It's Not News - It's CNN

By

      George Sontag

      CNN has in the past been called the Communist News Network. It doesn't deserve that title because there is very little news coming out of it. Tune in any day – any time and what you will hear is Trump,Trump, Trump, Trump, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Trump, Trump,

Where truth is buried

Trump. A recent survey showed that this is 93% of it's content. It is clearly NOT a legitimate news organization. They continue to say that they are. What they are is a mouthpiece for the extreme left. No stories critical of the Left are aired. A perfect example of this is what they don't air. To exclude the facts of anything is a lie or as some have called it “fake news”

• “Fake news is news reported with opinions and speculation. It is when a journalist selectively chooses and ignores facts, and interprets or paraphrases those facts to reach an unwarranted conclusion that conveniently validates his own views. “

      Today, in this country, the biggest stories are those of sex scandals and unwelcome sexual advances. However when these reports are about the Leftist Democrats – CNN ignores them.

      Here now are 24 reports, 19 are current in the past month, that CNN and it's parent company have deliberately ignored. Fair and balanced doesn't live at CNN.

1. Four new women accuse Bill Clinton of sexual assault. (11/20/2017)
The Daily Mail reports:

Bill Clinton is facing explosive new charges of sexual assault from four women, according to highly placed Democratic Party sources and an official who served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations.

The current accusations against the 71-year-old former president — whose past is littered with charges of sexual misconduct — stem from the period after he left the White House in 2001, say the sources.

Attorneys representing the women, who are coordinating their efforts, have notified Clinton they are preparing to file four separate lawsuits against him.

The Huffington Post reports:

Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) on Monday accused a former congressman of assaulting her while they were both serving in the House.

In an appearance on MSNBC’s “Meet the Press Daily,” DeGette said that former Rep. Bob Filner (D-Calif.) at one point tried to pin her in an elevator and forcibly kiss her.

“Some years ago, I was in an elevator and then-Congressman Bob Filner tried to pin me to the door of the elevator and kiss me. And I pushed him away,” DeGette said. “I mean, I was his colleague. He couldn’t take action against me. And believe you me, I never got in an elevator with him again.”

3. Democrat Raul Bocanegra resigns leadership position and won’t seek re-election over sexual allegations. (11/20/2017)
The Los Angeles Times reports:

Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra announced he will not seek reelection Monday, citing “persistent rumors and speculation” regarding sexual harassment claims.

“I spent my life advocating for the Northeast Valley, fighting for a fair share for our communities and residents,” Bocanegra (D-Pacoima) said in a statement. “It is because of my deep commitment to you, residents of the 39th Assembly District, that I have made the decision to resign from the State Assembly, effective September 1, 2018, and immediately resign my leadership position. I am also suspending my campaign and will not run for re-election.”

The statement came as The Times was preparing a story reporting that six women had accused him of sexual harassment.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

A Democrat running for Congress in New Mexico's second district was found and arrested at an apartment complex in Albuquerque on Friday, nearly two weeks after an arrest warrant was issued for him.

David Alcon is now behind bars after a woman accused him of stalking her, according to local station KRQE News 13.

On Friday, public radio station KUNC published a blistering report in which nine women, including Rep. Faith Winter, a Democrat representing Westminter, accused Lebsock of sexual harassment.

Winter says Lebsock became aggressively lewd at a bar on the last day of the 2016 legislative session when he found out that Winter’s husband was out of town.

6. Colorado Democratic House Speaker Crisanta Duran accused of ‘covering up’ sexual allegations against Democrat Steve Lebsock. (11/14/2017)
The Denver Post reports:

Colorado’s top Democratic lawmaker is under fire for how she handled a colleague’s sexual harassment complaint against a member of their party and now faces calls for an independent investigation.

House Speaker Crisanta Duran appointed Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, as chairman of the Local Government Committee for the 2017-18 legislative session despite knowing that the fellow lawmaker made the allegation against him seven months earlier. The accusation became public Friday and was followed by harassment complaints from two other women.

Republican legislative leaders are demanding an investigation from the attorney general’s office to address what one GOP lawmaker called a “coverup.” Others are calling for the speaker’s resignation.

DFL Sen. Dan Schoen's attorney, Paul Rogosheske, said the senator will resign in a Wednesday afternoon news conference. Schoen was facing mounting pressure to step down from top leaders in his own party, including Senate Minority Leader Tom Bakk and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton.

On Nov. 8, MinnPost reported allegations from two women that Schoen, 42, had sexually harassed them. One of the women, Lindsey Port, a former DFL candidate for the House, said in 2015 Schoen came up from behind her at a campaign event and grabbed her buttocks, telling her she had a "good door-knocking ass." Schoen, a first-term senator, was serving his second term in the House at that time.

9. Sexual harassment controversy threatens to ensnare California Democratic Senate leader Kevin de León. (11/11/2017)
The Mercury News reports:

The controversy surrounding sexual harassment in the state Capitol deepened on Friday and threatened to ensnare one of the Legislature’s leading Democrats, Kevin de León, as questions swirled over when the Senate leader became aware of complaints against his weekday roommate.

The plot thickened after a lawyer for a fired Senate staffer told Capital Public Radio that her client and two other employees were handed termination letters in the same meeting in which they detailed inappropriate behavior by their boss, Sen. Tony Mendoza, toward a young female intern.

The attorney’s account contradicted the timeline provided Thursday by De León’s office, raising questions about what the Senate leader, who is challenging U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, knew about the harassment allegations.

Padilla was accused in two federal lawsuits of harassing women while helping the city of Albuquerque overhaul a problem-plagued emergency call center in 2006. The city ended up settling “sexually hostile work environment” claims stemming from Padilla’s six-week tenure as a supervisor.

He has denied accusations that he asked women on dates despite repeated rejections and made inappropriate comments, including saying that, in his home, “Women stay home, make tortillas and have babies.”

The Denver Post reports:

Eight months ago, toward the end of the legislative session, a Democratic policy aide reported concerns about harassment from Colorado state Rep. Paul Rosenthal to the House speaker’s office.

The issue never rose to a formal complaint, but the Denver Democratic lawmaker later apologized and received materials counseling him about the General Assembly’s workplace harassment policy.

The new details, described in interviews and confirmed by another Democratic lawmaker, raise more questions about Rosenthal’s behavior amid a legislative investigation of a separate incident, one in which he allegedly groped and made unwanted advances toward another gay man at a 2012 political event when he was a candidate.

18. Nevada Democratic Sen. Mark Manendo resigns amid numerous sexual harassment allegations. (07/18/2017)

Justice William O’Neill posted a statement Friday morning on Facebook about what he described as the “national feeding frenzy about sexual indiscretions,” and in doing so disclosed details about his sexual history.

“As a candidate for Governor let me save my opponents some research time,” O’Neill wrote. “In the last fifty years I was sexually intimate with approximately 50 very attractive females. It ranged from a gorgeous blonde who was my first true love and we made passionate love in the hayloft of her parents barn and ended with a drop dead gorgeous red head from Cleveland.

The CIA Will Never Release the Truth of the Kennedy Assassination

By

M. Richard Maxson

        Since the fabricated Warren Commission Report was published, many in the public have stepped up to say that they got it wrong in finding that the assassination was the work of a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. Too many other facts and too many what seemed to be coinsidences almost immediately surfaced. The original report had to be "modified" after James Tague came forward. He not only witnessed the murder he himself was in the line of fire. Then 27, is believed to be the only bystander who was wounded that day in Dallas.( http://news.yahoo.com/video/jfk-assassination-witness-recounts-missed-015912500.html)

      According to the official story, three shots were fired (the first missed, the second passed through the president’s neck and ricocheted into the chest, wrist, and thigh of Texas Governor John Connally, and the third bullet struck Kennedy in the head).   Top forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht calls the Warren Commission's findings "absurd," noting that the "single bullet theory" supported by the commission is inconsistent with Kennedy's head wounds. The film clearly shows that the second bullet (frame 225) and third bullet (frame 313) are of completely different types: the second passed through the president’s neck without serious tissue damage, while the third was obviously an expanding bullet, the impact of which shattered the American leader’s skull! A mix of different types of bullets within a single clip of a semi-automatic gun would be a game-changer for shooters. But the most likely explanation is that there were at least two snipers involved. If you time the video carefully, you can see that this expert rifleman takes just about five seconds to get off three shots, but you’ll notice that he’s making no attempt to aim! Is it possible to believe that a second-rate marksman like Lee Harvey Oswald could have performed with robot-like precision in such an extreme situation? Wecht calls the killing undoubtedly a "CIA-orchestrated coup d'etat."

      And so Oswald was arrested. “I did not kill President Kennedy … I didn’t kill anybody … I don’t know anything about what you are accusing me,” he said. Nor for that matter was he allowed to call a lawyer. He never admitted to murdering Kennedy. And two days after the president’s death, while Oswald was being transferred between jails, he was shot at close range by a Texas underworld figure named Jack Ruby (Jacob Rubenstein), who was also, according to the Warren Commission, “a lone gunman.” You don’t have to dig too deeply into the man’s background to realize that he had very deep ties to the police and American security agencies.

      Coincidentally(?) within the next two years, an astonishing number of people (more than 50!) who possessed some kind of information about the Kennedy assassination died under mysterious circumstances.

• The Navy officer Lt. William Pitzer, who managed the closed-circuit camera in the autopsy room at the at Bethesda Naval Hospital and filmed the proceeding, was later discovered to have “shot himself”, and the tape of the film had vanished.

• A week later, the taxi driver who drove Oswald home from the book depository on the day of the president’s assassination, William Whaley, was killed in a car crash.

• The same fate befell one of the witnesses to the Kennedy assassination, Lee Bowers, who saw “two men shooting from behind the fence.”

• Three of the five people who were present in Jack Ruby’s house on the evening of Nov. 24, 1963 were shot to death (the lawyer Tom Howard and reporters Bill Hunter and Jim Koethe) …
• And on Nov. 8, 1965, Dorothy Kilgallen, who was the only journalist granted a private interview with Jack Ruby after Oswald’s assassination, died of a “drug overdose,” although she had never taken drugs.

• Hale Boggs, a Democratic Representative from Louisiana, was the only member of the Warren Commission who did not buckle to Earl Warren and his disciples and disagreed with the conclusion. In October 1972 he was killed in a plane crash over frozen Alaska.

There are dozens more such examples.

      Then in 1976, after years of public uproar over the inconsitantcies in the Warren Report, the US Congress created a new special commission on the Kennedy case. In 1979 it issued its verdict: “Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.” The HSCA determined, based on available evidence, that the probable conspiracy did not involve the governments of the Soviet Union or Cuba. "You have two official investigations conducted by the government reaching contradictory conclusions," says Larry Sabato, who wrote about the impact of the assassination in his book The Kennedy Half-Century.

      So, who ordered the murder of President Kennedy and then covered up the tracks? Obviously the masterminds were not merely some group of conspirators or Mafiosi, but rather individuals who wield immense and very real power in the American government. So immense that they could force the entire US law-enforcement system to do everything necessary to keep this crime from being solved and to compel the Kennedy family to obediently close their eyes to it! 

 

      This powerful group of conspirators is now known as “The Deep State.” We were warned about this after WWII by President Harry Truman as he left office. Then again some years later by President Dwight Eisenhower as he left office.

      President Kennedy was determined to restore the United States to it's citizens. On June 4, 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110

authorizing the US Treasury to issue paper currency that could be redeemed for silver held by the treasury. As a result, this US currency was printed in denominations of $2 and $5 and inscribed with the words “United States Note” instead of “Federal Reserve Note.” Kennedy’s order was intended to wean the Federal Reserve System away from printing money, beginning a smooth transition toward returning the printing press to the hands of the American government.

      He was correcting a clear violation of the US Constitution and an absurd situation in which the US government could not print its own money. For the bankers who had founded the Federal Reserve, their greatest fear was about to come true. Now with one stroke of the pen, their plans to establish complete control over the US government and American society were faced with a clear and present danger. Because the fact was that the issuance of these small banknotes was to be followed by the complete suspension of the Fed’s right to print money.

      Kennedy also wanted to expose the CIA and the elite's control over the government. Before his trip to Dallas Kennedy stated that there is “ a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice... It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”

    

      He stated when in Florida a week before his trip to Dallas that he would soon give a speech to the American people that would “blow the lid off what we had been led to believe was true about America.” For that comment, his brains were splattered all over a Dallas street.

      Last month, the CIA has asked President Trump to delay the final release of the hidden information on the assassination. Why? Do a few more people have to be eliminated first? Will the American people ever know the real truth? Even when they are released it's a good bet that it won't be the real truth because then – they would have to kill us.

The Made-up "Evil" Enemy of the West, Vladimir Putin

By

       Phillip Todd

      Vladimir Putin is demonized daily in the US and it's western press. As a citizen of the world I cannot stand by and allow these outright lies and vicious falsehoods to continue to be shoved down America's throat without comment. This continuing stream of propaganda is driving our planet toward a war that we may not be able to recover from and for what? Continuing profit for the western elite.

      Since WWII the United States has been the #1 arms supplier to the world. Number one by a large margin. The main enemy during this time has been touted as Russia. This narrative keeps the citizenry living in constant fear and willing to sacrifice our national treasure and our young men's lives chasing this lie. The result is that the rich get richer. Nothing changes - Perpetual war.

      You want the truth? That is why you come here. We always suggest that you read news from “outside the US sphere of influence” to gain “rest of the world's” view. Use your own critical analysis and try to see the truth through a life time of repetitive propaganda that we all have endured since childbirth.

      Russia does NOT want to be our enemy, we make it so. The elite want it so. Russia wants respect, co-operation, and to feel safe within their own borders. Here are quotes from that “evil” Valdimir Putin. Read the words-grasp their meaning. You may not have heard much of this in our press-they don't want you to see the truth.

ON DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM

"People are always teaching us democracy but the people who teach us democracy don't want to learn it themselves."

"I think: the powers like to talk about "freedom" in order to wash the population's brains."

"At least in Russia, you cannot just go and tap into someones phone conversation without a warrant issued by court. That's more or less the way a civilized society should go about fighting terrorism.”

ON FAITH

"We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."

"I think every person should have some faith inside him, in his heart. What matters is not an external display of this faith, but the inner state of the soul."

ON LGBT

“If you want my personal attitude, I would tell you that I don't care about a person's sexual orientation.

“I myself know some people who are gay. We're on friendly terms. I'm not prejudiced in any way.”

ON RUSSIA

“I see that not everyone in the West has understood that the Soviet Union has disappeared from the political map of the world and that a new country has emerged with new humanist and ideological principles at the foundation of its existence.”

“Russia does not and cannot have any political choice but democracy. I want to say, and even stress, that we share those universal democratic principles taken around the whole world.”

“The Russian people have unilaterally made their choice in direction of democracy in the early '90s. They will not be led astray. Nobody should be having any doubts.”

"Russia does not want confrontation of any kind. And we will not take part in any kind of holy alliance."

"Russian culture is multifaceted and diverse. So if you want to understand, to feel Russia, then of course you need to read books, Tolstoy and Chekhov and Gogol and others. Listen to music. Tchaikovsky. Watch our classical ballet. But the most important thing is that you need to talk with people."

“If there are people who act outside the law, then the state must use legal means to impose law in the interests of majority. That's the way it's done in the U.S., and that's the way it's done in Russia. Our society, including the liberals, must understand that there must be order.”

"Stalinism is linked with a cult of personality and massive violations of the law, with repression and camps. There is nothing like that in Russia and, I hope, will never again be."

ON THE ELECTION

"I've repeatedly seen the anti-Russian card played during domestic political campaigns in the States. I think that it's a very short-sighted approach. It seems to me that it doesn't fully meet the level of responsibility that lies on the shoulders of the U.S. I think that all this should be more dignified, calm and more balanced."

“I think the American people should express their preferences, and we'll accept their choice.”

"Maybe they have nothing else to do in America but to talk about me."

ON THE UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY

“It's alarming that military intervention in internal conflicts in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States.”

“Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions together under the slogan, 'You're either with us or against us.'

“The United States has overstepped its borders in all spheres - economic, political and humanitarian - and has imposed itself on other states.”

“We must stop using the language of force and return to the path of civilized diplomatic and political settlement.”

      Are these the words of a tyrant? A war monger? An evil, once a KGB always a KGB Communist? No one reading these words could be that foolish....unless there was an agenda. I think President Putin also hit the nail on the head with a problem that we are having here. He stated before the Sochi games, “Politics should not interfere with sports. And sports should impact politics.” Wise words, NFL are YOU listening?

THE MEDIA CONTINUES TO DISTORT THE REALITY OF OURSELVES. OUR COUNTRY, AND THE WORLD

by

       M.Richard Maxson

      Are you being lied to by the media, by our government? To figure that out we must define what is a lie. We all recognize that a lie is a deliberate falsehood but there aren't there other types of lies? A partial truth that omits all the facts to accommodate an agenda, is a lie. Yes, the most believable lies are the ones that

contain some truth. The most accepted lies are the ones that broadcast repeatedly. As Vladimir Lenin said, “A lie told often enough becomes truth.” Repetition through multi-second soundbites hammers the propaganda of the broadcaster to the listener until it is accepted as fact. During the last century this was known as “brain-washing.”

      First, if you think that you have not been brain-washed, I challenge each of you to spend one month reading news and world views from outside the sphere

of the Western elites grip on media. The first thing you will notice is that western news is completely different than the rest of the world. On major U.S. cable news channels, the great bulk of coverage involves domestic politics, racism and celebrities. In the rest of the world and even in Europe, the focus is far more on international relationships, people working with people. The real news.

       In the West so-called news is a distraction to keep the public as un-informed as possible The deficit of real knowledge of world events are drowned out by daily continuous stories about Russia, Trump, and evil Caucasians. To this author, the constant propaganda is twisting the consciousness of the populace and is nothing short of criminal. It is creating a sick society that is beginning to feed on itself from within with hate and decisiveness, just what the elite want.

      The Left have been desperately working for months to find any shred of evidence that Donald Trump had even the slightest connection to Russia during the presidential campaign. Despite having the full support of their friends in the media, they have consistently failed to find anything substantive.

"This is not politics as usual but rather political warfare at an unprecedented level that is openly engaged in the direct targeting of a seated president through manipulation of the news cycle.” - Richard Higgins

       Russia-Gate, it was simply a classic Democrat distraction technique to get out in front of an issue they are vulnerable on: accuse the opposition of an almost identical act to misdirect the public. Their goal is to weaken the impact of the imminent exposure of their crimes and fatigue the public by confusing key elements of the narrative right before they are exposed. The press was more than happy assist and counter-spin reality.

      There was a reason for the distraction, the Clinton Foundation. It was set up as a charitable organization when in reality it was just a front for the largest political slush fund in history. It accepted illegal “charitable contributions” from foreign countries that went indirectly into the coffers of the Clinton campaign. This “charity” dispersed less than 15% of all donations and closed down after the campaign. Yet, the Media Research Center found that the ABC, NBC, and CBS evening shows have “spent only 3 minutes and 1 second on the Clinton Foundation scandal in more than two years.” The truth about the level of foreign donation, influence peddling, and outright corruption involved in the Clinton world could change America and American politics forever, but that's not the plan.

      So, what are North Americans to believe when constantly presented with one narrative? And why is the United States blaming Russia for alleged “hacks,” and censoring information it deems as “fake news?” Why not let the people decide for themselves rather than force their own perception of what is going on onto them? The connections between the CIA and mainstream media definitely aren’t helping matters, but that will have to wait for another time. The amount of misinformation now being generated by North American mainstream media, as well as their harsh criticism of their perceived enemies and the censorship and their discrediting of other “news,” that isn't their own is a scourge on our nation.
