Look at how this is framed

This could happen to me one day.
Excerpt: The arrest of two unassuming academics on charges of spying for Cuba for decades serves as a stark reminder that the Cold War still rages between Fidel Castro's communist government and the United States, especially the Cuban-American exiles who vehemently oppose Castro.
I could too, like so many, become a victim of America's totalitarian regime where information is largely unfree -- or rather only certain information is free so long it remains in the common sense framework of our society.

Also look at how they throw in a reference to state controlled media in regards to Cuba but never mention America's corporate contolled media. Often times, bias is not so obvious in what is said, but rather bias is best deconstucted in what is never said. What slice
of the many slices of reality should we agree with? Are any of the many slices we are presented with an acceptable slice of reality? How many others are there that have never entered our flow of information or into our knowledge system? How many? We must all equip ourselves intellectully, there is no end to how much we need to equip ourselves. It is the responsibility of us all to put a stop to our nonsensical ideological and incessant babbling based on conservative and so called liberal frameworks. The frameworks we are presented with, the discussions that we partake in, the silly jokes we poke at our political institutions amount to nothing but an endless waste of time and serve only to uphold our present conditions.

We must point to the enemy, point to who and what shapes our consciousness, our thoughts, our debates, our cynicism, and our day to day lives and not fight using their ideological framework, to do so is to contribute to their game which is set for their victory. In its stead, fight on a new framework, based in a true reality, our true conditions, the real state of affairs, and this requires a reframing of the reality, a different debate, which, as free thinkers is our
responsibility.

This is our new task. Stop the silly banter and talk about something real, the real conditions in which we live.
