As far as the spin-doctors are concerned, breaking news in the nation appears to be that the unemployment rate has held steady at 9.7 percent -- a rather sunny outlook indeed, which almost certainly does not truly reflect the actual figures.

But it certainly does fall in line with promoting the efforts of a failing president who doesn’t appear to be willing to raise so much as a finger to address the real issues which still harangue the nation’s markets and overall public net worth.

It’s so nice to be inundated with messages which praise the fact that the nation is still on a backward slide that has cost another 36,000 jobs this quarter, while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, celebrity shenanigans and duplicitous political agendas are splashed across the screens and magazine covers with minute by minute accounts of obese self-indulgence and lavish perversion amid the burgeoning theatre of depravity they abide.

Children have become the media’s new trick-ponies while maturity is denigrated as some form of mental health affliction to be avoided and medicated.

The gap in wealth across the nation is increasing and bureaucratic corporate pandering is at an all time high as the Supreme Court consistently rules against the sovereign individual -- in flagrant contempt for the constitution and the rule of law -- and rewards corporations for misfeasance, mendacity and environmental assault.

The working class can certainly wave goodbye to another round of jobs next quarter as the nation’s leaders push for more authoritarian rule with the assistance of big corporations, who by the way will shed more jobs as the impending grasp of accountability seeks to press them to pony up their share, and attacks the strategy of off-shore tax shelters.

More small businesses will go under because they cannot garner the subsidies awarded to large, often criminally complicit, conglomerates who can afford to buy legislators and pay lobbyists.

In this economic hail storm integrity is the new guillotine buzz-word for assuring one gets a pink slip, and the miscreant observer, shaking down consumers for kicks, is the new pro-talent in a corporate world that will spend more on lawyers and judicial bribes than they will on coming into compliance with the law.

Barack Obama’s Wall Street pandering and defunct foreign policies -- feigning diplomacy with a hidden dagger -- have only succeeded in further destabilizing the real estate market and sent shockwaves around the planet which will take decades to subside.

Countries such as Haiti are getting a full helping of Obama’s slight of hand as he furthers the aims of foreign companies which daily disregard the will of the common citizens who make up that nation. He has conscripted the United States Military for the express purpose of nation building while the Americans daily lose jobs, homes and lives here at home.

Nowadays breaking news in the nation has become an entirely less than genuine helping of pragmatic propaganda dished out by a monopoly of media moguls who have gobbled up much of the nation’s news deliver network as it went bankrupt in the slide to the bottom.

To all of the preposterous purveyors of disproportionate distraction, who obviously are doing everything they can to destroy this country’s auspicious heritage…“Do me favor and hold the applause until we crash…will ya !?”
