Look at all those unarmed teenagers just waiting for school to start.
Good Article today, Louis. Thanks! :-)
The stockholders of the NYTs are mostly family members.
Many stockholders have no functional control of the media groups that you mention.
We need to differentiate between legal ownership and control. They are *not* the same.
Not that I would, but if I did have a business in that neighborhood, I would have been loading mechandise as fast as possible into a moving van so there would be nothing to loot. Smash a few windows to make it look already looted and hope they don’t burn the building.
This Article from last year on the military and our culture is one of my favorites.
I agree that this is the best analysis of the of the left's bad policies leading to additional bad policies to cover up the results of their previous bad policies.
Regarding the media and stockholders of mega corporations, it occurs to me that we are caught in a sort of left handed socialism. The investors buy stock in a profitable corporation to protect their savings and those corporations do the same by investing in mega corporations or mega banks who own shares in everything including large media organizations. The "media" is then isolated from their investors by several layers of corporations and are then free to indulge in whatever policies they want. Nobody really "owns" them. It results in something like socialism.
Every government that has become Marxist has quickly decayed into a criminal enterprise. It is in the nature of the Marxist state for it to be controlled by a strongman.
Power corrupts and no power corrupts more thoroughly than a totalitarian form of government. No matter how it is done when predominant power is put in the hands of a small cabal it instantly becomers a criminal enterprise.
ISIS and HAMAS are perfect illustrations of criminal cabals. The leadership of these organizations are multimillionares living in huge mansions. Their entire mentality is to use their power for personal gain. They are, to a man, criminals.
Will you add me to the ping list, please? Thanks!
Look at all those “unarmed teenagers”...
you are on the list
We need a NEW MEDIA. God's standard for news media is Philippians 4:8 which begins "Whatsover things are TRUE." The current media completely fails this first and most important test. Instead of truth, they communicate lies. Somehow, we need a NEW MEDIA based upon truth, honor, justice, purity, beauty, good reports, virtue, and praise.
What makes this article great is that it is truth.
As Robin Williams discovered the hard way, living in a belt free zone is the safest way to go through life....
Louis, please add me to the list.
I try to keep up with Mr. Greenfield on his website, but your list ensures that I won’t miss anything. His writing is a genuine treasure. His essay, “Government is Magic,” was the first one of his that I ever read, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
You are among the select few (250 and counting)
??
Excellent point!
My belief is though that we must get down and dirty with these democrats! Take off the gloves! Indict some of them! Put the fear of god into some of them and so on.
Your right on “control” but if I’m a CEO and I’m getting my ass reamed daily by pissed off stockholders that are pissed off because they are “feeling the heat” I’m gonna do SOMETHING,
Right now, they are all as smug as they can be cuz we (the right) are doing nothing but letting “the left” get away with murder now going on decades.
If you read the bible, read Deuteronomy 2:3. It talks about “changing directions”.
I believe that the Obama cabal has been a criminal enterprise from day one. No one believes that Marxism can work and they are not true believers. They hide behind the Robin Hood aspect of Marxism and it will still fool the terminally stupid of which there are becoming less and less of. Therefore I believe his time is growing short and soon he must make his move. I don’t think we have long to wait.
You are precisely correct in everything you say but WE (the right) are in the boat with the bastards!
It’s time to start “rocking the boat” and turning up the heat!
All these STOCKHOLDERS have, like we all do, weak points! Let’s find them and stress them and make life uncomfortable for them so that they call up their CEO and say something like this “buddy, if you don’t dial some of this liberal bs back, you are not going to have my support at the next stockholders meeting and I’’m gonna work to get your ass fired!”
Then, boycotts of their advertisers!
These fng companies these STOCKHOLDERS are making possible are destroying this country and it’s time ALL INVOLVED feel some heat!
A few sweeps with an Uzi would be appropriate.
2. Does a guy who looks like that really think the bandana is going to hide who he is from his neighbors?
