Edward R. Murrow – Wikipedia

“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
~Edward R Murrow

Where are the Ed Murrow(s) of today? American Journalism is dying faster than Trump can kill it, and there are so few journalists who truly stand up for the principles of the free press. ALL sides should be reported, not just the popular viewpoints that are in “good taste”, and the discussion should be objective and thorough.

“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.”
~Edward R Murrow

The FDA’s Newly Proposed GMO Rules Are Nonsense

Why don’t we have truly independent agencies for things like the EPA, FDA and FCC? These bodies, which are charged with making the majority of the decisions that most directly affect the lives and safety of Americans, should NOT be under the influence of political winds of change.

How artificial intelligence can be corrupted to repress free speech

I am watching as free speech is routinely repressed in America through various means…and I grow more concerned daily. Any technology can be corrupted for use by the elements in our society who would prefer that we all just lay down and give in, no one voicing dissent against the all good and powerful Oz. I’m sure AI is dangerous for many other reasons as well.
I wonder how many people were saying “that could never happen HERE” in Germany in the late 30s. Do you think it could be more than who’ve said the same over the years about Orwell’s vision of 1984? I’m waiting for the book burnings foreshadowed by Fahrenheit 451 as the final sign before we begin the ‘transition of acceptance’ of our role as cogs in a bleak, faceless, Metropolistic future. #WelcomeToTheMachine folks.
