Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism (i.e. the 'collective will' of the people) because it is a merger of state and corporate power. -Benito Mussolini

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum – even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. -Noam Chomsky

The people who control the stories of a culture control its behavior. -George Gerbner

The day Geraldo came by people were giving him a hard time, as the sign being held above his head shows. He defended himself by saying: 'We're the only ones who have shown WTC 7 coming down in prime time and I supported NYCCAN RememberBuilding7.org initiative.' I asked him why that was and he said because 'almost nothing gets on the air that is not first approved by the higher-ups' and the copy desk. Despite journalism (in the name of, 'a free press') being the only non-official profession mentioned in and protected by the Constitution, we do not have a 'free press' in America today, in terms of diversity of opinion. In 1980 approximately 50 different companies owned the various news, print, and radio media in the US. Today, the lot is owned by 5 or 6 multinationals. Many of whom have subsidiaries and business interests that are in direct conflict with the open reporting of the news. So we find a whole slew of crucial stories that get ignored or the context is so skewed as to completely misrepresent the truth. 'Omission is the most powerful form of lie.' George Orwel.l.

I spoke to this homeless man briefly. I asked his permission to take this photo. He seemed like a very nice person. Im sorry I did not record his name but he did say that in his younger days he had been a veteran. It's heart-breaking because it doesnt have to be this way.
