A Political Voight-Kampff
My view of past and recent events. I take a shot at just about everyone.
In the “age of information”, dis-information, snippets and sound bites still rule. The media is a cheerful ally to our fascist American duopoly. Profiting where it can from terrorism, disease, war and political unrest here and abroad. Neither US party can, or will change anything, as they are owned by Corporatations who pay the bills for elections. Corporations that pollute the air, water, ground and the minds of their “customers”. Corporations that mingle with and become entwined in government, a.k.a. Fascism.

The song is “Dialog” by Voodoo People. This features samples of a 1965 interview of Bob Dylan, where he absolutely trashes TIME magazine. I grabbed a bunch of images from the web over time and sort of strung them together around the song. Dylan suggested then to create a collage of images, so here is my take on that.
Beware the media-joker! Beware the sacred-religious cow!
Fascist, Communist, Socialist, or Capitalist: “Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” Frederick Douglass (1817 – 1895)
