Dulling Down Dr. King s Message

Gary G. Kohls, Consortium News: The suspicion that King s gospel-based nonviolent message has been effectively scrubbed from our consciousness was reinforced for me a few years back when a shirt from Atlanta s King Center had printed on it the ''seven steps to social change.''

''Die Medien könnten die größte Friedensmacht der Welt sein, stattdessen werden sie als Kriegswaffen eingesetzt'', sagt Amy Goodman. Kriegskritiker kämen in den USA praktisch nicht zu Wort, abweichende Meinungen würden ausgefiltert. Die Medienkonzerne gäben oft nur die Positionen der Konzerne und der Politiker wieder, die von Konzernen finanziert werden. So schrumpfe die von den Medien abgebildete Meinungsvielfalt in den USA zunehmend. ''Ich nenne es 'die zum Schweigen gebrachte Mehrheit', denn diejenigen, die gegen Krieg, gegen Folter sind, die wegen Armut und der Kontrollmacht der Unternehmen tief besorgt sind, sind keine Randgruppe. Sie sind nicht einmal eine schweigende Mehrheit, sondern eine Mehrheit, die zum Schweigen gebracht wird. Sie wird mundtot gemacht von Medienunternehmen, und das müssen wir ändern''?'' Das Interview mit Amy Goodman auf Kontext.tv vom 18.01.2013 http://www.kontext-tv.de/node/314

There are few better ways of grasping how far the Republicans have abandoned the middle ground, where they used to win elections, than the way their leaders have become agents of the gun industry. Conservatives used to consider themselves law-abiding citizens who put great store by the permanence of institutions, by the rule of law, and by the traditional caution and common sense of the sensible majority. Such devotion to stability, continuation, and moderation explains why so many conservatives were alarmed when the social revolution of the Sixties erupted. Suddenly, it seemed, everything was on the move...
