Trump Never Said He Would Implement A Database To Register All American Muslims

 

Isn’t it interesting that the very same people and ideology that DEMAND a database on all American gun owners (so we can be safe) are going berserk over a false media-created suggestion attributed to Trump that there should be a database of Muslims in America?

Then Ruling Class never stops in it’s war on Americans it considers plebes and rubes who they want to subjugate under their power and authority to fleece.

A bogus false attribution that the media went blitzkrieg with this morning was that Donald Trump stated that he would ‘certainly implement’ national database for U.S. Muslims.  The fact is, a storm trooping media twerp framed the suggestion in the middle of a query about border security and ran with the false narrative about ‘registration’.

From the exchange:

Reporter: Should there be a database system that tracks the Muslims here in this country?

Trump: There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems. And today you can do it. But right now, we have to have a border, we have to have strength, we have to have a wall, and we cannot let what’s happening to this country happen any longer.

Reporter: But that’s something your White House would like to implement?

Trump: Oh, I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.

Reporter: What do you think the effect of that would be? How would that work?

Trump: It would stop people from coming in illegally. We have to stop people from coming into our country illegally.

Reporter: Specifically, how do you actually get them registered in a database?

Trump: It would be good management, what you have to do is good management procedures and we can do that.

Reporter: Do you go to mosques and sign these people up?

Trump: Different places. You sign them up at difference places. But it’s all about management, our country has no management.

No, Donald Trump Doesn’t Want to Register All American Muslims. It’s Just Another Media Smear.

As Joel Pollak writes at Breitbart News, the idea of a Muslim database originated not with Trump but with a reporter for Yahoo! Trump declined to answer the question, probably because he didn’t understand it or its implications. So he gave his go-to “I don’t get it” answer: “We’re going to have to – we’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely. We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.”

CNN quickly jumped on the story. Sara Murray asked Trump about a national Muslim database – to which Trump answered that he had no idea “where you heard that…I never responded to that question.” When pressed, Trump insisted, correctly, “I never responded to that question.” He declined to answer the question again – again, because Trump never rules things out when he doesn’t understand the proposal at hand. He stalls.

That didn’t stop the headlines. Next, NBC decided to ask about the Muslim database that originated in the head of a Yahoo! News reporter. “Should there be a database system that tracks the Muslims here in this country?” Trump answered, “There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems. And today you can do it. But right now, we have to have a border, we have to have strength, we have to have a wall, and we cannot let what’s happening to this country happen any longer.”

It’s clear from this exchange that Trump believes the NBC reporter, Vaughn Hillyard, is asking about new Muslim immigrants, not all Muslims currently in the United States – which is totally plausible, given the wording of the questions. After all, Trump has been discussing Muslim refugees, which is the national conversation, not all Muslims; the reporter then asks about “the Muslims here in this country,” to which Trump says that he’d register new Muslim immigrants coming into the country: “It would stop people from coming in illegally. We have to stop people from coming into our country illegally.”

…The media has jumped on all of this to suggest that Trump not only favors a Muslim database, but originated the idea. Sam Stein, the smear artist reporter for The Huffington Post, tweeted about “Trump’s Muslim database idea.” Time reported, “Donald Trump Is In Favor Of Legally Requiring American Muslims to Register on a Database.” MSNBC reported, “Trump crosses new line, endorses database for American Muslims.”

It’s clear from the conversations that Trump doesn’t know he’s being asked by NBC about registering all American Muslims rather than merely Muslim immigrants. That’s not an excuse for his bloviation and lack of clarity. But it does show the hypocrisy, once again, of a leftist media that refuses to treat Democrats by the same standard. For example, when Hillary Clinton was asked at a New Hampshire town hall meeting about Australia’s mass gun confiscation, she gave a Trumpian answer: she said it was “worth looking at.” Unlike Trump, however, she understood the question, as was clear from her full response. There were no headlines in major media about Hillary endorsing wholesale gun confiscation.

All that being said – and proven to be just another attempt by the Propaganda Tools for the Ruling Class, let’s assume for a second that Trump DID suggest a national database to register all Muslims.

Why are the Leftists all-of-a-sudden so upset over the concept of national registration and federal databases?  Consider that these same media morons are all-in and trumpet the need for such ‘databases’ when it comes to registering gun owners, or churches who do not accept homosexual marriage, and often when they demand such ‘registration’ – they cite the necessity to ‘keep the people safe’.

Didn’t Cheerleader Maxine Waters trumpet with much fanfare Obama’s creation of a national “database [which] will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it’s never been done before”?

Why yes,  Yes she did:

 

 

I don’t recall the media Leftists screaming about that.

I also don’t recall the media going berserk over the national database Obama has created under ObamaCare.

It’s just another in what promises to be an endless string of attempts by the kingmaker media-arm of the Ruling Class to anoint our nominee so as to ensure Hillary is crowned without any question to her ‘winning’ the election.

THEY LIED! CNN Edited Video to Claim Donald Trump Said to Register All Muslims

 

 

 

 

 

Lesson Of Blizzard 2015: Americans Are Become A Nation Of Helpless Wimps

Old America, the land of the free and the brave is gone.  In a media-fed Panic, Cities shut down, transportation is closed, and America shows the world we are affrighted souls that will cower before a Winter snow.

Once upon a time in a faraway place called Chicagoland, there were two seasons of the year that were always inevitable.  Everyone knew they would come, and everyone knew they had to deal with them.

They were the dreaded seasons of Winter and Road Construction.

To date, these are two seasons that even the nonsensical hype of global warming and “climate change” cannot affect.  In fact, I have discovered that in most urban and big city areas, these two seasons are like peanut butter and jelly.  One will follow right after the other.  Once upon a time in America, you shrugged your shoulders, perhaps you cursed, you rolled up your sleeves or windows and you slogged through both of those miserable seasons until you got to where you were going.  Get there you would, no matter what it took, and no amount of complaining and whining would make any difference.  You just dealt with it.

In the old days, school rarely, if ever, closed for the weather – and most folks braved elements that today’s wimpish people would not dare contemplate themselves enduring.

I remember vividly, the Blizzard of ’79 in Chicago.  The two full days of wet snow dumping without ceasing, followed by a bone-chilling wind that would rip right through you.  School was canceled only after about 8 inches fell, and I recall fondly the memories of digging out cars, shoveling off our roof (because the weight of the snow had been collapsing roofs in some suburban shopping centers) building the world’s largest snow forts and having days on end of Winter fun sledding off our roof and pummeling passers-by with snowballs.

Our parents and elders did as they always have done; curse the weatherman for a faulty forecast and trudge on out to shovel some more and help dig our neighbors.  We would clear the streets before the plows walled-off homeowners  in mountains of wet snow and slush that required immediate shoveling, or it would freeze at the end of your driveway into an impenetrable wall that one could not breach until perhaps late April.  We made great money that Winter shoveling out neighborhoods and helping to excavate cars from snowdrift prisons.  Blizzards and storms were not some kind of apocalypse or ‘historic’  event back in Old America.

In Old America, we used to call modern-day ‘snowpocalypses’: Winter.  We called what the Northeast saw this week: Winter.   We expected it would be bitter cold and we expected at some point or many points depending on how Winter rolled, we would have mountains of snow that would stay on the ground for months and over-time, plowed mountains of snow would turn soot-black and hang around parking lot light poles until mid-June.  Those who loved the snow as we did,  prayed and jumped with glee for forecasts of a foot or more of the white stuff, and even when rent could not be made unless every day was worked.  A snow day was a welcome break in the bleak days of Winter.

I remember in 1979 that despite being buried in snow and drifts over 3 feet, life went on, and pretty quickly.  Schools were opened as soon as the main roads were cleared.  People went to work.  I recall reading complaints from those in the city limits where the response to clearing the streets was slow.  In fact, I think it was common knowledge that due to secondary streets being unplowed for a month, stalled L-trains and busses and trash piling up – that the mayor lost his reelection bid to a Jane Byrne. The politics of that Winter outlasted the snow in terms of memory for many Chicagoans.

We never needed to turn to the media or the government to tell us what to do to “prepare” for a winter storm.  Perhaps in the event of Nuclear fallout from a Russian ICBM we might incline our ears to hear what we should do in the event Chicago got glassed by the Russkies – but not for flakes falling from the sky.  We were not dependent on either the media or government to tell us what to do.  We just did as we each saw fit, and most often, it was the right things to do.

That was then, back in Old America  – back when America was a free country with a people that laughed at adversity and slugged themselves through difficulties, often without much complaining.  It was what you did, back in Old America.

But this is no longer the America we once grew up in.  In today’s America, the Praetorian Crisis-centered 24/7 media stokes a panic that today’s Nanny-State Government Politicians seize upon to impose quasi-martial-law and shut down entire cities if flakes are forecast to pile-up into more than a few inches.

So the blizzard of 2015 in the Northeast comes a-calling – not exactly Miami or Kingston Jamaica unfamiliar with the white stuff, and I offer the lunacy of this event as a text-book illustration of how wimped-out and afraid of our own long shadows of Winter Americans in Nanny-State Leftist controlled New America have become.

After a heavy bombardment of endless non-stop weather channel and media coverage panicking  people to prepare for the end of daze two days before the event, government officials like New York Communist Mayor Bill DeBlasio, hop on the ‘Armageddon-is-coming – prepare-to-shelter-in-place-now’ bandwagon.   Obama-hugging Chris Christie went on to declare a State of Emergency more than 24 hours BEFORE the snow started falling in earnest along with other mayors and government officials jumping in front of every camera they could find to ‘warn’ everyone of the impending ‘disaster’.

The hordes of megalopolis Northeasterners, like dutiful sheep freaked-out, and lined up in the elements as if waiting for tickets to a blockbuster, to invade stores like locusts to “prepare” for what was promised to be a ‘catastrophe’.  Food staples like beer, M&Ms, chips, pretzels and wine flew off shelves.  Carry-out establishments were mobbed with orders for citizens who have no knowledge of how to work a microwave oven.   Lonely souls who were told everything, including bars, bathhouses and x-rated clubs were shutting down, put out invites on Craigslist for sexual partners to share the time whilst Winter destroyed civilization around them.

 

Bread and milk became extinct. In the height of the stoked panic, the politicians issued defacto orders of Martial law – announcing the complete closures of all roads to anyone besides emergency personnel.  The NY Mayor, never allowing even a potential crisis to go to waste, urged New Yorkers to “Prepare for something worse than we have seen before”.   Really.  That is pretty stunning to suggest, considering anything worse than this:

…would undoubtably be a just-cause to panic and run around screaming that the world was indeed, coming to an end.

So, with the entire city closing, curfews being imposed and threats of fines for being outside after 11 PM, panicked residents crammed the highways and bottlenecked themselves into a parking lot as snow began falling.  So, as I watched in amusement from afar – noting that the media makes every single weather event a :”catastrophic crisis unparalleled in human history” to push the GlobalWarming/Climate Change narrative down all out throats, I mused to myself that never before in the history of the country, has an entire city been shut down in fear over a potential weather event that had yet to occur.

 

So Tuesday morning dawns on America’s largest and “most important city”, to a blanket of…. 6″ of snow that covered a ‘City that never sleeps – but will shut down the moment there are flakes in the forecast”.

The media asks “What went wrong with the forecast?”  as if it was not the panic and the hype that was overblown, misused and wrong – but the variables in the forecasting itself.  Urging Americans to become helpless wimps beholden to the media and government is not to be questioned, but the weather forecasters for getting it wrong.  Of course the agenda of Climate Change continues to be whipped about like a chain mace that it’s wielders promise to flog us with until everyone agrees for the remedy for regular Americans to go back living as if it were the 1600’s – minus coal and wood burning stoves.

I have to scream: “IT’S WINTER YOU IDIOTS!  IT SNOWS BIG SOMETIMES IN THE WINTER AND GETS COLD!”  Have we really become a nation of helpless wimps that need the media and government to turn every potential issue into a life-threatening crisis that demands we accept quasi-martial law?  Or are we being conditioned for the same?  Are we truly stupid enough to let ourselves be conditioned to accept such a fate?

This ridiculous event makes it a frightening prospect, that if ISIS and the Jihadist Caliphate wanted to conquer New York City – all they would have to do is forecast a blizzard or some weather event to shut down the city and impose martial law.

Americans have become afraid of their own shadows at the urging of the media and the government whom they have made into their god.  Or at minimum as this event illustrates, afraid of some snowflakes.

As for those of you who may be left, I will also bring weakness into your hearts in the lands of your enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee as though from the sword, and they will fall. They will therefore stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength to stand up before your enemies. ‘But you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you.… – Leviticus 26: 36-38

 

 

 

 

 

God’s Humor Displayed At The Folly Of Fools

Global Warming Fanatics Trapped In Antarctica Summer Sea Ice Release Statement Saying “Sea Ice Is Disappearing Due To Climate Change”

Laughter at the folly of fools.  The irony is delicious: a bunch of global warming religionists go on an Antarctic expedition to measure the “melting sea ice” and become trapped in record thick sea ice, while ice cutters from 3 nations fail to reach the stranded cruise ship because of thick ice they cannot cut through, snow and freezing conditions.

Still, in the midst of their own peril – the cult of Global Warming idiots will blame ‘climate change’ for their situation:

ICE-STRANDED EXPLORERS’ MESSAGE:

We’re stuck in our own experiment. We came to Antarctica to study how one of the biggest icebergs in the world has altered the system by trapping ice. We followed Sir Douglas Mawson’s footsteps into Commonwealth Bay, and are now ourselves trapped by ice surrounding our ship.

Sea ice is disappearing due to climate change, but here ice is building up.

The comments about this situation and the folly of the Global Warming/Climate Change hoax are hilarious in the comment section of this blog post.

Truly God in Heaven is laughing at the folly of this false religion of Al Gore’s Global Warming hoax – showing the world how silly, stupid and ridiculous their earth worship and efforts to regress the Industrial West are.

So Satan Made A Leftist

Parodies and revisions of the 2013 Superbowl Commercial with Paul Harvey’s Narration now abound the web.

Without question the most talked about and favorite commercial from this year’s Superbowl has been the Ram Truck “Farmer” spot:

A slice of Americana, and tugging on heart strings and the awe of respect for rugged individuals who feed us all, albeit in this age of of collectivism, are being overrun by reverence for government.  The truth Paul Harvey belted out in quick staccato form with those grit and gristle images, sparked the musings of several on the internet who thought this resonation deserved a sequel to highlight another group of people in our midst.

My only disagreement with these ‘remakes’ is in ascribing the making of such people with the Leftist ideology to God.   It is far more fitting that Satan the devil deserve the credit for making the attributes described in the following two efforts.  First, Daniel Greenfield’s piece will definitely leave a mark.

SO GOD MADE A DEMOCRAT

God looked down on Washington D.C. and said “I need someone who will steal morning, noon and night. Who will steal from the rich to give to the poor and steal from the poor to give to the rich and fool them all and keep all the loot.”

So God made a Democrat.

God said, “I need college man to come to a farm and tell the farmer that he can’t feed his hogs with lettuce from his own farm or use the manure from his pigs to grow his lettuce. I need an inspector who will tell him how much he can sell his milk for and warn him that his son riding on the tractor constitutes child labor. I need someone to pay a farmer not to farm so that poor people can’t afford bread.”

So God made a Democrat.

“I want a union organizer who hires non-union picketers to keep workers from working, a politician who fights for the people by taking money from billionaires and a clergyman who worships whoever runs on the party line. I want a banker who fights for the poor and gives to the party and a party that pays the poor man eight times to vote for the banker’s man.”

So God made a Democrat.

“I need someone to retire at 55 with generous benefits from a government job.  I need lawmakers who will pass laws without reading them. I need teachers who refuse to teach kids unless they’re paid twice as much as any worker in their city. I need people to sit on commissions and make rules about lines of work that they’ve never been in.”

So God made a Democrat

“I need a Catholic who’s for abortion. A Jew who’s for Palestine. A Mormon who’s against the Church. A Baptist who’s for evolution. A Methodist who doesn’t believe in god. And a Muslim who believes in destroying America.”

So God made a Democrat.

He said, “I need someone who starts all the wars and protests against all the wars. Who is first in line to sign up to fight against his country but comes out as a pacifist when it’s time to defend it. I want war heroes who throw their medals over fences and then gather them up again when it’s time to run for office. I want men who are for everything before they’re against it”

So God made a Democrat.

“I need a working class man who who has never worked a day in his life, but always talks about caring for those who do. I need a man who talks all the time about helping women, blacks, lesbians, Eskimos and Martians get ahead and then drops them like a dirty rag when he has what he wants. A man who gets up at 11:30 in the afternoon to help the less fortunate by passing laws that will make them even less fortunate. A man who takes nine tenths of what’s meant for the poor and lets them have the leftovers.”

So God made a Democrat.

“I need a man who believes in himself too much to take responsibility for anything he did. I need a man who is tolerantly intolerant, who is outraged all day by everything in the world except his own outrageous behavior. I need a man who is for freedom of speech except when he’s offended, for freedom of religion except when he disagrees with it and for the right to bear arms but only for those weapons that existed in 1791.”

So God made a Democrat.

God said, “I need a party of jackasses that will always break through the fence and spoil everything that the farmer grows. I need bad men to test good men and liars, cheats and thieves with clipboards to teach neighbors to stick together against them. I need a man with no more conscience than a rattlesnake leading a band of fools with less sense than sheep. And I need him to keep the farmers and ranchers, the workers and doers on their toes so they always remember that evil never rests and keeping it down can sometimes be the hardest work of all.”

So God made a Democrat.

Next up is Soopermexican’s “God Made A Liberal”

Again, while I applaud the efforts – I do think thatSatan has more to do with creating the Leftist ideology than ascribing it to God since the Democrats/Liberals/Leftists reject God and His Commandments for the tyranny of men and the celebration of sin.

But satire and parody may be the only tools left in the Conservative toolbox to reach the mind-numbed with the truth.  So kudos to Mr. Greenfield and Soopermexican.

The Joker Goes Viral

The Joker is showing up all over.

Of course considering how much prime time air time the Joker has demanded of television, one has to wonder why he would be so upset that he’s showing up on phone poles, underpasses and everywhere people look.

Well, I do have to admit the source photo is not that flattering.

So let’s look at a better and more official ‘portrait’ shall we?

The Death of Liberty In America

By INVAR

Liberty in America – 1776 – 2009.    After battling an illness of Liberal Socialism for decades, Liberty finally succumbed to her fate after an apathetic and ignorant People ignored the cancer of Liberal Socialism and the disease progressed into a fatal case of Marxism that the public assumed was hope and change.

Liberty, enshrined on July 4, 1776 – gave birth to a nation of prosperity and blessings never before  seen in the history of mankind.  Generations of Americans that came forth and basked under her sunlight of freedom, were empowered to create the engine of innovation, that led to unprecedented technology, health and standard of living that was the envy of the entire world.  The land flowed with milk and honey, and justice and wealth followed in the days of her maturity.

But like the great trees that withstand the wind and the elements, she rotted from within – and took in ideas and principles that were anathema to her existence and well-being.  Elite Socialist minds and the self-appointed intellectuals taught the people to loathe the fruits and foundations of Liberty, and they rejected the principles upon which sustained her.    She was poisoned by the malicious and devious brokers of power that sold her people the shackles of slavery that were presented under the auspices of good intentions.  The people were led to hate her and demanded that she be remade into an image of men.

The people traded their reliance upon God, to a demand for government.   The People abandoned individual liberty in favor of collectivism.  The faithful rewrote their commission to preach the Gospel for a gospel of earth worship,  and instead of feeding and ministering to the poor themselves – they empowered the government to do their charity and absolve themselves of responsibility.

They betrayed God for an aberrant morality and in the process, betrayed Liberty to the vices of the tyranny of men that always seek to bind and restrain her.  The People traded wisdom for nonsense and became fools.   They are led willingly like sheep to the slaughter and to the path of destruction that has befallen all Republics before ours.

Liberty lost her countenance from a broken heart, and succumbed to the vile poison of Statists and the indifferent apathy of a people that demanded security and provision above all else and saw no value in trusting their neighbors with her.

Liberty died restrained to her bed, with only a handful of angry and determined patriots with tears and resolve to fight on in her memory.

Visitation is ongoing.

Burial is set for the moment Obama and the Politburo cram National Socialist Healthcare upon the people.

Don’t Let Mexi-Flu Ruin Your Cinco de Mayo!

Borders?

We don’t need no stinkin’ borders!

I mean, there’s a pandemic on the loose that was called the Swine Flu, which turned out to be erroneous and offensive to swine, so they renamed it after the country of origin, which set off the PC alarm-bells to forbid calling the pandemic the “Mexican Flu” – but since neither swine or Obama are able to be used in the same sentence without DHS alerting their stormtroopers that an Extremist is afoot in the blogoshere, I’ll just keep it simple and call it the Mexi-Flu.  And seeing it is indeed a Mexi flu, while Europe and other nations with common sense seal their borders from Mexican flights – we idiots in America are keeping them wide open.

Mexico travelers planning to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the US

The majority of confirmed swine flu deaths are in Mexico City.  While many Americans may be postponing trips south of the border, more visitors from Mexico are expected in the U.S. this weekend.

Officials say the outbound flights from the Mexico City airport are practically full. That’s because there’s a long holiday weekend approaching: Cinco de Mayo.  It’s a time of year when many families visit the U.S. and that’s a concern since the first confirmed U.S. swine flu death was a baby from Mexico City.

But obviously not a big enough concern for the idiots in our government who won’t even take Europe’s common-sense precautions into consideration – because the U.S. government HAS NO common sense.  Only political opportunism.

But for those worried about Mexi-Flu ruining Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the United States by Mexican nationals, fret not – for the borders are wide open as are our immune systems to once again suffer yet another plague giftwrapped by our South of the Border Invaders.

Do NOT Let Swine Flu Ruin Your Cinco de Mayo!

By John Lillpop

May 5th enjoys a special place in the hearts of Mexican illegal aliens in America. From taking over the streets of major cities to demand “rights” to which they are not entitled, to unruly brawls, Cinco de Mayo captures the true spirit of Mexico and the invading Mexican.

However, this May 5th brings with it news of a major health issue that might put a damper on the party mood of even the most thirsty and dedicated invader.

Indeed, the swine flu crisis may cause more than a few illegal aliens to think twice before gathering in huge crowds to protest the rule of law, the inconvenience caused by that pesky U.S. border, and other racist measures that get it the way of the Reconquesta objective.

Thinking twice is not all that common among illegal aliens, which is why they are so well suited as potential Democrats, and is why this Cinco de Mayo may be a golden moment in the braceros of East Los Angeles and other U.S. soil occupied by foreigners.

From the perspective of this American patriot, I say, “Let the show go on as usual!”

Let millions of illegal aliens take over the street of Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, and New York City.

Let them march with their Mexican flags while screaming “Amnesty Now!”

Let them carry their “Yes, we can!” banners in Spanish as they wind through the street of San Francisco and other Sanctuary Cities run by dim wit liberals more concerned about trolling for Hispanic votes than doing what is right for America.

Let them hold a Cinco de Mayo parade with Janet Napolitano perched appropriately on the lead float to keep an eye out for vets, tax protesters, “right wing extremists” and other dangerous Americans.

Oh, and by the way, while these third-world renegades are gathered so conveniently, why not send in the INS and a battalion of medical doctors to test for the swine flu?

Why not “stimulate” the U.S. economy by hiring unemployed American citizens to load infected aliens into buses, cabs, cars, and other means of transport, and to drive said vehicles back to the Mexican border, where they will be unloaded to the care and attention of Felipe Calderon?

That would be a grand way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo Day while working to stimulate the economy and protect the health of American citizens!

And who knows, by May 5th President Obama may have stopped bad-mouthing America long enough to appoint a Surgeon General. One who pays his or her taxes and is capable of understanding the swine flu!

Happy 5th of May!

Democrats Now Move to Regulate Internet Along with Silencing Talk Radio

 

DOCTRINE TO SILENCE “UNBALANCED RADIO AND WEB SITES”

Stimulus Bill “Gives Authority” of nation’s broadcast and information ‘infrastructure’ to government.

 

American Spectator February 16, 2009

 
Senior FCC staff working for acting Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps held meetings last week with policy and legislative advisers to House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman to discuss ways the committee can create openings for the FCC to put in place a form of the “Fairness Doctrine” without actually calling it such. 

Waxman is also interested, say sources, in looking at how the Internet is being used for content and free speech purposes. “It’s all about diversity in media,” says a House Energy staffer, familiar with the meetings. 

“Does one radio station or one station group control four of the five most powerful outlets in one community? Do four stations in one region carry Rush Limbaugh, and nothing else during the same time slot? Does one heavily trafficked Internet site present one side of an issue and not link to sites that present alternative views? These are some of the questions the chairman is thinking about right now, and we are going to have an FCC that will finally have the people in place to answer them.” 

Copps will remain acting chairman of the FCC until President Obama’s nominee, Julius Genachowski, is confirmed, and Copps has been told by the White House not create “problems” for the incoming chairman by committing to issues or policy development before the Obama pick arrives. 

But Copps has been a supporter of putting in place policies that would allow the federal government to have greater oversight over the content that TV and radio stations broadcast to the public, and both the FCC and Waxman are looking to licensing and renewal of licensing as a means of enforcing “Fairness Doctrine” type policies without actually using the hot-button term “Fairness Doctrine.” 

One idea Waxman’s committee staff is looking at is a congressionally mandated policy that would require all TV and radio stations to have in place “advisory boards” that would act as watchdogs to ensure “community needs and opinions” are given fair treatment. Reports from those advisory boards would be used for license renewals and summaries would be reviewed at least annually by FCC staff. 

Waxman and the FCC staff are also said to be looking at ways to ease the “consumer complaint” process, which could also be used along with the advisory boards. 

The House Energy and Commerce Committee is also looking at how it can put in place policies that would allow it greater oversight of the Internet. 

“Internet radio is becoming a big deal, and we’re seeing that some web sites are able to control traffic and information, while other sites that may be of interest or use to citizens get limited traffic because of the way the people search and look for information,” says on committee staffer. “We’re at very early stages on this, but the chairman has made it clear that oversight of the Internet is one of his top priorities.” 

“This isn’t just about Limbaugh or a local radio host most of us haven’t heard about,” says Democrat committee member. “The FCC and state and local governments also have oversight over the Internet lines and the cable and telecom companies that operate them. We want to get alternative views on radio and TV, but we also want to makes sure those alternative views are read, heard and seen online, which is becoming increasingly video and audio driven. Thanks to the stimulus package, we’ve established that broadband networks — the Internet — are critical, national infrastructure.

Of course what that means folks, is that because they shoved money in the Marxist Stimulus bill to give greater oversight of internet, radio and cable lines – which means they think the government NOW OWNS them.

In essense, the government has nationalized all information, and are going to decide for us, what we are allowed to hear, read and see.

”

We think that gives us an opening to look at what runs over that critical infrastructure.” 

Also involved in “brainstorming” on “Fairness Doctrine and online monitoring has been the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, which has published studies pressing for the Fairness Doctrine, as well as the radical MoveOn.org, which has been speaking to committee staff about policies that would allow them to use their five to six million person database to mobilize complaints against radio, TV or online entities they perceive to be limiting free speech or limiting opinion.

Tyranny is coming fast and furious folks.

By the time a majority wake up, it’s going to be too late to do anything about it.
