Polls: The Media’s Heavy Artillery

All of a sudden there are strange turns of events portrayed as inevitable after years of war and economic collapse.  The Left is obviously “striking while the fire’s hot” under an unusually receptive political climate.  The election of a black president from out of nowhere was an interesting phenomenon. Women have entered combat positions and homosexuals now serve openly.  They also demand recognition in the Boy Scouts.  The Second Amendment and gun ownership are under serious attack.  Support for the legalization of marijuana seems to be popping up everywhere.  Perhaps the most startling ascendant issue, homosexual marriage, seems to be a shoo-in.  Hillary is posed to be the first woman president.  Conservatives are on the run and are doing “autopsies” on themselves.  The timing of all this is certainly noteworthy, but there seems to be an overlooked common denominator in all the commotion – a driving force.

I believe it’s all about illusion produced by the shadowy men behind the curtains of Pavlov’s Dream Machine.  Driving America’s news stories more often are polls, the softening-up heavy artillery of the Media.  Polls justify pre-arranged outcomes by making them seem inevitable.  When it comes to issues politicians want to be on “the right side of history” which means the media poll drives the politicians so don’t bother to call them.  Collective victories like those mentioned accelerate the leftist agenda and demoralize majority Americans who have no clue as to what happened.

Americans who’ve cast reading and critical thought aside for their electronic opium have no idea who their dealer is.  He cultivates polls as well.  His was the same hand that covered up the assassination of John F. Kennedy and appropriated the tabulation of the presidential vote in 1964.  That hand removed a vice president and president in that order.  It has seized national political conventions making them obsolete.  It starts wars and ends wars.  The Media is the power in America and has become the government, the mother hen that hatches out Republican and Democrat federal representatives, senators, and presidents.

What is the country to do?  If the cloak of secrecy was dropped, the artificial credibility of polls would evaporate. One option is to expose their absurdity by identifying the players.  They are who determines them.  One can make up humorous examples: the National Pacifist Association poll condemns gun ownership; the Death Row Inmate poll (+/-1) urges the elimination of Capital Punishment; the Brotherhood of Mexican Cartels’ poll shows support for open borders and so on.  Option two would be to replace them with national referendums tabulated by paper ballots.  I like option three the best: ban polls altogether as an affront to the will of the people reflected in elections.  Pull the FCC licenses of the offenders if they use political polls.  However, I believe the urge to subvert the will of the Silent Majority is too much for powerful men who want to impose their Utopian agenda.  The Media just can’t accept the position that the public airways should be free of its artillery shells.  Sadly it has a lock on perception.
