Facts and Fiction


Before the turn of this century we were told stories.. Fiction and Science Fiction..which the possibility of coming to pass could be anticipated.
Although a matter of Fiction.. Fiction was based on an interpretation of Facts... Facts and those possibilities created in fiction.
Facts, possibilities, fiction and outcomes.

But things have changed and now it has reversed . Outcomes, fiction, possibilities and facts. Changing the facts, changes the possibilities, and changes outcomes. Choose the outcome by changing the facts

In 2012 HBO did a series called "The Newsroom" Where the truth in facts would create the truth in outcomes. It was fiction based on facts. It wasn't a pretty picture of America. The show wanted to change it., but somehow it just exacerbated it.

The outcome wasn't what many of US wanted. and somehow, some believed they could change the outcome by not changing the fiction, but by changing the FACTS.
If people could accept the wrong facts, they could change the right outcomes

"The Newsroom" watch it or watch it again.. Realize the show was done in 2012
Not only great information but a great fictional story . Whose fictional; parts have become realities.

In 2012 there was a blip of story on 'Newsroom".. all one had to do was look away for two seconds to miss it. I missed it in the two times I have watched it.. but not the third time. I HAD to look it up to see if it was true. The facts of it are my comment. WE have paid dearly for not doing something about it when it was happening. and still happening.

In 2012 the "Newsroom" reported facts.. in a fictionalized account.. Some people who watch it now would believe the FACTS it reported were pure fiction.

27 January 2011............"Over the course of 21 years, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas repeatedly broke a government ethics law requiring that federal employees disclose their spouse’s income and employers, an open government advocacy group, Common Cause, reported last week.

In response, Thomas on Monday filed papers admitting his wife, Virginia “Ginnie” Thomas, was gainfully employed by right-wing and pro-corporate lobbying groups. Thomas sought to alter financial disclosure forms going as far back as 1989, two years before he joined the high court.

The revelations illustrate the advanced rot of the American judicial system and the control that corporate money wields over the highest court in the land. Thomas and another right-wing justice, Antonin Scalia, trample upon basic precepts of the judicial system—non-partisanship, court impartiality and the rule of law—with impunity, safe in the knowledge they will be shielded by the Obama administration and the court’s liberal wing.

Virginia Thomas, an outspoken Republican and widely regarded as the most partisan Supreme Court spouse in the institution’s history, was paid $686,589 from 2003 to 2007 by the right-wing Heritage Foundation, according to Internal Revenue Service tax filings. It is not yet known how much she was paid between 1998, when she was first hired by Heritage Foundation, and 2002. It is also not known how much she was paid in 2008 by right-wing Hillsdale College of Michigan for heading up its Washington D.C. constitutional law program. She earlier worked as a lobbyist for the US Chamber of Commerce and as a congressional aid to former Texas Republican Dick Armey, who is now a leading figure in the Tea Party movement."

It's amazing to "The Newsroom" 2012.. first of it's a really good dramatization, second of all...the event it speaks have changed in name but not in realization..
since 1012 we have not progressed one iota. that was the plan.. That was the strategy, that was the conspiracy. of the Far Right, the Moral right, and the Autocratic form of government.
We are repeating it all.

Those people would not believe that the FACTS reported in this newsroom in 2012.. were FACTS.. We have been led to no longer believe in FACTS. not the stories..... the events and the FACTS.


I lived those FACTS.. and no one can tell me different.

Maybe, but we would have to see some aliens..

the show was made ten years ago.. and could have been made today.. in fact even more appropriate today.

for those who watched it in 2012 it was just a dramatization. A kind of a feel good, feel bad kind that maybe would have seemed created through FACTS of little consequence. the love story and the moral story was great. made you laugh, made you cry..with political and social commentary in the background.

For those who watch it now.. There would be two different takes....It would be a prognosis or part of the "great conspiracy". A fraud of "liberal media" based on Lies that have continued to this day. there were many little blips of informations that had hardly no meaning then, that simply went over your head then. but somehow, now feel important. Like the one cited above..about Virginia Thomas
and another about the Romeny campaign and Romeny's meeting with Donald Trump. in 2012 that simply had no meaning to me then. I can't imagine in 2012 why they would even mention it in a blip.
