i hear that the department of homeland security has put a call out for companies that can create a database of journalists and bloggers ( one wonders if this would include twitter accounts that indulge in patent distortion and outright bullshit...know what i mean ? ) in an alleged effort to control the dissemination of "fake news"...as opposed to officially sanctioned "real news" ( which i would term a corporatist sort of propaganda heavily skewed towards an addiction to consumption ) from the crypto-fascist fox network and the fucktards at sinclair...i have a number of blogs and the only one i purport to have any factual "news" on is the gardening one because it is mostly about what is going on in my yard and my basement...the others ( some of which have not seen much activity of late...although, for one, that will be changing very soon, one is actually defunct because the garden it was about is no more ) are simply viewpoint with the occasional vituperative rant tossed in to keep the adrenaline going....i want this made clear...opinion..and my opinion is that homeland security are pretty much a bunch of nosy control freaks with an overblown perception of their mandate...i imagine you have to know who the enemy is ( or who the potential "other" is...goebbels and himmler understood this...they were control freaks who were pigs for data too )...in today's n y times maddy albright says don's a fascist...i am not so sure..i am inclined to think he is an entitled immature self-absorbed jerk who can be led by fascists or authoritarian wannabes...i mean look at fucking bolton...in any event i will continue to express my views ( which you may or may not accept...it is still a free country...be advised you do not have the intellectual tools available to you to change my views...they have not been arrived at without some study...people in russia have begun to call putin "vozhd"..this is not a good sign..look it up ) until some bureaucrat decides i am a threat because of said views...this seems unlikely to me...i am not tremendously influential...still authoritarians are micro-managers...there could be a rumpus.
