WHO OWNS THE NEWS
So who owns the news? Time was when there was at least an attempt at ethics in news reporting. The journalist had a code to live by, just as a doctor had the Hippocratic Oath. Sadly, the journalist's code has morphed into some sort of "social justice" mandate. The journalist was, originally, supposed to report, not skew or create the news. But of course, that wouldn't make Fabian Socialists happy.
And while I am at it, who owns access to the news?
Cities and towns all over the country have created government utilities including water, sewer, waste management, and energy. This basically creates a monopoly on those services. Lo and behold, what are they wanting to control now? Broadband access to the internet. Sure, what a great idea. Let's have government in the business of controlling access to news and research. Heaven forbid we should have a free marketplace where people can go to any source for news.
Two "news" articles grabbed my attention in the past week on the subject of journalism. One is involving the North Carolina senate who passed a bill limiting municipalities from operating their own fiber networks. NC Debate On Broadband
Thank you, North Carolina senate for at least attempting to nip this poisonous idea in the bud. I am doubting that our Democrat Governor will sign onto this bill, in spite of our representatives' good attempts at reining in government control of our lives.
Opposition camps to the bill say:
"People in at least two North Carolina communities—Albemarle and Chapel Hill–apparently agree with the opponents, as both communities passed resolutions disapproving of the newly approved bill as well as another piece of anti-municipal broadband legislation that the state is considering."
"The resolutions also argue that the legislation will limit smart grid deployments, prevent collaboration among local governments through regional public safety networks, hinder the deployment of traffic management systems, bar municipalities from working with school districts and community colleges on shared networks, and interfere with basic government operations, thereby undermining the local economies."
To which I say, HOLD ON THERE MARXISTS!!! (above article cites "people" when it really means community councils...not anything to do with referendums or ballots.) Ask the people if they want government controlled "smart grids." Ask the people if they want more government interference in our economies. How's that been working out for us lately?? As for the rest of it, nothing is preventing the cooperation between traffic management and school districts now. I'm sure one of the existing broadband companies can supply that capability right now, or is already. So who the heck are you kidding!??!
When once we allow any local government to control access to communications, this will set the precedent for "regional governments," or the States or the Feds to step right in and take control of who delivers internet access and what will be allowed through that access. Municipal governments are trying the "bottom up" method of using government to over-ride our liberty via the free markets. Mind you, the Feds are already busy trying to do this using the "top down" method through the FCC. Either way, it is a bad omen for freedom of the press. Government does not have the right to use your tax money to create either a monopoly of communications, the press, or create a competing entity with the free market press. Government only has the Constitutional obligation to protect freedom of the press and the free expressions of the people. Otherwise, the government (at whatever level) is supposed to stay the heck out of it, Constitutionally speaking.
Lastly, the other news story is a bit of the "other side of the coin." Our favorite monetary bully, Mr. Soros, is using the marketplace to buy up news media in order to promote his very sick ideas of what the world should be. Further, journalists in those outlets have joined Soros' boards of his socialist/globalist organizations. Funny thing that Soros would use the free market to shut down the free market, but that is his MO, so not too surprising. He is a master of oxymoronic behavior. Yes, he has the right to buy news media outlets. My question is: "When does someone have the right to commit fraud upon the public through the public airways?" Using his media outlets as indoctrination forums is hardly reporting the news, just so you know. But I could say the same of Al Jazeera. And NPR/PBS. Is it fraud? Or is it not? Has journalism lost its code? You betcha! The blessing is we have at least a few competing news media outlets who are telling the truth about Soros to the public. But, not if Soros and those who want control of news and access have their way.
With the mainstream media spewing socialist/globalist nonsense all day long, the only alternative most of us have had is to go looking for truth from both sides of issues on the internet. Without the free market flow of information, we might as well go back to the pounding of drums, or smoke signals, or maybe Paul Revere's famous ride to find out what is going on around us. If governments and Soros have their way, we will be back to the dark ages in short order. What do I mean by that? I mean information will be so skewed by the socialist/globalist ideology of big-government power-brokers that the general public will be dumbed down to the point of extinction. Soros would drive the last nail in that coffin, gleefully.
But that is the goal, isn't it? Welcome to the new Idiocracy!

SOROS' OPEN SOCIETY IS AN ABERRATION OF A DERANGED MIND
Beginning with Soros' education in England, he was submersed into the Fabian Socialist methods at "The London School of Economics. Within this education, he studied the theories of Karl Popper. So let's look at Popper for a minute:
Wikipedia on Popper
Wrap your mind around this from Popper: "We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal."
In other words, Karl Popper believes all things tolerable except for those persons who are intolerant. I seem to remember that there are some cultures who believe in cannabalism. Should we be intolerant or tolerant of that? The morés of a culture that do not tolerate homosexuality or adultery, for instance, are intolerable morés. A religion that does not tolerate drug use, or bigamy, for instance, is an intolerable religion. Popper believes all things are tolerable except for intolerance? Hmmm...try that on for size. Where does that leave civilization?
More on Popper's connection to Soros from Wikepedia: "Popper's influence, both through his work in philosophy of science and through his political philosophy, has also extended beyond the academy. Among Popper's students and advocates at the London School of Economics is the billionaire investor George Soros, who says his investment strategies are modelled on Popper's understanding of the advancement of knowledge through the distinctly Hegelian idea of falsification. Among Soros's philanthropic foundations is the Open Society Institute, a think-tank named in honour of Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies, which Soros founded to advance the Popperian defense of the open society against authoritarianism and totalitarianism."
Soros Bio in Brief Here
"Popper was also a distinguished social philosopher whose passionate denunciation of all forms of totalitarianism in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945) gave Soros a personal idol, a lifetime belief system, and a brand name for his future charities. Soros took the open society idea to extravagant heights: for him it transcended all other standards of civic virtue.
Soros never studied under Popper, but read his works and submitted essays to him for review and comment. In 1982, when Soros named his first foundation the Open Society Fund and informed the philosopher, Popper was not sure he recalled Soros, but was pleased by the honor.
Although a mediocre student at LSE, Soros was intensely intellectual and felt he was meant to be a philosopher, fancying himself Popper's successor. However, in midlife he realized that he had no talent for it, and, after years in psychotherapy, resigned himself to making large amounts of money for his messianic mission to promote Popper's open society concept worldwide.
Popper's two-volume Open Society and Its Enemies focused on closed societies that suppressed reason, ones he condemned as magical, tribal or collectivist, but didn't say much about the open society itself, beyond freedom of scientific inquiry and the freedom to dissent. Ironically, Soros donations go largely to collectivist dissent. The logical disconnect between Popper's concept and Soros' implementation has been noted by critics."
Source:
From an essay by Roger Sandall on Popper's Open Society Theory
"But in the society aspiring to be open, the ends can be challenged and changed by “piecemeal social engineering.” To try to replace the bad old ends by new ends designed to be just as rigidly followed in order to achieve perfection, is to fall into the trap of “utopian social engineering.” It is to return to the tribalism of the closed society. It is for Popper the fatal weakness of doctrinaire socialism and Marxism in particular, and of all historicist philosophies of history that claim to know the inevitable process of change and therefore to predict the future and act on those predictions. Thus Popper appealed equally to moderate Tories who believed in muddling through, and to Fabian socialists who were for gradual pragmatic reform."
Does that last sentence explain the attraction to both the right and the left to "utopian social engineering?"
The interesting thing to me about Soro's / Popper's theory is that both of them wish to break down the sociological connections to cultural morés and historical information which tie a culture together. When I look at the "Open Society" theory, what I see is chaos and ignorance. Another interesting thing about Soros is that he has figured out how to profit from chaos and ignorance. He uses the supposed "downtrodden" and "disaffected" to try to justify his "Open Society." With his wealth, he is creating a redistribution system using our money, our taxes, our commerce, and our government.
Then there is the "Open Borders" part of Soros' "Open Society." "Open Borders" advocates the end of the nation state. It is the globalist view that the nation state is dead. The utopian theory is that without nation states we can eliminate wars. But where does that leave us? Without land borders, with all of the natural resources ascribed to those, we have a global free-for-all on those resources. Instead of the reasonable and prudent trade of such resources, we have global claims on all resources. This leaves global corporations in control of resources, instead of the geo-political boundaries of nation states. Now who would benefit from that??? Could it be that George Soros is profiting from global corporations? Just one example of thousands
Finally, philosophically, economically, politically, and culturally, George Soros is cleverly trying to put a square peg into a round hole. He is somehow successful in his derangement. Money talks. People listen to him because of his financial holdings. His basis for philanthropy is to rip apart the natural alliances between free peoples. His money bought the Presidency of the United States of America, putting Barack Obama in the starring role in the puppet theater. Since 2008 we have seen what Soros has wrought through Obama.
Now that we know this, what is the path out of the Soros fire swamp? ( cite: the Princess Bride) Wesley, where are you??

WHO SOLD THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT TO GEORGE SOROS?
Who? What? Where? When? and Why? Oh..nothing to see here. Move along. I've had many posts since 2008 on the Soros connections to Barack Obama and the Clintons. But we are way past that now...from speculations to culminations. Soros is king of the world...or playing God, as he likes to say. He will get what he wants or he will destroy anyone who gets in his way...usually both.
I'm just a one person alarm bell, so how many people can I reach with this message? Persons here and there have been ringing the alarm bells all over the place, but it evidently doesn't matter. Soros bought the media, bought the Democrat operandi, bought the Presidency and the Secretary of State, is buying up the electoral process with his machine going after secretaries of states to affect elections throughout the land, and is smugly going about his destructive life getting richer and richer which just allows him to purchase more and more of America. George Soros is one happy guy.
While Americans were being disenfranchised from the 2008 election, and while Americans were duped by nearly all of the mainstream media, George Soros was on his mission.
The article below references Barack Obama's decision to prop up New Guinea's oil industry while at the same time derailing American energy independence. American energy starvation is the Obama plan on the table, but watch the hand behind his back. Who owns Interoil, the New Guinea oil company? A major holder of Interoil is George Soros. This is nearly the same situation that occurred last year with Brazilian oil company named Petrobas. The Obama administration lent Brazil millions to prop up the Brazilian oil company, Petrobas. Soros owned large stock holdings and the next thing you know, Obama tells Brazil we want to become their best customer. At the same time, Obama has shut down the Gulf coast oil industry and refused to process oil exploration and drilling permits to American companies. So to hear Obama talk about energy independence based on solar and wind is a joke, when what he actually means is: Let's make everyone else rich with American taxpayer money, which in turn makes George Soros rich, and Americans can go eat dirt.
American Taxpayer Propping Up Soros Investment in New Guinea Oil Company Ed Lasky's Original Article
The next article explains how George Soros is orchestrating the American operation in Libya.
"By Aaron Klein
"Philanthropist billionaire George Soros is a primary funder and key proponent of the global organization that promotes the military doctrine used by the Obama administration to justify the recent airstrikes targeting the regime of Moammar Gadhafi in Libya.
The activist who founded and coined the name of the doctrine, "Responsibility to Protect," sits on several key organizations alongside Soros.
Also, the Soros-funded global group that promotes Responsibility to Protect is closely tied to Samantha Power, the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights.
Power has been a champion of the doctrine and is, herself, deeply tied to the doctrine's founder.
According to reports, Power was instrumental in convincing Obama to act against Libya.
The Responsibility to Protect doctrine has been described by its founders and proponents, including Soros, as promoting global governance while allowing the international community to penetrate a nation state's borders under certain conditions."

Soros is all over the Libyan operation
So, folks, did George Soros buy the Presidency and the keys to our tax dollars? And were Americans completely hornswoggled into voting our country into one of the biggest coups ever attemped in history? You decide.
Trust me, these is not the only evil issues going on with Barack Obama. But they are treasonous and I could only hope he would one day be prosecuted with the full force of the U.S. Constitution on that charge.

A MESSAGE FOR OBAMA VOTERS
I hate to sound like a one note samba, but everywhere I look at Obama's policies, there stands a network of Communists / Socialists / Progressives who have not just infiltrated our government and culture, but that they are funded by Soros and other Communist activists, all of whom hate America. My research leads every time to an elite group of very wealthy manipulators who are taking America down. For those who think they are remnants of the 1960's protest groups or the do-gooders who like to sing Kumbayah (better yet, Lennon's "Imagine"), I want you to know what has taken over our country is not some kindly, sweet, collectivist, utopian, group of Nuns. If you voted for Obama you need to know just how dangerous and thuggish he and his cronies are. If you know that already and still voted for this....you don't deserve to live here. If you love Communism so much then why don't you get yourself, your family, and your buddies on the next plane to Bejing and stay the hell out of America. If you love Mao, Stalin, Castro, and Che so much then march yourself down to Venezuela and spend some time with Hugo Chavez. If you want to ruin your own life, go right ahead.....but stop wrecking our America. It isn't yours to wreck..... it belongs to patriots who believe in the U.S. Constitution.
That said, here is a page: Commie Blaster.com I found today that could clue you in on who is pulling the strings. The monster is huge and you are feeding the beast. If you have lost your job, or lost your investments, or are watching your freedoms disappear...and you voted for this regime, you deserve what you get. The rest of us don't deserve it and resent the hell out of you.

How Many Czars Does It Take to Run A Communist Country?
At least one man has stepped up. Glenn Beck has literally put his career and his safety on the line to stand up to this onslaught of enemies from within. And Fox News has had the courage to air Beck's show so that America can at least see some amount of truth. Beck is not the only one out there. But mostly the other muckrakers are on the internet blogs. Oddly enough, the Canadia Free Press has more legitimate information on America than a lot of American news organizations over the past several years.
From the Canada Free Press site is just one of the enlightening articles on Obama and his czars, written by Bill Turner on September 5th comes this bolt of truth on one Czar, Cass Sunstein:
"Cass Sunstein, Information and Regulatory Czar, has also assumed the duties of Body Desecration and Organ Harvesting Czar. Cass has advocated a policy under which the government would “presume” someone has consented to having his or her organs removed for transplantation into someone else when they die unless that person has explicitly indicated that his or her organs should not be taken. Right now, as an American citizen I have to give permission, usually on my drivers license to be an organ donor.
In Sunstein’s America, my organs belong to the state, unless I lay claim to them before hand, presumably by having “Do Not Open” tattooed on my chest in big red letters."
Seriously....this is par for the course with Obama's czars. Ezekiel Emanuel is just as bad. Tom Daschle, the tax cheat who gets to do his dirty work from the shadows now, is just as bad. Carol Browner, whose identity connection to Socialists International was "scrubbed" so you wouldn't know, is just as bad. These few are just the tip of the iceberg. The White House is crawling with them.
GO HERE FOR ANOTHER GREAT ARTICLE ON OBAMA'S HEALTH NIGHTMARE CARE
So folks, those of you who voted for this Marxist Turkey.....how is that "hope" thing working out for you? Frankly, Obama's got the "change" thing down pat. But I "hope" this is not the "change" you actually thought you were voting into our country.
