George Soros=Joseph Goebbels

In Nazi Germany, Joseph Goebbels was appointed the Minister of Propaganda. Today, we have George Soros filling his shoes.

For those of you who may not know who George Soros is, let me give you a brief biography. Soros is a billionaire who acquired his wealth through hedge funds and stock speculation. He has since used his wealth to further liberal agendas around the world, including throwing millions of dollars to efforts to try and unseat George W. Bush in 2004. ACORN and moveon.org have him tagged as one of their top donors. He is a member of the Bilderbergers and also of the Carlyle Group. The man defines the word "leftist."

According to worldnetdaily.com, the Associated Press has agreed to allow free publication by four nonprofit groups: the Center for Public Integrity, the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University, the Center for Investigative Reporting and ProPublica. All of these groups are funded by George Soros. AP will also distribute the material to their 1,500 subscribing newspapers.

Pro Publica is a group founded by a $10 million yearly grant. Herbert and Marian Sandler, the former chief executives of the Golden West Financial Corporation, were the people backing the grant. Currently sitting on the board of Pro Publica is none other than Henry "Beer Summit" Gates, Jr. Last year, the Sandlers sold their business to Wachovia for an estimated $26 billion, a deal that had their personal shares at $2.4 billion.

The Sandlers are major donors to the Democratic Party and are top funders of ACORN, MoveOn.org, the American Civil Liberties Union and other far-leftist groups like Human Rights Watch.

In 2008, the Sandlers were behind two controversial California Political Action Committees, Vote Hope and PowerPac.org, which spent about $5 million in pro-Obama ads in that state. The two groups were run by the Sandler's son-in-law, Steve Phillips, the former president of the San Francisco School Board.

The journalistic integrity of Pro Publica has been called into question on more than one occasion. The Capital Research Center issued a report concluding that Pro Publica "churns out little more than left-wing hit pieces about Sarah Palin and blames the U.S. government for giving out too little foreign aid."

CPI, another nonprofit group being helped by AP, is funded by Soros' Open Society Institute.

CPI churns out regular partisan pieces. One widely debunked CPI study from last year, covered extensively by the AP, claimed it found President Bush and top administration officials had issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq as "part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."

Richard Poe, a writer for the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, concluded CPI and other Soros-funded so-called watchdogs "have a long history of coordination with Soros and his Shadow Party. They are beholden to Soros personally for his financial support. His influence often shows in their choice of targets."

The AP itself has called the arrangement to distribute pieces from the Soros and Sandler-funded nonprofits a six-month experiment that could later be broadened to include other investigative nonprofits and to serve its nonmember clients, including broadcast and Internet outlets.

"It's something we've talked about for a long time, since part of our mission is to enable our members to share material with each other," said Sue Cross, a senior vice president at the AP.

She added the development in 2006 of an Internet-based system for members to receive AP material made it easier to do this kind of sharing and to offer new products like the investigative service.

Now we know that Jeffery Immelt isn't alone in all of the Obama hype and hysteria. The man behind the curtain is none other than George Soros.

Cornyn to Obama: No Fishing!

Sen. Cornyn Writes Obama: Why Fish for Informants?

Thursday, August 6, 2009 8:14 AM Article Font Size

WASHINGTON -- A leading Republican senator sharply assailed the White Houseon Wednesday for its request for supporters to help track "fishy" claims about President Barack Obama's plans to overhaul healthcare. "I am not aware of any precedent for a president asking American citizens to report their fellow citizens to the White House for pure political speech that is deemed 'fishy' or otherwise inimical to the White House's political interests," John Cornyn of Texas wrote to President Barack Obama. "As Congress debates healthcare reform and other critical policy matters, citizen engagement must not be chilled by fear of government monitoring the exercise of free speech rights," he wrote. Cornyn was responding to a message on Tuesday from Obama's director of new media, Macon Phillips, who asked on an official White House blog for members of the public to forward questionable claims to the administration. "There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation," Phillips said. "Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov," said Philips. Cornyn, who also leads the Republican effort to expand its 40-seat minority in the Senate, asked how the White House would use the information collected, what actions if any the White House would take against citizens linked to "fishy" claims, and whether they would be told about being flagged. "I can only imagine the level of justifiable outrage had your predecessor asked Americans to forward emails critical of his policies to the White House," Cornyn wrote, referring to former president George W. Bush. "I suspect that you would have been leading the charge in condemning such a program - and I would have been at your side denouncing such heavy-handed government action," he wrote. © 2009 Agence France Presse.

Obamacare: Change "Gov't Run" to "Public Option"

My my my. The word games these people are playing with the English language. In their latest marketing strategy of Obamacare, the Franking Commission, a bipartisan committee that oversees messages from lawmakers, has asked that the phrase "government run" be replaced with "public option". The change was made public by Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) last week.

The Franking Commission, which is authorized by law to oversee mail and other communications between members of Congress and their constituents that is paid for with federal funds, sent an e-mail to Carter's staff requesting that the wording in the message be changed.

“I received the script back from the majority, and there are a couple of changes that need to be made to make it compliant,” the Franking Commission e-mail said. “In the first paragraph (answering machine message, automatic connection) change ‘House Democrats unveiled a government run health care plan’ to either ‘the house majority (sic) unveiled a public option health care plan’ or ‘Just this past week the House majority (sic) unveiled a health care plan which I believe will cost taxpayers ….’”

“Change this on both scripts and send it back to me,” the e-mail concluded.

The email was unveiled during the same conference that Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) showed his healthcare chart to the public.

“Now, why can’t I say what I feel about a plan that I’m being asked to vote upon, that has been debated on the floor of the House on multiple occasions, where multiple numbers of people have used the term ‘government run health care plan?’” Carter asked at the press conference last week.

“In fact, I would submit to you, when you look at this chart, how could you not say it’s a government-run health care plan?" he said.

“Why does the Franking Commission have the right to prevent me from freely speaking what I think my folks back home ought to hear and instead tell me I have to speak what the president said last night?” Carter said, referring to President Barack Obama’s televised press conference at the White House last Wednesday.

“I think that is an abridgement of free speech,” he said.

“Why are they so afraid of this chart?” Carter said. “Why are they so afraid of a simple phrase that one member of Congress might say on a telephone town hall? Could it be that they know what this health care plan is?”

John Stone, communications director for Carter, has vowed to fight what he is calling censorship by the Franking Commission.

“We plan to take it to the [House] floor on Monday night,” Stone said. “There is going to be a massive protest.”

“And if they try to stop it with a motion to adjourn, we’re going to go outside and hold our speeches,” Stone said. “We will not be silenced.”

I may just tune in to C-Span to see how this is going to go. I pray that every American follows suit.
