The assassination of Bobby Kennedy occurred 63 days after the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis and less then 5 years after his older brother, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas. The last of the brothers, Edward, has just died bringing to a close, the principal participants of a time, often referred to as when the US lost its innocence.
The United States has never been the same since. The dreams of a better, more democratic life for all, with the image of American beacon of democracy was brutally slain over and over and over again. The Kennedy warriors are gone but their family spirit will surely arise from the ashes.
One of the next generation of Kennedys, is Bobby's son Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, who surely with his background has had an upbringing and bird's eye view of what is really happening in current America. To reurn to his previously published statements is confirmation of our worst fears.
"The Republicans are 95 percent corrupt and the Democrats are 75 percent corrupt," Kennedy. "They are accepting money from the same corporations. And of course, that is going to corrupt you."
Kennedy implies that the US has become a fascist country.
"While communism is the control of business by government, fascism is the control of government by business," he writes. "My American Heritage Dictionary defines fascism as 'a system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership together with belligerent nationalism.' Sound familiar?"
He quotes Hitler's propaganda chief Herman Goerring: "It is always simply a matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
Kennedy quotes Benito Mussolini's insight that "fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."
Democracy requires citizens to be informed so that they can meaningfully exercise their right to participate in the so called democratic process. Mainstream media play an essential role in facilitating the process of providing information to its citizens. They too are accepting money from the same corporations in advertizing revenue. And of course, it has also corrupted.
The Irishman Oscar Wilde wrote:
"In old days men had the rack. Now they have the press. That is an improvement certainly. But still it is very bad, and wrong, and demoralizing. Somebody — was it Burke? — called journalism the fourth estate. That was true at the time no doubt. But at the present moment it is the only estate. It has eaten up the other three. The Lords Temporal say nothing, the Lords Spiritual have nothing to say, and the House of Commons has nothing to say and says it. We are dominated by Journalism."
Our Modern media are 95% whores !
Then of course their is the secret estate of which the commoner is meant to know nothing if Dr Whore has his way.

BBC BRUTISH BULLSCUTTER COPERATION
Don't even give them a chance to launch their Bullscutter !
Oh, no. Brutish Bullscutter Coperation. Don't come fucking near me today. Dear Jaysus, you Kerry fucking recruits and gobshites all over the Irish media are their by-product. There are so many things I could say to express my deep mistrust and yes, anger of these new media Irish opinion makers. Their world service can be a titillating export but their rampant censorship of the restless native's replies stinks to high heaven, of arrogance, cultural imperialism and age old repression.
I don't vote right wing as far as I know, so maybe that also explains my antagonism to them. I don't believe the Brutish Bullscutter Coperation, which henceforth will be simply called the BBC, offer anything approximating legitimate alternatives for this country, indeed any country but thats their business. I disagree with their monarchy, class system of commoners, lords, inherited privilige and intolerance of diversity or alternatives.
Lest you think nationalism is blinding me, do not confuse my rants against Brutish Bullscutter with the many Scottish, English and Welsh friends I have known down through the years, most of whom are the salt of the Earth in my opinion and great people.
It goes against every fibre of my being and tradition to be rude to people but you have got to stand up for your identity these days or become a smiling zombie product of their pundits and seductive manipulating bullscutter.
Brutes are people too but we must take this tour d'arse with all of its insanity, as a relief from the bland sanitized, couldn't give a fuck mercenary BULLSCUTTER ! of our age.
