Greetings good citizen, quite the 'show' last night [I was working and didn't see it] my 'home team' posted a historic 'come from behind victory' to make the duo of Brady and Bellichik the winningest quarterback/head coach combination in history!
Enough gloating, I didn't watch all season thus the Pats, Celts, Sox, Bruins or the Revolution have never broken my heart. [Professional sports IMHO are emblematic of what's WRONG with our society. Worse, sports are frequently used to champion 'rugged individualism' over mutual co-operation...[known to the conservo-whacko as 'socialism']
Left to our imagination is whether or not last night's event was 'choreographed' to play out as it did. Fans have been lamenting the fact that the last dozen Super Bowls have been 'routs' where an obviously superior team slaughters the 'also ran' in a two hour bloodbath.
So last night the 'fans' got their money's worth. Dupa Bowl 51 will be talked about for decades as other contests pale in comparison.
Somewhat like the Sox remarkable come from behind 4 game rout of the Yankees [the 'best team money can buy'] to win [for the first time in 50+ years] the World Series.
Come to think of it, Boston has seen a lot of 'firsts'.
I'm not going to count 'em down but I know most of you can name a few off the top of your head without too much effort.
Today's title points to another, er, 'conundrum' faced by the victims of technology, the wavering line between the real and the fabricated.
Sorting truth from fiction is becoming ever more difficult as those charged with keeping us 'informed' keep getting better with the use of the 'tools of mass deception'.
We are approaching an age where you really can't believe what you're seeing because the probability it was photo-shopped is all too likely!
Was last night's game 'choreographed'?
Don't know...but too many people saw it live to even entertain the idea that CGI played a role in the outcome.
The strongest case against the corporate owned media is what they DON'T show us. It is their SILENCE that damns them.
You can't make informed decisions without accurate information. If we knew everything we needed to know about candidates for office, nobody would run!
Point number one for the 'we're doing this wrong' crowd!
Which is to say we are 'perfectly capable' of making decisions ourselves, why do we let others vote against our wishes?
And most of the time, good citizen, it ain't even close!
Or should we say it's usually 'close enough' so your particular politician can use 'plausible deniability' as their defense for supporting legislation you wouldn't have voted for in a million years!
Some of them are 'slimy' enough that they will actually feign confusion, "I thought I was voting for something else!"
I'm not versed well enough in the mechanics of sports to explain how games are 'thrown' by key players but since that's all it takes, no CGI necessary, we can only speculate as to whether or not last night's results were the 'real deal'.
Just as we can only speculate whether or not the 'news' is real or fake.
You KNOW you're getting 'stroked' but can you detect it when it's an outcome you want?
There's the rub!
Given that the first thirty days of Trump's presidency has been a fiasco...left to our imagination is whether or not we are witnessing 'incompetence' or if it is being 'staged' for our benefit.
Until the other shoe drops, we won't know either.
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
