Operation Mindcrime has Returned

For various reasons, those of us here at Operation Mindcrime have been on a vacation, but now its time to come back and take a hard look at America and what has gone wrong with this country. More important than what is wrong is what we, the American Citizens, can do to fix it.

The Corporations have grabbed up far too much power, and have ruined the economy for those who are not wealthy like them. We are working harder for more hours and less money. There are less opportunities to get ahead, and its going to get worse.

Take the time and educate yourself. Don't be fooled the mainstream media does not have a 'liberal' bias as the windbags on the right claim. They have a distinct corporate bias. NBC is owned by General Electric which is a huge defense contractor. ABC is owned by Disney. CBS is owned by Viacom. Even the so called "Communist News Network" is owned by the AOL-Time Warner corporation. What is the goal of corporations? Anyone? Anyone? TO MAKE MONEY! The bias of those networks is towards anything that will improve their ratings and make their parent corporations richer.

We are on the leading edge of the next election cycle. It only seems like they have been running forever already, its still three months to the next primary. Notice how the media favors certain candidates from the beginning. Why? Because they want you to believe that only their chosen candidates have a chance of winning. They have already annoited Hillary Clinton the Democratic front runner based on fundraising and polls. OF COURSE SHE IS GOING TO POLL HIGH, everyone knows who she is. On the other hand, this is Dennis Kucinich's second presidential campaign and his name rarely gets mentioned. It is being treated as Clinton v Barrak Obama, forgetting that there are other candidates who as of now have exactly as many votes as Clinton.

Now is the time, educate yourself. Read as much as possible from as many sources as possible. I highly recommend the book Screwed:The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class by Thom Hartmann and America:What Went Wrong? by Donald L Barlett and James B Steele.
