And BTW, it seems to me that PBS intentionally tried to bury this interview by putting a pledge drive in its normal time slot. That way this particular Bill Moyers program couldn't be automatically recorded (or even found) by regular viewers of this weekly program. This is why I have always suspected that PBS stands for the Propaganda Broadcasting System

Obama prefers alcolol to cannabis ... drinks regularly

Obama plans regular happy hours in White House
Let's hope he doesn't let his weekly party pals drive home drunk.

Obama is a Hypocrite
I get a sick feeling in my stomach when I see him react this way:

If he wants to dismiss the tens of millions of Americans who use cannabis,
then perhaps we should dis him as well. He obviously has abandoned his roots.


The Voters' Uprising:
President Obama What Are You Thinking?

People everywhere learned a blunt lesson about power, who has it and who doesn't. . . . Just about everything is riding on how we navigate this unprecedented, and frightening, moment in history. And and our new president appears to be on the verge of squandering the enormous goodwill that swept him into office. . . . Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans' anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts, his presidency and, worse, our economy will be paralyzed.

Below are a few links to a few other stories dealing with this issue.

The Big Takeover Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone

It might not bode well that Geithner, Obama's Treasury secretary, is one of the architects of the Paulson bailouts; as chief of the New York Fed, he helped orchestrate the Goldman-friendly AIG bailout and the secretive Maiden Lane facilities used to funnel funds to the dying company. Neither did it look good when Geithner — himself a protégé of notorious Goldman alum John Thain, the Merrill Lynch chief who paid out billions in bonuses after the state spent billions bailing out his firm — picked a former Goldman lobbyist named Mark Patterson to be his top aide.

In fact, most of Geithner's early moves reek strongly of Paulsonism. He has continually talked about partnering with private investors to create a so-called "bad bank" that would systemically relieve private lenders of bad assets — the kind of massive, opaque, quasi-private bureaucratic nightmare that Paulson specialized in. Geithner even refloated a Paulson proposal to use TALF, one of the Fed's new facilities, to essentially lend cheap money to hedge funds to invest in troubled banks while practically guaranteeing them enormous profits.

God knows exactly what this does for the taxpayer, but hedge-fund managers sure love the idea.

The Spirit of the Internet:
Speculations on the Evolution of Global Consciousness

by Lorenzo Hagerty

Matrix Masters' Overview

The mission of Matrix Masters can best be summed up in the lines Franklin Rosemont wrote in his introduction to the writings of Slim Brundage, where he described Chicago's famous College of Complexes:

The aim of the College of Complexes, as an educational/recreational forum, was neither to recruit members nor to mobilize troops for the achievement of specific goals, but rather to inform, agitate, educate, emancipate, provoke, inspire, offend, scandalize, tickle, and excite.

Well, our aim here at Matrix Masters is to provoke an unmuffled, ungagged, and unsilenced generation of world citizens into speaking up and taking the actions necessary to wrest control from the privileged few and to reclaim this planet in the name of all the humans, animals, plants, and other forms of life who share its bounty.

And as for our name, “Matrix Masters”, we intend this as a reminder that ultimately YOU are the Master of Your Own Matrix . . . unless, of course, you have surrendered that right to someone else :-).

     Definition: Matrix — a mould, environment, or substance in which a thing is developed, a womb.
