Making killing machines into "Cool gadgets and awesome machinery"
The Legendary Kalashnikov via RT
The world's most well known defense machine AK 47 created by its namesake ex Russian general Mikhail Kalashnikov whose recent passing a few days before Christmas has both stunned and relieved millions of people around the world who had first hand experience with his machine. Its origins based on defending soldiers in battles when he himself was injured during a gunfight in world war 2 and why its still regarded as the weapon of choice for most of the world including rebel groups to special elite forces.Rise of the Drones on NOVA program PBS
Some defense companies and American military hope that drones can replace infantry and military airmen in the future to reduce the cost of human deaths (soldiers) and equipment. Drones are regarded as a cost effective way of overcoming an expensive military budget. The drones appropriately named "Reaper" ie Grim Reaper (Death) and "Predator" loaded with Hell Fire missiles are controlled from trailers and other buildings by American military men and women with a video game like joystick via satellite. But it comes at a high expense to civilians in the countries it is used in. The future use of drones have been dubbed, "Terminator Planet"

A documentary on how military and other armed forces recruiters overlook or sugar coat warfare and actual life in the military when recruiting young men and women. Many new recruits have had a rude awakening once entering the force. The remaining parts can be watched hereThe Other side of American Democracy
The US has long prides itself on having an exceptional Democracy one that has not been changed or collapsed through foreign occupation or outside pressure. The US Constitution is over 200 years old and its amendments has changed due to a combination of social unrest, movements and nation wide protest. For the most part, the political system has remained stable even in political tensions that would lead to coups or military takeovers in other countries. There has not been any dictators or regimes equivalent to the fascist regimes in Europe in pre and post War years sitting in DC or other states. However for all the pat on the back that Americans give themselves for having "the greatest Democracy in the world," the rights and humanity of some American citizens have been ignored by the very system and institutions set up to protect them from government violations of human rights, violent discrimination and opposition to them. For the constant championing of being "a nation of immigrants," for decades immigrants from Southern Europe, Latin America (Central and South America), Asia and Africa were discriminated against on a local and national bases in the workplace, schools, media imagery which aided in alienating and demonizing immigrants as not only swamping the US education and health services but in the age old context of "them not following our way of life nor comprehending our values and society." Even religious minorities such as Jews and Catholics were negatively discriminated against and treated as existential threats within the US society which was a Protestant majority country for most of its history until 1800s. JFK, remains the US' only Catholic president and also faced discrimination for being Irish as a child in Boston. Despite being new money in the 1920s, the Kennedys found Boston to be a hostile place so much so that the Kennedys relocated to New York. When Republican candidate Mitt Romney ran in the 2004 Presidential elections, he also found American society equally skeptical of his religion Mormonism. Some voters outright said they would not vote for a Mormon president. Despite women and African Americans' enshrined rights, women still face violence on the streets, schools and homes in addition to machismo that subtly fills the media and culture across the US. The mainstream media and white American often accuse African Americans and other Americans of color of playing the race card or seeking racial entitlements for rightfully demanding further equal rights and protection against institutionalize racism.

Shoot the President: 50 Year Anniversary of the JFK Assassination
50 years has passed since President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas. However, the Kennedys still remain the most popular of Presidencies and first family. The assassination of JFK one of the first televised shootings of a public official and confusing events at the time, has spawned its own conspiracy theories for decades. The image of the lone gunman (as Lee Harvery Oswalkd came to symbolized) was still uncommon and unheard of in the media. In the 1960s, Oswald was an unusual assassin not the general rule. Violence in the US was not at the level it would be today. Gun violence was also not at an alarming rate.

In the context of the war on terror: American christian and right wing fundamentalist have no regard for human life, America's gun culture creates a breeding ground for terrorists going back decades and Americans have been killing their own people (including women and children) long before many dictators and militant groups in the Middle East and Africa.

Aurora shooting: What's Wrong with White Men?
Desperate mother shot dead by police
During the first week of the Government shutdown, Mariam Carey a depressed mother and dental hygienist who was laid off the previous month led the Capital and DC police on a high speed chase from the White House to Congress located on Capitol Hill. Like the Navy Yard shooter, she was originally born in Brooklyn, NY but moved to Connecticut after high school. She was fired from her job as a dental hygienist in her hometown in Stamford, Connecticut. Many Americans are laid off from their jobs each year. Depending on the person's anger, their actions are usually peaceful or vengeful. Losing a job is devastating for many people without mental problems. It leads to high stress especially for workers who have children or large debts to pay. It makes a person also feel shame that they are not financially independent and must either rely on the government or others for financing. In the US, people are taught from the crib that one develops best through independence financial and social. Anger from job lost and a feeling of failure adds to daily frustrations. Both depressed and fearing that the President was monitoring her, Mariam Carey drove from her home in Stamford, CT to Washington, DC with her eighteen month old baby daughter. She went first the the main barricade leading to the White House's main entrance where she exchanges some words with secret service than drove at high speed a mile and half from the White House down Pennsylvania Ave to Congress in a high speed chase that was treated more as a threat to the city and the politicians. At Capitol Hill, Carey was cornered briefly by capital police who tried to force open her car door only to speed off again perhaps out of fear of being shot at by police. She was shot dead when her car came to a second final stop by police. Her daughter is now without a mother. Despite being seen as an "isolated incident" by police, Carey was treated as a potential terrorist throughout the ordeal that lasted less than an hour. A bomb squad was later sent to her house to inspect an envelope left on the living room floor with a sugary type substances.

Kid to mom: Mom why are Muslim women always covering their hair? What is a veil?
Media has been used by both governments and ordinary people to dehumanize so called the other of the world
and enemies during wartime and even in peace time. Beginning in ancient times with the ancient Greeks, Persians, etc.
Dehumanization has led to severe consequences to people in the former colonial, developing world.
From Libya to Algeria, Palestine, Indonesia and China, U.S. mainstream media has dehumanized millions of ordinary
people as it became the new superpower in post world war I atmosphere and pushed for Democracy. From the Monroe Doctrine keeping the European colonial powers
out of Latin America and Caribbean but suppressing self determination for ordinary people of the region during 19th-20th centuries to the recent occupation and destruction of Iraq.
Aggressive Foreign Policy has been justified by pundits, politicians and so called experts on the Middle East, Africa, Asia, etc
on behalf of promoting human rights, womens rights, freedom, peace and Democracy similiar to Europe or U.S. instead of allowing non-Democratic countries to allow it to grow from the ground up.
Through the lens of vilifying anyone challenging American, European and Israeli foreign policies in the Middle East and Africa, numerous pundits have demonised citizen protests against aggressive foreign policy, horrifying wars, destruction of Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Palestine-Israel, Sri Lanka, etc while quoting government officials without challenging the wars in above countries or examining the history of the colonized world, consequences of disproportional force on civilian populations or exhalation of "fight the terrorists over there." Politicians and lobbyists, similar to their predecessors with aid from media pundits such as O'Reilly, Daniel Pipes and Glen Beck have continued to equated Muslims regardless of country, culture, history and hertiage with otherness, orientalism, irrational violence and terrorism. Guilty by association has left a lasting wound and impression on many countries who view U.S. foreign policy and silence from western governments as compliancy with the destruction of Iraq, occupation of Palestine, misunderstanding and ignorance about the troubles and instability numerous African countries. At the same time humor has also served through its sacraism to reveal an unflattering truth about the ignorance of politicians, reporters and ordinary people when it comes understanding history of Middle East and Africa.

Palestine does exist: Robot Chicken Rock Lord toys in Palestine & America
Robot Chicken, the famed stop motion series on the nightly Adult Swim program of Cartoon Network featured Palestine as a country in its skit Rock Lords about ungrateful children and parents who go to great lengths to appease their children's wishes for the best Christmas gift. This is significant for a comedy skit because for the first time Palestine is mentioned as one of many existing countries in the world. A Palestinian (Christian) family is treated on equal level with an American family. This probably the first time that also Palestinian Christian community and Palestinian Christians have been portrayed on cable TV and in the form of a comedic skit that doesn't paint the typical image of the Middle east as synonymous with Islam while ignoring the millions of Christians Arab, Armenian, Assyrian, Chaldean, Mandeanan, etc who are some of the world's oldest Christians (Christianity did not originate in Europe but Palestine and spread across Mesoapatima, Egypt, Ethiopia and North Africa before reaching Europe. Nor is it the sole ownership of Europeans) following a range of domination Syric Church, Coptic, Maronites, Armenian, East Orthodox (both Greek and Arabic). We see an ordinary Palestinian family watching their son unwrapped his gift (in the same manner as an American child in the beginning of the clip) a rocklord toy that he folds up and transforms into a stone to throw an Israeli soldier near his house. Robot Chicken has dealt with Israel Palestine as a topic before but not on a human level such as the skit above. The previous skits focused on the peace talks via a comical take on the Fanta commerical in the skit below.

On the fears of extremism in the UK and blaming Palestinians for illegal Israeli settlements aka colonies in Occupied Palestine.Explaining away the brutal Israeli occupation in Palestine
Israel supporters and pundits will always find a reason or an excuse to justify Israel's heavy handed use of military force and crack down on Palestinians men, women and children no matter how harsh or collective punishment for a militant terrorist group's actions in the form of rockets or bombings.
 |
| The Pundits and Israel supporters say: "Those people (Palestinians) are their own worst enemies. If only they loved their children more than they hate Israel." |
 |
| Pundits: "Hamas fired rockets first and has been threatening Israel from day one. Therefore Israel has a right to defend itself. It is going after militants and terrorists." Never mind the fact that the majority of victims of Israeli assault on Gaza are civilians with half being women and children as well as the elderly. |
 |
| Some of the "collateral damage" as presented on news feeds |
 |
| "But they were warned in advanced that Israeli forces were bombing Gaza." Gaza is one of the densely crowded placed on Earth. Most families in Gaza have nowhere to run or hide during an incursion or bombing As British journalist Robert Fisk correctly said, "Israel knows its bombing children." |
 |
| "The security wall (ironically called a fence) has lowered terrorism significantly in Israel. It actually works! It is necessary." The security wall or separation/Apartheid wall confiscates Palestinian land, separates Palestinians from one another and has caused irreversible environmental and social damages for rural Palestinians who rely on farming, tourism and businesses for their livelihoods. |

Media has so greatly out-grown as an institution that its leaders as well as ordinary journalists can not now sit down and introspect on the rationale of the foundation-principles of the profession. They blindly choose news that would interest people !Any question beyond this angle and priority is blasphemy to their ears. Better such preachers call upon prostitutes, or underworld operators to review the rationale of their professions ! All are same as far as institutionalization of their professions are concerned.
