Video: CNN Attempt To Portray Patriots As Terrorists Backfires, Segment Fails To Air [03/31/10]
3 Video clips "A CNN Anderson Cooper segment which was set to demonize critics of big government and Obamacare as violent extremists backfired after radio host Alex Jones pointed out that corporate media outlets like CNN were responsible for killing over a million Iraqis as a consequence of their repeated lies about weapons of mass destruction. Jones was invited for an interview on Friday to appear later that evening on Anderson Cooper 360, but the segment never aired, presumably because CNN program chiefs were so embarrassed at Jones’ proficiency in exposing how corporate news networks owned by the military- industrial complex were a far deadlier threat than any of the menagerie of domestic “extremists” CNN has sought to demonize in recent weeks. Jones immediately recognized the tone of the hit piece when the interviewer began a barrage of questions attempting to discredit grassroots political movements by smearing them as dangerous radicals. Watch the interview below, which was filmed by one of Jones’ crew. CNN’s questions are not audible because they refused to allow Jones’ cameraman access to the feed ..... Asked if he was instigating some of the threats of violence seen in recent weeks in response to the passage of Obamacare, Jones stated, “Let’s be clear, I’m not like CNN and Fox promoting imaginary made up WMD’s in Iraq so that our military can go and kill a million innocent Iraqis, so no I don’t advocate for violence like the New York Times and CNN – I want to make that clear.” “I don’t advocate shock and awe like CNN did, OK? I don’t have the blood of a million dead people on my hands,” added Jones, “I didn’t kill a million Iraqis like those of you at CNN that pushed the lies – I’m not a murderer.” Jones also slammed CNN for hyping violence, knowing that talking about it 24/7 would only encourage mentally unstable people to commit more violence. He also dares to mention Anderson Cooper’s dirty little secret - the fact that he trained to be a CIA agent before pursuing a career in network news ......"

good can come of a church that has as its' slogan, 'Leave no child's behind.' And then they went and chose as pope the man who was personally responsible, in his dioceses, and institutionally responsible for the cover-up. So now, there's no escape." The child rape scandals that have savaged Catholic ranks for years starting in the United States, then flaring up in Ireland, Germany, Italy and other locations around the world, have finally come to implicate Pope Benedict XVI, according to recent reports. At time of this writing, the most recent scandal flare-up involved a school for the deaf in Wisconsin, where up to 200 boys were molested by a man whom Hitchens said "was allowed to walk free and was buried with full honors as a priest." Even with his role in covering-up child molestations at his former dioceses in Munich, Pope Benedict offered an apology for the sexual abuse so rampant in the church, but did not call for any law enforcement action. ... Hitchens called the pope's apology a request for "wiggle room" on the "rape and torture of children." "It's funny because in this society... Even in prisons, there is a hierarchy of crimes," said Maher. "The child molesters are the ones who even hardened criminals shun, or actually kill." "This is the one crime no one can think about without vomiting, that the once great, moral church wants wiggle room for," Hitchens summarized. "This present pope is the head of a state, a political state, as well as the church. So, it's not just that the spiritual leader of a big cult is a proven protector of child molesters, but the head of a government is, with- has an embassy in Washington. Well, can he land here from now on? Shouldn't Congress become seized with the matter? Shouldn't the European Union be asking, 'Can this guy travel freely?' Isn't he wanted for the foulest crime of all? These are questions that, I promise you, are going to continue being asked.""
partisans of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, collected 300 litres of blood, which they spilled at the front gate of current Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva’ residence. Thakson Shinawatra became a very rich telecommunications tycoon, building a business empire as leading South East Asian manager in the cell phone, satellite television and low-cost air travel sectors. During his five-year tenure, this business man quadrupled his personal fortune while evading taxes. He cracked down on the muslim minority, having at least 2000 people killed. He declared a ruthless war on drugs, lasting three months, that claimed more than 2500 lives and facilitated the consolidation of the networks. Suspected of planning to instate a republic, he was toppled in 2006 by the army during his trip to New York to attend the U.N. General Assembly. He was sentenced in absentia to a 2-year prison term for embezzlement of public funds. Last week, the Supreme Court confirmed the decision to confiscate 1,4 billion dollars out of the frozen 2,2 billion belonging to the Shinawatra family estate. After living in Cambodia (where he was economic adviser to the Government) and in the United Kingdom (where he bought the Manchester City Football Club), Thaksin Shinawatra settled down in the United Arab Emirates. Lately, he was haranguing his supporters to demand the annulment of the Court decision, the resignation of the government and the holding of general elections. However, having used Dubai to destabilize Thailand, he was expelled from the Emirates for contravening his status of political refugee. He has recently arrived in Montenegro, where he was granted citizenship by Prime Minister Milo Đukanović. While he was at it, Shinawatra invested in the hotel industry in Podgorica. Montenegro is a sort European Union protectorate. While not a member, it has adopted the euro as its currency. Milo Đukanović has been accused by the Italian judicial authorities of being one of the Camorra chiefs and of controlling illegal cigarette traffic in Europe. He could not be arrested in view of his diplomatic immunity. ..."
“I just think it’s unseemly for police departments to be selling guns that later turn up,” he said, recalling that he had once been offered the chance to sell guns to raise money for the police budget. “Obviously, we always need the money but I just said, ‘No, we will take the loss and get rid of the guns’,” said the former police chief, who now works for Andrews International, a security consulting firm. ..."
VIDEO [4:05] "At long last, the rights to Jimi Hendrix’s music have been settled, and tomorrow we’re getting our first blast of never-before-heard psychedelic rock with Valleys of Neptune. Does it satisfy? The critics weigh in: ... * Most posthumous Hendrix releases have been “exploitive scraps,” writes Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune. “But Valleys of Neptune is legit—not quite a lost album, but darn near close.” This is a raw, “you-are-there document” of the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s volatile final days. * The title track is a “revelation,” writes Chris Richards of the Washington Post. You’d almost think Hendrix was playing from the great beyond. “You can hear the music happening—a distinct, 21st-century pleasure that feels both quaint and mysterious.” * But Tom Sinclair of EW disagrees. If you’re expecting new musical frontiers “keep dreaming,” he writes. “Most of these tunes are glaringly familiar.” * In fact, a quick YouTube check reveals that diehard fans have already found these songs, notes Ann Powers of the LA Times. But Hendrix’s “guitar playing is an inexhaustible thrill, even when he's just messing around.”"
So if the Supreme Court rules Chicago's handgun ban unconstitutional -- which many observers say is likely, given the court's conservative leanings in recent years -- it would likely be on the grounds that the law "abridged the privileges or immunities" of a US citizen. The result, Davis argues at Yahoo News, could be a slew of challenges to state laws -- any state law that a challenger believes "abridges" his or her "privileges or immunities." The potential implications of this case are huge – and not just for gun rights. If the privileges-or-immunities argument prevails, it would bring back a constitutional argument that has been effectively dead since 1873, when a decision (known as the Slaughter-House cases) said that the clause only protects rights of national citizenship. But if the court reinterprets this clause, the wording is so broad that some think it could bring a flood of challenges to numerous other laws. Others fear a privileges-or-immunities revival will lead to too much judicial subjectivity. Davis notes that, if the court does rule to strike down Chicago's handgun ban, "it will almost certainly have to contradict its rulings in earlier cases ..."
