Because I cut the cord my access to news has dwindled. Staunchly I believed cable television was not worth the prices providers are charging. Many times I watched, and even upon surfing through many channels, only commercials were on. No matter what channel to which I navigated, commercials. With the competition of internet streaming, the restrictions of Covid, and the real cost of quality production television has deteriorated. Tim Cooke may want you to believe an iPhone can produce a sitcom or a feature movie, but in comparison to a bona fide "Golden Age of Hollywood" studio your product will pale. If you have true talent or a ground-breaking concept, an iPhone will provide an introductory vehicle for your producing sentiments. If anyone cares to studio film and television production at university, quickly they will realize "Things Ain't What They Used to Be." Recently a Facebook friend posted about the attributes of the television comedy "Hogan's Heroes." I agreed with his opinion that it was an almost revolutionary show. The Germans were played by Jews in a parody not unlike the musical mounted in Mel Brookes "The Producers." Hollywood as defined by many was a mecca created by the same Jews who sought to create a utopia in stark contrast to the Nazi atrocities. Jews and the Jewish faith have a marked influence in the creative development of America, a newly emerging and burgeoning free nation. "The Big Lie" was not just about the presidential election. Donald Trump's "Big Lie" is a campaign which has undermined and degraded the core of American democratic, sociocultural, and academic postulates. Everything in American life has been assaulted, dismantled, or disguised for simple economic and autocratic gain. Like January 6th it is a coup d'etat. It has been implemented from within with the slow eroding of our food, health, media, education, and government standard of practices. Probably there are more. Nothing has escaped unharmed. Insurance ruined our health care, and the establishment was quick to comply. Food has been Benedict Arnold since the 1920's. Public education was fed to the dogs, and higher academia fell prey to the dollar. As such "The Swamp" was created. This siege upon American ideology was a result of "The Big Lie" implemented in other disciplines and aesthetics. Complain about infrasonic pollution from the rail industry, and the GOP decries science. Point out the dangers of climate change, and they lie. Understand the importance of teachers in advancing society, and they cut funding. Keep the minimum wage an unlivable, paltry, pittance of sustenance. There are so many things gone awry in our country, it could be difficult to swim to the surface. The disguising of the truth through gas lighting, the spread of misinformation, and flat out lying is a low point in American history, and subsequently our nation is in peril of extinction, war, or domination. American ideals are what built America, and these extreme truths have kept us alive, proud, and free. Democracy does work, but you must believe in and support it. We have been sold out, and the salesmen are in Washington, DC.
