Just another town meeting!
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”
right wing extremists!
or, if you're Scott Horton and Glenn Greenwald, civil-libertarian extremists. The best way to denounce socialism is not in stentorian terms, but in shaming it by laughing at its absurdity. If there was a caricature of Bernanke in Saturday Night Live, that would be amazing, but that's not going to happen because "Live, from New York!"
Satire should be applied to every type of media possible. For instance, NPR, National Public Radio, is now, NPR, National Propaganda Radio. Or, instead of using FRNs one should use the world currency. Or, a candidate for congress promises to usher in the new world order. Or, the "world-wide" supremacy of a Muslim caliphate ruled by the non-state actor, Osama bin Laden, who's presumably dead.

We need to build political strength and political will.
the onion movie totally rules.
i recommend watching it. i used to read the free onion newspaper in chicago. homeless people there try to sell them to tourists coming off the buses and trains at union station.
The national emblem...
for "Octavia" really kicks a$$ (I have to say that because a henchman is pointing a fake gun at me and threatens to yell at me if I don't comply).

Assert Your Authority
I have word, on good authority, that the federal debt would be
substantially reduced, if not eliminated, if we abolished the Federal Reserve bank. I wouldn't spread that around, though, until I had confirmation of that.
For some reason, we're expected to know every law that exists in America & in our state so we don't break it. We're supposed to know this when we're 18. There's no litmus test for them, as in the 10 commandments or rhyme or reason. C.U.R.E.
Given the penchant for "false flag operations"
and other lies and "works" that they do, it wouldn't be out of character for them to try it.
This isn't that far from a real possibility.

This could pass for news
This could pass for news these days. Most Americans will believe anything they see on TV. That's what makes this so sadly funny - how real it is.

Michael, do you recall that ruse where someone posing as Arnold Schwarzenegger called Joe Scarborough and suggested we should blow up the moon? Funny stuff and Joe took the bait.

Regardless, that was hilarious.
Does anyone know
the history of the Onion?
Where does their money come from? Who is producing these slick pieces?
They have seemed to come out of nowhere, and are touching on some very sensitive subjects. They seem to have production facilities that rival
CNN, and Fox.
I was just curious about the inner workings of these guys, and if there is some other agenda besides turning serious subjects into comedic spoofs.
Taking tin foil hat off now.

From Wikipedia:
"Two juniors at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson, founded The Onion (originally published in Madison, Wisconsin) in 1988; the following year, they sold it to Scott Dikkers and Peter Haise, for less than $20,000 ($16,000, according to the Washington Post[1]; a 2003 Business 2.0 article reported the figure was $19,000[4]). Reportedly, it was Chris Johnson's uncle, Wm. Nels Johnson, who came up with the idea to name the paper The Onion.[5] "People always ask questions about where the name The Onion came from," said former President Sean Mills in an interview with Wikinews, "and when I recently asked Tim Keck, who was one of the founders, he told me...literally that his uncle said he should call it The Onion when he saw him and Chris Johnson eating an onion sandwich. They had literally just cut up the onion and put it on bread." According to former editorial manager, Chet Clem, their food budget was so low when they started the paper that they were down to white bread and onions"
It feels to me like the
It feels to me like the Onion has been around as long as the internet has. I used to read their online newspaper (when it was in that format) and sometimes I picked up a hard copy around where I used to live in the 90's that someone in the neighborhood would print out.
They certainly didn't come out of nowhere, the Onion has been around for a long time. I think they have gotten so popular for the same reasons that the Daily Show and Colbert Report have. People see the absurdity in the false reality that we are given and thus gravitate towards something that will give them the news in a format rife with entertainment and silliness.
