"Bernie Madoff has nothing on the government union scam".... one more great reason Americans should exercise their Constitutional and natural right not to sign up for voluntarily involuntary servitude!

That story came from the venerable Bob Livingston website. This does too:

Congress: Your First Amendment Rights Annoy Us
Do you notice how the politicians, the real one percent, hate the First Amendment? Now they demand that we the people be prohibited by law from picketing a site on which a federal agent is present, even if we're unaware of it.... with stiff penalties as if for a serious crime. As you know "free speech zones" are now un-Constitutionally set up blocks from addresses where presidents or other poo-bahs are speaking -- undoubtedly a halfway measure toward banning protest entirely.
You've heard me refer to the government-media complex, and perhaps it's raised a chuckle of irony... but it's a concrete reality. Here's how the media end of it completes the pincer movement -- by ruining what coverage they give worthwhile subjects (when they're not deep-sixing them altogether):

Ron Paul's Media Technical Issues - Operation Mockingbird?
Please don't miss the very very end -- the explanation for the very beginning of the clip, that footage so grainy it gives people bushy black eyebrows. What's Operation Mockingbird, you ask? When that film of a Congressional hearing was shot, one would have had to hunt up a "conspiracy THEORY" person and ask them. But today, you only need to consult Wikipedia for such useful rich dirt -- a resource built to defend lies that also ends up exposing the liars very nicely!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird
"Operation Mockingbird was a secret Central Intelligence Agency campaign to influence media beginning in the 1950s" -- how about that for plain English and stark honesty in black-and-white? But how many people today are capable of caring that the CIA is and was subversive?
Hey, that's a pretty juicy article:
In 1948, Frank Wisner was appointed director of the Office of Special Projects (OSP). Soon afterwards OSP was renamed the Office of Policy Coordination (OPC). This became the covert action branch of the Central Intelligence Agency. Wisner was told to create an organization that concentrated on "propaganda, economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist elements in threatened countries of the free world."[3]
Later that year Wisner established Mockingbird, a program to influence foreign media. Wisner recruited Philip Graham from The Washington Post to run the project within the industry. According to Deborah Davis in Katharine the Great; "By the early 1950s, Wisner 'owned' respected members of The New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles."[4] Wisner referred to this apparatus as a "Mighty Wurlitzer", referencing the theater organ capable of controlling diverse pipes, instruments, and sound effects from a central console.[5]
In 1951, Allen W. Dulles persuaded Cord Meyer to join the CIA. However, there is evidence that he was recruited several years earlier and had been spying on the liberal internationalist organizations he had been a member of in the late 1940s.[6]
Wow, this is a major, major Wicked-epia page. Are you stunned that this government went after "liberal internationalist" organizations 60 years ago and supported foreign anti-communist movements? Today the same fedgov IS a liberal internationalist entity of gargantuan proportions and the mother or sponsor of innumerable others. Actually I seriously doubt the above claims as to Operation Mockingbird's thrust -- the same government had just fought a war alongside the most brutal communists to make the world safe for communism.
This Wiki article is in fact staggering. It early throws doubt on published history it quotes, but look what it admits:
In 1977, a People article by Alexander Butler alleged that one of the most important journalists under the control of Operation Mockingbird was Joseph Alsop, whose foreign affairs articles appeared in over 300 different newspapers. Other journalists alleged by People Magazine to have been willing to promote the views of the CIA included Stewart Alsop who headed the international bureau of New York Herald Tribune, Ben Bradlee foreign affairs correspondent for Newsweek, James Reston for the international section of the New York Times, Charles Douglas Jackson foreign photo-journalist for Time Magazine, and international correspondents such as Walter Pincus of the Washington Post, Charles Bartlett of the Chattanooga Times and William C. Baggs and Herb Gold of The Miami News.[9] According to Nina Burleigh (A Very Private Woman), these journalists sometimes wrote articles that were commissioned by Frank Wisner. The CIA also provided them with classified information to help them with their work.[10]
Congressional hearings in 1976 proved CIA had been paying off editors and reporters in most mainstream media outlets.
How about THIS Ron Paul coverage? When Ron addressed a crowd of 950 in Greenville four years ago the daily fishwrap there said not one word about it! Warning -- pounding, jarring music track:

Ron Paul - Vancouver Washington - Supporters overflowing - 2/16/2012
We need to be the media. Find some way to help, even if it's "only" writing one letter to the editor of an "embedded" periodical per week. At PN meetings I expound the remarkable power of such "small" First Amendment outings.
