The Great Suppression

[90-percent]

17. SPOT ON

I like to seek root causes of our current problems as a species.

The people running the planet are wrecking the future of humanity in the name of enriching themselves beyond human comprehension.

How the fuck are they getting away with this?

Well, for one thing, they got this divide and conquer of the masses thing down cold!

Frank Zappa posited that television was the means of corporate control of the masses. Here's his; "I'm the Slime" , which is a good representation of his views on the subject.

I am gross and perverted
Im obsessed n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think Im delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin out
From your tv set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't got for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks..
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin along on your livinroom floor

I am the slime from your video
Cant stop the slime, people, lookit me go


Frank advised in the 60's that control of television was key to any form of revolution in the United States.

Well, we blew that, but I want to know why us in the 99% have not effectively used the internet to organize and fight back against the oligarchs?

Thanks so much for your post. Lets get to work.
