With a vast empire covering most major areas along with a well established distribution network for its flagship newspaper, the New York Times, there is very little that The New York Times Company cannot influence. Multiply that with the syndication of its publications over the Internet and other electronic media and add the international alliances via the International Herald Tribune and you have making of a media empire. What New York Times says becomes reality.

As the media giant, coming out of city of hate, New York Times has been spewing hatred towards Muslims and Islam for decades now. Never a day has gone by when the New York Times does not carry an article, most of the time several articles in one day, bringing out an aspect of Islam with a negative spin on what could easily be explained otherwise by a scholar of Islam or even a lay person that is even slightly versed in the teachings of Islam. The spin is always negative, the portrayal is always skewed, the outcome is always one sided. Always.

Some examples are more egregious than others and have far reaching consequences. Here are three articles that have appeared within the last three months.

On January 27, 2010 New York Times published what it called "The Jihadist Next Door" written by Andrea Elliott. It was a lengthy article and went into great detail about all aspects of the topic at hand. Not that much of it was accurate, it read very nicely and majority of it sounded very plausible. You have to know a lot about Islam and Muslims in order to look at it critically and refute some of the assertions it made. Unfortunately, most of the readers would have absolutely no clue. At one count there were 263 comments on the article. The article portrayed the life of Omar Hammami, born and raised in America. He went to school in Alabama and attended church while growing up in small town. The article suggests among other things:

  • This kind of transition from normal school boy to a Jihadi is rampant among the Muslim youths
  • The family structure within the Muslim Household is broken down
  • This can happen time and again
  • We must take action to prevent this from happening
  • We are being over taken by the people with Jihadi agenda
  • No one of Muslim faith can be trusted

This article is coming at the heels of another article from the same author about an Imam. One can imagine the mudslinging that went on in that article. That article garnered the author a Pulitzer prize. That is also part of the claim to fame for this article.

In a society that is a great melting pot something has failed this kid that went from small town USA to being aligned with the Shabab's army in Somalia. Not only that but he also in the process convinced few of his friends to go along with him. That something that has failed this young man is the very phenomenon of melting pot. What exactly is it that drove him to seek out these outside influences that were strong enough to change him from his moderate, even church going upbringing so radically? It's not what one finds on the Internet; it's not what is being preached at the mosques; and it's not what is being taught at schools. What is breaking down is the societal norms of inclusion. The constant bombardment of us versus them. From the time you wake up in the morning to the time you go to bed there is the constant barrage of negativity about one's religion, beliefs, and origins. It is the equivalent of school yard bullying. There is no escape from this which is driving many young Muslims towards seeking out ways to help the downtrodden, a basic tenet within Islam. It's absolutely no different from a jewish kid going to iz-ra-eel to learn more about the history and it's people and then coming back home and supporting iz-ra-eel in any which way he or she can using media, school programs, fund raising, debates, speeches, articles and the positive feedback that goes with that. All of these avenues and outlets are closed for a person like Omar Hammami. None of these normal channels are available to thousands of people like Omar Hammami. When your belief is strong and you want to do something with the strength and desire to help can manifest itself in many different ways.

On March 3rd, New York Times Published an article called "Divorced Before Puberty" written by Nicholas D. Kristof. The article talks about a 10 year old girl getting married to somebody that is about 20 years older than her. The article made it sound like this is something sanctioned by Islamic religion. It also made it sound like it happens everyday and everywhere in the Muslim world. Reality is far from it. The author not only tells the story of this little unfortunate girl but in the process malign Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, both Muslim countries.

There is no doubt about isolated cases of this inhumane treatment of girls and women but Muslims countries are not the only ones where monsters are perpetrating these crimes. Remember the Austrian guy raping his own daughter and having 5 kids with her, the Jaycee Dugard case in California is fresh on our minds, and the celebrity case of the singer of the Mammas and the Pappas having sex with his daughter. Add to these atrocities the child abuse cases in the Catholic church and the church actively hiding and muffling those cases by moving the priests around. All of that is swept under the rug and New York Times does not have much to say about any of that. On some of these cases there have been no reporting by New York Times at all since it did not happen specifically in New York. A rather convenient technicality.

Yemen is the way it is not ONLY because its women are deprived. It could be a contributing factor but not a top of the list contributing factor. It is the one sided policy of discrimination at the international political level of US and other western countries that perpetuate the situation in Yemen. Yemen is being used as the checkmate for Saudi Arabia. It is a well known fact that the militias of the Houti tribe were well armed and had sophisticated weaponry. They even had their own uniforms. That is a pretty good indicator that they are well funded and well armed. Those weapons did not come from Iran. Those weapons were channelled from South Korea to the ports of Sanaa, delivered to Houti tribesmen to fight against the Saudi government troops. The on-again-off-again assault of the Houti tribes over the Yemeni government forces and the Saudi villages is the direct reflection of the failed diplomatic efforts of Hillary Clinton. The rebels have declared truce for now. When the state department would like to do some arm twisting involving Saudi Arabia those Houti Tribesmen will rise again on queue from the operatives of state departments.

For Pakistan the dynamics are even more complex. Under the benign and very pro-American dictatorship of Mr. Musharraf, Pakistan offered its full support to US against the Taliban. This was done at huge risk to Musharraf's own life and well being. As a result of that he was a target of several assassination attempts. The dividend of all this effort and alliance went to India instead in the form of subsidies, equipment, and guarantees for its nuclear program. Not even a thank you for Pakistan. On the contrary there was additional belt tightening of funds and technology transfer to Pakistan. The most important reason: Pakistan is a Muslim country. Nobody from the current regime at State Department will ever support providing what Pakistan really needs to make the right progress in curbing the advances of outside forces like the Taliban.

For both Yemen and Pakistan, poverty is the one and most prevalent reason why women don't go to schools and don't advance to colleges. Schooling of kids is not free in most of Pakistan. When the head of the household has to make a choice between providing food for his family and sending kids to school, the food, a basic necessity, usually wins out, hands down. One must wonder if Kristof took this very real and hard fact into account while writing his well worded malignment of Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. When is Kristof going to write espousing the benefits of policy of engagement instead of policy of confrontation with both Yemen and Pakistan?

On March 6th New York Times published an article with the heading: "Arabia: Inshallah, Obama" written by Maureen Dowd. Dowd's writing is academic, to say the least. She is what most would call an accidental Journalist. She would be better off writing for a blog instead of writing for New York Times where the readers expect lot more than the rants of an accidental journalist. (she probably does write for a blog with same hatred for Arabs, Muslims and Islam) The article rehearses a conversation between her and Prince Faisal, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia. The premise of the article, starting from the title, is poking fun at the Arabs in general and an undertone of tongue-in-cheek attitude towards what amounts to policy discussion and serious subject matters such as dealing with settlement activity by the iz-ra-eeli-s, the question of restarting the stalled negotiations for the peace process in the Middle East, and the Iranian crises.

Underlying aspects of the conversation:
First she uses the full name of Barak Obama with the middle name spelled out. Not a coincidence since it's not commonly used. It is only used when the purpose is to spread the controversy. Here is some of what she says:
"The address of the first American president with Muslim roots"
That is a thorn in many voters' side but New Work Times has to publicise that from time to time to keep things in check.

Here she goes for the jugular:
"It’s probably a sign of progress that Prince Saud calls it "a border dispute." Unless it’s just his understated way. He also refers to "the 9/11 incident" and alludes to the Holocaust obliquely as "World War II."" "Despite repeated attacks by Arab states and Arab and Iranian-backed militant groups, and a call for Israel’s destruction by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, Prince Saud suggested that Israel might be overreacting about security because of "World War II" and that this prevented a peace deal."

Here is the breakdown:

"Despite repeated attacks (justification for what Iz-ra-eel does) Border dispute (read as if he is undermining the severity of the issue), 9/11 being an incident (something that has totally consumed the American psyche when worse atrocities have been committed in the name of 9/11, but the media wants to keep that in the forefront, and despite the fact that many credible American politicians have called it something other than what the American government has led the public to believe), and referring to Holocaust as World War II (anything but that. It's the ultimate weapon in a news person's arsenal alluding to anti-semitism).

Thomas Friedman is the original three headed snake that talks with one head and bites with the other two. Maureen Dowd is clearly following in his footsteps. It would be wise for the Saudi government, and all the Arab and Muslim governments to declare journalists attached in any way to New York Times, Associated Press, and NewsCorp as persona non-grata and not allow any conversations with them especially by those who are in position of power. These so called journalists go there, eat their food, talk to them as if they are friends, put them at ease, get the unofficial take on the current issues and present them to the American public as if it is the official version. American people, not knowing Albania from Zimbabwe believe anything and everything that these journalists put out as news and spit it out on queue at the comments on the news and other forums to malign Muslims and Islam. Two for the price of one. Unfortunately the chances of Prince Faisal reading what is attributed to him in dialogues such as this one from Maureen Dowd in the New York Times are remote at best. What is even more remote is the possibility of any corrections of what is attributed to him. What is almost guaranteed from the likes of Friedman and Dowd is that they will twist and twist again what was said in a private conversation to promote their own nefarious agendas.

These are only three examples of the most recent articles that have helped expose the overall agenda of New York Times of hatred towards Muslims all around the world. More and more articles are showing up on daily basis that are suggesting that hate towards American citizens of Muslim origin or those who may have converted to Islam is OK and in fact maybe called for. There is not one Muslim country that is exempt from the wrath of news hacks at the New York Times. Those who best the agenda of hate among the New York Times and Associated Press writers are sure to get a berth at the highly coveted (kissing each other's ass) Pulitzer Prize.

No Spin A Pleasant Surprise


American media left in the dust

Few Days ago an article in Christian Science Monitor mentioned about news media that was relatively unbiased. It's a rather novel concept in these troubled times. What was not surprising at all was the fact that not one of the outlet was US based. Free speech produces all sorts of monsters and one of them happens to be the one where whoever owns the media can spew any amount of lies and get away with it.

One of the surprises in the list was Hindu Times.

The Hindu Times is far cry, at least from the preliminary reading, from the bias and hatred that Associated Press or New York Times spews out. Here is the report in question:
Headline: Saudi Arabia 'worried' about Pakistan situation

What was remarkable about the article? Unlike the Associated Press article which would have reminded the reader about Three wars that India and Pakistan have fought in the past, the gory details of the Mumbai Attacks (how many killed and how the synagogue was attacked and how old is that survivor boy from the synagogue etc.) it stuck to the facts regarding the topic at hand which was the Saudi foreign Minister's meeting with the visiting prime minister of India. In addition there were ample details about the trip and related happenings and other articles if you really wanted to dig deeper.

The New York Times would not have fared any better than Associated Press since they are both cut from the same cloth, one that has the bias as hubris written all over it. It is refreshing to see a news outlet that sticks to new reporting instead of news making. Opinions are good but those should remain in the editorial pages instead of on the front pages disguised as news.

We Want Money, And Lots Of It

Since WWII companies, big and small have made restitution to Holocaust funds worldwide. Recently, IBM made undisclosed restitution for its alleged part in providing computers and related know how to Germans during WWII. It turned out some of the equipment was purchased before the war.

Nevertheless, IBM capitulated under pressure for perceived defamation promised by jewish groups and in the process not only promised huge sums to several jewish organizations but, against their better economic judgment, decided to move major part of its development to Haifa, iz-ra-eel to appease the jewish lawyers that were ready to drag IBM through courts for whatever they can get out of IBM, even if it took years. This amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars for jewish groups and for the jewish state. This is in addition to the billions already extracted, by hook or crook, in the name of holocaust. These funds go to the benefit of hundreds of organizations that support many causes including usurping of Palestinian land, getting people to visit Iz-ra-eel, providing scholarship funds to jewish students, and contributing to iz-ra-eeli political interests all across the united States. The visits mentioned earlier are part of the Birth Right movement but they are not limited to jewish youth. They bring in American politicians, including big names like Governor of Texas Rick Perry, the media people across the spectrum, and anybody that could benefit and increase the influence of the jewish state.

Fast forward to atrocities and extra judicial killings in Iraq. The survivors of some of the dead received $200-2000 only. No scholarships, no trips, no industry moving to Iraq, no lawsuits. Nothing. A measly $200 for Iraqi blood. There were videos aplenty to show soldiers handing out money to women in Burqas, toting a kid along in the dust to get her $200. Some may have gotten $2000 but those were few and far between.

Today General McCrystal is apologizing to Afghans for killing, by government count, 27 civilians. What is the current exchange rate and how much or how far $200 will go in the war ravaged country? This is not the first time the civilians have died at the hands of errant special operations forces. If past is any indicator forget the exchange rate. You will not need it. You ain't getting anything other than a televised apology so Associated Press can display that with pride, write up a biased article and everybody will be happy.

Will the media lead us to War with Iran

The Obvious Truth People Are Refusing To See

From New York Times to Associated Press to Google, the hypocritical coverage and misleading news headlines is leading us to war with Iran. Last two moths there has hardly been a day that New York Times has not printed a decisively opinionated column telling the nation and the world that its OK to go to war with Iran. The allegiance of New York Times with Iz-ra-eeli lobby is no surprise. New York Times, touted as independent media is THE mouthpiece of AIPAC and rest of the Iz-ra-eeli war machine.


The latest headline from Google:


Here is the headline from New York Times:



The story does not stop at the headlines though. Many of the articles, opinions, and Op-Ed pieces allow you to leave comments and that is where the real story reside. The vitriol, the venom spewed, and the amount of hatred towards not only Iran but rest of the world that has anything to do with Iran. Surprisingly nobody faults the Russians who actually sold the technology as well as most of the know how on building the reactor. Why? The truth may just come out as to what is the capability of is sold to them.

Here are comments and there is no surprise as to what is expected:



Here is another example:




The distortions, the half truths, the misinformation, the unsubstantiated anonymous sources, and just outright lies is what makes up the coverage of Iran nuclear issues. There are many people that know exactly how crooked the media is when it comes to Iran however most of these people have no clue what to do about it. Here is an example of the misinformation (this is realted to drone attacks in Pakistan and the "accuracy" of these attacks):





So the question one must ask: how do they know they were all militants?

One advantage that media has over people at large is that no matter how many comments you leave with hard facts the damage that is done by somebody like New York Times can never be undone. Nobody has the time to call them to account. So the editors know very well that these distortions no matter how egregious are not going to land them in court. The actual war criminals are walking the streets stuffing there pockets let alone the editors of a newspaper being called to account.

Top 10 Tools Of Tyranny

Media outlets are prominently displayed in this menagerie of culprits that are destroying America one brick at a time. This is so because people become what they hear and see. People want to see what they WANT to see and hear and believe. We see and hear what matches with what we think is reality. We confirm what we know, expand on what has changed of what we know, and assimilate more of the similar stuff that reinforces what we already know and believe. In a survey of 22,000 people in 21 countries, only politicians ranked as less trustworthy than managers of large companies, who finished behind lawyers and Journalists. The journalists rank very low in the scheme of things when it comes to trustworthiness and ethical standards.
American media gives us 90% of what we want to see and 90% of what we see is handed down to us based on what the media wants us to see. It's very circular. We become what we see and hear. If hatred and bigotry is what we see on TV than that is exactly what we become: hateful and bigoted. If we see xenophobia then that is what we become in our day to day life. That is what media is doing to us. It plays a huge role in what we think, do and how we treat other people around us. Media shapes our lives in more way then we would like to admit.


Fox News
The amount of misinformation coming out of this media outlet is unmatched. If this was a liberal media owned by a foreigner, Rupert Murdoch, the likes of Rush and Glenn will be accusing them of selling out America to foreigners. However no one ever says a word about that since it favors conservatives and it serves their purpose. According to them it's perfect for America.
US State Department
The true shadow government within the Obama government. Hillary Clinton is suppose to be incharge of it but she has been sidelined from about the second month into her appointment. Beyond that was all Rahm and his henchmen running the foreign policy.


American Enterprise Institute
The neocon hang out of people like Karl Rove and Richard Perle, the prince of Darkness. Even Lynn Cheney has a desk their for allegedly writing books for kids.



Blackwater
Hired mercenaries and thugs with no regard for life whatsoever. They have recently been ordered out of Iraq but it remains to be seen how they are going to be morphed to pull wool over the Iraqi government's eyes. The weak government in Iraq is the obvious advantage Blackwater has. The crimes against the innocent, murder in broad daylight, and bribery from the highest level. What more evidence you need to declare them enemies of state, both in America and abroad. Its all about the networking and who you know in the high places.

New York Times
Behind the excellence in writing is the ultimate sword of hatred and bigotry. It kills, and kills relentlessly. They have a special section dedicated to inciting unrest in Iran, or so it seems. Even the Iranian clerics have become the darling of news hacks at this establishment. When China kills its own Muslim civilian population in cold blood, according to New York Times its China's "Strongman" protecting the interests of the state. See also our top ten enemies of peace.



Associated Press
With control over 5000+ print media and 1700+ TV stations they have the monopoly over all aspects of any household globally. This is especially true in the west because that is where most of the information that comes out of this premier hatemonger is consumed. Unless you are living in a cave you can not escape from the clutches of this tool of tyranny. The biased and agenda driven drivel coming out of this media conglomerate is unmatched. Top secret weapon: the people who decide what goes in the news and what stays out. See also our top ten enemies of peace.
Rush, Glenn, And The Right Wing Hate Machine
Rush, Glenn, Sean, and O'Rielly are the poster boys of right wing hate machine. However don't forget people like Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Robert Spencer, and the entire staff of FrontPage Magazine that work behind the scenes to convince people in high places that hate is good and freedom is bad; torture is OK and accountability is bad. They are there to argue that banning Hijab and minarets will somehow make us safer and stronger.
Hollywood
The remake of Taking The Pelham 123 was an eye opener. It maligned the two main religions using camera angles and symbols. Hollywood churning out movie after movie with message of hate and desecration of symbols of Christianity and especially those of Islam.

Department Of Homeland Security
The most recent addition to the arsenal of hate mongering is called "home grown threats." Everybody is a suspect. anybody and everybody can be interrogated without showing just cause.

US Armed Forces
The military industrial complex that we were warned about was no hoax. It has come to fruition long time ago but more so now than ever before. They have been let loose on the world without any accountability. The tyranny they are unleashing on innocent people in far away places is making new enemies for America by the bushel. Nobody blinks an eye on murder of innocent people and chalk that all up to collateral damage. The means to that end are all too familiar: drone attacks in Pakistan, night raids in Afghanistan, torture and renditions around the globe, and special forces and sophisticated bomb attacks disguised as suicide bombings in Iran.

Top 10 Enemies Of Peace






This time around the top 10 list contains 5 individuals and 5 organizations that have worked relentlessly and tirelessly towards defeating peace and promoting war. Since there are so many people and organizations working against peace in American it was hard to come up with a short list. Here is worst of the worst.

Individuals:

Ben-jam'in Nut-n-yohoo
Current prime minister of iz-ra-eel, convicted in the court of law of financial fraud he is the king of war, murder, and mayhem. He is a line of successive candidates that have been involved in shady financial deals involving construction/real estate/other financial dealings on the usurped land in the occupied territories. Despite the dubious distinctions White House always has a red carpet ready and laid out for him to walk on.
A-vig-doer Labor-mann
The labor of hate man. The # 1's (above) henchman and another guy who firmly believes in "cleansing" all the cities of goyim so he and his cohorts can practice their religion with absolute devotion. Whatever that religion happens to be.



Ileana Rosh-ligtn'in
Representative from Florida, if you want to pass a legislation of hate against any Muslim or Arab country she is the go to gal for the neo-cons, the AIPAC, and the inside woman for the wingnuts.

Henree Kiss-a-n-ger



Founding member of zionist regime and "respected" elder statesman. Kiss-a-n-ger has been instrumental in making skewed policy favoring iz-ra-eel for years now across multiple administrations. You can talk lot more when you talk from both sides of the mouth and this guy is master of talking from both sides of the mouth. It takes practice and it takes the audience to practice and understand whet the F**k he is saying with that nazi lilt he has.
For Additional readings about this monster:

Billiam Kris(h)tol
Son of Irv'ing kris(h)tol who is the father of neo-conservative movement in America. Like father like son. He started, funded, promoted, sustained and then dissolved Foundation for New Century whose main purpose was to invade Iraq, and depose and kill Saddam Hussein.

Organizations:

AIPAC
If there was one organization that has done more to derail the peace process, this would have to be it. Legalized, under the protection of IRS, the state department, the homeland security, FBI, and the CIA, the AIPAC operatives (hoods) raise money, spread hatred, change peoples' minds for the worse, and do anything and everything in their power to defeat the peace process.
Associated Press




Tool of the Tyranny. Using their might of 5000+ newspapers and 1700+ TV stations the not-for-profit news source misinforms the biggest number of audience. The beauty of it all is that most of these people don't even know they are getting the news from Associated Press.

FauxNews
The play on name says it all. Hateful, fraudulent, twisted truth. Neither fair nor balanced




New York Times

Three generation of biased, hatred, and one sided reporting. Another Tool Of The Tyranny that has no problem finding substance every single day to promote war. Opinions, editorials, news, pictures, cartoons, videos (on the Internet edition), and any other means using the new or old media techniques to malign anybody and everybody that is not jewish. The hatred spewed fits the major newspaper coming out from the City of Hate they call New York.


Foreign Policy magazine
A major Tool Of The Tyranny, this magazine churns out anti-peace articles month after month. The shine, the gloss, the fine printing and format is just the beginning. The list of articles promoting war, hatred, and bigotry is too long to fit anywhere on the entire Internet but needless to say there has never been a single issue that did not contain multiple pieces that in one or the other way suggested that annihilating the infidel Muslims, Arabs and anybody that sympathize with them is perfectly legal, moral, and exactly what is called for.

Bin Laden Spotted at Pentagon?

Bin Laden is alive and well, chilling in the basement of Pentagon in Langley Virginia. His room number is B3-S55A3-c. That, for you Pentagon newbies, is located in Basement 3, South Wing 55, Office Type is A which means top security clearance is required, and 3 is the size of the office, being a medium sized office. the "-c" is for no cameras allowed under any circumstances, regardless of the security clearance. Amazingly enough though, this is the same room where one of the clandestine Audio-Visual lab is located. Coincidence? Hardly.

When Bin Laden first came on the scence his tape recording was heard on many TV stations. These were feeds from Al-Jazeera. You remember Al-Jazeera, the friendly network that provided lots of propaganda material after the 9/11 fiasco. Truth remains murky at best. It's the same TV station that later tried to start an English broadcasting service but that effort went nowhere because no American cable company would carry their broadcast. Certainly not because it was not going to be profitable. The word is that the directives not to carry Al-Jazeera came directly from the top, from people like George and Dick. They could not agree on how much they can control on what goes in and what stays out. The people at Al-Jazeera would not relinquish that control over to the same set of people that determine what goes in or stays out at Associated press. Rest is history.

Back to Bin Laden tapes. The voice on the recording was distinct and one that was authenticated at the behest of CIA. As events unfolded and Bin Laden's presence became more scarce the voice on the recording changed. Changed about 180 degrees if there is a measure like that for voice. The change was apparent to layperson, but only those who actually paid any attention. Therein lies the problem. The ordinary viewer of the six o'clock news have absolutely no clue and does not care if the voice is same or different. How many of them even remember the airing of Bin Laden's voice few days after 9/11 and any subsequent airing of the purported tapes that pop up at the most convenient times? Can any of those viewers tell where Afghanistan is on the map. Do they know which continent England is located in? Do they know who is the senator from their state? Clueless people being fed lies and agenda of hatred and then given the potent weapon of a vote. That is a dangerous combination.

Bin Laden will never die. Not as long as this so called war on terrorism continues and is in the interst of US for it to continue. He will never die as long as the funding of the lab at B3-S55A3-c can be secured. There are very little doubts that the funding will stop anytime soon.
