The Israeli stranglehold on CNN 08. Jul, 2010 0 Comments WP Greet Box icon X Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic. Powered by WP Greet Box WordPress Plugin 10Share Commentary by Khalid Amayreh In 1978, the famous American Jewish author Alfred Lilienthal wrote his masterpiece book “the Zionist connection: what price peace?”, in which he described in great detail the Jewish-Zionist stranglehold on the American media, especially the so-called agenda-setters. Lilienthal, who died two years ago, knew what he was talking about. He explained that the Zionist cabal controlling the American media had only one mantra to invoke, one cause to serve, and one goal to achieve, namely Israel. Every other consideration, whether professional ethics or simple honesty, was subject to Zionist expediency. Lilienthal used strong terms to describe the Zionist-Jewish octopus plaguing the American media discourse. I have no doubt that he would have cited the sacking by CNN this week of its senior editor for Middle Eastern affairs, Octavia Nasr, as a classical and scandalous example of how the American media is decidedly at Israel’s beck and call. Nasr was sacked after she published a twitter message saying that she respected the Shiite cleric the Grand Ayatollah Muhammed Hussein Fadlullah, who died on Sunday. She reportedly wrote in her twitter message “Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlullah … One of Hezbollah’s giants I respect a lot.” Fadlullah was a man of dignity who enjoyed a lot of respect throughout the Middle East and the Muslim world. He didn’t hesitate to call the spade a spade, which earned him the hostility of many parties, including Israel and some extremist pseudo Islamic groups. A religious moderate, Fadlullah supported the just Palestinian struggle against Israeli Nazism, arguing that supporting the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice was a paramount moral duty incumbent upon all Muslims. In the mid 1980s, Fadlullah narrowly escaped death when CIA-agents detonated a huge-car-bomb at the Bir al Abd neighborhood in southern Beirut, killing dozens of innocent people. However, the attempted assassination of Shiite scholar didn’t succeed in silencing the Sheikh, who continued to speak up against Israeli Nazism and America’s embrace of it. In fact, it was largely thanks to Fadllullah’s preaching that Lebanon didn’t become the American-Israeli colony that influential Zionist circles in Washington and elsewhere had been planning for decades. Octavia Nasr The decision by the CNN administration to fire Octavia Nasr, a secular and thoroughly westernize woman, underscores the ethical bankruptcy of the leading American media, especially its harsh intolerance of non-conformist perceptions and convictions. We all know that had Nasr voiced admiration for Meir Kahana, the notorious racist American Jewish rabbi, or Ariel Sharon, the certified Israeli war criminal, or other Judeo-Nazi thugs, no measure would have been taken against her. Needless to say, in a healthy democratic atmosphere, people may freely sincerely and thoughtfully express their views and feelings. This is what Nasr exactly did. In so doing, she was only voicing the feelings of millions of people around the globe. To CNN, her views may be viewed as controversial or non-conformist or even repugnant. However, her right to express her views, however objectionable, via a twitter message, not CNN screen, is absolute. In the final analysis, freedom of speech is a fundamental human right for all people, including CNN journalists. Even CNN’s own employment charter doesn’t stipulate that applicants must be dedicated Islamophobes or firm believers in Israeli Nazism and in the legitimacy of Israel’s Nazi-like occupation of Palestinian land. But the problem at CNN is neither philosophical nor academic, but rather ideological and political. Israel is CNN’s ultimate idol-god. And any shred of thought, or view, or gesture that can be construed to imply criticism of Israel will not be tolerated. Ultimately, a pro-Israeli slant is the ultimate qualification that overrides any other qualification. I am glad that the tight enslavement of the American information consumers by such Zionist-run outlets as CNN is beginning to disintegrate. Thanks to the proliferation of the Internet, people around the world, including millions of Americans, are discovering the truth which the likes of CNN had made tremendous efforts to obfuscate and hide. Indeed, it was thanks to the largely silly, superficial and ignorant discourse adopted by the agenda-setter media in the US that the bulk of the American people became thoroughly ignorant and shamefully misinformed about foreign affairs. And when it comes to Israel-Palestine, the enormity of ignorance and stupidity is conspicuous. It is this enormity of ignorance and naivety that has allowed successive US administrations to beguile the American public by waging wanton and unnecessary wars that destroyed entire nations and claimed the lives of millions of victims, including tens of thousands of Americans. This is why the American people and other western people do need an alternative media to tell them the real facts, not the facts according to the Zionist robber barons in New York and London. In the final analysis, how can the American people, who are thoroughly preoccupied with their daily affairs and making a decent living, know the truth about what is going in Gaza, for example, when major American media networks, such as CNN, refuse to report on Israeli atrocities in the coastal enclave or in southern Lebanon on the ground that the scenes are too gruesome for the viewers’ feelings? Knowing what goes on in Gaza, for example, may seem a secondary preoccupation for many Americans. However, with the US waging two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and with Israel constantly instigating the US to wage total war against the entire Muslim world, mainly in order to promote Jewish territorial aggrandizement in Palestine, knowing the truth about Israeli Nazism may play a key role in saving the lives of thousands of would-be victims, Americans and non-Americans alike. After all, Americans have a right, indeed a duty, to prevent Israel and its agents at the US arena, from leading their government to wage stupid and disastrous wars for Israel. And there is no reason why America’s young must die a painful death for the sake of Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank. One more thing. The American media claims independence from government. However, the latest scandal involving CNN shows that the American media nearly sheepishly follows the government line, which shows that freedom and US media are an oxymoron. The shipyard dogs of Zionism, who constantly seek more and more control over the information industry in the West, would bark uncontrollably when their designs are exposed. However, when a journalist working in “the land of liberty” is fired from her job for merely saying she respected an elderly man, who had just died, and who happened to be a critic of Israel and the US policies , one is prompted to feel that the “Nazi experiment” can and may experience a certain reincarnation, somehow, somewhere.

I cannot believe the first thing I noticed about her picture is her rack. Zionists destroying this country and I can't keep my eyes off her tits.
St. Ausgustine on the State: "It was a criminal band that achieved legitimacy not by renouncing aggression, but rather by attaining impunity."
That's men for ya.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" American media is independent of government on all issues except those involving Israel and Organized Jewry which through its lobbies controls the government, specifically the all-important members of Congress by funding their election campaigns. That's the root of the problem, not just what appears on stage.
And for what it's worth: The 15 Things You Must Know to Survive the Fall of America “Must Do” #12: Don’t Trust the Media Mainstream media is not your friend, but that doesn’t mean alternative media gets a pass. Let’s examine how we got here, at least in this reporter’s lifetime. In the 50s, the infant TV news served notice of coming attractions when Edward R. Murrow helped bring Senator McCarthy down in 1954. (This just in, according to sources, Tail Gunner Joe is alive and in rehab down in Texas and apparently headed for sainthood or at least resurrection.) In the late 60s, TV News brought the Vietnam War into our living rooms and when Walter Cronkite, the most trusted figure in America, finally questioned the war, the country embraced the notion. In the 70s, Woodward and Bernstein resurrected print journalism with their coverage of Watergate and brought down a sitting President. For a solid year, the headlines were dominated by the story. In a prelude to today’s paparazzi frenzies, the only story that displaced Watergate during that period was the tale of Clifford Irving’s Howard Hughes interviews, which turned out to be a hoax. In the 80s, Cable was born and by the time Iraq War One kicked off the New Year in 1991, nobody could touch CNN’s coverage. 24/7 Journalism was born. In the 90s the Internet began connecting the world in ways that we could only imagine. News not only went online, it went independent and everyman and the ad dollars started to follow. TV, Radio and Print struggled to find their place in this News World Order. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Advertisement~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “The New York Times is just one other entity putting out its blog on the Internet, along with a million other people. So this is one among many reasons why the Internet is such a good thing. It’s going to deemphasize the power of the national media.” Doug Casey From “The Fall of America and the Western World” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By 2003, and Iraq War Two, broadcast news had already lowered itself to embedding journalists — an apt description of the media in bed with their subject. Last year, the Internet finally made its bones, living up to their potential, when TMZ broke the story of Michael Jackson’s death while CNN stood around with their thumb up their derriere waiting for confirmation. So here it is, July 2010, and I webbed the news today, Oh Boy. It’s sad what passes for journalism these days: * Pseudo news is now en vogue (insert almost any celebrity story here). * Dispensing fear is the media’s new modus operandi. * Being first with a rumor has become more important than making sure of the facts. * 24/7 guarantees the majority of media bandwidth is crap. * Fox News and MSNBC have taken “having an agenda” to new extremes. None of these practices increase the likelihood of getting the news you need. Without the right information you can’t properly prepare for the future. And as we’ve learned in our previous newsletters, if you aren’t prepared your chances of survival are not good. So what’s the best place to get your news? I’m not going to advocate any particular media organization here. What I do advocate is making the time to get informed. Your first step is to boycott reality TV — use the time you save to read the news. The next step is to seek out new sources of news. Here’s where I turn to advocacy. There’s a fascinating documentary, “The Fall of America and the Western World” that brings together an incredible collection of thinkers who are labeled conservatives, liberals, middle of the roaders and even conspiracy theorists, who all find common ground in the conviction that the Greater Depression and Total Economic Collapse are inevitably on their way. If you believe that the economy is headed for disaster and want to find the information you need to protect yourself and your loved ones, “The Fall of America and the Western World” is a great place to start. The movie offers lots of diverse views…pick the spokesperson(s) that resonate with how you view the world, visit their websites, sign up for their newsletters. And take the time to read up on those that you disagree with as well. To know the enemy is to be further prepared. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Advertisement~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “These guys (seen in “The Fall of America and the Western World”) have no reason to agree. They’re people with different religious beliefs, different political beliefs, but they’re all saying the same thing. That’s very compelling.” Gary Gibson Managing Editor, Whiskey & Gunpowder ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Plain and simple, the news has abdicated its commitment to be the watchdog for society. Instead they advance their own agendas or those of their sponsors, pander to special interest groups, promote fear and editorialize with no basis in fact. This means you have to dig deeper and discern the truth for yourself — for if not you, who will get you the news? Regards, Jimmie Rivers Coming Next Week... Must Do #11: Home Sweet Home
