Seven Corporations control all the major media in America. Hitler used it Bush did too!
The Native Americans had it right, how can anyone really own the land or at least more than they need to survive. Unfortunately in America we now have corporations and rich individuals, who are all incorporated, have put Corporate Greed ahead of the future health of our nation. WalMart is a good example of a direct pipeline replacing made in America goods and jobs with cheaper foreign imports and forcing companies to ship jobs off shore to compete. We have a former president who used intelligence clearance to invest in Stocks and options of corporations that profited from a war his son started with lies and distortion. Because Reagan/Bush eliminated the "Fairness in Media " standards, now only Seven Corporations control all the major media TV, Cable, Radio and Newspapers in the country. This is reminiscent of when the Nazis were able to control the minds, prosperity and attitudes of their people while committing atrocities and mayhem not seen in their controlled media. Now Bush has allowed these seven corporations even more control of the media for the next election. It goes back to the 1%, if they can control what the masses see, hear and therefore the feeling of a nation, the majority of our nations people are being led like lemmings about to jump off a cliff. Bush has spent so much money that at the projected rate of repaying this deficit back todays 18 year old will be 97. Unfortunately the whole world is watching and getting the whole news, while we Americans are fed a censored view of what is really happening. I try to explain to young people today (anybody under 50) that America was able to see and read a true and less biased view of war during the Viet Nam war when creditable news coverage showed what is honestly happening. We do not see the neighborhoods destroyed by misdeployments of bombs, we don't see that there are as many contractors as soldiers fighting this war, we do not see or hear about the unexpolded cluster bombs that have maimed and killed thousands of Iraqis as well as killing and maiming our own soldiers. We do not see that 1 out of every 7 Iraqis are displaced from their homes, half have fled the country and half are displaced within. Unfortunately be it Republican or Democrat they both usually answer to the richest 1% , the elite who actually pull the strings. Nothing is going to change as long as we have such gross disparity of wealth and with so few controlling the political and military agenda of our nation. The biggest threat to our freedom as a nation today is the controlled and limited ownership of our media today controlled seven corporation controlled by the richest 1% of Americans.. Hitler new it George W. Bush and the GOP know it too, scary, very scary!

Not if we are billed a penny a click.
Even someone with an avid curiosity won't go bankrupt over a penny a click. I you go to a hundred sites a day, it's still only a dollar. I think with membership sign ups, the papers can stay afloat in the internet. Only thing is it needs to be attached to the paypal list. People that are already signed up, will have the option to continue viewing the post to subscribe for the penny a click to sustain the paper. With the sites that hit millions per day, it should stop their fears of unemployment, provided they print the truth to keep the viewers.
If they turn out like Fox, then it will be easy to cancel subscription.

Many of these media companies are German owned
It'sinteresting that that has been brought up since many of the massive media companies now are both German and Japanese owned. For instance most of the major US publishing houses are now German owned and they have taken over more and more control. Plus, these countries are setting up oil and gas deals in Iraq while the US is fighting there. Those in Germany in the Hamburg cell who were convicted for being directly involved in the planning of the September 11, 2001 attacks have been let out of jail by the German government.

I Guess this is how you post. Im new - media propaganda
When I was campagning for Obamma I realize I wasn't getting anywhere with my district LD88 because these hard core Republicans were brain washed. So instead I started up a free publication. The idea being that I had to deprogram them before they would be open to a by like Obamma. Here was the first Issue.
In our last issue I tried to help you understand that the ultra wealthy of this country or for that matter the world are actively trying to pursue their oun interest by swaying popular oppinion. In reality (and any good psychologist/sociologist would agree) they are trying to program the least suspecting of us. As George Bush is so fond of saying (or something to this effect:
"You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time and those are the people I like to concentrate on".
As I explained in the last issue since the end of World War II the right wing: Prescott Bush, Avarille Harriman, Allan Dulles and their successors etc... have waged a propaganda war against the American People with our oun money by redirecting our tax revenues into a black budget that is funnelled to secret projects. The mafia and the mob (for lack of a better definition) are directed to buy up media and control it's product. Incredulous? Not to the well informed. Here's just a small example of the documentation that researchers have turned up.
"It is not surprising that Garrison's case never got off the ground, given that the CIA and the FBI collaborated with friendly members of the news media to label the district attorney as a publicity-seeking egomaniac. Newly released documents frighteningly reveal how much collusion exists between the mainstream media and our intelligence apparatus, especially when the government feels that a story needs to be given a certain spin or kept quiet altogether. Reporters Jack Anderson of the Washington Post, James Phelan of the Saturday Evening Post, and Hugh Aynesworth of :Newsweek all checked with the FBI ahead of time before writing articles about Garrison's investigation. On one occasion, after Anderson had interviewed Garrison for several hours, he informed the FBI that he thought the district attorney had a legitimate case; yet he continued to write derogatory articles about Garrison. A May 18, 1967, FBI memo states that Richard Townley of NBC affiliate WDSU-TV in New Orleans was given instructions from NBC New York to prepare a one hour television special on Jim Garrison with the instruction to "shoot him down."
A CIA document has surfaced explaining how, during the 1960s, the agency attempted to use "propaganda assets" in the news media to counter the critics of the Warren Commission report. Apparently, this is still going on today. In recent years, both PBS and Arts and Entertainment have run specials on the life of Oswald in which they use a supposed expert named Priscilla Johnson. Recently declassified documents reveal that she had applied to the CIA for employment in 1953. Though she was disapproved "because of her associations and activities," she was later classified as a "witting collaborator" In the television documentaries, she never mentions any of the new evidence linking Oswald or Shaw to the CIA.
Given this appalling lack of objectivity, it is no wonder that the media today is virtually ignoring the newly released evidence from the review board. Instead, the media as a whole has gone out of its way to defend the reputation of the Warren report. In 1993, just as the government was finally beginning to release classified files, the media heaped inordinate praise on an author named Gerald Posner, who was prematurely trying to close the case with his book, Case Closed. Meanwhile, John Newman is still waiting for a major publication to review his groundbreaking book.
Though the media continues to ignore it, more and more material is available for public scrutiny. Independent civilian researchers are analyzing new evidence side by side with that which has been previously disclosed."
Unfortunately if you aren't familiar with the connections to New Orleans and the Mafia or haven't seen JFK, this is probably all Greek to you. But the fact is if you are a researcher like me once you accept the fact that this small group of ultra wealthy self proclaimed cold warriors and commie hunters stole our money and used it against us by buying up the media to control what information people get and don't get then all the other things that don't make sence otherwise just fall into place like so many pieces of a puzzle. What really makes absolutely no sense in the face of all this documentation and testimony is this fabrication called the Warren Commission. What is clear though is that Allen Dulles, Arlen Spector, Gerald Ford, the FBI and the CIA were all working for
Do you really think that if we were to see where our money is going we would be satisfied with how their using it. And it's no surprise seeing as they own the Federal Reserve and the banking system and have managed to control the Treasury even during Democratic times so they just print up money when they need it and call it expanding the money supply and pretend to be heros. They say the economy is stagnant and big men that they are they are going to inject money into the system. Sounds great huh? Have you ever seen them actually disclose where all that new money is going? No of course not. But there are heros amoungst us who against all odds try to follow that money. I read a paper once by an honest Treasury Agent who tried to track the money that was heisted during the S&L Crisis (Robbery just like the one that's currently going on) He followed them to off shore accounts that had the same finger prints as allways the luitenants of people like Rothchild, Morgan, Khashoggi, who turn that money around and in other ways pay back the facilitators like bush and dulles. He said that he couldn't get past the off shore banks becuase he was told in no uncertain terms to back off no matter where he went with his investigation. Then there's Skolnick who recieved a file full of copies of wire transfers made buy Greenspan to every bush CIA illegal black op you could think of. Again this man was dogged and destroyed in the press out of a fear that people might actually believe him. Thier ownership of the Federal Reserve Bank a privately owned institution since 1909 enables them to print up money at will and hand it out as they see fit through the countries banks which they have always owned. The following is highly representative of the reality of our media.
"Far Right Seed Money Bears Fruit, None Dare Call It Conspiracy, By CRAIG McGRATH
They say trouble comes in threes. Three extremely conservative men have been barraging American viewers for years with propaganda and most people don't even know it. The conservative talking heads we constantly see hectoring us from MSNBC, Fox and the four older networks come almost invariably from a labyrinth of think tanks bought and paid for by these men and the three fortunes they represent. The players who have directed this ensemble are Richard Mellon Scaife, William E. Simon and Michael Joyce. Remember those names."
It concerned me greatly when I heard during the campagn battle between Hillary and Obamma that Hillary was sitting down with Scaiffe and what??? What were they doing??? Were they working out a deal? What? Well the fact that someone running for "President of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" would keep the discussion of such a meeting secret says it all.
"By directing the giving of the Sarah Scaife, Allegheny and Carthage foundations over a 30-year period, Scaife gave away close to $600 million in inflation-adjusted dollars to right-wing think tanks and causes, creating the infrastructure of the modern hard right in the United States."
So whats left after they have bought up all the privately owned sources of news and information in this country??? Basically stamping out all the "Thomas Paines that are a pain in the you know what??? Oh there's still a dissenting view... only they own it and they can control it, mediate it, make sure it has no impact on their scheming. But lo what is that noise over there? Oh no someone is still rattling on. Some where the truth is still bubbling up through the ooze. They have missed one hole in the dike "The Public Broadcasting System", The peoples attempt at a free, honest and dependable source of information, government media.
"Media attack personalities like David Horowitz owe their presence on television almost exclusively to the early money provided from Scaife and the intervention of the Scaife-created Heritage Foundation in Washington. Starting in the back bedroom of his house in California and without a staff, Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture would become a launching platform for attacks on Scaife's favorite enemies. Starting off with assaults on PBS and NPR for being anti-conservative, anti-corporate and generally too nosey., Popular Culture -- with the aid of $4 million in Scaife money -- has grown to a staff of 17 with constant forums, luncheons and conferences. From these platforms the likes of Fox Television's Bill O'Reilly hold forth with their stream of invective and meandering diatribes against Democrats, liberals, environmentalists, feminists and the allegedly left-liberal judiciary. The bitter, manic Horowitz returns the favor by showing up as a regular attack personality on Fox's O'Reilly Factor (when he's not over at Oliver North's Equal Time) where he hawks his books Radical Son and his latest, Hating Whitey. What Horowitz never reveals are the streams of tax-exempt money that created and keep his center in business. In 1997 alone Popular Culture received over $1.2 million from the Scaife, Olin and Bradley Foundations, the core of the far right's funding apparatus for its propaganda in the US.
What particularly irked me was shortly after a NOW with Bill Moyers episode that featured a human rights lawyer who was trying to help people in Thialand who had fallen victim to the Hunta there who were rounding villagers up and forcing them to work on a UNOCAL pipeline till they dropped and killing any who complained, PBS removed Moyers from the program (now it's a relatively painless and harmless show with David Broncochio a pretend Liberal). And while he was off the air I find out that "The Bush Administration" has pulled funding from PBS" They called in PBSs' staff and made it clear that they would be deciding what was and was not appropriate to air and they replaced the head of PBS with a rightwing nutball who went round and round with any liberal who dared try to make a difference. When Moyers came back with a new show a year later you would find him defanged doing simple public interest pieces that dared not attack Neocon interests. The simple fact is that he had dared air a piece that showed there was conclusive evidence that UNOCAL was fully aware of the fact that it was paying thugs to run slave labor camps that were guilty of not only slavery but torture and murder. It wouldn't be long and PBS would be airing shows on Chevrons activities in Ache and could it be??... could they go so far to air a show on Barrick and other Bush realated mining companies that not under American regulation were dumping toxins into the waters of 3rd world countries were creating a horror and death in the local populations that had fished those waters for thousands of years and were having dead babies and monstorous birth defects? No this kind of journalism could not be tolerated not so much because America might find out the truth about how it's ultra wealth lacked any humanity but because it might actually cut into their profit. And God forbid it actual might cause a ground swell of unrepressed anger.
Of course if you have any doubt that Scaiffe is a neocon covert operation look at his "Arkansaw Project" This was clearly a well planned, well funded covert op...
"Scaife, through the Washington magazine, the American Spectator, financed the assault on the inviting target of Clinton's personal life. By giving millions in tax-exempt money to the American Spectator Foundation, Scaife was able not only to fund attack articles and bring Paula Jones to the American public through the writing of the Spectator's David Brock, but by 1993 also launch the Arkansas Project. The Project used Scaife money given to the Spectator to dig into Clinton's Arkansas background looking for smear material on Whitewater or any other water that could be found.
The digging and dredging quickly became something more than bottom fishing. Two northern Virginia attorneys with impeccable credentials from the Federalist Society (a conservative lawyers group also supported with Scaife grants) carried some of the Spectator money to rural Arkansas and set up operations with a bait and tackle storeowner named Parker Dozhier. Operating out of his mountain cabin, Dozhier said he received $48,000 in Scaife-Spectator funds from 1993 to 1997 to monitor the media in Arkansas and provide bios requested by the Spectator staff. Another visitor to the Dozhier shop was former Little Rock municipal judge and key government Whitewater witness, David Hale.
Dozhier was known to do strange things in his trailer out behind his mountain shack, according to Dozhier's former girl friend. On one occasion her teenage son stated that he had seen money change hands from the Virginia lawyers to Dozhier. When a reporter from the online Salon.com magazine came around following the trail of Spectator money and asked Dozhier what he made of the young man's comments, Dozhier said that the boy was "destined to be a chalk outline somewhere." The comment quickly prompted the reporter to contact the FBI regarding the teenager's safety."
Eventually State Troopers came clean about recieving Scaife money to manufacture stories about Clinton midnight trists that they supposedly covered up. I have no illusions about Clinton. He is obviously bought no matter how much of an attempt at being a hippy he made before his first successfull bid at being Governor that ended in disaster. But that doesn't change the fact that people who frighten the powers that be hidden trigger the response that becomes visible and in a real world the press would have a hay day.
While there may be plenty of ultra wealthy who fitter away billions in pursuit of the neocon agenda which is all about murder, torture and intimidation make no mistake that secretly all these fat cats are being funded through the black budget i.e.our taxes.
"The Scaife penchant for covert action may stem from Richard Mellon Scaife's own connection in years past to the Central Intelligence Agency. According to an investigative story published in May 1999 in the Washington Post, Scaife, in 1968 became the head of the parent company of Forum World Features, a news service out of London that received large amounts of money and editorial direction from the CIA. The head of the Forum, Brian Crozier, a far right British journalist, said that the CIA introduced him to Scaife. The final frosting may be that according to the Post, Scaife's father, Alan Scaife, was a major in the World War II-era Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the predecessor of the CIA. Alan Scaife was a sidekick as well of Richard Helms, who would later become the director of the CIA in the 1960's."
For those of you unfamiliar with the beginnings of the CIA: Allen Dulles created the OSS with the help of Bush and Harriman and their first op was to send him to Switzerland and to arrange the orderly surrender of the Nazis and to import and integrate them into the American Right wing. One of the important operatives in this operation was Richard M. Nixon a petty officer in the navy who was recruited by Dulles to go through the Nazi files and pick out the ones that would be helpfull in their Rocketry, Propaganda, Brainwashing, Eugenics, bio warfare etc projects they were planning on pursuing.
"Dulles and the U.S. intelligence community were actively involved in helping Nazi war criminals escape from Europe; they were assisted with help from both Britain and the Vatican. Elbridge Durbrow and R. Borden Reams were two people from FDR's State Department who deliberately mislead FDR and withheld information from him. Reams withheld the first reports from a spy inside of Germany and occupied Poland of the atrocities being committed against the Jewish people.Recent evidence confirmed by Clark Clifford has shown that Truman was unaware of the CIA importation of the Nazis war criminals. Generally the cover up during the Truman administration was the work of James Forrestal, the Secretary of the Navy Forrestal, a conservative Democrat could barely cover up for his Jewish bigotry and worked behind Truman's back. J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover removed all damning files from FBI headquarters to the New York and Washington field offices. In 1945 the navy captured documents from the Nazi oil cartel, Kontinentale Ol A. G. Konti headed by former Reichsbank officer Karl Blessing. A young naval officer was assigned to review those Konti documents. Allen Dulles had personally vouched for Blessing's as an anti-Nazi. If Blessing would have went down as a war criminal and a Nazi, Dulles and his clients would go down as traitors. Dulles personally asked the young naval officer to keep quiet about those documents in exchange for financing the young man's first congressional race, thus was launched the political career of Richard Nixon.
"By the early 1950s," writes former Village Voice reporter Deborah Davis in Katharine the Great, "Wisner 'owned' respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles, plus stringers, four to six hundred in all, according to a former CIA analyst." The network was overseen by Allen Dulles, a templar for German and American corporations who wanted their points of view represented in the public print. Early MOCKINGBIRD influenced 25 newspapers and wire agencies consenting to act as organs of CIA propaganda. Many of these were already run by men with reactionary views, among them William Paley (CBS), C.D. Jackson (Fortune), Henry Luce (Time) and Arthur Hays Sulzberger (N.Y. Times). Activists curious about the workings of MOCKINGBIRD have since been appalled to f__ind in FOIA documents that agents boasting in CIA office memos of their pride in having placed "important assets" inside every major news publication in the country. It was not until 1982 that the Agency openly admitted that reporters on the CIA payroll have acted as case officers to agents in the field. "World War III has begun," Henry's Luce's Life declared in March, 1947. "It is in the opening skirmish stage already." The issue featured an excerpt of a book by James Burnham, who called for the creation of an "American Empire," "world-dominating in political power, set up at least in part through coercion (probably including war, but certainly the threat of war) and in which one group of people ... would hold more than its equal share of power."
I don't know how much of a difference this made but I think the idea is sound. But I'm just one guy. I wore my feet out every morning for a week delivering this by hand to my district. LD88 I also spent a huge amount of time and toner photocopying it. I managed to get it on both sides of a single 8 1/2 by 11.
