- I don't love New York! I used to, but then I discovered
the rotten politicians who have infested all levels of that state's government,
especially in the City of New York. I was born and raised in the city,
specifically Flushing. Unless you can read, speak and look Chinese or
Korean, you cannot buy anything in the stores because you are unfamiliar
with the language - no "melting pot" this! Sadly, New Jersey
is rapidly overtaking my former
state as regards corruption.
-
- Photos and articles available on the Internet show many
sections of my home town in progressing stages of urban decay. The town's
once showcase theater, where my high school graduation was held, the RKO
Keith's on Northern Boulevard at Main Street, was manipulated into destruction
and disrepair by a real estate speculator. It was a mini-palace, but brought
to ruin. The City government indicted the owner for desecrating a historic
landmark and he was subsequently sentenced to prison.
-
- But the takeover of a neighborhood, a town, or a city
by what could seemingly be described as a "foreign element,"
doesn't even approximate the bribing of an entire nation's government by
elements and entities of another foreign nation. The state of Israel has
"lobbied" [read bribed] the majority in the United States Senate
and our so-called representatives in the House. The American Israeli Public
Affairs Committee, AIPAC, the powerfully rich Israeli "lobby,"
not only showers our government leaders with lots of cash to buy their
will power, but then spies
on US to boot and manipulates our corrupt politicians to ignore Israeli
false flag operations which kill
our military service personnel.
-
- Ample opportunities have presented themselves recently
that could have been exploited in such a way that could usher in the fresh
air of competitive journalism; yet, in the manner of corruptible American
government and its money-grabbing politicians, the American media has just
proven itself every bit as depraved and corrupt as the government it is
supposed to be watching.
-
- Undoubtedly, the real headline of the day is the despicable,
un-American "journalistic" practices of The New York Times.
Without a press, the American people will never experience the outrage
that Congressman John Conyers so desperately needs to set the wheels in
motion to bring the criminal Bush administration down. As professor Jonathan
Turley has pointed out, all that needs to be done to impeach is to prove
the president lied; and now that proof has glaringly presented itself.
Yet the Times continues to refuse to report it. They are sitting on a
ticking time bomb, and it WILL go off, whether they report it or not.
All it takes is another Matt Drudge, himself not reporting it due to his
partisan leanings.
-
- Has the Times already forgotten the Internet's resurrection
of the Walter Duranty fiasco of 1932, where that shill for Soviet Dictator
Joseph Stalin's starvation massacre of millions of Ukrainians was denied
and then covered up by fraudulent, favorable press fictionalized by Mr.
Duranty? Has the Times apologized for the fraud, and returned Duranty's
Pulitzer Prize to Columbia?
-
- Has the Times already forgotten the Jayson Blair fictionalization
of "All the News That's Fit to Print?" Haven't they learned
that the Internet has arrived? Don't they understand that with the advent
of electronic journalism, he who has the printing press and the most ink
no longer wins? Don't they realize that the collective memory of Mr. and
Mrs. BoobUS AmericanUS can no longer be manipulated? No? Then let me demonstrate
the fallaciousness of this comfort zone in managing public opinion via
the spike to promote ignorance, and the hype to accentuate the insignificant.
-
- When Bush-leaning "reporter" Michelle
Malkin reported the way 9-11 tax-free bonds were applied for under
the guise of 9-11 real estate construction aid, only a non-savvy bonehead
would have ascribed the article other than just a partisan snipe leveled
at the "liberal" media. But could this have been a quid pro
quo? Hmmmmm!
-
- And if one desires to compare New York to New Jersey,
the latter in the judgment of this writer as being the most corrupt, then
let's compare newspapers. The Times has a circulation of about 1.5 million
readers, last time I checked. The Star-Ledger, New Jersey's largest newspaper,
weighs in with a circulation of around 400,000. Now I'll show you mine,
if the Times
will show me theirs. Such a deal!
-
- The Times still has some time! But lots of questions
will still be asked of the rapidly graying lady. What's that ticking sound?
