Hypocrisy of US Mainstream Press
President Obama has been the most aggressive in going after “leaks” that reveal how government lies to the people on one subject or another. His efforts to protect the government are disgraceful and if government was honest, well there wouldn’t be leaks.
But the real issue that is a disgrace has been the conduct of the American mainstream press. When they are attacked like the Associate Press reporters covering leaks, suddenly their is solidarity. Yet I fail to see the difference when it came to Julian Assange. There was absolutely no such solidarity in reaction to the government’s open, public accusations against Mr Assange for exposing the same issues of government cover-ups. Fox News commentators were dismissive of Mr Assange’s free-speech claims. The real shocker was the Washington Times who ran an op-ed piece that advocated the assassination of Mr Assange, while the National Review Online‘s Jonah Goldberg wondered why Mr Assange wasn’t dead already!
Julian Assange’s actions of Wiki-Leaks were exactly the same as those of Fox News’s Mr Rosen. So who in the mainstream media is setting the tone to kill foreign reporters seeking the truth? In my own case, I confronted Judge Richard Owen with his conduct that is anyone else did would have been a life sentence being 5 years for each instance of altering court documents. The courtroom was packed. EVERY news organization was there. Lawyers said I was crazy. “You cannot accuse a judge publicly of changing the transcripts.” Yet, everyone knows they do it and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged they do it and claimed it lacked the power to order judges to obey the law in US v Zichettelo (see page 97).
Nonetheless, I simply do not care. If they want to kill me, do it. I have never feared death and agreed with Socrates it is either a migration of the soul to where you see all your old friends or it is like a mid-summer night sleep, so peaceful I would not even be disturbed by a dream. How many of us have such wonderful nights? So when you really do not fear the corruption of people like Tancred Schiavoni of O’Melveny & Myers and Allen Cohen of Goldman Sachs, and their support of altering the records to cover-up their crimes, it leads to interesting results. There were so many people there that day to what this spectacle of putting a Federal judge in the spot light and his whole staff, that Judge Richard Owen was scared. He could not deny his illegal actions. So I forced him to publicly admit his crime.
JUDGE RICHARD OWEN: “I don’t remember ever making any change to a transcript of any substance whatever. I may have stuck in a coma. I may have stuck in a dash. But I don’t remember ever changing anything of substance.”
(Southern District of New York Tr; 9/23/03, p45, L7-11)
The mainstream press knows that the NY court is rotten to the core. They refuse to publish the truth EVER. The Second Circuit REFUSED to recuse the judge even after this public spectacle. Andrew Ross Sorkin of the New York Times then now CNBC Anchor and author of Too Big to Fail came to see me about this very issue and told me Judge Owen was altering the transcripts in Frank Quatrone’s case as well. But the New York Times would NEVER allow a journalist to report how really corrupt the legal system is. How can anyone believe anything in court when they can change the words you speak? I wrote to Dorothy Heylof the SEC and said just get it over with and produce a transcript that I confessed to whatever they wanted. Since they can change the words you speak in a “public” hearing, then what is the point of all the nonsense?
The mainstream press is way too much in bed with government. When Thomas Jefferson was asked if he had to choose between a “free” press and government which would he choose? He said the press. They were supposed to be a first line of defense to ensure “public trials” I was denied and honesty in government when they called for the assassination of Assange for doing what a REAL journalist should be doing. Reforming government will require reforming the so called “free press” as well. It should be a crime not to report the truth when you know what it is. Journalists would print it. Their bosses won’t let them.
What’s Wrong with Anglo-Saxons?
Neither Hitler or Stalin and certainly not Mao could ever conquer Britain of the United States. The battle cry was always liberty and justice for all. But something has seriously changed. The attitudes of those in power are like some Evil Villain out to plot against the world and are so paranoid, they cannot sleep at night worrying you might be doing something against their dictatorial powers.
All we need is a couple of crazy people to do something and that serves as the excuse to tear down all human rights. Everything that once made nations great, the liberator from tyranny, has long since been forgotten. The crazy 24 year-old who shot people in a movie James Holmes, (http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/20/us/colorado-theater-shooting) sparked calls for metal detectors at all movie theaters. I certainly would never go again.
The TSA is removing all xray machines from airports. The public explanation is “privacy” since they are virtual strip searches (http://www.propublica.org/article/tsa-removes-x-ray-body-scanners-from-airports). However, the real story nobody wants to publicly confess is they produce cancer. Think about it. When you go to the dentist they cover you up with shielding so they only x-ray the key area. Why? Because x-rays are accumulative! The dentist leaves the room. These morons put these machines in airports and the TSA people will probably glow into their 70s if they live that long, and if you were a frequent flyer, you were getting more than you bargained for. There is no shielding and if a pregnant woman is even near these things it can cause birth defects. There are NEVER any checks and balances against government action. They act first, and then it is your obligation to prove what they are doing is WRONG! The people that work in government are not the brightest bulb in the box as a rule.
Take the other dirty little secret of 911 and the World Trade Center buildings. I personally met people who built those buildings. Why did the fire bring down the structures so fast? We need not look at explosives and all sorts of conspiracies. The bottom line they also do not want to talk about – there were NO sprinkler systems in the stairwells because THEY were the property of the Port Authority who makes so much money off the tolls ($12 now) that they could not remove them as originally promised. So the spent the money building the WTC and then to save money they were EXEMPT from the same safety standards if the building was privately owned. Nobody can regulate the regulators. When it is their fault, they blame the private sector as always. That is the core cover-up of 911 – inferior materials and structural eliminations to save money. NEVER rent space in a building built but government – YOU GOTTA BE NUTS!!!!!!!!!! If the building inspector dared to flunk the project in comes the IRS to audit him personally.
In London, UK Home Secretary is naturally now proposing far wider invasion powers in light of Woolwich attack (http://rt.com/news/woolwich-snoopers-charter-murder-811/). The problem is once they get info that has nothing to do with the purpose, like the Port Authority with its excess cash, they just can’t let it go to waste. In Paris a man of North African origin did the same stabbing a French soldier (http://rt.com/news/france-soldier-stabbed-paris-798/).
Obama stated the war on terror is over recasting the image of the terrorists from enemy warriors into cowardly thugs. Crazy people have always been around. They are using this to increase surveillance domestically forcing people to surrender more rights.
On my trip around the world, my assistant Danielle had a large pair of scissors in her computer bag from the office she forgot to take out and carried on the plane. She got through Philadelphia, then San Diego to Chicago, then Chicago to Hong Kong, then to Beijing. When we were leaving Beijing for Singapore, they discovered the scissors. They looked at her, confiscated them, and sent us on our way. Three separate TSA screenings failed to see a 6″ pair of scissors. So much for security.
It was the 911 Attack that swept in the Patriot Act and now any bank wire for $3,000 mut be reported to the government. Pretty soon it will be an ATM withdrawal of $2 or more. Remember Elliot Spritzer who started to go after Wall Street, suddenly his checks were being examined under the terrorist acts but revealed a prostitute. So he was forced to resign. That protected Wall Street bankers.
All I can say is Anglo-Saxons are the worst. Like the Puritans, the Salem Witch Trials took place because something strange happened to someone and they blamed others who must have cursed them. This is how government function still today. They never look at themselves and blame always someone else using CONSPIRACY because legally you do not need to prove the person did anything, they just “agreed” to the act that someone else did and you are guilty. Of course like Salem, there is no actual evidence of an “agreement” so they put on circumstantial evidence to convince the jury they were more likely than not in agreement.
We approach even global warming the same way. Has anyone bothered to look at analytic studies based upon ice core samples that reveal the cyclical nature of weather? No – it must be something created now. Then there was 1816, the Year Without a Summer that took placeBEFORE cars. How about crop failures? Perhaps we should sacrifice politicians to the gods and global warming will go away. It would certainly thin the herd.
For whatever reasons, the ancient right of Deodand was a thing forfeited or given to God that was a matter of ancient law, where the object or instrument became forfeited because it has caused a person’s death. So if you had a horse that ran and killed someone, the horse was sold and the money was given for prayers to God. The Kings of England displaced God and anything that was used in a crime or the proceeds no longer went to God, but to the King. To this day, asset forfeiture is practiced in the US and Britain as a matter of right where the government assumed the role of God. Ah – the arrogance of government. And now they can search anything anytime without a warrant. That is precisely the injury that John Adams saidthere and then the Revolution was Born at a trial in Boston against this same practice by the King where his agents needed no warrants they just seized whatever they desired. The rummages through your papers to see if you disparaged the King and his agents. If you did – off you went. Search Warrants were once our protection against tyranny. Make prosecutors judges and there is no rule of law left. Welcome to the Decline & Fall of Western Society.
