----------------------------------------------
This week 7 Black South Africans were killed by the Apartheid regime.
The media took scant notice. The most massive air bombardment in the
history of the Western Hemisphere continued in El Salvador as US supplied
planes and bombs attacked people in zones of rebel control. The media
took absolutely no notice. Congress just authorized CIA funding to
overthrow the governments of Angola and Nicaragua. Barely a word on the
net. But the media and those who control the public consciousness
go to town over the reformulation of a soft-drink.
And, alas, we are taken in, and pretend to care about such nonsense.
As in Roman times,
give them circuses to distract them.
I mourn for my country.
