Today Great moments in Geography takes us to tech giant Google! Google, craven corporate scum sucking automatons of the state which they are, have agreed with the King to arbitrarily rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. Actually, the name Gulf of America is already taken, it refers to the intelligence level of the electorate. But the King has balked, and so Google says, “How high sir? Should we pucker up sir? Should we bring my knee pads and lube again sir? Should we turn the music up, so the neighbors won’t hear sir?”
In response, Great Britain has renamed the Atlantic Ocean, the Great Elizabethan Sea after their late Queen. Canada has renamed the St. Lawrence Seaway as the Wayne Gretzky Seaway. Nova Scotia will be renamed Geddy Leeland. The Gulf of California will now be the new Gulf of Mexico. Fair is fair right? And Greenland will now be called “Fuckoffskis.”
Reports of scattered incidents have occurred since Illinois has attempted to enforce the new name of “Lake Chicago!” The Grand Canyon will now be known as the “That big fucking hole in Arizona” and Yosemite as “Holy Shit Park.” Megalomania knows no bounds.
CNN’s virtual firing of Jim Acosta is an incredibly craven act. It almost makes me sad I never watch CNN as my boycott now would be meaningless. “No, we aren’t firing you, Jim. We’re moving you to that coveted midnight hour infomercial slot. You’ll be right up there with “ShamWow!” That’s 3 AM in California and it’s damn near prime time in Hawaii!” They didn’t just get rid of Jim Acosta; they got rid of their credibility. They that stand for nothing. A corporate entity only on the public airwaves to run commercial ads and make money. To sell toothpaste and diapers while filling you with minutia and not making anyone in the ruling class angry.
Even for a soulless senseless dead corporate entity cravenly folding without even a fight is pathetic. A news organization about as vital as the Home Shopping Network or “Pimple Poppers.” You the public must educate them and show them what they’ve done was incorrect by changing the channel and not ever changing it back.
All authoritarian governments seek to control the press and this one is no different. It’s all really simple. On one side is a big pile of money and on the other is a tiny, little principle. Either you report the news, or you report what you’ve been told to report. You better be gun shy or else! CNN Investigative reports: Ballpoint Pens: Silent Killers! Inside Hollywood!!
The other day on YouTube, I ran across a new news channel I was unfamiliar with called, “News Desk!” They slipped up and came right out and said it out loud. Sinclair! It was Sinclair Broadcasting’s latest attempt at rebranding themselves. Long famous for their claptrap and Reich wing propaganda, perhaps a new name and stealth ownership will help to change their stealth objectivity. If you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything.
Jim Acosta was fired for doing a good job. The featured Fox felons all lost their jobs for sexual harassment and or professional wrong doing. Jim got fired for right doing. If only he had gone down to Mara goo, goo and begged for his job like Kukla, Fran and Mika. “We’ll be good! We promise! Yes sir! Whatever you say Mr. Potter!”
It is going to get mighty difficult to find an honest news source in America. Don’t trust anyone! Even me! Question everything! Turn off the TV news. Don’t watch and do make a list of the products you are not to going to buy anymore before you go. That is about the only practical power you have left anymore. Or the boss could maybe get you fired. It’s straight Fascism with no chaser. Money talks and then it gets you fired! Just think CNN lost one employee and their entire reputation in a single day.
What sort of honest politician fears the press? His sensibilities so small mushroom like and withered he has to attack the press trying to get even. “I’ll get you, my pretty! And your little dog too! If you try and tell the truth about me and what I’m trying to get away with. I’ll get you! Now you tell them; I’m a nice man who loves kids and dogs and goes to church twice on Sunday and don’t you tell them anything else, do you understand? Now, what’s your boss’s name?”
“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power” ― Benito Mussolini
It is strangely ironic since history leaves us such a clear trail to follow. When the Reichstag gave the Fuehrer full control of the state. The Reichstag had made themselves instantly pointless and unimportant in a single day. When the courts ratified Der Fuehrer’s pronouncements, they also made themselves instantly meaningless. Der Fuehrer was going to do it anyway. The court’s approval wasn’t really needed. It was just a decoration. A floral wreath on a casket saying, “We’re sure sorry!
A sort of Edward R. Murrow, William L. Shirer, Walter Cronkite meets Winston Smith gets his teeth fixed in “1984.” Chocolate ration? Chocolate? Oh yes, is the chocolate ration going up? Good news, I must say, positive too. You see, the chocolate ration is always an unstable commodity. It’s difficult to forecast accurately sometimes, considering all of the variables. The difficulty in manufacturing and distribution considering transportation costs and the need for fair distribution for all, of course. What else did you need to know?
We turn now to our resident panel of experts. Famous Gymnast Jim Grabasski. Actress and spokes model Holly Dolly! And from the NBA! Abdulla Too Tall. Famous Fashion Director for Better Homes & Gardens Jill Renfro -Smyth Jones- Lipchitz the 3rd. Is the chocolate ration going up?
