"Take The Crown"

So sorry

So sorry

But you're going down

Under the lights and thunder

We come to life

You roll the bones and wonder

What fate decides

The screams, the frenzy

Reveals the worst

As hearts of many

Hunger to be first

Let's state the obvious right now

We'll be victorious

We'll take the crown

Just like we've always done before

You're digging in

We'll step around

Cause in the end

We will stand our ground

Blood on the diamond flowing

Tears fall tonight

There is no sense in hoping

You won't survive

The sound and fury

Will shake the earth

As cowards scurry

Knowing we've returned

Let's state the obvious right now

We'll be victorious

We'll take the crown

Just like we've always done before

You're digging in

We'll step around

Cause in the end

We will stand our ground

You will bow down in the end

Know our reign we will defend

Young and impossible

As we stake our claim

In the league of unstoppables

Your resistance in the end will be in vain

Let's state the obvious right now

We'll be victorious

We'll take the crown

Just like we've always done before

You're digging in

We'll step around

Cause in the end

We will stand our ground

You're going down but we're so sorry

You're going down but we're so sorry

The CIA and the Media: 50 Facts the World Needs to Know

Since the end of World War Two the Central Intelligence Agency has been a major force in US and foreign news media, exerting considerable influence over what the public sees, hears and reads on a regular basis. CIA publicists and journalists alike will assert they have few, if any, relationships, yet the seldom acknowledged history of their intimate collaboration indicates a far different story–indeed, one that media historians are reluctant to examine.

When seriously practiced, the journalistic profession involves gathering information concerning individuals, locales, events, and issues. In theory such information informs people about their world, thereby strengthening “democracy.” This is exactly the reason why news organizations and individual journalists are tapped as assets by intelligence agencies and, as the experiences of German journalist Udo Ulfkotte (entry 47 below) suggest, this practice is at least as widespread today as it was at the height of the Cold War.

Consider the coverups of election fraud in 2000 and 2004, the events of September 11, 2001, the invasions Afghanistan and Iraq, the destabilization of Syria, and the creation of “ISIS.” These are among the most significant events in recent world history, and yet they are also those much of the American public is wholly ignorant of. In an era where information and communication technologies are ubiquitous, prompting many to harbor the illusion of being well-informed, one must ask why this condition persists.

Further, why do prominent US journalists routinely fail to question other deep events that shape America’s tragic history over the past half century, such as the political assassinations of the 1960s, or the central role played by the CIA major role in international drug trafficking?
