Strange. America Supports You's Freedom Walk website isn't working today.
As if it weren't such a good idea to link the war in Iraq and 9/11 anymore.
As if it sounded like a sick Grey Pride : keep walking with us folks, we brought you war, we brought you social collapse, and we sure have lotsa good ideas for the years to come.
As if they suddenly feared no one would turn out. Don Rum can't even mobilize army people : he needs them to fish corpses in Iraq and Louisiana.
So because the site is down, people cannot register or enroll to enjoy their Freedom to Walk.
America supports you, but who is supporting Bush's Amerika ???

I'm sure Murdoch is good at opposing government intervention into TV programming : his game is rather media intervention into government programming.
I wonder if TV Watch can do any better than watching TV... more anxious to see the adaptation of Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta"*.
As far as the internet watch is concerned : tvwatch.org belongs to a Taiwanese citizen, tv-watch.org to a Briton, tv-watch.com to a Hong Kong company (the only active URL to date) and tvwatch.com to Tucows.

* an old graphic novel dealing with propaganda in an alternative and fascist UK - worth reading folks, especially if the book turns out to be as poorly adapted as "From Hell". After that, you won't read the same way the UK tabloïds' call for testimonies after London july bombings ("you're our ears, you're our eyes").
I have been hunting for some discussion of these "artifacts of the media" -- the ubiquitous reports of and quotes from eye-witnesses who supposedly were on the train right there and then, and told of the big jacket and something like wires coming out of it, and how he came running into the train with a terrified look on his face. These were not presented as police comments, yet suddenly, after seeing the camera footage, there is no curiousity about how such supporting evidence rose up to re-inforce the offical story of understandable police confusion.
I would have expected somebody to shine a light on this oddity to try to understand how such inaccuracies or fabrications become the universally received mental impression of the incident for most news readers. None of the articles about the revelations from the cameras have addressed the question of who supposedly gave this eye-witness account, and why was he hallucinating.
I know eye-witness reports are known to be unreliable, but I have a hard time believing that an eye-witness gave that report. Did somebody perhaps provide a pseudo-eyewitness to help shape the initial reports?
Given that each and every Presidential audience is carefully screened to keep out anyone who might confront the President with an actual fact or dissenting opinion, no doubt the President has not ever encountered those who are fully aware of the cost of the Iraqi war in lives lost: the parents of deceased military personnel.
Droning repetition of the number of those killed in action is the very method of "de-sensatizing" the nation about the real costs of war that was used during the Vietnam era. After so many times of hearing the same thing over and over, it becomes just another part of one's reality and fades from consciousness. I'm fearful that this is exactly what the Bush administration hopes to accomplish this time around. It worked in Vietnam for many years and it will, no doubt, work again in this war.
