For those of us who voluntarily expose ourselves to the news that isn’t news on Lame Street Media, this morning was a real waker-upper. We have all come to expect sports games being treated as if they were of national importance; after all why wouldn’t we? It’s not like we have illegal wars being conducted on numerous fronts, or the corruption on Wall Street and in the overall banking system isn’t killing us economically.
The interlacing of sports news, celebrity mis-haps and other nonsense that is irrelevant considering the current sad state of affairs of our country goes, eats up a huge portion of valuable time that isn’t consumed by the incessant commercials for crap you aren’t likely to buy anyway.
Sports and celebrity news seems to consume large blocks of time while relevant news (what little is offered) gets a few sound bites and we can suddenly find ourselves listening to a story about a man who saw Jesus’ face in cheeseburger that he is selling on Ebay. My yes….that would be important and so earthshaking.
I watch at least one of these corporate/government shills for the powers that be every morning just to note what they ARE NOT reporting that might have been of real interest and useful to the average viewer. And then it happened……………
I was sipping my coffee, kind of zoning out as the CNN (and several other cable networks) broadcaster smiled and talked about football as if it really mattered to any of us out here who are observing the slow wrenching demise of our economy, the on-going and growing corruption of the government, and suddenly Newty Gingrich appeared on my screen. The cream in my coffee curdled, and I mentally recoiled as if a huge snake had appeared before me. In essence it had.
I was stunned to learn that this pompous, arrogant, philandering, corrupt politician that we have tried repeatedly to drive out of national politics because he brings the vomit up in most people’s throats at just the mention of his name……this liar of epic proportions who claimed he had multiple affairs outside of his marriage(s) as a result of his deep passionate love of country that he could express only by engaging in repeated sexual dalliances with various women; he was supposedly leading the pack of GOP contenders for the presidential election.
Wait a minute! What happened to family values? Moral convictions? Defending traditional marriage? Rediscovering God? Cleaning up the District of Criminals?
And finally and most importantly……what happened to Ron Paul?
Ron Paul has outdone every other candidate on the GOP ticket. Support for Paul on both sides of the fictional left/right divide is monumental. Yet not one cable network that aired this obviously fictional accounting of who was in the lead even mentioned, noted or alluded to the fact that Ron Paul was even in the race, much less that he was far and away the leader of the pack.
Here before me was one of the clearest indicators showing just how controlled these media outlets are; how willing they are to turn the cameras on and stare straight into them and …..lie. The 3 minute or less snippet on Gingrich was immediately followed by news about the Giants….then another on how Michael Vick broke some ribs. I know this only because I was sitting in stunned, paralyzed silence, unable to hit the “off” button on the remote.
Newty Gingrich isn’t even a contender, unless of course we are considering going into the business of running brothels, internationally.
At some point maybe Ron Paul will ditch the Republican party and run as an Independent. If he were to do this, and if the electronic voting machines weren’t so easily rigged, it is quite possible that a true landslide election would occur. Can’t you just imagine the “reporting” on these government controlled media outlets? Maybe something like…….
“Good morning! Newty Gingrich joins us to discuss the presidential election and the rumor is we have a new president but we didn’t get his name which isn’t a problem for our guest because he can’t remember his most recent wife’s name! (giggle giggle)….. So Newty….what do you think about the Giants?”

I can’t believe anyone would support Newt after his comments about wanting to turn poor children into janitors. Break them in early to lick the boots of the rich.! He should have been booed off stage at that point. People are afraid of letting their voices be heard. If I’d have been there, I may have been thrown out, but I’d have had my feelings aired as to how little time Paul got and what a government insider Newt is. How arrogant he is to laugh off questions and make a mockery of the debates And all his little minions giggle at his mockery. Can’t someone intelligent host the debates? Why does it always have to be mainstream media?
I find him disgusting to even look at or listen to. Same with the Obomba gang.
If Ron Paul is elected president, heaven help him. If he is not, heaven help us.!

Government Could Hide Existence of Records under FOIA Rule Proposal
by Jennifer LaFleur
ProPublica, Oct. 24, 2011, 10:26 a.m.
A proposed rule to the Freedom of Information Act would allow federal agencies to tell people requesting certain law-enforcement or national security documents that records don’t exist – even when they do…..

Unfortunately, (and I hate to have to say this) I now believe that Paul must be a pawn of the elites. There are a number of reasons that have led me to come to this conclusion but the most significant of these is simply that they have allowed him to be a contender. Not anyone can be a contender–they hand-picked all the others. So why would they hand-pick Paul???

The MSM downplays the popularity of the candidate who is least likely to be status quo, while overplaying the popularity of the candidate who is most likely to be status quo.
We have the 26th freest press in the world. What did you expect, the truth?! We should have a national “beat-a-banker day” and a national “kick-a-journalist-in-the-crotch day.
And every day should be punch-a politician day.

Mr. Boering, excellent post. I like your writing. They are terrified of Ron Paul, and I suggest folks take a look at RC Politics poll for New Hampshire, what do do know, Ron Paul is running a solid second, and we all know the big surprise that is coming in Iowa. The folks of Iowa are know fools, Dr. Paul will score and upset, I am predicting a solid second. Then what do they do? They have pulled all the rabbits out of their hats….my guess, they drag in Sarah Palin before they let Ron Paul debate Romney, mano a mano, before a national audience. They are terrified of him. Here is an article I wrote on why

The Washington agenda is set by powerful corporate interests, a foreign lobby and a right wing that supports foreign interests above US interests. This is a serious pivotal time where these special interests are attempting to determine the fate of U.S. sovereignty and world standing. The constant absurd theatre of lies blasting through the media shrilling out which one of the current sockhead puppets running for president is the current favorate. Each one gets to be the poll favorite, then they get smacked down. Ron Paul has been the one with consistently good poll numbers, however the powers that be will never permit the truth.
The are setting the stage to install BHO. The masters at the top are doing remarkedly dumb and stupid actions, or are they reactions?….. What are they FEARING.

Thank God for the Internet, a common sense of not being fooled and people sharing one to another; That is something the puppet masters can not control, at least until the kill switch is acted on.
I saw the same pronouncement a few days ago in an appeal from TownHall from the lizard’s camp showing that Newt was the clear leader of the Iowa polls at 37%. “His star is on the rise and now is the time” (or something like that).
It seems the puppet masters are throwing a slew of neocon choices to see which one sticks the best. Either that or the fix is in for BHO’s second term.
However that will not happen with Ron in the way.
The next hurdle is vote rigging and machine tampering.

This was posted by one of the readers on another website. They are out there TRYING and they should have support from the rest of us. America’s youth are getting the short end of the stick.
