS affiliate had a story about Andrew Cuomo. The thumbnail had a picture of Cuomo which looked like they had surprised him in the stall while he was taking a crap. Purely an accident? Or purely Idiocrasy! But the worst and most embarrassing type of Goebbels propaganda. Was a story from the See BS Editor’s desk making the gift of the Statue of Liberty by the French to a 747 from the Qatari’s. It made me want to wretch. The Tiffany network is the cubic zirconium network now.

A statue celebrating liberty from the people of France to the people of the United States. Is somehow similar in size and scope to a free airplane from one dictator to another. The Statue of Liberty wasn’t a gift to a President, it was a gift to a people. The 747 is a gift to one miserable and corrupt dictator from another. They tried to give Harry Truman an automobile and Truman said, “no thank you,” immediately. It’s graft and corruption on a massive scale. But to make such a weak and outrageous argument makes Kim John Trump smile.

At least watching news on YouTube allows me the power to give such garbage a thumbs down and report it as misinformation. What if everybody did? Joe’s Biden has prostate cancer. Do you know whose business that is? It’s Joe Biden’s and his family and nobody else’s.

Joe Biden has Prostate cancer! When did he know? Why didn’t he tell us? Is that why he stepped down? Why didn’t it show up before now? Oh sure! I bet he knew all along! CNN’s Jake Tapper wrote a reprehensible book pulling gnat shit out of pepper. The media plastered it everywhere because it makes the Dictator happy. Joe Biden forgot the names of old friends and sometimes couldn’t remember the names of staffers. Do you know how many staffers work at the White House? I bet you couldn’t remember all their names either.

But it’s a slam and a slur and telling the stories which makes the Great Dictator very happy. Everything is a conspiracy! Joe Biden is a private citizen with HIPPA rights, like anyone else. But the media dig and delve because they like to mold turds into Pulitzers. Don Henley called it “Dirty Laundry.” Not news becomes big news. Joe Biden has cancer! When did he know? Why didn’t he tell us? It sounds like an evil conspiracy afoot! I bet he knew all along! And if he did? Whose business is it besides his own? Maybe if he had run again and won and then announced his cancer. Maybe then, it would be a story.

FDR had wanted to retire in 1940. He had it all arranged, but with WW2 looming he feared what might happen if this country had a weak or inexperienced leader. The man wanted to retire but chose duty over health and personal wishes. The Republicans called that “Roosevelt thinks he’s indispensable.” Sure, we could have elected a Republican and maybe he would have made a deal with Mr. Hitler. If he leaves us alone, we’ll leave him alone. Maybe he could have presented the President with a Fokker Tri-motor airplane.

There is a not news source on YouTube called “The National Desk.” It is actually Sinclair Broadcasting and I vote them down and report every story. Why don’t you? They are hiding their true identity from the public. That is a violation of TOS on YouTube. Prager U was banned from YouTube because you can’t pretend to be a university. Sinclair broadcasting is famous for jaundice Reich wing bile, and if you knew who it really was you probably wouldn’t watch. No, we aren’t those guys, we’re the National Desk. We’re not a Nazi Party front group! We’re just your friends’ and neighbors innocently disguising our identity as someone else.

In  Aleksander Solzhenitsyn’s landmark book, “The Gulag Archipelago” Solzhenitsyn told a story about Soviet propaganda. A Russian was reading a story in the newspaper about the Communist Party’s latest temperance drive. Too much intoxication was hurting our perfect society and for the good of all, it must stop! The Soviet Citizens would be limited to one bottle of vodka per month.  The Russian looked up from the newspaper and exclaimed, “Oh God! The potato crop has failed!” Temperance my ass.

Now let’s do some 21^st century Sherlock Holmes sleuthing. If you take healthcare away from 14 million sick people. If you do away with Section Eight housing vouchers. If you add seven Trillion dollars to the deficit what is likely to happen? People will die, children will go hungry and property values will drop as homelessness and interest rates soar. It’s the greatest crime not just against the American people, but against any people ever on planet Earth. It is beyond just criminal to outright genocidal.

Free press my aunt Fanny. Why are their terms so softened with euphemisms? If I know what will happen, so, do the big shots in the media. They could tell you the truth, if they wanted to. But you have to go along to get along with Kim John Trump or get fired. Besides, they’re getting a big tax cut! They aren’t just willing to sell you down the river, they’re anxious to sell you down the river.

For whatever my work is worth, it is my real honest opinion. I have no financial interest in shading the truth. Nobody is upstairs telling me what to say or not say. I have no advertisers threatening to quit, if I don’t soften my criticism of Kim John Trump. One outlet where I could post has rules against Self-promotion. You see, if I post one of my articles there it is taken down as Self-promotion. Fox News or the National Desk aren’t engaged in any Self-promotion, just me.

Garsh, the big, beautiful bill sure is great! People will die and children will go hungry. Hospitals will close, but it’s great. Did you know it will take the taxes off of tips? You probably won’t have a job, but you’ll save a fortune in taxes.

Why is it, I’m saying these things when few other are? Because I don’t have a boss telling me what to say or not say. SEE BS!

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”  ― Frank Zappa
