If anyone wonders why some Americans seem unaware of facts and viewpoints that are clear to Europeans and the rest of the world, this may help to explain it. Our own news media is helping to keep us in the dark.
yes I have always known this sad to I think-
AntwortenLöschenBut doesn`t the media reflect the people?

AntwortenLöschenGood post Captain ..... thanks , many of us have known this for a long time
yes and no-if you don't know that they put out 2 issues one for us in Europe and one for you in america well-then also the americans got stupid along the way and don't question anything much anymore and that really manifested itself over the last 8 or so years-
AntwortenLöschenThe American Press Mainstream Treachery
AntwortenLöschenMSM item by JB Williams
Honest unbiased reporting in the American news room has been so absent for so long that most Americans now seek information elsewhere. Americans no longer trust the free press to be their eyes and ears, to keep them abreast of the facts needed to make intelligent decisions about daily life or politics. Sadly, at this moment in history, even Russia has a more reliable free press than America. If Americans don’t read foreign news sources, they have no clue what is going on in their own country, much less the world.
“The American people continue to remain, for the most part, blissfully unaware of catastrophe looming before them and continue to believe the litany of Orwellian lies being poured upon them by their propaganda media organs, never once raising any objection to trillions of dollars that have been stolen from them and which continues to flow the pockets of their political and corporate overlords intent upon destroying, forever, their once great Nation and which the US Federal Reserve Inspector General Elizabeth Coleman stated brazenly before the US Congress that she has “no idea” where $9 Trillion of US taxpayer has gone, or who got it.” - Bilderberg Group orders destruction of US Dollar? - A pretty important story for U.S. readers I’d say, but it remains unreported by the U.S. press!
As a result of horrific news reporting, talk radio and the Internet have largely replaced the daily newspaper, and that’s why leftists currently running Washington DC are very focused on “bailing out” their friendly propaganda rags, while gaining editorial control over talk radio and the Internet.
God Bless America and May God bless at least one American journalist with the honesty and courage to do the job entrusted to them by our Founding Fathers. They are either the unbiased eyes and ears of a trusting American populace under siege by political fraud, or they are an active participant in that fraud. There is no middle ground on a story this obvious and important.
AntwortenLöschenAnd don't nobody say "jewish media", cause that would be taboo. For that reason, I can't rely on the european or the russian media, either.
AntwortenLöschenwhy ???? it is a whole lot better than that garbage you guys have for news-and what have the jews got to do with it-didn't know Murdoc was jewish-
AntwortenLöschenOh-oh! I seemed to have hit a nerve there. Truth always have that effect/affect on followers of the guilty party.
AntwortenLöschenMurdoch is jewish. Read this article:

This list is overwhelming, Jan!
AntwortenLöschenAnd the difference in "informations" for the USA and the rest of the world explains very well, why we see the world that different. A reason to be worried.
lol I think someone mistook you for an American, Mr. Saint ;)
AntwortenLöschenand Cosmic Dude... who you calling 'European'? lol
Top post
not I ... I looked at the profile first .. never assume anything
AntwortenLöschenThis comes as absolutely no surprise to me at all...havning a number of acquaintences in other places I am well aware of how stilted the US news media is with regards to things on the world stage. The idea appears to be to keep people in the US from thinking in terms of world anything. It keeps people in a state of informational isolation and makes them easier to manipulate into believeing and doing what is ONLY in the interest of the power brokers, the rich elite, the government etc. which is keeping them in power and the rest of us subservient. It is the same tactic that was used in both Nazi Germany and in the Commnist rule of the former Soviet Union. The media was their tool to give people only the information that would help those in power remain in power. Telling people only what they wanted them to know...instead of the truth. Add to that the efforts made to convince people that the media is to be believed because we have a "free" press and the recipe for manipulation is complete.
AntwortenLöschenThanks Kveldulf. My only problem with that is that, although in Britain, I know where I can go and get a New York Times or a Washington Post or a New Zealand Herald if I want; I can choose to watch Fox or Russia Today; as it is, I personally get most news via the internet, especially more independent and less agenda-driven sources I guess closer to the protest movement, but I do recognise that requires spending a LOT of time online that some people with greater responsibilities simply couldn't afford.
AntwortenLöschenIt's an international time we live in, you do not need to be blinkered by manipulated media. It's like choosing to only eat organic or be vegetarian... it just takes a bit more effort to balance your info diet.
fair enough nopigeonhole...but some Americans just don't care enought about the rest of the world to be interested in getting the informtaion and the governments plays to that portion of the population and they make it hard to get. Fortunately with the internet it is possible for those of us that WANT to look to find things.
AntwortenLöschenAnd so it is with food. My brother hates vegetables, and has done ever since our parents made him 'eat his greens' before he could leave the table. His abnormally carnivore diet, heavy consumption of alcohol, heavy work-load and smoking tailor-made cigarettes, will one day give him a stroke or cancer. He has 4 kids. I'd love to help him see why he should eat healthily and look ahead to retirement... but it's programmed in, he just will not hear it, not even from our father. He has 4, he IS the Daddy now.
AntwortenLöschenThat's an example of those people who don't care to look...
thanks all I knew is that he is very right wing -
AntwortenLöschenI have a friend that played in nfl Europe, he told me to stop listening to the US media for these very reasons. Let's just say watching international news on the internet made me feel very misinformed. Thanks for the link.
AntwortenLöschenI forgot "European" has more political implications than it used to in the UK...or was it always that way? How about "The Old World",,,or, "Y'all Over There"?
AntwortenLöschenSo, obviously we should hold our media to account about "filtering" our news, especially the supposedly reputable entities, while continuing to look at a variety of sources.
I think a lot of it has to do with pleasing-- or not pissing off- advertisers more than some plot to make us all think alike. Yet the cumulative effect of media "market-tailoring" does mean that what we think of as a free press is edited to an extent by a consensus of corporate advertisers.
We would also find a significant difference in our history texts in our public schools, depending on what country we're in, and what our state and local school authorities think are important facts and proper interpretations. Ask a Canadian about the War of 1812.
The problem of removing obstacles in the path of the truth going to people who need it is complex enough without adding prejudice-motivated generalizations about an entire religion, race, or nationality. Sure, Murdoch is a Jew, and he's an ass. I'll call him, and Netenyahu, an ass and any other Jew if he or she deserves it, but anyone who wants to lump all people of a certain kind with a certain label as an evil conspiracy is part of the problem, not the solution.
Do you know what the odds are of different independent news corporations around the world, with a number of unbiased and equally independent news reporters under them, concurrently arriving at the same erroneous interpretations of different local and world events are? If one knows of an evil conspiracy and doesn't share such crucial information, then one would be a part of the problem. I understand that not all jewish are behind the news deception and corruption. There's always a Moses, a Noah, or a Jesus who stands above the crowd of ruffians who would worship a golden calf just a little after witnessing a real miracle. The only reason I termed it as a "jewish conspiracy" is that because the principal agitators are nearly all jewish, with the exception of those who support their cause even though they are not jewish. Just in the same way that we say "islamic terrorists" even though we take it for granted that people understand that we do not mean all the muslims are terrorists.

AntwortenLöschenNo you didn't forget it, its just another Jew hating comment that you sneak in your remarks, there is a few links you added in, I liked the one that mentioned "inbreeding", sick and sad!
AntwortenLöschenI assume you two know each other from a previous group?
AntwortenLöschenvery sick but so many people are just jelouse of the skills they have sad really sad -
AntwortenLöschenI did forget about it. I already submitted my comments, and then I had to edit it just to add the link. You didn't clairy what is "sick and sad".
AntwortenLöschensick because for thousends of years mankind has blamed all evils on the jews
AntwortenLöschensad because humankind hasn't been able to see that we are all good bad and in between
and to blame everything on one group of people is so very racist and just plain wrong-
Thank you for your comments, blind hatred is so sad and wrong in this world!
AntwortenLöschenno not at all, from this site!
AntwortenLöschenI quite agree that the jews, in general, had been blamed for many evil deeds.
AntwortenLöschenAnd it is only common sense that jews have their share of the goods and the bads.
And I'm not blaming everything on the jews. At this time it is only about the jewish media deception and corruption.
But I'm sorry to say that I'm really quite incapable of "blind hatred". Hatred?: Quite possibly. Blind hatred?: Not on your life.
But those who were blaming jews as evil have found another group to blame :) This is our dillema, we blame the whole community for the acts of few people.
AntwortenLöschenA couple of things; Newsweek is a rag that very few people here in the US read for news. It makes sense that they put material in their magazines to court certain populations to draw as much revenue as possible.
AntwortenLöschenAmericans want to see "Anniue Liebowitz life in pictures." That will SELL here.
In Europe they want to hear about how much America sucks so "America losing in Afghanistan" SELLS.
As usual, it's the rest of the world that's in the dark. You guys still think we LOST the Iraq war? Hilarious!
Keep reading Newsweek Overseas - they will tell you what you want to hear!
I've never read Newsweek, but thanks for the heads up.
AntwortenLöschenI wasn't aware the Iraq war was 'over'? I guess you think it ended the day Saddam was hanged. I figure mission was accomplished the day Big Oil were allowed back in. But we're still there aren't we? Do you personally count the rebuilding and presence of a peacekeeping force, training the new regime's soldiers, that sort of thing, as part of the war, or is that all something else? No barbed rhetoric, just a question...
The US is still in Germany & Korea. I think those wars are over.
AntwortenLöschen"U.S. troops in Iraq have time on hands"
"When I signed up for the Army, I thought I was going to be a hero — go out and do some fighting," says Vesik, 19, during a break at a Filipino-Okinawan jujitsu class. "I haven't come close to doing anything that I was trained to do. I work, maybe, four to five hours a day. I have time to try all these new things. It's not so bad."

Sounds like a real barn burner over there doesn't it. Sorry leftists - Blair & Bush won this baby!
I know how upsetting this is to you but try not to take it so hard!
Do you acknowledge that it wasn't just about Saddam, or not? Define what you mean by 'win', please?
AntwortenLöschenhehe he never owns up to anything just a big blosarch or windbag in english
AntwortenLöschenHe asked a good question today - "if the Iraq war was illegal, what laws have been broken?"
AntwortenLöschenThat warrants some background reading, because I couldn't answer it just thinking on my feet. My pigeon-sense tells me politicians have lied and it's immoral, but I couldn't tell you exactly what has been done wrong in legal terms. Not bad for a bag of wind. I think its a mistake to underestimate the Red-craniumed gentleman.
The Constitution says
AntwortenLöschenthat only Congress can declare war. This hasn't been done, no matter how you spin the IRW.
The Bush doctrine of pre-emptive war, the doctrine under which our troops now occupy Iraq, was explicitly repudiated by the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal in 1946. As a presiding Judge between 1945 and 1949, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson wrote: "War is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy." The Tribunal concluded: "To initiate a war of aggression is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." In 1953 when his advisors mentioned the concept of pre-emptive war, President Dwight Eisenhower (who led the military campaign against Hitler in Europe), remarked: "All of us have heard this term 'preventive war' since the earliest days of Hitler...I wouldn't even listen to anyone seriously that came in and talked about such a thing."

UN Charter Chapter 1, Aricle 2:
3. All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.
We invaded a country. We dropped bombs on a country in peace time.
War has not been declared. There is no such declaration.
For the last three years we have been dropping bombs on civilians in Iraq.
The Constitution
Article VI
All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
-------------
The UN Charter would be one of those treaties.
The UN Charter forbids war unless you are invaded by another country or the UN Security Council approves it.
When is the last time Congress did that?
AntwortenLöschenNow they just vote;
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In a major victory for the White House, the Senate early Friday voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refuses to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by U.N. resolutions.
Hours earlier, the House approved an identical resolution, 296-133.
http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/10/11/iraq.us/
Surely congress has huge problem with Bush going to war without them declaring because ........why? *crickets*
Times have changed. Bush 1 did not need Congress to declare war in 1991 against Iraq.
"UN Charter Chapter 1, Aricle 2:" Snooze - they voted on this also;
On November 8, 2002, the Security Council passed Resolution 1441 by a unanimous 15-0 vote!
Bush did everything he was supposed to! I thought he showed too much patience on Iraq.
aha Resolution 1441... I think thats the one I was on about earlier today. Always reminds me of Kronenbourg, '1664'. Cheers, I may grab a copy to keep.
