ONE MILLION IRAQI'S DEAD

We're #1! the "liberal media" - HA HA!!!

The #1 story censored by the corporate owned media (that's not liberal, wake up!) is that we have killed over ONE MILLION Iraqi civilians in the Iraq War. And don't forget, Sadaam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11 and we're spending 2.5 BILLION dollars a week over there. You're a hypocrite if you're against "big government" and not against big government spending 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS of our taxpayer money a week during a financial crisis which would, among other things, cover all AMERICANS with health care! You're a hypocrite if you are a 2010 candidate for ANYTHING and you talk about cutting spending and DON'T talk about cutting big government military spending. You are a hypocrite if you are a talk show host or a blogger and you're interviewing a Republican candidate (OR a Democratic candidate, but especially a Republican) who's talking about cutting spending and you don't ask them: "What about military spending?" The Bush regime drove us into a financial hole with these wars and then when a different administration comes in, the Republicans scream about the mess THEY made: "We have to stop spending!!!" And what is the Obama administration doing? Continuing the military spending and asking what social programs should be cut for AMERICANS! Just like the Republicans want! And Obama's going to cause another Republican president like Bush by not stopping the wars and ramming through health care. Because of the corporate media sham of pretending to be liberal, passing anything liberal is a big, uphill battle. Just look at this censored story, censored by the "liberal media". LOL! You are a FOOL if you think corporation owned media is liberal! Where is your PROOF that the corporate owned media is liberal? I provide proof almost DAILY that it is not. WHO is saying it's liberal? The people who usurped it! Remember when obscure reports came out that we killed over a MILLION Iraqi's? They said it was "conspiracy"? WHO are THEY? The same ones who control the mainstream media and call it "liberal".

Over one million Iraqis have met violent deaths as a result of the 2003 invasion, according to a study conducted by the prestigious British polling group, Opinion Research Business (ORB). These numbers suggest that the invasion and occupation of Iraq rivals the mass killings of the last century—the human toll exceeds the 800,000 to 900,000 believed killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994, and is approaching the number (1.7 million) who died in Cambodia’s infamous “Killing Fields” during the Khmer Rouge era of the 1970s.

#1 CENSORED STORY - Over One Million Iraqi Deaths Caused by US Occupation in Top 25 Censored Stories for 2009

Let us begin by asking ourselves, “Who OWNS the corporate-mainstream media?”

And of course, the answer is large, very large, corporations own the corporate media.

But, who owns the controlling stock of these large corporations, and controls their “news” and aired content?

The answer is the foreign, privately owned International Monetary/Banking Cartel, that controls the money and credit of the world. Make sense?

Now, if one will study the long and infamous track record of this private Cartel, and correlate its activities with the corresponding “news” of the day, one will soon see the reciprocal relationship between that news and the subsequent national and international events.

You see, the corporate media does not so much reports on news events, as it prepares the stage to justify the various covert actions then taken by the Cartel.

Who Are Their Prey? All of Us: From the Left and Right

When war is peace and right is center. It's not 1984, but Newspeak lives on in the media's skewing of the terms of our political debate

The NYT Veers Neocon: Many American progressives don’t want to recognize how bad the U.S. mainstream news media has become. It’s easier to praise a few exceptions to the rule and to hope that some pendulum will swing than to undertake the challenging task of building a new and honest media infrastructure.

How did this come to happen to this poor mother’s son? It came to happen because the people in the media who are supposed to foster a public debate on such public issues as war instead used their franchise to promote articles about chocolate cake and comic book reviews. They see their free press as free to choose not to look when bad thinks happen. They feel no need to explain to his parents or to anyone that the war that blew off half of this poor boys head was based on out and out lies.

Did you ever think that our unemployment rate in America is largely due to the below: corporations roaming the world for cheap, vulnerable labor? That's YOUR job going over there! And the corporate owned media isn't telling us this! Did you ever notice the mainstream media never talks about outsourcing? Start CONNECTING THE DOTS on how these things all tie together!!!

In its mission statement, the National Labor Committee (NLC) highlights the problem stating:

“Transnational corporations (TNCs) now roam the world to find the cheapest and most vulnerable workers.” They’re mostly young women in poor countries like China, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Haiti, and many others working up to 14 or more hours a day for sub-poverty wages under horrific conditions.

Because TNCs are unaccountable, a dehumanized global workforce is ruthlessly exploited, denied their civil liberties, a living wage, and the right to work in dignity in healthy safe environments. NLC conducts “popular campaigns based on (its) original research to promote worker rights and pressure companies to end human and labor abuses. (It) views worker rights in the global economy as indivisible and inalienable human rights and (believes) now is the time to secure them for all on the planet.”

An older Gary Wright sings "Dreamweaver" in video 1. He's always been intense and emotional, that's why I love him. In video 2, it's Gary Wright's band Spooky Tooth from the late 60's early 70's with "Tobacco Road". This band was heavy and intense with a lot of blues. "Tobacco Road" features high/low dueling trade-off vocals that sound like the Righteous Brothers: the low vocal is the great singer Mike Harrison, the high falsetto is Gary Wright (unbelievably!). On "Tobacco Road", listen to Luther Grosvenor's growling guitar in the background. The 3rd video is a reformed Spooky Tooth playing in Germany around 2007, the song is their classic "Evil Woman" featuring Mike Harrison and Gary Wright on dueling lead vocals again. The 4th video is solo Gary Wright on the Midnight Special with his mid 70's hit "Love Is Alive". Gary Wright became good friends with George Harrison of the Beatles and helped George out on many of his projects. You can usually see Gary Wright credits on George Harrison's albums. Both Wright and Harrison had in common the mutual search for peace of mind through religion:

How The Republican Noise Machine works, current case study: the Missile Defense Logo:

"There's a buzz on the internet" and "Some people are saying"...

Rachel Maddow points out how The Republican Noise Machine works: a rightwing site like Breitbart starts a ridiculous rumor and it ends up in the mainstream media on CNN. Notice when it gets to CNN "reporting" this "news", CNN says there's "a buzz on the internet" and "some people are saying". That's the key to the whole thing. Rightwing smear machine sites start rumors and SOMEHOW get them on mainstream channels like CNN. I want to know HOW they get these rumors on CNN! I want to know EXACTLY WHO on CNN ran this story! And when they cow tow to the rightwing smear machine, I want to know why they don't say it and instead say things like "there's a buzz on the internet" and "some people are saying", instead of saying "rightwing smear machines have started another rumor". First of all, saying "there's a buzz on the internet" and "some people are saying" is not professional reporting. What has become of CNN? That is exactly why I don't watch CNN anymore. They are constantly played like a fiddle by The Republican Noise Machine. "Some people are saying" MY ASS! It's The Republican Noise Machine! "Buzz on the internet" MY ASS!!! Buzz on crazy rightwing smear machine sites! F.U. CNN!!! And the story is NOT this logo conspiracy theory, it's the mechanics and the machine that rightwingers have in place to usurp the mainstream media to run with this "news", THEIR "news". Long ago when the mainstream media was actually liberal, they ignored (and rightly so) stories like this and sites like Breitbart and people like Breitbart because of what they actually are: the lunatic fringe right. Just remember what the mainstream media has become, like CNN, when you see a logo story like this as "news" on CNN attributing it to "buzz on the internet" and "People are saying". The liberal media has been usurped and isn't liberal anymore. And the people calling it liberal are the ones who usurped it. Think about it: WHO is saying the mainstream media is liberal? Only people like Rush Limbaugh and Breitbart...THE ONES PLAYING THEM LIKE A FIDDLE!!! When you usurp something, you want to keep people thinking it hasn't been usurped so you will go out of your way to keep calling it liberal. Learn what they don't want you to learn: that the liberal media has been usurped! Learn that when you see someone calling it "the liberal media", they have just identified themselves as one of the ones who usurped it. Did you ever notice how many times a day Rush Limbaugh says "liberal media"?

Another one of the endless smear stories the rightwing media has gotten into the so-called mainstream "liberal" (LOL!) media:

More Devastating Response to NYT's Outrageous Hypocrisy in Refusing to Correct Inaccurate ACORN 'Pimp' Hoax Coverage

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), in the video below, describes on the floor of the U.S. House this week what anyone paying attention already knows: how the "Rightwing Echo Chamber" works. He describes a completely false charge by Wall Street Journal's professional liar and GOP operative, John Fund, last November alleging --- with no basis whatsoever --- that Rep. Barney Frank (D-VT) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would soon be introducing legislation for "universal voter registration." This is just like Frank Gaffney on Breitbart's site started the rumor of the Missile Defense logo. A rightwinger starts a rumor and it goes into the machine they have in place, the echo chamber, until it gets into the "mainstream" who repeat it. That doesn't say much for the so-called mainstream liberal media does it? It isn't liberal anymore. These people who start these rumors were at one time ignored as fringe radicals, which is what they are. Now they are in the mainstream, the liberal media that isn't liberal anymore. Orly Taitz, anyone?






The Republican Noise Machine

David Brock, the reformed conservative noise-maker, on how the Right has sabotaged journalism, democracy, and truth.

As a young journalist in the 1990s, David Brock was a key cog the Republican noise machine. Writing for the American Spectator, a conservative magazine funded by billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, Brock gained fame for his attack pieces on Anita Hill and President Bill Clinton. Then, in 2002, Brock came clean. In his memoir, Blinded by the Right, Brock admitted that his work was based on lies and distortion, and part of a coordinated smear campaign funded by wealthy right wing groups to discredit Clinton and confuse the public.

Since then, Brock has continued to expose the conservative media onslaught. In his newest book, The Republican Noise Machine, Brock documents how right-wing groups pressure the media and spread misinformation to the public. It's easy to see how this is done.

Fringe conspiracies and stories will be kept alive by outlets like Rush Limbaugh, the Washington Times, and the Drudge Report, until they finally break into the mainstream media.

Media groups like Brent Bozell's Media Research Center have spent 30 years convincing the public that the media is, in fact, liberal. As Brock says, it's all a sham: "I have seen, and I know firsthand, indeed from my own pen, how the organized Right has sabotaged not only journalism but also democracy and truth."

Just remember: the Killer Whale didn't go "nuts" when he attacked the trainer, he was "nuts" when he was doing tricks...

Trainer makes fatal mistake with Killer Whale. Yeah, here's the fatal mistake: fucking with a Killer Whale! Let me say that I wouldn't "fuck around" with a several ton animal that had the world "KILLER" in it's name. I know! Call me crazy! The Killer Whale went Killer Whale, IE it acted like it's supposed to! When it was doing "tricks", THAT is when it wasn't acting like it was supposed to! wtf? I think we should have a military trial for this Killer Whale for acting like a Killer Whale. If found guilty, I suggest waterboarding in Gitmo! He was already out on parole for killing two other people. The Killer Whale's name was Tilikum, which means "friend". Tilikum is your "friend".

NYTimes won't retract the FALSE story that James O'Keefe dressed as an over-the-top outrageous pimp in his "sting" of ACORN offices.

Is it because rich white guys keep trying to take down a black organization that helps poor blacks register to vote? Racism? Because ACORN registered a MILLION voters that voted for Obama? That is what the Bush/DOJ scandal was all about, you know! Bush Department of Justice attorneys refused to bring false charges against ACORN, so he fired them.

Bill Maher interviews former (REPUBLICAN!) US Attorney David Iglesias from New Mexico spelling out the basics of the scandalous firing of the 8 US Attorneys. But what makes this clip unbelievable is when guest Lisa Schiffren, a conservative commentator, argues that its okay for US Attorneys to be political and thus, selectively enforce the law against Democrats and not Republicans. OUTRAGEOUS. Coming from the law and order party also makes it SHOCKING. That the underlying politicization involved efforts to steal elections and thus circumvent our democracy makes it EGREGIOUS.

Iglesias says the Bush administration wanted him to make up false voter fraud charges against Democrats (& ACORN) right before elections to make them look bad and that's why he was fired. GEE! Does that sound familiar? Making things up to make ACORN look bad? So, this O'Keefe/Breitbart is just part of an ongoing REPUBLICAN PLAN to take down ACORN because they register poor black voters who tend to vote against Republicans! The real reason behind the Bush/DOJ scandal is not widely known by the American public because the "liberal media" has been usurped by the same people who are trying to take down ACORN.

The New Yorker: Decoding Rush Limbaugh's Racism



A couple of studies released last year produced surprising results about the average consumers of right-wing media. “The dirty little secret of conservative talk radio is that the average age of listeners is 67 [so now 68] and rising … [The] Fox News audience, likewise, is in its mid-60s.” In addition, a Pew study in February 2009 found that 72 percent of Rush Limbaugh’s grizzled Dittoheads are men and so have a life expectancy of 75.6 years, which means this cohort will expire by 2017. Limbaugh will be 60 next January, which means he will be 67 when his average-aged listeners die off.......

Washington Times: A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center.

BD: here's what gets me about 9/11 - there are THOUSANDS more experts who don't buy the "official fairy tale" pushed by the government, politicians and the corporate owned media. The architects and engineers, the REAL EXPERTS, don't believe the government's official story. There ARE NO EXPERTS who believe the government's 9/11 story. WHERE ARE THEY? THERE ARE NONE! The very simple reason I don't believe the government's 9/11 story, is because all the scientific experts don't, either! NONE! ZERO! ZILCH! Think about who told you the official 9/11 story: the media and the government. Are they architects and engineers? FIND ME AN ARCHITECT OR ENGINEER WHO BELIEVES THE GOVERNMENT'S 9/11 STORY!!! Sorry, but this isn't going to go away, in fact, it's growing because it's the truth. There's nobody who didn't believe the government's story and now they do, but everyday there are more and more people who believed the government's story who now do NOT believe it! Do you understand: 1,062 architects and engineers (and growing) say it is IMPOSSIBLE according to science and physics that the airplanes hitting the Twin Towers brought them down at free fall speed in seconds into POWDER & DUST! And 47 story WTC-7 went down the SAME WAY BUT WASN'T HIT BY A F*CKING AIRPLANE!!! Here's why this movement keeps growing: because when architects and engineers look at what happened, they arrive at the scientific conclusion that it's IMPOSSIBLE! They cannot come to any other conclusion. There is only ONE conclusion for them to come to. But let's backtrack a little bit and try and find the "experts" who can prove the government's story. Good luck! There are none! Because at the time, the "experts" were the media and the government...and they aren't experts.

"We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted.

BD: The media was liberal at one time. It did hold the powerful accountable. What better plan was there than for the powerful to usurp the liberal media and keep calling it liberal? The reason they call it liberal is because it was liberal before they usurped it. So, it follows, that those who keep calling it liberal, like Rush Limbaugh, work for the powerful.

Is it me? Or is the media ignoring the Afghanistan War? Did you see a countdown like we used to have, leading up to the 1,000 soldier killed? Remember they'd start reporting before it hit the milestone? I didn't see any of that. In fact, I didn't see any stories when the 1,000 soldier died. Did I miss it? It's in it's 9th year and I don't know why we're there. If we're there to beat someone, why didn't we beat them yet? Why are no REPUBLICANS who are candidates in 2010 or elected REPUBLICANS mentioning that we're spending 2.5 BILLION a week on these wars, when they say we need to cut spending? They keep saying to cut spending in health care, education, and things like that. Never the wars. They want MORE for the wars! Furthermore, they are never ASKED by anyone in the media why they don't mention military spending! I think there's a lot of rich people making a lot of money and that's why we're there. That, and the poppy fields. Why else are we there? Do you know why? Never in my life have I seen a government so disconnected from the people. 99% of us have no representation in the government. The reason Obama is losing his popularity is because he isn't STOPPING the wars and isn't ramming through HEALTH CARE FOR ALL! Not because he's "socialist". That's bullshit!

Pennsylvania schools spying on students using laptop Webcams, claims lawsuit. Class-action suit alleges schools remotely activate Webcams on school-issued notebooks

Thursday, Feb 18th, 2010 A school district in Philadelphia faces a class action lawsuit after it allegedly issued laptop computers to 1,800 students across two high schools and then used concealed cameras within the machines to spy on students and their parents without their knowledge or consent.

Lower Merion School District in the suburbs of Philadelphia faces charges of invasion of privacy, theft of private information, and unlawful interception for providing computers with webcams that were remotely and covertly turned on by administrators.

The suit was brought on behalf of all the students and their parents after it was revealed that the computers had been used to monitor students both at school and at home.

The case, Blake J. Robbins v. Lower Merion School District (PDF), was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, February 16, 2010.

According to the filing, the actions of the school district were exposed when one of the schools vice principals disciplined Mr Robbins son for improper behavior in his home, and used a photo taken from the computer camera as evidence.
