The war profiteers learned from their defeat in Vietnam, that the media must never be independent again. They could not risk the U.S. public watching the results of their wars over the dinner table ever again, or respected reporters calling ANY war a mistake. So they bought the media, and have 100% control of the message.

Just a little modification here. Let me know if you support this change...

The war profiteers learned from their defeat in Vietnam, that the media must be honed far more inline with the hegemonic powers than it already is, as promoting the lies of the Gulf of Tonkin is not enough submissiveness . They could not risk the U.S. public watching the results of their wars over the dinner table ever again, or respected reporters calling ANY war a mistake. So they bought the media, and have 100% control of the message. Now, the media must be purchased by and run by the very powers that push for more war including Loews, Westinghouse, Bank of America and General Electric. That will provide the subservience we need.

I certainly have no objections to the expansion of my observations. I think the list of war profiteers is light, but that is another entire articles worth in itself.

We are living in an age of information control that would have turned 1984's Big Brother green with envy. The owners of the United States' economic, political, educational and cultural systems have decided that bleeding the country dry in order to fill their offshore accounts is perfectly acceptable. Eternal war and all the conditioning, option limiting, and oppression of dissent that allows them to continue fundamentally unchallenged are all pieces of their plan.
