The progress

Cooking invented, I have lost my teeth.
Tools invented, I have lost my hands
Carts invented, I have lost my legs
Electricity invented, I have lost my sight.
Calculator invented, I have lost counting.
Computer invented, I have lost faculty
Internet come, I lost neigbours.
Is mankind on march to stability?

This is the secret of propaganda: To totally saturate the person, whom the propaganda wants to lay hold of, with the ideas of the propaganda, without him even noticing that he is being saturated.

The Times has much less power than you think. I believe we attribute power to the media generally that it simply doesn't have. It's very convenient to blame the media, the same way we blame television for everything that's going wrong in society.

The United States has it's own propaganda, but it's very effective because people don't realize that it's propaganda. And it's subtle, but it's actually a much stronger propaganda machine than the Nazis had but it's funded in a different way.

The Hidden Agenda Mar 27th,2011

Media moguls have their own hidden agenda and we’re not involved,
We get indirect propaganda with many issues unresolved,
They never publish the sticky issue of Death With Dignity,
Against certain religious beliefs and admissibility.

They are the aristocrats and therefore want nothing to change,
Therefore no binding referendums will be mentioned or arranged,
No compulsory voting because that too would change things around,
It might bring us closer though, to walking on common ground.

The UN would not allow us into their Security Council place,
And now they want us involved in their war, right in our face,
Just because some usual despot dictator has lost his mind,
And media moguls think we should not be left behind.

An Era of Change

In My lifetime I experienced
an era of change
Television was invented in Colour
Racism came to and end as we had known it for years
Countries that once were, were no more
Communism was liberated
The great wall of china came down
Sexuality became open and freely explored
Implements of war were refined and massive
The seas began to rise
Global warming increased
Mobile phones were refined
Computers were invented and computer games took over
and I grew from innocent child
to worldly woman supplying the earth with four new groups
of future generations

Telemaniaco / Tele Maniac

Un cavernícola golpea a su amada / A caveman hits his lover
y se la lleva de los pelos a la cueva / and it takes it to him from the hair to the cave
no se preocupe no ha pasado nada / don't worry it has not passed anything
el noticiero de las nueve lo comprueba / the news report of nine o'clock checks it
