The Bush Push To Take Control Of Our Media and What You Can Do About It by Cliff Carson Page 1 of 1 page(s) |

The FCC, headed up by Bush crony Kevin Martin, is laying plans to take from you freedom of the Media, that is if you let them. And yes, you can stop them, if enough of us join together to form a formidable army of opposition. With millions of Internet users and a multitude of even more Newspaper readers, TV watchers, and Radio listeners, one would think stopping the grab would be a slam-dunk. Don’t kid yourself. The enemy, those who would steal your freedom of the press, is counting on you sitting on your duff only to whine when the hammer falls. The time to take action is now. Martin plans to eliminate on December 11th, the FCC regulation that stops Conglomerate ownership of a Newspaper, a Radio Station, and/or a Television Station in the same City. This is a protection for the public from a Media that could be utilized, by those like Bush and his Cronies; to subject the area public with saturated 24/7 propaganda, spun news, and likely censorship. Imagine that if all the news and information you could get came from one source, could you ever be sure of just what exactly was going on. For an illustrative scenario read the book 1984 by George Orwell. They are also after the Internet. See, the Bush appointee Kevin Bush (and his Big Business Corporate Friends) would have you believe that the Internet is going to crash and at that time you will lose your Internet and only if you give it away to them now can it be saved. The FCC underlying message is this: “By Internet Users taking control of their Internet, they are straining the net to its top the limit. The only way to save the Internet from the coming “exaflood”, as Martin proposes (as reported to USA), is to pay usage money and Federal Dollars to the likes of AT&T and let them gut Net Neutrality protections so they can fix the problem. Ever wonder how the Internet got to its current level without Government control? Do you think the Net would be so successful if it had been managed by the Government all along? Ok, Ok, that was a dumb question. Just what might be the real problem? Being an old retired Engineering type I recall problem solving being accomplished by the “Peel the Onion Exercise”.
Works like this: Peel the first layer of the onion and see what is revealed. I believe that if you peel off that first layer you will find who will benefit from the proposed FCC change. See what I’m saying? It ain’t you is it? Yep, there, laid bare, is the real winner- Corporate control of the Media. Agree?
Peel the next layer and see a developing incestuous relationship between Government and Corporate America. Lets see, 1+1=Control +Power, Ok now we’re in trouble. Are we about to lose our Freedoms, maybe our Democracy? What is freedom of the press worth to you? I submit it is worth every thing you ever had and every thing you ever would have.
You don’t have to give it up without a fight. I said earlier that the time to take action is now. How do you do that? Simply by clicking below a message will be sent for you, or you may write your own message.

Whoever controls the Media controls the populace
It is evident that the propaganda fed us by the Bush Administration over the past 7 years has been restrained only by laws protecting the free press. Thankfully those laws are barriers to wanna be absolute power ego's. And the Bush Administration is the epitome of power ego's. And at this moment in time America is beset with those who would steal your liberties. So be careful and rise up every time there is a challange to those liberties. They can be very hard maybe impossible to recover. Cliff Carson by Cliff Carson (7 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 22 comments) on Tuesday, Nov 27, 2007 at 6:59:17 PM

Karl Rove blames Congress not Bush for starting Iraq war.
Here is the link: I realize many of you will have to see it to believe it.

Reply to Christie "Karl Rove blames Congress...Iraq War"
Christie Thanks for your comment. And the observation that with this bunch consisting of Rove, Bush, Cheney, etal, nothing should be a surprise.. These people have no morality, yet they claim to be Christian and keepers of Family Values. These people have lied and covered up and stonewalled and demonized, yet they claim to be stewards of good citizenship. These people have conspired with their cohorts to steal, from the American, those Liberties that we have bought thru sacrifice. These people want your most precious asset. Your freedom.. Only when you are no longer free can they feel safe from retribution for their sins. These people have enablers who stand to profit handsomely in complicity of their Malfeasance. Am I surprised that Rove is seeking to place the Iraq fiasco on someone else? I would be surprised if he didn’t. And if these people get total control over our freedom of the press, our Media, we will have lost our greatest asset. It goes to one of my favorite quotes: As long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress.
