Just what is the Fargo Phantom?

Publisher’s Response

Fargo Phantom is a collaboration of local professionals, financial advisors, entrepreneurs, educators, physicians, farmers and what many may refer to as a “crackpot.”

All writers have selected a “Phantom Name” due to the controversial content and editorial mission of the publication. The decision was made to help protect their professional standings in the community.

This underground newspaper is dedicated to seeking truth and justice and revitalizing the role of the free press as a guardian of liberty. We remain faithful to the traditional and central role of a free press in a free society – as a light exposing wrongdoing, corruption and abuse of power. This is why we are not accepting advertising for this venture. This is why we have assembled a arsenal of writers from all walks of life and income status.

Fargo Phantom is also designed to stimulate a free-and-open debate about political ideas facing the Red River Valley. Through educating and advocacy, we will continue to promote democracy. One constant motivation is the old-fashioned notion that the principal role of the free press in a free society is to serve as a watchdog on government - to expose corruption, fraud, waste and abuse wherever and whenever it is found.

Fargo Politics: Nothing New Under the Sun

North Dakota Politics

All societies have believed there own crap. Thought that they had it all figured out. One thing they fail to get is that nothing changes. On average every hundred years or so give or take five to ten everyone here on the planet is dead, and gone. In other words no matter how old the person when you read this every one alive from that point on should be gone in no more than a hundred years. Simple enough until you really think that is about 5.2 billion people recycled every hundred years. And 90% of them thinking that they are the ones that will make something different. Without paying attention to the why and how the ones before have failed. I don't want you the reader to believe that I am trying to project a pessimistic tone. I don't believe in it. The whole idea that you have to be pessimist to be a skeptic is wrong. You just need to not be afraid of what you find. Now I know what most are thinking the Internet, space travel, nano technology to name a few these things are new. People in the past used to know some thing, but not understand it; we I believe understand more but know less. An example of this is in ancient Persia a remedy for rheumatism in you legs was to stand on a special fish. Today we know that the fish had a electric charge and the problem was arthritis. I have no fish nor do have health insurance. What I want a person to think about is who's life was more convenient? All we have done is created
a codependency on our great new stuff. Fire, soap, and Penicillin have saved more lives that anything Pfizer has come up with. In other words a Roman had running water, wood and oil delivered to there home for heat and light, and an abundance of food (( all on the backs of the weak) this is for the democrats/pessimists). I have to work my ass off for food with preservatives, toys with lead paint, overpriced electricity all while paying huge amounts of interest on borrowed money.

The only thing the future hold is more pain unless we learn from the past. Soon we will forget all of the things that have been figured out and be in caves again clubbing women to breed and wondering why raw chicken (squawky birds) make us sick.
