Michael Moore’s Sicko being pirated is a beautiful multi-pronged publicity stunt. On the one hand it simply gives the movie more exposure; on another, it shows that since the "indy film" is so anticipated as to make people want to see it before it is even released then it must be good; and on another hand (this beast has more than two) it legitimates its underground, leftist appeal. The fact that Michael Moore is not being ignored by the mass media has to make folks wonder if he is really as radical as he seems. But, as a clever red-herring to make people think that he thinks low and unsure of himself--you know, as an outsider renegade--he is now questioning the success of the movie in lieu of it's having been pirated, saying that if too many people can watch it before the opening weekend, the movie industry might not give it as wide a distribution.
Yeah, right. The distribution and sale of a propaganda film that has been made by the phony left--and thus The Giant Media Corp.--to contain the debate on the medical industry is going to be undermined by individual theatres? Well maybe the film will flop, that is if the powers that be on top, the spindoctors, can’t invent controversies like this piracy crap to make people curious, to trick more victims of this soulless propaganda into seeing it. Whether it makes any money or not at the box office is not the motive of the Giant Media Corp. anyway (you can't have any more access to resources than infinite access, therefore money means nothing to these peopole) they just want people to see it and take it ALL in, only to be seduced into thinking that the only problem with the medical system is that it fails sometimes to cure everyone and sometimes insurance policies are hard to enforce by their consumers.
The movie does nothing but tell us what we already know.
Michael Moore. Yawn.
Meanwhile, we have all of the conservative and “liberal” news hounds barking about it. The conservatives call Michael Moore a liberal hack, and the liberals call him a refreshing voice, a voice for the common man.
And that is exactly what he is: a voice for the common man. His work is a prepackaged, sterile, contrived, tool of big business to 1) give a vent to common frustration; 2) to give the illusion that the mass media does allow dissent; 3) to contain the debate; 4) possibly to manufacture consent for a socialized healthcare system which would make it mandatory for mothers to give their babies shots and infant formula and many other totalitarian pressures to the people it chooses to “treat.” The new socialized healthcare system can suck people into the vortex of the medical mafia where they can be tagged and sterilized with any one of thousands of fancy new killer pharmaceuticals.

Hey Omnimental, nice work here, I have yet to come across another who can sort through the shit as efficiently. Your incisive views posted at RI caught my attention. I had long since given up with the toil of reading at RI but I was following a link, so I did my duty and followed the thread like any good researcher.
I could see the truth and honesty bursting through your angry and frustrated words, yet to the regulars over at RI the aesthetics of the words were all that mattered. You were summarily banished from cross dialogue, and for good reason. You weren't really seeking it. You like me find the general locust of perception wanting within the various groupings which orient themselves towards 'otherly'.
You keep posting and I'll keep reading. We'll see where it all goes shall we.
A question: Why the beat up face as your blog costume? Are you in a state of perpetual bruising?
A representation of how you feel is what I surmise...
angelo said: yet to the regulars over at RI the aesthetics of the words were all that mattered.
Well, it didn't really matter to them, it was just ripe for distraction from my analysis. This treatment I recieved there is textbook provocateur shit: I have proven that and now have deemed RI to be yet another layer of the seemingly eternally diamatrous onion, another gatekeeper. Fuck them.
Why can I be the one to tell it like it really is? Good question. I, unlike "Jeff" at RI, will never make any "rules" about calling people out on suspiciously COINTELPROish behaviour.
You see, angelo I, like the "terrorists" and "martyrs" of 911, have nothing to lose. I am already being harrassed as much as humanly possible and with no remedy without looking totally insane. I have resigned myself to the idea that if the gang-stalking, "self-policing" mafia is going to eff with me so much, I am going to make it cost them as much as I possibly can. That is my angle.
And yes, I do feel quite like a bruiser at this point. But fuck it. Who cares, right? We are all jaded American e-lovers, bloggers with our rough exteriors, flaming the bitches; we are all bruisers who have seen it all in our electric, disconnected communication; no time for those who "play the victim" or others who tell it like it is first-person-like, from experience, instead of making conjectures about someone else. I have had enough of the "conspiracy" for several lifetimes. I have experienced firsthand what many would kill themselves over. That's all.
These old-hat, poseur, tough-guy, usenet-style assholes who reduce all conversation to contests of social grace and netiquette are totally irrelevant and beyond reproach, i.e. they should be exterminated slowly with some insidious, invisible gas.
If you want to really hash out some real shit, I take NO prisoners. I kill on first crossing (figuratively speaking of course). Up for it, angelo?
Like none other dear omni.
Okay, so, what do you think about The Nation, Mother Jones, Alternet, Zmag, South End, Prison Planet, Rigorous Intuition, and the rest of the the layers of the onion that run even deeper than those?
I feel like they do have some good stuff, if one is willing to sift through the horseshit long enough to find it. There are names, dates, and some analysis. Chomsky does do analysis that is rich, but one must read into it deeply and use what they know otherwise to fill in the gaps Chomsky-types leave in hopes the dumb, lap-dog "activist" crowd won't be able to fill in those gaps.
For instance, when Chomsky starts talking about Columbia and drugs, he studders when it comes to naming names and whatever; he just insinuates. Blah, blah , blah.
No one has any BALLS. Fuck it!!!!! One must have balls!!!!!
I would do time just to be able to hurt badly some fucking mind-controlled, deluded idiot who is convinced that they are entitled to all of their luxuries because they are "aware." hahahahahahahahaha
Aware?
hahahahahahahahahahaha
They are where they are because they are willing to do things that they can be blackmailed for, they are willing--or stupid enough--to commit indescretions while they are in college that oblige them to remain in the circle forever, forever holding on to theirs and the secrets of their peers, who are in the same boat as they are.
In short, the people who are allowed to have money and power in this world are the ones that the real powers that be can control and tempt with stupid bravado and pride. The pyramid is full of fucking predictable, normal, idiots.
The Knights Templar would be turning over in their graves to see the ilk of "Masons" that now poison our sense of knowledge.
Puke and spit for them, the fuckin' cuntheads.
