Between grass and ass.

The crowd at doors was typical intelligencia. Grey looked gentlemen bragged to similar pale friends about knowledge of TV and spontaneous humor. Something like that “Flintstones” in not just old show but “prehistoric”. He was very proud for paradoxical literacy of remarks. Happy rainman frozen in childhood. Name Brzezinski is quite emotionally charged for me. In Soviet Union Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski was called ‘jarui’ (very difficult to find adequate word in English – in general it means restless, absolute bias bully) enemy of Russia. Actually politically correctly was to speak that he is enemy of Soviet Union, but everyone understand that he hates Russia and Russians as most apologists of Poland independence. With oversimplification sense Poland was passing backyard for wars between Russia and other European countries enthusiastically joining winners keeping fingers crossed. Last occupier before birth of Zbigniew was Russia Empire so he hates Russians. Yes, primitive but pathologically. Let’s just take an Afghanistan. Soviets invaded it in 1979. If it would be pacified like it was done for other middle Asia territories like Uzbekistan by Russians ,who knows how to deal with tribe populations, for now Afghanistan should be quiet sort of civilized country. No al-Qaeda, no suicide bombers – atheists value the only life they have high enough not to waste. There would be no 9/11 attack, no stupid wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Brzezinski as security adviser was too blinded by ultimate goal destroying socialism to think strategically in interest of USA. His personal revenge agenda lead to boycott of Olympian Game in Moscow at 1980. Thanks a lot little man with global chess board in dispose.
Socialism was destroyed. We had free health care there but can not produce good jeans. Ironically now US democrats dream about free health care and already outsourced clothes manufacturing to communist China. Congratulations with your victory. Now you can continue to wit with map of conflict. Thanks again from all victims.
Anyway Mika Brzezinski wrote a memoir. She is a part of cast one of the best slot for morning TV and want to monetize popularity. Fear game I think. I am not a moralist in any way but fascinated very much by elasticity of human physic. Specifically I would like to research the conflict of TV personalities who forced to keep real thought under mask of optimistic object of sexual fantasies performing act of seduction into image of word constructed by owners of TV networks.
If you are actor or prostitute your job is lying to entertain customers. Until both sides accept rules of game there is no dishonesty. It is a part of free market. And it is not really interesting until Joan married hooker. Even this is not too intriguing, it happens. Fun part begins when legitimate and respectful sometime in past profession transforms its premise and basic culture. Young person could want to be journalist being inspired by Watergate scandal when truth seekers toped down most power man just for small lie about miniscule event. Since then some mechanisms of establishment protection from independent jurnalists were built into mass media. They just rid off independence in profession. Facts, not theories, not opinion, just iron hart facts will be pushed out from public attention if THEY decide that people better don’t know them.
No one of so named “journalist” will ever say on air not recommended truth.
It happens that I know same such facts. They can be found in open sources, never officially classified to best of my knowledge, but they could have explosive effect on public perception if followed in manner like Nancy Grace hunted Scott Peterson. He is legitimate for TV target. Upper echelons of intelligence community are not. Too dangerous for poor Nancy.
Specifically I refer two days event with Statue of Liberty. Just three weeks before 9/11 of 2001 there were two days in a row of evacuations of Statue of Liberty. Aug. 22, 2001 all tourists, three thousand of them, were taken out without explanation. My son was there. (Later on I dig out that it supposed to be bomb threat). Next day, Aug. 23, 2001, there were parachute stunt with landing on the torch of Lady. I am sure that if any anchor of TV show on air asks Rudy Giuliani about bomb threat evacuation of Statue of Liberty the history will make sharp turn. There is a logic of breaking news. He will pretend, then lie, then reveal some, then criticized by political rivals, then ask why he hided facts, what other facts he never told about… No so named ´journalists´ will ever do this in these days.
Mika Brzezinski in presentation tries to project an image proud professional accomplished the by hard work and righteous of character. But by statue of family she must to know things these she cannot reveal to public. I just wanted to know how she lives with herself. How prostitute could convince herself that she just likes sex and money is only pleasant surprise from lover. What she think about herself? Is she consider her profession as journalist or representative of crowd of one billion ticket owners before paupers ? My impression was that she sees people outside narrow circle of family as under human. You cannot lie to animal. Public in crowd are not reference group. Hence there is no shame to lie or keep ill-informed somebody who is not from upper elite. Maybe it’s true. It works for Madoff until bankruptcy after many happy fruitful years.
I asked question about censorship and gave Statue of Liberty as example. She was shield by Barnicle who unfortunately came late, pretended not understand question and mumbling porridge about bias in media.
Sorry Mika, but I still want to know… Maybe not…
