Big Dan's Big News Sept 22, 2010

See my post yesterday about the Pennsylvania Department of Homeland Security hiring a foreign country (Israel) to spy on you with your tax money, here's another video below about it. I hope the TeaBaggers are livid about this, so they can prove me wrong that they are a bunch of shill GOP idiots. Come on, TeaBaggers!!! Your silence on this will reinforce my negative opinion about you...the Israelis and the U.S. government are spying on YOU, too...but it's "OK", because it's not THE MUSLIMS, right? TeaBaggers are WIMPS, if they don't freak out about this. And what about all you Pa. NIMBY's (Not In My Back Yard) who scream and protest whenever a methadone clinic is opening? Israeli spies are "OK" with you in Your Back Yard? YOU are a bunch of whining FAKESTERS, too! As you can tell, I am livid about this and I'm not letting it go. Don't you love how in the midst of this, the media is giving former Pa. governor Tom Ridge a pass on any scrutiny in this story? No mention anywhere at all except here, that this Israeli security company is spying on Pa. Marcellus Shale drilling protesters for Homeland Security, and former Pa. governor Tom Ridge, who was in charge of the Dept of Homeland Security after 9/11 (remember the color coded terror alerts?) happens to be the new spokesman for the Reckless Drillers in Pa for whom this Israeli company is spying for? That is one BIG coincidence!!! Do you honestly believe Tom Ridge had no idea of this? But had the same, exact people SPYING for him when he was head of Homeland Security?

Former Pa. governor Tom Ridge admits ITRR, the same Israeli company spying on Pennsylvanians for Marcellus Shale drillers, issued fake terror alerts for him when he headed Bush's Dept of Homeland Security.




Now, let's revisit this video I posted months ago, here's a re-post of it below. Doesn't it piss you off a little more now, in light of these recent spying revelations?



Hitler would be proud!

No relation to Coors beer:

NEPA blogger Mark Cour on the Pa. Homeland Security/Israeli spying on Pennsylvanians.

Pennsylvanians: now that I've got your attention about Israeli spying in the U.S., take a look at this post again:

Israeli Wiretappers, the NSA, and 9/11: Are Members of the U.S. Govt Being Blackmailed by Israel and Others via Wiretaps?

Israeli spying on U.S. soil on U.S. citizens has never stopped, see this quashed FOX news expose from around the time 9/11 happened...if it's Israel, then it's "OK" with the U.S. government...whose side is the U.S. and Pa. government on, anyway?



You'll love this: watch for Tom Ridge's Homeland Security predecessor: ISRAELI Michael Chertoff:



Dual Israeli-U.S. citizenship: to whom are they loyal???


U.S. politicians (and there's LOTS of them usually not voted on, but hand-picked in cabinets) with dual-Israeli citizenship: whom are they loyal to???



David H. Koch in 1996. He and his brother Charles are lifelong libertarians and have quietly given more than a hundred million dollars to right-wing causes.

Charles And David Koch Exposed For Insidious Role In Crafting The Modern Right

Why do Americans only talk about rightwing talking points in the so-called "liberal media"? Everything from stoking up hatred towards Muslims, blacks, hispanics, women, Mosques, the unemployed, intellectuals, colleges and universities, welfare recipients...and ginning up support for tax cuts for the rich, raising the Social Secutiry retirement age, continuing the wars, continuing paying $2.5 BILLION a week taxpayer money for the wars. Who is on the so-called "liberal media"? Dick and Liz Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and rightwing, GOP pundits. Here's why: rightwing billionaires have financed FOX "news", rightwing think tanks such as CATO Institute, pundits such as Rush Limbaugh, and have taken over what was the "liberal media"...all the while having their guys still call it the "liberal media" (see the Koch family story above, too):

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."

  3. How about ITRR worked for Tom Ridge in the federal Homeland Security and ran the FAKE terror alerts for him.......and the SAME fucking company ITRR is the one in Pa. spying on us! AND...Tom Ridge works for the industry (Pa. gas drillers) that ITRR is spying on us for!

    HOW

    COME

    NO

    ONE

    IS

    MAKING

    THIS

    LINK?????????????????????????????

    It CAN'T be a coincidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That means the spying date from ITRR on the Marcellus Shale protesters goes right to..........TOM RIDGE!!!!!!!!!!! Just like when he was in the FEDERAL Homeland Security!

    Right?

  5. So, is the proper term really "quash"? Or can I use "squash"?

    ReplyDelete
  6. You know what my problem is? I don't forget anything. People are walking around like Bush wasn't president for 8 years, Ridge didn't have fake terror alerts, he's not spokesman for the reckless drillers, 9/11 never happened......

  7. NOTE:

    This Forbes article about Tom Ridge was changed. Originally, it was at a different link and mentioned that he gets $84,000/month, it mentioned his pay.

    Now, it's at this link: http://www.forbes.com/feeds/prnewswire/2010/09/08/prnewswire201009080835PR_NEWS_USPR_____CG60913.html with no mention of his pay.

  18. We NEED MSNBC. For decades, any Republican was allowed to go on TV (since Nixon) and can say any bullshit they want and never were challenged. 95% of what Olbermann/Maddow/Schultz/Matthews is needed and spot on. It shouldn't be "poo poo'd" because they're not talking about the 5% WE (myself included) want them to also talk about, like 9/11. It's still necessary and welcome, rather than non-stop GOP controlled TV.

    The bad part, the 5% is the most important. But like they say: don't make the perfect the enemy of the good........or something like that.

  19. OK, ONE mistake, the ONLY mistake I've EVER MADE...and I can argue that they did SQUASH the story...as well as QUASHED it...and I like SQUASH...

  22. Here's a good comeback for the rightwing talking point spreading about "social security is a ponzi scheme".

    CAPITALISM itself is a ponzi scheme!

  23. Here's what's funny, too, about that: I think FDR himself would admit social security is a ponzi scheme. And a good one that actually helps people.
