Joining the Fight Against Corporate Control

THE MOST POPULAR RADIO PROGRAM in the middle of the American night is, hands down, "Coast to Coast A.M.", with host George Noory. Millions of listeners, midnight to four, every night/morning. The subject matter befits the nocturnal time slot. Its entirely out of the ordinary. UFOs, extraterrestrials, ghosts, the paranormal, and government conspiracies, for good measure. Throw in a little real science from time to time, and no wonder its popular; its interesting, if a bit late at night. Recently one of the show's most popular hosts got fired, and much of the show's audience is screaming bloody murder, screaming corporate conspiracy, corporate control. Screaming that the reason the host was fired was because he refused to advocate the corporate viewpoint, and instead insisted in expressing his thoughts independently, the worst of all sins in corporate America. And undoubtedlly all that is true, and more power to the angered audience. As if they were the first to notice corporate control. Hell, any liberal worth his salt has been screaming about the corporate takeover of America for, oh, what, over a hundred years? And now that its actually happened, the people at large scarcely notice it, and then only when it directly affects them. To the fans of "Coast to Coast A.M." I would say; if you don't like corporate control, even if only because it finally has impacted your weird paranormal corner of the cosmos, then welcome to the club. Welcome to the struggle, to the war of rich versus poor. And maybe next time enough good patriotic Americans have enough guts to get out in enough American streets in sufficient numbers to make a difference, please, feel free, don't be bashful, make yourself at home, on the front line of the fight against global corporate control.
