The Media And Those Who Own It

I am shocked when I hear that Obama is trying to create jobs and fix the economy. I then remember when he was elected and all his promises and I also remember how he would not side with any special interests. He is so involved with Corporate America that its truly pathetic that all this change only took place with the name of who is the President now or that America finally elected someone who has African Decent in his blood. At least that was done but thats all I give America credit for because all that has happened is the same ole, same ole.
I have fears in my country, Canada, because we are your neighbors and it seems that our leader is pro American, and willing to unite our countries with a currency which will mean much more that just that. The rights are being shredded a little at a time and the old will no longer exist, the constitution will not resemble what the founding fathers intended for their new free country. We are headed to a monarchy again and this time they will make sure that it will last. The patriot act is the beginning, with other changes coming soon and don't be surprised one day if you cant access many websites or restrictions and laws regarding what you are reading. Is this what freedom is? The patriot act allows government to search your home, arrest you without even allowing you a phone call, no one knowing that you have been arrested, wiretapping without any court orders, and so much more with the excuse of terrorism and that you are a terrorist. Our voices will be silenced because of fear of persecution because of threats of being arrested, and only because you have a difference of opinion or a different belief. Is that what the founding fathers had intended for freedom? They say its a different time, a different world. How serious is this terror threat? Really, look up how many terrorists have attacked after 9/11? Do they really need to do all the stepping on our rights and unconstitutional action, because we are in danger? There are reports that say that there was a warning that planes would be hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center so who's fault is that and would the patriot act have helped when the information was not received from these methods, so why change what seemed to be working. It wasn't that it didn't work, its just that someone made a mistake and maybe thought that it was not possible.
All I believe is that we should not change what those who built what has been America, had intended for freedom and we should not allow terrorists to determine what freedom is either and by destroying our freedom we are doing just that. If the constitution is shredded, we are allowing them to win and fear will be the everyday norm and it will dictate how we live. NO!!!
Obama must stop allowing others dictate what we need and Corporate America does not know whats best. He is involved more than you know and all the media you watch is doing what they want and reporting the news which is dictated by those who own it. Have you ever search to see who owns your favorite news station? Look it up, you will be surprised. Then ask yourselves this, will they be fair and unbiased when the select what will be shown and what will be news? Will they allow themselves to look bad in any way? Do they support a certain party and politician, and protect this person or that person when reporting the news? Do you think that they are showing what will be beneficial to their agenda or are they honest? Enough of the news wars and the putting down and name calling, where you have one station putting down another. The media is the peoples insurance that the government will be held accountable no matter which party it is or which politician it is. Enough is enough because our rights and freedoms are at risk and you are all allowing freedom of speech to be speech for those who can afford it. The First Amendment is in place to protect the media so that they can keep our leaders in place and hold them accountable and responsible for their actions or inaction, for the inappropriate behavior and wrong doings, not to protect them or sweep it under a rug. We are in danger and we are headed on a path of known territory and the territory resembles a past that was horrible and truly unspeakable, literally, which is not what the true leaders and visionaries of freedom intended. I am not against government or politicians, I am against our rights being stripped away, slowly, slowly and that we cannot assemble to share our views and share them peacefully, without violence, ever. I do not condone violence and will never support it, I do support peace and freedom, which means what was, not what is currently. We know what was, so please give us our was, thats all I ask. You can run the country. You can lead us like true leaders. The dreams of us all, should never be trampled on but should be allowed to come to fruition, in an America that is envied by everyone on the planet. Thats my dream. The problem is, I don't know if anyone on this planet can ever create this or can it become a reality, in a world where the rat race, or the monetary system is still in its current status. Man loves power and power is money. Only GOD can fix this world or system that we continuously try to change, always thinking that they know what is good for the masses and what should be.
Here is a list of all the Corporations and the media they own. Also below there is a list of Obama's Economic Advisor's which you really should see who they work for. I will let you know in my next post more about these people and corporations. Take care.

Is The Mainstream Media Corrupted And Biased?

As I watch all the news stations like CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, HLN, and all the rest I am frustrated at what I am watching. I always looked at reporters as the protectors of the freedom of speech and also protectors of the people. Politicians have always been thought of as 'liars' and that the founding fathers had a feeling that their constituents would be in danger of letting the power get to their heads so many things were put into place so that their country would not end up like the one they escaped from or left back in the days they were subjects in England. There is no King here or Queen. We are not commoners or nobles. We are people, brothers and sisters, fellow countrymen and women or whatever you want to call us. We have rights and those rights should be at the top of the list for protection because without rights, we would end up like countries like Libya, Syria, Egypt, which would not be fun. They cannot go out and protest things without the risk of getting shot or beat up. We are blessed with freedom but what is happening is not looking like a future of this same freedom we have been enjoying, but a police state with fear being promoted and categorized in levels and with colors being used to determine what the mood is for today. These fear mongers are continuously promoting fear and using it to control the people who have more power than we realize but believe these lies and the need for protection which has allowed the government to strip the rights of the people away, slowly but surely it is happening starting with the patriot act which is just the beginning but will not be the end.
The media was the protectors of our rights and freedom to say what we want but now the problem is that the media has been purchased by Corporations which in turn determine what the news will be. Think about it. Your not dumb, but the corporations would like to believe you are and thats why they manipulate the news to what they want and what they support will be the headlines. Dont you agree? You know that they will put whatever is best for their Company and for their agenda. They will support which ever politician that is on their payroll, which is so obvious today you have one supporting a Democrat or the other one supporting a Republican. What happened to unbiased and impartial reporting? What happened to going after the truth no matter what and no matter who? A classic example is the Watergate scandal with Richard Nixon who was set up in an interview with Robert Frost who got the best interview in history and did it with a president who is a part of a line of people who are all the same with the same belief and understandings which is that the president is above the law and whatever the president does is not against the law. Thats what they all believe, they believe that they know whats best for our country and our world and that they can do as they please. Just read up on the past, study history and you will see the garbage and lies. Are we so gullible to believe that the politician has turned over a new leaf and have become honest people in office. There was one who was called honest, and that was honest Abe and we all know what happened to him. He was killed because he went against the norm and against the elite, who are the ones who are in power and who control our countries. We all know who they are. I don't care about running any country or care if they do. All I care about is our rights and that they should not try to take away those rights. You can stay in power, just leave the constitution and the bill of rights alone. Get rid of the patriot act and let people have the right to speech and getting together to demonstrate and share our opinions. The world belongs to every person alive on this planet and not to 5 percent who want to do as they please because they have money which has absolutely no value whatsoever. Money is debt and the debt will never be abolished because of interest which will always incur debt. Pay off all the debt and you remove all the paper we call money and still not have enough to do it because as soon as it was printed, the country is minus more than its value and the question is to who do we owe this money too? Thats real. Thats what the media should be reporting or at least one of the things that should be, not all the crap thats on there yesterday and today and OMG how about tomorrow? It is a circus and pathetic what has and is on everyday. The problem is, is that these corporations hire saps that they know will do what they want because they are so opinionated and usually liberal or conservative, and these reporters are so predictable, which allows them to do whatever they want and the reporters think that they have a say in what is on but in fact they don't. They don't because the employers know them inside and out and know that they are democrat or republican and liberal or conservative which then allows them to basically predict what their employees will be putting on and if they don't agree with something they will make a sudden change which does not give the reporter any time to argue or disagree because it comes down at the last second.
I will leave you with this thought. The first amendment is the Freedom of the Press and it is there to protect the press and allow them to hold our power hungry politicians accountable for their actions and inactions. It was also protected because they are our, the people's protectors, protectors of our rights and free speech. They do not realize or maybe they do, that without them doing their job this dream will not last too much longer. We are in danger and unless a miracle happens, we are looking more and more like Europe did a few decades ago. Do you not think that we can give birth in this country to a dictator or mass murderer like Hitler, Mussolini, or any other dictator, or that we are so safe that we will always have the freedoms we do? Think about it. This is a place to think and all I want to do is talk about this and see what everyone thinks because things are changing and they are not changing for the better. Take care and I hope I am wrong, I really do.

Propaganda, Rhetoric, Lies, Biased Reporting In The Media Today.

This blog is about the garbage I have been watching on a daily basis. The media has become a circus and a venue of opinion and biased reporting. I am appalled at what I have been watching as news these days and I am concerned because the media should be on top of what the government is doing. They should hold them accountable and make sure that they don't get away with murder, but today's news does not do that, they have become supporters of a party, which has reminded me of turf wars. The east coast vs the west coast, so Fox News vs. MSNBC is the top fight at the moment. They are constantly at each others throat, one putting down the other and whats really pathetic is that people watch this. I have been studying their behaviour and reporting because this will be a serious issue, especially when the media was protected by the first amendment of the United States Constitution, so that they would basically hold those in power accountable for their actions and lack of action. Today they do the opposite, they support their candidate and they will bash the other party to no end. Look at the latest news, with Governor Weiner and the whole Weiner issue. Its been all over the news and Takes up at least 15 to 18 minutes on every show that is an hour but then you should minus the commercials and what do you have? 45 minutes of news at the most. There is so many issues that need to be addressed and we waste time on someone who has not been as bad as other politicians who are still in office and who broke the law in some cases. MSNBC has been one of the worst for this garbage. They are so biased and the one sided reporting, protecting any Democrat but mostly their news is about putting down the Republicans, bashing them day in and day out. I'm sorry this is pathetic and sad to accept because if society is agreeing with this crap we are seriously in trouble because its a smoke screen for the real issues and the real news which is destroying our countries (Canada and The U.S) daily because the real issues are not being addressed. Politicians are getting away with anything and everything especially those who are not fixing the economy and creating jobs but they sure as hell love to collect the taxes dont they. We need to get together and support those who speak out against this hogwash that they call news. I will continue to challenge anything I find and I will continue to write about the real issues. I hope that anyone who reads this follows me and gets their friends to support this blog because your rights will be trampled on and I will show you everything that I have already found out that will make your head spin. Do not continue to believe that you are free or that your rights are at the top of the list when it comes to being protected to say what you feel. Enough of the lies, its time to make it all come out in the open and all I ask is that you keep and open mind and forget about what you are watching on these media stations because you want to know some real stuff? The media you are watching, who owns it? Do you know? Guess what, corporate America owns pretty much all the stations. Google it, look it up and then ask yourself, what is their agenda? What will they really want shown and does it benefit them to support candidates or even better, would they really want the truth put out there? One last thing I ask of you. That is to really listen to what you have been watching and calling news and then look around the web and see whats going on around the world and compare what MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, HLN, and all the rest is putting on. Is it important issues or does it seem like the enquirer or a soap opera. The news should not have an opinion and should not take sides. It should not be biased and partial but unbiased and impartial. It should protect the people from the politicians from abusing their power, not be afraid that they will be called unpatriotic. Do not let you rights be taken away, lets fight to get the constitution back to the original form. People will use fear to make you think that you need to be protected and in the process your rights will be stripped away, one letter at a time until we resemble what the founding fathers fought against and what they sailed away from. They escaped witch hunts, public executions, fear of opinions, fears of going against what the monarch was and stood for. They left that life and would not allow the U.S or Canada become the same ole crap. The CBO director testified that the ObamaCare will kill 800 000 jobs and MSNBC always talks and mentions the CBO in their reporting, but when it comes to this you don't hear about it. WHY??? Because Obama is the perfect president and GE who owns MSNBC and Microsoft too will not allow the real issues reported. I have sent many emails and you never hear them fix the mistake which I thought maybe they made but you hear more garbage and nonsense. Its time to unplug people. Many people have become mentally lazy and they tend to allow others dictate what they should believe. You are listening and being told what is important and whats news because their ratings are going up. Enough is enough lets get togther and Stop De Pressing Now. Peace and prays to those who are suffering with no rights. Lets not forget how good we have it because on day it could be gone.
