I stopped watching the news three months ago. The only side effect of which is more concise independent thinking, more astute observations. One would figure more ignorance would be the result and to a degree you would be correct. If you mean ignorant to the influence of corporate sponsorship, you would be correct . If you mean ignorance of the myriad of pharmaceuticals being promoted you would be correct. If you mean ignorant of the coached mannerisms of news celebrities who have to by their job description illicit emotional response from both viewer and interviewee, you would be correct. And if you mean ignorant to breaking news (instant ratings) of a house fire sixty miles away or a police car chase on a remote stretch of highway west of Houston, you would again be correct. But if you mean ignorance in any other definition of the word, then I would have to strongly nay directly into your judgmental facade.
All Major Network Media are corporate promotion engines. Judging by the enormous airtime bought by Big Pharma their number one client will no doubt have millions of people going to their doctors every week to ask them about the latest drug marketed. I suspect that they may be all banking on the placebo effect. I also suspect that the pharmaceuticals that they are cranking out is destroying kidney and liver function on a massive scale. Great for the dialysis business and their estimated 20 million yet undiagnosed potential clients who are unaware of their condition. How did they ever arrive at such a number? Big Pharma is poisoning us all and making us pay for it. The black warning boxes is just one token of truth. It serves as more of a disclaimer than an attempt at edification. Big Pharma has succeeded in turning the local physician into a pusher. With their free samples to get you started . Isn't that how the average drug dealer operates ? With a freebie? Big Pharma is a cartel. They model themselves after The Big Drug Cartels modus operandi because they are so good at making money. What makes Big Pharma so dangerous is that it has government backing. It has their blue shirts giving people years in jail for pharmaceutical drugs possessed without a subscription. Just one more mechanism by which to capitalize on misery, pain and fear and ignorance. They have it down to a science.
I could be bitter and share that bitterness with everyone I meet on the street. Share that same distant look of hopelessness. That same melancholy mannerism that zombifies what must now be the majority of us. But, and if there is those of asinine disposition involved, there is always a but.
There is on some future horizon. A whole world made whole. Our whole world, healed. Every life form restored to full functionality. The prelude to an awakening that will render all the old ways of doing business obsolete. Business will be made obsolete and our true nature our proper destiny will manifest so dramatically that spontaneous evolution of mind, body and spirit will
astound the jaded. Amaze the despondent. Move the immovable object and resist the irresistible force.
