Well, our next speaker is also someone I've admired from afar.
We used to get his trans journalists at the office on Capitol Hill, and I'd always make Xerox copies and put them in everyone's boxes.
And I've enjoyed watching him.
He's an extraordinarily insightful person, a great writer, great speaker, funny speaker.
Watch his YouTube, you'll have a great laugh, and you'll learn a lot.
Mr. Gerald Salenti.
Thank you all very much.
And it is really, truly an honor for me to be here.
And last night when I met Dr. Paul, we started talking.
And he said, you know, when I began running, he said, I never was a politician.
I'm not a politician.
You know what a politician is?
Google it up.
Google up the definition of politician.
Oh, by the way, you know why they call those things handhelds?
Because everybody's masturbating in public.
They can't take them out of their hand.
And like Dr. Whitehead was saying, that's what everybody does now, and no one's tuned in.
Look up the definition.
A person who is professionally involved in politics, especially as a holder of or candidate for an elected office, a person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization.
So who's your favorite manipulative and devious jerk?
Who's your favorite politician?
Which one?
That's what a politician is.
The same people you hated in high school that wanted to be class president and head of the student council to wit.
This is from Barack Obama, July this year in South Africa.
Folks?
How he always folking us all the time?
Oh, folks.
Folks, you.
Unfortunately, too much of politics today seems to reject the very concept of objective truth.
Remember, this is coming out of his mouth.
People just make stuff up.
They just make stuff up.
Hey, sounds like Trump repeating himself, huh?
We see the other loss of shame among political leaders where they're caught in a lie and they just double down and they lie some more.
Now, remember, this is his words: politicians have always lied.
But it used to be: if you got caught, if you caught them lying, they'd be like, oh man.
Now they just keep on lying.
Yeah.
They keep on lying, said the arrogant, I'm really good at killing people.
Barack backtrack Obama, the Nobel Peace of Crap Prize winner who lied his way into office.
Yeah, folks.
Yeah, you liked that 33,000 troop surge into Afghanistan, didn't you?
How about that Libyan war?
And boy, how the liberals love them.
Can't say anything bad about them.
Almost got in a fight the other day.
True story.
At a bar talking to friends, and I'm saying what a bunch of lying SOBs all these people are.
I mentioned Obama's name because lower your voice.
I don't want to hear that about Obama.
And I try to stay cool.
I said, I'm sorry for raising my voice.
Politicians.
And what is this about today?
War and the media.
And that's what I'm going to concentrate on because they're the ones that keep taking us to war.
This is from a Trends journal, my magazine, from the summer of 2011.
As a political atheist, I belong to no political party nor adhere to any ideology.
At this early stage of the 2012 campaign, I would vote for Ron Paul for his bring home the troops, close the bases, shrink the military, end the drug war, bring down the Federal Reserve.
That's on page 23.
As we keep on going to page 32, and remember, this is about war and the media.
Paul's uncompromising end the wars, close all the overseas military bases, bring home the troops platform, should have been music to the ears of the liberal left.
A foreign policy dream come true.
What liberal would not support a president who pledged to end the war on drugs, legalize marijuana, and dismantle the Patriot Act that made a travesty of the Constitution.
Who wouldn't support that?
The liberal media.
What liberal media?
They're a bunch of freaks.
They're buyouts and sellouts, and what's the name of my address?
They're prostitutes.
They get paid to put out by their corporate Johns and their Washington whoremasters.
Period paragraph.
This is from a trends journal, summer issue 1997, 21 years ago.
Remember, this is war and the media.
Media dumbsizing trend jeopardizing nation.
This has been going on a long time.
And this is what I write.
America has entered into a period of information ignorance, an era in which the majority of people are uninformed about the news and events shaping their lives and the nation's future.
I go on to say, media dumbsizing began in earnest in the 1980s.
The three major TV networks facing new competition and financial pressure cut the hearts out of their news gathering operations.
They close bureaus/slash staffs and replace seasoned journalists and expert commentators with low-priced journeymen and overpriced, quote, star-quality newsreaders and little boys like Chrissy Cuomo and Anderson Cooper that are born on third base and thought they hit a home run.
Little nothings of anything if daddy wasn't Mario or your mama wasn't Gloria Vanderbilt, your little boy who was an intern with the CIA FU.
I can't put the two other words there, but they begin with a C and another one, you know what it is: Anderson Cooper.
Save your attitude, keep it to yourself.
That's who it is.
When I used to be on all the media, I'd run into Chris Cuomo all the time.
I used to be about Senan all the time.
You know what he used to do?
He had two little aides with him.
He used to talk about sports and pop culture.
And that is this arrogant boy, like all of them.
That's who the media is.
You know the numbers.
90% of the media owned by five corporations.
Thanks, Bill Clinton.
You love that 1996 act that did away with the Federal Communications Act.
When we used to have media for everyone, that's the media.
The concept of news continues to be devalued with the network steadfastly insisting the OJ saga, the who did it John Benet Ramsey case.
And you ready?
There's a Stormy Daniels figure for you.
The sexploits of national personalities warrant saturation coverage.
That's what the media is.
There is no media.
There's the alternative media that they are now doing away with.
And they're going to keep attacking it every way they can.
So when we talk about the war and why they keep selling it and how the prestitutes get paid to put out, this is from the June 2008 Trends Journal: Trends and Tragedies: America's Future: The People's Choice.
And I write about the book, What Happened, by Scott McClellan, the former press secretary for George W. Should be in jail, Bush, for lying us into war, along with all the other lying psychopaths and sociopaths that got us there.
That word justice, by the way, as Mr. Whitehead made very clear, means just us, not them.
They could commit any high crimes of any misdemeanor and get a free ride.
He goes on to say, making claims that, if factual, I write, constitute high crimes and misdemeanors, Scott McClellan said, he quote: Remember, media and war.
He said he knowingly passed on false information and spread propaganda.
And that President Bush knowingly lied the nation into war.
He accused the White House, quote, of spreading distortions, quote, shading the truth, speaking half-truths.
Guess what?
There is no such thing as a half-truth.
That's like being almost pregnant.
It's a lie.
But you can't call a spade a spade.
I won't get in trouble with that anymore because now Obama's not in.
They can't call me a racist.
He goes on.
I'm just breaking this down a little bit because we don't have a lot of time.
I believe the overall emphasis and focus on the national media was on the march to war, instead on the necessity of war, McClellan said.
What is the topic of this meeting?
War and the media.
He goes on to say: the National Press Corps was probably too differential to the White House.
And through it all, said Mr. McClellan, the media would serve as complicit enablers.
And I write, and so they did.
Quote, I think he's fairly accurate, said CBS's Katie Coric, of McClellan's accusations.
Quote, she said, there was such a significant march to war, and people who questioned it very early on, and really, as the war progressed, were considered unpatriotic.
Complaining of strong-armed tactics, Coric said there was a lot of pressure from the Bush White House.
There was a sense of pressure from the corporations who own where we work and who the prestitutes put out for, and from government itself to really squash any kind of dissent.
I think it's one of the most embarrassing chapters in American journalism, said Coric, who, like many others in the media, played the game and cashed their checks.
And I go, and then she goes on, we put this in here, quote, I just want you to know, I think Navy Seals Rock.
Katie Corick cheered from her Today Show perch when war broke out in 2003, bowing, quote, to the pressure of the corporations who own where we work.
Why Is The Media Not Covering It?00:05:50
There is no free media.
It's a joke and a very bad one.
It keeps going on one after another.
Why is the media not covering it?
Mr. Whitehead was saying about the police state that we're in.
Number one, there is no media anymore.
It's all been taken over.
There are newspapers.
Daniel McAdams was saying how he picked up the Washington Times as a little piece of nothing.
All of them.
Most of them bought out by private equity groups.
They fired everybody.
They got a couple of local staff stories.
There's no feet on the beat anymore.
It's all dead.
There's nobody to call them out.
It's up to the alternative media.
And that's under threat as we're seeing what's happening with Alex Jones.
Where's the outrageous censorship?
Boy, but you pick up the New York Times.
They call themselves the paper of record.
I call them the toilet paper of record because it's only good for one thing.
Boy, oh boy, do they talk about those Chinese censoring the Internet.
But it's okay for Americans to censor the Internet.
Dr. Whitehead said about the police state: quote, what is the mentality?
How could this keep going on?
It goes back to war.
The fish rots from the head down.
As I mentioned, what Katie Coric said.
There's one after another on this.
The fish rots from the head down, and all they do is sell us war and hate.
They should be championing Trump for what happened with Putin.
Instead, they put in our brain that we have to believe the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA.
And they say this seriously.
I'll tell you, Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction.
I've got the proof right here.
That's where America is going.
But I don't see it as a negative.
And a number of the speakers here today made the case.
The future is in your hands.
It can be changed.
And change is up to you.
This is from my book of everything I've ever written.
It's called What Zidzi Gave Honeyboy.
And Zidzi is the Neapolitan name for auntie.
Zidzi is your auntie.
And we're talking in here.
There's a great photo of her here.
You can see her picture.
She's a beautiful old Italian woman.
She goes, I'm writing this over here.
Except for a handful of big events, the share of network evening news segments devoted to international stories.
I wrote this in 2002, fell 50% between 1990 and 1997, according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs.
Nightline's Ted Koppel said: people like to reduce the news to good guys and bad guys.
Well, that's exactly how the war was covered.
I'm talking about the Kosovo War, by the way.
Serbs bad, Kosovo Albanians good.
Just as the networks give us laugh tracks to tell us when we should laugh, they give us mind tracks to tell us how we should think.
Quote: More Americans get their news from ABC than any other source with the final words blaring from the TV as I hit the off button on the remote.
I'm at Zidzi's house.
I say, boy, that's a scary thought, I said to Zizi.
And here's Zizi's words.
I'm out.
Now remember, these are the words coming out of an 83-year-old woman's mouth.
Most of what they put on TV is garbage, she shot back.
I listened to the news all day yesterday, Gerald.
What a bunch of shit.
They must think we're all morons.
Yep.
God bless Zidzi.
What a trip she was.
What a trip she was.
So here we are.
What could be done?
It's Up To You00:02:37
And again, a number of the speakers said it's up to you.
It is the police state.
The future is in your hands.
The Pentagon budget was just passed.
41 Democratic senators voted for it, seven against, 139 yes, 49 no in the House.
Dr. Whitehead said, how does the Constitution begin?
We the people.
So people say, you know, Gerald, you complain about stuff.
You have any suggestions how to correct it?
Yep.
Number one, none of these people represent me in the political parties.
Blockchain democracy.
You vote online.
If we could send trillions of dollars all over the world every day, and now with blockchain, once your transaction is made, it's blocked.
We could vote online.
You think it'd be better than any hanging Chads anywhere?
What is this going to polled stuff?
How about 1800s in a 21st century?
If we could bank online, we could vote online and bring direct democracy.
Oh, the people are too stupid to vote.
Oh, yeah, I got to look up to little Chucky Schumer.
No, I got it.
Diane Notso Feinstein.
No, maybe Nancy Out of a Mind Pelosi.
Hey, Lindsay, did you come out of the closet yet, Graham?
Oh, no, no, I like Paulie Ryan.
Oh, but he's leaving.
He's going back to play Eddie Munster again.
What do you mean we can't vote?
They don't represent me.
Do they represent you?
They represent the people that pay them off.
Imbeciles who get brainwashed in high school and college call it campaign contributions.
Adults call it bribes and payoffs.
So another thing that we're doing is an Occupy Peace Festival.
I launched Occupy Peace back in 2015, had Ralph Nader Cindy Sheehan, the woman that camped out in front of George Bush's place, Dr. Robert Thurman and others.
And I realized people don't care about that.
We closed down the streets in Uptown Kingston.
Occupy Peace or Burn00:02:57
I own three of the most historic buildings.
Seeds of democracy was sown there.
They don't care about it.
So I want to make it a festival, put music, entertainment.
And the slogan of Occupy Peace is, and a number of speakers talked about liberty: liberty, love, joy, and beauty.
Join the evolution.
That's what I want.
The hottest, happiest music this nation ever had was swingtime.
The Great Depression.
Everybody's dressed up.
They're having a time.
They broke.
No war.
No war mentality.
No fear and terror.
No freaks feeling you up and getting off on it when you get on an airplane.
No cameras everywhere.
No body scans.
We're feeling free.
You can't have creativity.
You can't have art and beauty.
You can't have spiritual advancement in a society of fear and terror.
Occupy peace or go down in flames.
The future of the country is up to you, said a number of speakers.
Keep fighting and shine on, said Cynthia.
Mr. Talib said, it only takes a minority, only takes a minority, organic.
They don't put peanuts in the plane anymore.
It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.
Samuel Adams.
And if it's good enough for him, man, it's good enough for me.
I was not put on this earth to take orders from, and I can't use the word here, but you could imagine what it is.
The freedom is up to you.
If you don't live for anything, you die for nothing, said Mr. Whitehead.
So whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Genius, or I should say boldness, has genius, power, and magic in it.
That was Goethe.
So the future is in your hands.
And I don't know if it was Jesus, Muhammad, or Buddha, but one of them said, you better boogie before the lights go out because tomorrow is iffy.
