Mystery of No News on Holidays (Conspiracy Nation, 11/21/01) -- It's likely there'll be no notable news from now until Monday, Nov. 26th. The government and their bureaucrats are off work; the corporate big shots are home with their families; news facilities are staffed with skeleton crews. The usual troublemakers have gone away for the Thanksgiving holiday. There is peace. On the other hand, the late William Cooper once warned that if the usual troublemakers wanted to stage a surprise attack, Thanksgiving would be the perfect time: the rest of us stuffed with turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, digesting the afternoon in our easy chairs, would be off-guard, Cooper warned. Logging on to the Drudge site and clicking on "breaking news" this afternoon, Conspiracy Nation discovered that on Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 21, 2001, there was _no_ "breaking news." No big crisis. No machinery of government, corporation, nor journalism churning out constant upset. See how nice it could be if every day were a holiday? Mystery of no news on holidays: the troublemakers are away from their paid labor of, respectively, scarey laws (government), rotten deals (corporations), and lies (journalism). Most others are intoxicated with too much food. The remaining outcastes are poking around Internet, wondering where all the news went. The LATEST BREAKING NEWS (note the upper-case letters, so it must be important) will be back, fear not, come Monday, Nov. 26. With all the digested food in their stomachs, the lawmakers, the dominant corporations, and the mainstream news persons will be especially full of shit. This means that, come Monday, there will be lots and lots of BREAKING NEWS. In the meantime, it looks like we can relax, read a nice book, and enjoy life as it was meant to be -- unless they are about to launch a surprise attack. |
