   *War, Freedom of Speech, Hollywood
   unFame.com says; they are one in the same. The following, opening paragraph, or prelude, may seem odd for this topic…see it through and discover why war and Hollywood should be spoken in the same sentence (when men are dying).

   Giving corp, media Hollywood a slight benefit of the doubt goes like this. 1.Perhaps corp is waiting for actors, artists to stop agreeing to contracts that they don’t fulfill. 2. In addition to this perhaps corp is hoping for same to stand up to them and say no when it’s appropriate for the sake of art regardless the potential of said actors, artists loosing all in the process. 3. Perhaps they use point one and two to toy with young artists and even destroy them because corp is unable to fully grasp art|media and/or manufacture it …see frustrated art managers with too much power and means. The obvious is this. Corp can no longer manage Hollywood affectively. It’s out of control and the proof is in the final product, lame cover up, and the absurd current US media. How embarrassing to be the manager of something as prestigious as the arts|media and turn them into something Internationally known as nothing but highly suspect and laughable.

   There’s an increasing awareness in the US concerning Hollywood, celebrity gossip, actors, news and media-monopoly. The corp Hollywood machine is relentless in it’s endeavors to strangle U.S. and global arts and media with it’s supreme control. This network includes the UK. It also extends into offices of high authority. Now considered universal common knowledge, by-products of this machine includes establishing and maintaining a highly distrusted, censored and slanted arts and film, news and publication forum. Corp Hollywood owns and/or controls most all US major radio stations, T.V. networks, music labels, publishing houses, news papers and magazines, Internet and major gossip-rags. Hollywood actors|artists are suffering the brunt of this destructive machine’s collateral-damage. The general population feels it’s effects indirectly via a sweet chemical-like gassing of celeb-biz-commercialism. Society’s showing symptoms of becoming mentally and emotionally stagnated, and becoming increasingly mis-informed and/or uneducated.

   Our current arts|media course is dismantling the arts, manipulating society and oppressing actors|artists. Hollywood is equivalent to royalty in the UK. It’s the figurehead for arts-media in the US. It’s highly unlikely that it’s by accident that this intelligent, corporate media monopoly machine undermines the importance of the arts-media by framing them as a silly commercial clown and defrocking it’s representatives?

   This implies that Hollywood dept-heads encourages the masses to consider Hollywood’s goings-on as just an after thought for the simple minded. Common sense suggest that being passe towards this issue helps enable Hollywood’s seemingly unstoppable machine. It could be argued that responsible societies who are interested in an immediate higher state of affairs for themselves and their children closely monitor the logistics of the arts-media…and consider the front cover of gossip magazines and slanted news blurbs not as a joke, but as a blatant and insulting indicator of an attempt at mass manipulation. Case in point; why are major world news stations filling air time with trite celebrity gossip in stead of hard news (especially when the topic of war is on the plate).

   It’s become beyond-ridiculously-obvious to most that the corporate monopoly machine of Hollywood, in conjunction with those in power throughout the United States with it’s silent consortium’s here and abroad, utilizes the arts-media to influence, manipulate and ultimately dominate. It could be debated that when the major corporate players from Germany first started out in the U.S. arts, in about 1920, “their eyes were big blue question marks”. Clearly, those eyes are now “big green dollar marks.” The old adage ‘control the media, control the people’ which the overly ambitious and single minded seek for unchallengeable supremacy is not worth debating. SAVE THE ARTS instead. Freedom of speech controls our society’s direction and Hollywood controls the media, or our freedom of speech|direction.

   In short; in the US if you can read it, watch it, or listen to it …Hollywood owns and, or controls it. Know what the rest of the world knows …it’s only commercials and slanted news with creative-art like-stuff thrown in to sweeten it’s palatability. It also serves as a public …in your face …platform for not so disguised debates and immature squabbles amongst the handful of dept-heads who own the US media.

   Awareness could lead to change. Another idea might be to take South Park’s suggestion in solving issues. Coax the corp Hollywood buggers out of their offices with reports of an unclaimed nickel on the sidewalk. Then as soon as they leave, sneak in and smear their walls, with a wide selection of your standard brown poo, all the way down to baby diarrhea green.

   If one wants to stop war or any other direction our society is currently headed …stop Hollywood …get our freedom of speech back. Any other futile recourse, especially intelligent debate or discussion is like a drunken man discussing a splinter in his hand.

   According to Jennifer Loven in The Associated Press:

   But the debate is far from over. The measure funds the war only through September 30 — around the time that military commanders are scheduled to report to Bush and Congress on whether the troop increase the president ordered in January is quelling the violence as hoped.

   Even Republicans have told Bush that a major reckoning is coming in September, and that they will be hard-pressed to continue to stand behind him if things do not look markedly better. Also due that month is an independent assessment of the Iraqi government’s progress on measures aimed at lessening sectarian tensions that are fuelling the violence.

   Between now and then, Democrats do not intend to stay quiet. They plan a series of votes on whether US troops should stay in Iraq and whether the president has the authority to continue the war.

   “In short; in the US if you can read it, watch it, or listen to it …Hollywood owns and, or controls it.”

   John, that’s the biggest piece of bullshit I’ve read today. Are you saying that Irregular Times is owned or controlled by Hollywood? Do you even know?

   John, it looks to me that you’ve copied and pasted a piece of comment spam here that’s not even really relevant to what’s being discussed.

   You do that, and then claim the high ground in a media critique?

   Oh, knock it off.
