Obama calls for civility, then immediately taunts Republicans

Obama calls for civility, then immediately taunts Republicans Most divisive president in history Obama calls for civility, then immediately taunts Republicans President Obama spent much of Tuesday’s State of the Union calling for civility in politics — then taunted Republicans over his two election victories, after many of them applauded the looming end of his political career.

Truth, War Propaganda, CIA and Media Manipulation

Truth, War Propaganda, CIA and Media Manipulation Never before has it been so important to have independent, honest voices and sources of information. We are – as a society – inundated and overwhelmed with a flood of information from a wide array of sources, but these sources of information, by and large, serve the powerful interests and individuals that own them. The main sources of information, for both public and official consumption, include the mainstream media, alternative media, academia and think tanks. The mainstream media is the most obvious in its inherent bias and manipulation. The mainstream media is owned… View Article

CNN host sacked for criticism of Israel

CNN host sacked for criticism of Israel CNN International correspondent Jim Clancy has become the latest journalistic victim of the Zionist thought police. CNN confirmed on Saturday that Clancy had been terminated (fortunately without extreme prejudice) in the wake of a Twitter battle with ranting Israeli propaganda mouthpieces. During the Twitter exchange, Clancy blasted what he called the “Hasbara team” including a self-styled “Elder of Zion” who later publicly celebrated getting Clancy fired. “These accounts are part of a campaign to do PR for #Israel,” Clancy tweeted, belaboring the obvious. Apparently the self-proclaimed “Elders of Zion” really do run CNN…. View Article
