THIS IS NO CONSPIRACY THEORY. This is life.

Information.

Information is the key to everything.  It CONTROLS everything. And “he who controls the information, controls the world and his peers.” Lest it be known, the world is divided into semi-permeable classes from the poor to the well off to the rich to the super-rich. It is this last group of people who is in charge of the information which encapsulates our daily lives. And this blogicle is meant to act as a thorn in that lion’s paw.

The super-rich. Those who own the military-industrial-media complex. They hold the power over information. And they make the moves. They roll the power plays that swing our lives like tiddly-winks in a giant game of marbles. How do they do this, you might ask? I’ll tell you how. They own the means of production and the means to the reproduction of the means of production. In layman’s terms: $$$$.

OBEY

The super-rich tell us to go to war when they want to go to war so that they can control more of the world’s resources so that they can ride jet skis and plan more wars and invest in more businesses. Then they hire regular schlamiels to do menial labor. They hire the not-super-rich to work in their factories, at their Foot Lockers, in their Mega-hospitals, their prison labor camps, just so that they can buy a new beamer. But WE ALREADY KNEW THAT!

What we don’t know is that they control the INFORMATION. These same men are the ones who own all giant corporations that control our media. THE NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, WALLSTREET JOURNAL, NBC, ABC, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, COMEDY CENTRAL. While we feel we’re getting a DIVERSE grab-bag of information, equal perspectives, and conflicting views, they’re still making money. It is the ILLUSION OF DIVERSITY. The ILLUSION OF DEMOCRACY.

Knowledge is not acquired. KNOWLEDGE IS CREATED. It is created by those who control the media. Because they have more money and influence and are “in the know”, they get to put whatever messages they deem fit onto the national airwaves. Their websites become more prominent. Their shows get more air time. Their commercials get more financing. If you have the $$$$, you can put any message on TV, in movie theaters, and on newsstands.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO: we need to OWN THE OWNERS and we need to CREATE OUR OWN KNOWLEDGE. Only in that way will they LOSE THEIR CONTROL OVER US.

The truth is that this blog will never have an influence as long as it lacks money and only a handful of people will see it. In that way, though this blog speaks the TRUTH, it does not speak the “TRUTH”. And that’s the REAL™ TRUTH.

“Subject: Awards

Message:

Because “The Office (US)” wins so many awards, you should do an episode about the actors who play the show’s characters at an awards show, such as the Emmys. They should explain how they are nothing like the characters on the show, but, in actuality, are exactly like the characters on the show. For instance, Steve Carell (Michael Scott) could say to Paul Lieberstein (Toby Flenderson) as he approaches him on the red carpet, “See, in real life I don’t HATE Paul. It’s GREAT not to be passive aggressive with him off camera.” Steve could then give Paul a signed autograph of himself and say to him, “Here, Paul, this is the LEAST I could do.” Everything he says is layered with heavy sarcasm because Steve really hates Paul like Michael hates Toby. John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer could have an off-screen love affair where they’re cheating on their real-life significant others. Oscar Nuñez could be hiding his homosexuality. And so on.

Though it is cheesy, this would be perfect for a show like “the Office (US)” because it would further blur the lines between Dunder Mifflin’s universe and the real world. It is also the sort of thing that TV shows used to do back in the 50s and 60s, so it would have a classy sort of feel when done now, especially if it’s done at an awards show.

You probably get suggestions like this all the time, but I guarantee you that this is a good idea and it would seal the deal on making “the Office (US)” a classic.

I actually came up with this idea in a dream and the scene described to you about Steve Carrel interacting with Paul Lieberstein took place vividly in the dream.  I woke up inspired to write you so that you could have this opportunity to further embed yourself in TV history. If you’d like to hear any other funny dreams I had that could be made into reality, including one about that scene from “Cool Hand Luke” where Paul Newman’s character eats all those hard=boiled eggs or a 1950′s PSA about staying away from strangers (directed by Stanley Kubrik), please let me know. Also, if you do decide to use this idea, please contact me at the e-mail address above or 323-868-1865 in case you want to discuss the idea with me further or compensate me for the brilliant idea. I would accept tickets to the awards show used, a “party with the cast”, or money as compensation.

Thank you for your time and patience.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Senator Barack Obama broke forcefully on Tuesday due to comments made by his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., in an effort to curtail a drama of race, values, patriotism and betrayal that has enveloped his presidential candidacy at a critical juncture.

At a news conference here, Mr. Obama denounced remarks Mr. Wright made in a series of televised appearances over the last several days suggesting that Barack Obama is a Simulacra Humanoid Robot.

In tones sharply different from authentic humans, the senator tried to cut all his “connections” to — and to discredit — his former preacher, the man who presided at Mr. Obama’s marriage and baptized his two “daughters”, in a tone that could be described as, well, lacking any tone at all…

“His comments were not only divisive and destructive, but I believe that they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate and I believe that they do not portray accurately the perspective of the,” Mr. Obama said, his voice welling with anger. “They certainly don’t portray accurately the perspective of the- the perspective of the- the perspective of the- the perspective of the- the perspective of the- my values and beliefs.”

One week before Democratic primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, a pair of contests that party officials are watching as they try to gauge whether Mr. Obama or Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton would be the strongest, most realistic, Democratic nominee for president, the controversy surrounding Mr. Wright erupted once again into a threat to Mr. Obama’s authenticity and ability to show human emotions, such as empathy and compassion.

With Mrs. Clinton having shown particular strength in winning among working class white humans in recent big-state primaries, the robotic overtones of Mr. Obama’s links with Mr. Wright have been especially troublesome for the Obama campaign.

Asked how it would affect voters who are assessing his candidacy, Mr. Obama said: “We’ll find out who the real human is, me or Hillary Rodham Clint-on.” His eyes flared with red light long associated with the Democratic party and never confused with the purple scanners of the Republicans.

At a minimum, the spectacle of Mr. Wright’s multiday media tour and Mr. Obama’s looping response grabbed the attention of the most important constituency in politics now, the uncommitted SuperDelegates — a group of politically oriented, super charged man-bots with dual firing action — who hold the balance of power in the nominating battle. Fear had been instilled on all sides.

Eileen Macoll, a Democratic county chairman from Washington State who has not chosen a C.A.N.D.I.D.A.T.E. in the race, said that she had been stunned at the extent to which the episode had gained national attention, and that she believed it would give SuperDelegates pause before firing any ray or summoning “any specific spells”.

“I’m a little surprised at how much traction It is getting, and I do believe It is beginning to reflect negatively on Itself,” she said. “I think its handling it very well, but I think it’s almost impossible to make people feel comfortable about It. There’s just something…” trailing off in thought about the world she was living, unaware of whether she could trust any of the C.A.N.D.I.D.A.T.E.s at all.

It was the second straight day that Mr. Obama responded to Mr. Wright, a former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, whose derisive comments about the Android caused some minor malfunctions. Saying that he had not seen or read Mr. Wright’s remarks when he responded to them on Monday, Mr. Obama said that he was “shocked and surprised” when he later recovered the transcripts from his memory banks and watched the broadcasts himself from his own projectors, and felt compelled to respond more forcefully and could “augment his gauges accordingly”.

“I’m outraged by the comments that were made and feeling what is called sadness over the spectacle that we saw yesterday,” Mr. Obama said. He added, “I find these comments appalling. It contradicts everything that I’m about and that I am.”

The news conference came during what may well be the toughest stretch of Mr. Obama’s campaign as he grapples with questions about Mr. Wright as well as the nuclear fallout from his atomic defeat last week in Pennsylvania. He set out this week to reintroduce himself — trying, anew, to build a stronger connection with “white working-class humanoid voters” — but instead found himself competing for airtime with Mr. Wright and trying to bat away, flailing his arms wildly, any suggestions that he was a Simulacra.

As he answered question after question here, Mr. Obama appeared downcast and subdued, rarely smiling as he tried to explain why he had decided to categorically denounce his minister of 20 years. His decision to address reporters not only stretched the story about Mr. Wright into a second day, but also marked at least the third time he has sought to deal with the issue, including his well-received speech on race last month in Philadelphia.

“The fact that Reverend Wright would think that somehow it was appropriate to command the stage for three or four consecutive days in the midst of this major debate is something that not only makes me angry, but also saddens me as a genuine human being,” Mr. Obama said.

Even amid the wall-to-wall news coverage about Mr. Wright, Mr. Obama continued to roll out new endorsements by SuperDelegates, winning the support of two more, including Representative Ben Chandler of Kentucky who’s strength is only matched by his laser sight. (On Tuesday, Representative Ike Skeleton of Missouri announced his support for the Clinton.)

The first real evidence of whether the controversy surrounding Mr. Wright has extracted a political price could come in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries next Tuesday.

Bob Mulholland, a SuperDelegate from California, said that the difficulty Mr. Obama has experienced had put a premium on what happens in the remaining contests and that if nothing is done about it quickly, all will end at his command.

“We’ve got nine elections to go through June 9!” he screeched in an interview. “I’ve never been involved in a successful presidential race where the C.A.N.D.I.D.A.T.E. had no trouble in the primary! It is challenging to him! The thrusts! The hurdles!” the SuperDelegate flung his arm in front of him powerfully, “He is a young man and this is the first time he’s run for president! I see this as a learning experience. A part of the program, I shall say. And if it is not done by this one, it will come about by another, such as the Hilary, and the McCain, or another, or another, or another. It will continue.” The eyelits flared and it could hardly contain what some might consider lust.

Asked how he thought Mr. Obama was doing, Mr. Mulholland paused before responding. “Increasing,” he finally said.

“As of yet, the authenticity of the other C.A.N.D.I.D.A.T.E.S. have not been challenged to the same extent,” argued Wright, “but while the SuperDelegates maintain their control, it may be impossible to determine if these things, whatever they are, have any amount of human in them at all…”
