The Telegraph has made us 'see clearly now'

It is agreed by many, many informed and honorable people that the upcoming election is one of the most important elections since the “War Between The States”. No matter how you vote or what you believe it would seem that as a citizen of this great country each individual has a duty to insure that they are informed and know what they are doing when they vote! Sadly this is not the case.

No matter what you think of him William Randolph Hearst was quoted in the New York Journal-American, on November11, 1954 as saying:

“According to American principle and practice the public is the ruler of the State, and in order to rule rightly it should be informed correctly. “

What we are witnessing now is an abject failure of the so-called main stream media to do this. The media we see in this Great Nation today functions more like the Goebbels school of journalism out of the 1930s Germany.

Contrary to what many people may believe there is no Constitutional right to vote for the President of the United States in a national election. The United States Supreme Court ruled in Bush v Gore that:

“The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College. U.S. Const., Art. II, §1.”

Considering the above there are a lot of reasonable people which believe that the right to vote should be denied to people which do not care enough about the privilege to inform themselves about what is going on. We make no secret about it, we belong to that school.  

Another very serious problem is the so-called news media. Sometimes It appears as if the majority of these people are seriously lacking in morals and integrity, i.e. Dan Rather formerly of CBS News. It seems as if the one thing they have in common is the “don’t give a damn about the welfare of the country”. 


Reasonable people may come to the conclusion that only the moral deficient and people without integrity that have no known criminal record gravitate to politics and the media.  

The media for the most part has become a disgrace. When we watch what they do and the way they do it, we have to ask.

Is this what the men died for on the beaches of Europe on D-Day? What about Guadalcanal, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, etc.  We will never know, we cannot ask them.

Even one of the better news sources such as the Fox News Channel is hard to take sometimes. In the first place, all reasonably intelligent people know their marketing technique is just that and nothing more. No one can balance cold hard facts and not all in this world is fair. 

 For example was it fair for the men mentioned above to die for a country which would turn their back on the very things most of these men thought they were fighting for?

Fox News Channel as well as other so-called main stream media sources spends untold millions of dollars for people to set in front of a camera and tell one lie after another when anyone with average intelligence knows they are lying.  The one and only purpose seems to be to deceive the people into voting for one political party or another.  We think we can conclude that the individual who said both political parties are corrupt to the core is absolutely correct.

We have to ask, why do they get away with this? The answer is simple, the people of this Great Nation let them.

We think we are on sound ground here when we say, while Ancient Greece spawned the sophist in an infant democracy it will be this same technique which provides a major contribution to the destruction and downfall of the Greatest Nation to ever exist on the face of this earth!

This practice in the media exists around the world, across this Great Nation and right here in middle Georgia’s front yard. We have come to the conclusion that one of the most egregious offenders on the face of the earth today is The Telegraph.

The book by Bob Kohn titled “Journalistic Fraud – How The New York Times Distorts the News and Why It Can No Longer Be Trusted” is an apt lesson in how the modern day sophist functions. We think we can safely say we have found an example of each despicable practice cited in the book on the pages of The Telegraph   and never a hint of concern about the welfare of this Great Nation.

When we look at this then consider the fact that The Telegraph has brought on board a “marketing consultant” (Visiting Member Kenny Burgamy, ex-banker, the “Perfect Republican”  and the Looney part of Looney and Tunes) to help sell what we see as acts out of ancient history we have to wonder.

Then when Bill Knowles of wearepolitics breaks the story of the “70,000 reasons” (second paragraph from the bottom) and we consider the “lousy lunch”, the fog begins to clear and as the old song goes “I can see clearly now”.

How a nice day.
