Mr. Keller "Outs" Himself

First see this by Arianna Huffington.

And why am I glad to hear this about Mr. Keller?

Because it shows who he's taking his instructions from: Karl Rove.

Who else was publicly knocking the blogs this week? It wasn't Bill O'Reilly, was it?

Hey, if the facts don't support you, just forget 'em. If others are scooping your stories, villify and discredit them.

It's also clear that the blogoshpere and bloggers have got the Republican Spin Machine, Karl Rove, Bill Keller and the NYT on the run. And they can run, but they can't hide. Now they REALLY wish they'd included Internet-controlling legislation in the Patriot Act!

Here's another clue. The 3 mouseketeers. I love the "Operatives in the NYT" idea, it works for me. Precisely. Why else would Judy Miller lie and feel no fear of being "Jason Blaired"? Why else would the NYT print the mea-culpa but leave her name out of it? Etc, etc, etc.

She's being protected, therefore she would protect. Er...she was being protected and protecting. The aspen's are turning and it's a beautiful thing. Could she really be in a position to bring down the Bush administration AND the NYT? It's certainly a possibility. NOTES FROM JUNE 2003! Perjury!

My view: a conspiracy. White House + NYT = Public Support for WAR = $$$. (This should really be drawn as a circle or like a snake biting it's own tail: endless corruption)
This is where I differ from Lambert. No money?? Ha! LOTS of money. The question is where is it?

The other shoe drops.....

and where did Mr. Keller make his bloggy attack? The Association of NATIONAL ADVERTISERS. Why would Bill think he had to tell this august body about the bad, bad bloggers? You think the big advertisers are about to start running blog-ads and stop running print ads? I can just see it: Ads for GM cars and trucks on The Next Hurrah, or the Daily Kos or, could it be, the Huffington Post. And pharmaceutical ads, too.

The ANA folks heard what they needed Bill Keller to tell them: "I'm on your side and don't worry about those pesky bloggers; the record profits are gonna continue. We control what the public thinks and believes, not the blogs."

Out of the closet, Bill Keller!

"Sweet Judy Blew Lies"

emptywheel lays it out. A must-read.

Order from Chaos

It seems to me that we are rapidly approaching the Iraqization of America.

Although Iraq seems completely in disarray and about to break down into civil war, one can presume this is the mid-term goal of the US corporatocracy. A divided population can much more easily be manipulated and a divided population under attack can be even more easily ignored as long as they're fighting each other. As the recent "discovery" of the theft of a billion dollars shows.
We can also presume that Mr. O (or U) bin Laden is still an agent of the US corporatocracy as he has been left in place in his position of arch-villain for use by the corporatocracy and their controlled media. He may no longer physically exist, but this doesn't matter. But I digress...
The citizenry of our country has been and is being assaulted on all fronts by our own government. EVERYTHING that can possibly be controlled by the corporatocracy is either being controlled, about to be controlled, or research is being conducted to determine how it can be controlled in the future. As is the case in Iraq.
In Iraq we have the construction of PERMANENT military bases. In America we have the use of voting machines owned by the corporatocracy, whose software is also produced and owned by the corporatocracy.
In Iraq we have no-bid contracts; in New Orleans we have no-bid contracts.
In Iraq we have Abu Grahib; in New Orleans (and other cities, I'm sure) we have prisoner abuse as well. http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/10/02/news/inmate.php
In Iraq we have fundamentalists insisting a theocracy be established, just like we have here. http://www.nationalreview.com/kurtz/kurtz200505020944.asp
In Iraq we have a population divided along religious, economic and political polarities. Sound familiar?
In Iraq we have puppet courts and puppet government. Deja Vu?

But my point is this is NOT chaos. This is the logical extension into an ultra-high tech world of the old maxims, "Divide and Conquer" and "To the Victor go the Spoils".
The corporatocracy has managed to pull off the biggest theft in all of history: the theft of the American Gross National Product, turning it into an $8,000,000,000,000 debt. That's 8 trillion dollars. . . gone. That's the entire GNP for the next 8 years.
And we are incarcerating more individuals than any other country in the world. http://www.prisonsucks.com/
And the gap between the rich and poor is increasing dramatically. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A34235-2004Sep19.html

So, if we've noticed, why are pretending we haven't?
