July 03, 2011 journal, we are celebrating our dependence and not our free independence. Most people today do not know what they are celebrating on the fourth of July and it is just as well because we never got and we no longer have any independence or freedom. Today we live in a federal state police state with our constitution and bill of rights denied. America is dependent on China for our products and money to fight foolish wars while other Arab and oil rich nations loan us money including Russia. We are a third world. It is a fool's folly to chase after wealth and the Fed printing of money will be short-lived. Patriotism to what, a foreign Antichrist shadow government? We are ruled by vampires. Which will go first the states or the federal government, it really does not matter because all states are dependent on the dollar for a medium of exchange and that is deliberate by the neocons so that no state could operate independent of their independent currency. Just tell me 2 things? Is Minnesota furloughing their state police & stopped them lavish retirement checks? The answer is their highway patrol still remains and so do retirement. Minnesota State has shutdown because of a $5 billion short fall in finances. A majority of states are unable to pay their bills these days, most prefer to continue their elaborate retirement payments but cannot afford to pay their obligation to the unemployed people. Greece passes its austerity bill in order to receive IMF funds $16 billion bridge loan to tide them over the summer until they can get another big bailout to continue on. This action has brought massive protests in their streets because they're cutting out the poor. The U.S. stock market continues to climb up and the higher it gets the further it will fall. The local school board has only one direction an annual tax raise authority by four mills. Their tax base is collapsing from under them but they pretend to be on solid ground as they teach the atheistic theory of evolution to their defenseless state property children. Real history is not being taught in public schools such as creation first & foremost, then the history of this Masonic government and its being invaded by the Russian Zionists creators of communism and killers of Christians in Russia beginning in 1917 onward. The so-called "Church" is covered in confusion and cannot identify the real Antichrist. Pierre Klochendler, Inter Press Service: "The besieger is besieged, such is the forlorn fact emanating from the order by Greece to block the ships docked at its ports from setting sail to the Palestinian strip of land, and that fact seems to have sealed the Flotilla's fate." The Greek government must depend on the Jewish money monopoly for a future bailout, therefore they put money before the pitiful people of Gaza and their dire need of supplies. Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: "The U.S.-flagged ship 'The Audacity of Hope' left a Greek port today bound for Gaza, but the status of the 10-boat flotilla remains uncertain. At least one boat has already pulled out due to sabotage ... the Greek government ... blocked the ships' departure under international pressure. On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is entitled to stop the flotilla as part of its 'full right to operate against efforts to smuggle' weapons into Gaza." Over worked America-Monika Bauerlein and Clara Jeffery, Mother Jones: "Pundits across the political spectrum revel in the fact that US productivity (a.k.a. economic output per hour worked) consistently leads the world. Yes, year after year, Americans wring even more value out of each minute on the job than we did the year before. U-S-A! U-S-A! Except what's good for American business isn't necessarily good for Americans. We're not just working smarter, but harder. And harder. And harder, to the point where the driver is no longer American industriousness, but something much more predatory." Jewish League has Catholic priest fired over his comments on Poland being run by Jews. TSA agents manning those naked airport scanners are getting cancer and perhaps that will finally shut them down with their cabalistic immoral barbaric filthy fake security conduct. A group of 248 economist, six of whom are Nobel Prize winners, sent a letter to Congressional leaders demanding a clean vote to raise the debt-ceiling - arguing failure to do so could have, "a substantial negative impact on economic growth'; documents reveal some TSA agents working with airport scanner are getting cancer; a US military official confirmed yesterday that a drone attack was launched on two leaders of a Somalia militant group last week - bringing the total number of nations our military is bombing to six; over a million Ohioans sign a petition to repeal the new anti-union law in their state; Michele Bachmann suggests minimum wage kills job growth & needs to be eliminated". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_libel "In fact, ritual cleanliness for priests prohibited even being in the same room as ... There have been many blood libel accusations and trials of Jews, ... The origins of the blood libel are found in the writings of to the .... The libel was supported by the local governor and the European consuls posted to Rhodes. ..." 14 Propaganda Techniques Fox "News" Uses to Brainwash Americans. There is nothing more sacred to the maintenance of democracy than a free press. Access to comprehensive, accurate & quality information is essential to the manifestation of Socratic citizenship-the society characterized by a civically engaged, well-informed & socially invested populace. Thus, to the degree that access to quality information is willfully or unintentionally obstructed, democracy itself is degraded. It is ironic that in the era of 24-hour cable news networks and "reality" programming, the news-to-fluff ratio and overall veracity of infor-mation has declined precipitously. Take the fact Americans now spend on average about 50 hours a week using various forms of media, while at the same time cultural literacy levels hover just above the gutter. Not only does mainstream media now tolerate gross misrepresentations of fact and history by public figures (highlighted most recently by Sarah Palin's ludicrous depiction of Paul Revere's ride), but many media actually legitimize these displays. Pause for a moment and ask yourself what it means that the world's largest, most profitable and most popular news channel passes off as fact every whim, impulse and outrageously incompetent analysis of its so-called reporters. How did we get here? Take the enormous amount of misinformation that is taken for truth by Fox audiences: the belief that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and that he was in on 9/11, the belief that climate change isn't real and/or man-made, the belief that Barack Obama is Muslim and wasn't born in the United States, the insistence that all Arabs are Muslim and all Muslims are terrorists, the inexplicable perceptions that immigrants are both too lazy to work and are about to steal your job. All of these claims are demonstrably false, yet Fox News viewers will maintain their veracity with incredible zeal. Why? Is it simply that we have lost our respect for knowledge? My curiosity about this question compelled me to sit down and document the most oft-used methods by which willful ignorance has been turned into dogma by Fox News & other propagandists disguised as media. The techniques I identify here also help to explain the simultaneously powerful identification the Fox media audience has with the network, as well as their ardent, reflexive defenses of it. 1. Panic Mongering. This goes one step beyond simple fear mongering. With panic mongering, there is never a break from the fear. The idea is to terrify and terrorize the audience during every waking moment. From Muslims to swine flu to recession to homosexuals to immigrants to the rapture itself, the belief over at Fox seems to be that if your fight-or-flight reflexes aren't activated, you aren't alive. This of course raises the question: why terrorize your own audience? Because it is the fastest way to bypasses the rational brain. In other words, when people are afraid, they don't think rationally. And when they can't think rationally, they'll believe anything. 2. Character Assassination/Ad Hominem. Fox does not like to waste time debating the idea. Instead, they prefer a quicker route to dispensing with their opponents: go after the person's credibility, motives, intelligence, character, or, if necessary, sanity. No category of character assassination is off the table and no offense is beneath them. Fox and likemind-ed media figures also use ad hominem attacks not just against individuals, but entire categories of people in an effort to discredit the ideas of every person who is seen to fall into that category, e.g. "liberals," "hippies," "progressives" etc. This form of argument - if it can be called that - leaves no room for genuine debate over ideas, so by definition, it is undemocratic. Not to mention just plain crass. 3. Projection/Flipping. This one is frustrating for the viewer who is trying to actually follow the argument. It involves taking whatever underhanded tactic you're using and then accusing your opponent of doing it to you first. We see this frequently in the immigration discussion, where anti-racists are accused of racism, or in the climate change debate, where those who argue for human causes of the phenomenon are accused of not having science or facts on their side. It's often called upon when the media host finds themselves on the ropes in the debate. 4. Rewriting History. This is another way of saying that propagandists make the facts fit their worldview. The Downing Street Memos on the Iraq war were a classic example of this on a massive scale, but it happens daily and over smaller issues as well. A recent case in point is Palin's mangling of the Paul Revere ride, which Fox reporters have bent over backward to validate. Why lie about the historical facts, even when they can be demon-strated to be false? Well, because dogmatic minds actually find it easier to reject reality than to update their viewpoints. They will literally rewrite history if it serves their interests. And they will often speak with such authority that the casual viewer will be tempted to question what they knew as fact." read the balance of this article at- http://www.truth-out.org/14-propaganda-techniques-fox-news-uses-brainwash-americans/1309612678 by-Dr. Cynthia Boaz, Truthout | News Analysis "The Rev. Tadeusz Rydzyk doesn't like what he sees happening in his beloved country. "The tragedy of Poland is that Poland hasn't been ruled by Poles since 1939," Rydzyk said, according to Polish media reports on the speech. He added that, "this isn't an issue of blood or affiliation," but that those who rule Poland today "do not love in a Polish way, do not have a Polish heart." He also said Poland today is a totalitarian and "uncivilized country." To Americans, that seems like little more than a curmudgeonly minister's gripe about how things have gone downhill. But to European Jews, them's fightin' words! Though he did not mention Jews by name, his language echoed that of anti-Semites who claim that Jews hold excessive power in Poland and that Polish Jews are not "real Poles" with Polish interests at heart. The way the Jews see it, Rev. Rydzyk committed an unpardonable sin by pointing out that Jews in Poland have power disproportionate to their minority representation. Never mind that he didn't even mention Jews; they can sniff out an anti-Semite from a mile away."
