John Swinton, who worked for the New York
Times and in a toast before the prestigious New York Press Club in 1953,
made this candid confession: identifying the problem facing mankind in these
times, concerning mainstream media.
"There is no
such thing, at this date of the world's history, as an independent press.
You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if
you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am
paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am
connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar
things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest
opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job.
"If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper,
before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie
outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to
sell the country for his daily bread.
You know it and I know it, and what folly this is toasting an
independent press.
We are the tools and vassals of the rich men behind the scenes. We are
the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our
possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men.
We are intellectual prostitutes.
When the evils of human bondage once before confronted the conscience of
United States of America, a courageous writer, William Lloyd Garrison,
began publishing a newspaper called
THE LIBERATOR
; and in the first
issue of this crusading paper, in 1831, he wrote:
I am aware that many
object to the severity of my language; but is there not a cause for
severity? I will be as harsh as the TRUTH, and as uncompromising as
JUSTICE. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write,
with moderation. No! No!
tell a man whose house is on fire to give a
moderate alarm;
tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of
the ravisher;
tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the
fire into which it has fallen ---- but urge me not to use moderation in a
cause like the present!
I am in earnest –- I will not equivocate –- I will
not excuse –- I will not retreat a single inch –- and I will be heard”.
THE
ENEMY OF TRUE REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT IS CLOSER THAN YOU MAY REALIZE - In
the United States the security and surveillance state does not deal in
nuance or ambiguity. Its millions of agents, intelligence gatherers, spies,
clandestine operatives, analysts and armed paramilitary units live in a
binary world of opposites, of good and evil, black and white, opponent and
ally. There is nothing in between. You are for us or against us. You are a
patriot or an enemy of freedom. You either embrace the crusade to physically
eradicate evildoers from the face of the Earth or you are an Islamic
terrorist, a collaborator or an unwitting tool of terrorists. And now that
we have created this monster it will be difficult, perhaps impossible, to
free ourselves from it. Our 16 national intelligence agencies and army of
private contractors feed on paranoia, rumor, rampant careerism, demonization
of critical free speech and often invented narratives. They justify their
existence, and their consuming of vast governmental resources, by turning
even the banal and the mundane into a potential threat. And by the time they
finish, the nation will be a gulag.
The only defence against this oncoming political terror is every citizen
armed with the truth and aware of who they are voting for.
