• Statements contrary to fact
• Deliberate omissions of critical facts
• Leaps of logic
• Manipulation

Usually, the most critical points will be misrepresented or omitted altogether.

The mudstream media do not report the news, but distort the news. They do this not to inform you, but to control you.

Most people are aghast when I tell them, "I don't do news." They question how I can know what's going on. I have them pick a fairly recent event that has been covered by respectable sources, and then walk through it with them. Invariably, they didn't know what was going on but I did. They had only disinformation, and on the basis of falsehoods were forming their world view and opinions.

I let them come to that conclusion, though, rather than hit them over the head with it. My hope is that the mudstream media will feel enough pain from lack of audience that they will start providing actual journalism.

In the walk-through, I explain how the facts go together and what some of the sources are. Often, I will tap into their existing areas of expertise (everybody has some expertise in something) and use that as a basis for examining the "facts" presented by the mudstream media. This technique is something everybody should do and that everybody can do. Why people don't do it is beyond me. It's a basic brainpower exercise.

On a positive note, many people are increasingly doing this. Consequently, the mudstream media has seen a drastic drop in their audiences. They blame the Internet or something else external. They don't blame their own insulting product. People who think even just a little bit are so insulted by the manipulation, lies, and stupidity that they are tuning out. The decline in newspaper readership has nothing to do with the Internet and everything to do with being sick of being treated like you don't have a mind of your own.

Getting your "information" from the mudstream media is akin to jumping out of a plane with a known defective parachute. While technically you have a parachute, you are much better off not jumping out of the plane to begin with.

Nothing is gained by subjecting yourself to the mudstream media, unless you enjoy sharing myths and lies with other people similarly brainwashed. But if you respect your own brain and want it to function on the basis of fact rather than fiction, you need to vet your sources.

How can a nation of 300 million people, with all of the resources here, be so deeply in debt? It's called "crime."

You can find out who the criminals are by looking at their spending records here: www.ntu.org. BTW, our current president had the worst spending record possible (voted against you every time), which is why The Party put him where he is today. Ron Paul had an entirely different approach, and his votes were on your side every time. The mudstream media made Obama out to be sane and Paul to be a crockpot, instead of the other way around.

*If we can agree that money does not grow on trees, then govt spending = tax load. The money has to come from somewhere. It comes from you and me.

I remember as a kid, watching his television show. Mr. LaLanne's example still motivates me today. He's around 90 years old now, and at last report he leaves "physically fit" 30-somethings in his dust.

When asked about his "diet," Mr. LaLanne states his simple philosophy: "If it's made by man, I don't eat it."

The highly processed grains that make up a big part of the American diet also make up a big part of why medical care is such a big part of our budget.

The fact that it's not a felony to contaminate food with corn syrup or hydrogenated oil is amazing. These two toxins kill more Americans each year than plane crashes and automobile wrecks combined. I suspect the problem is almost as bad in other countries where food is replaced by manufactured garbage and people actually eat it.

Here's an article that explains more about the topic: http://www.supplecity.com/articles/processedfoods.htm

As regular readers know, I was 48 years old in the picture (above, right), taken in December 02 2008. I don't diet down for summer. I don't have good genes for maintaining a lean body, either. I really have to be conscientious and disciplined about it. That doesn't mean I suffer, eat bland foods, or starve myself.

At www.supplecity.com, you'll find plenty of informative, authoritative articles on maintaining a lean, strong physique. It has nothing to do with long workouts or impossible to maintain diets. In fact:

• The best workouts are short and intense.
• A good diet contains far more flavors and satisfaction than the typical American diet.

Nor does it mean being hungry all the time (you are less hungry on six small meals a day than three large ones), being weak from hunger (on a proper dietary regimen, you will have much more energy than otherwise), or "giving up pleasures" (I have no idea where this concept comes from, unless a person considers being sick a "pleasure.")
