Just for all those that read this thread. The ORIGINAL title was "The MSM is hurting us bad" and was started by me. The hread was awesome and NOT whiny at all. Then the MODERATORS took my thread and changed the title to "BITCH AND MOAN CENTRAL...(for the night)". They also merged a bunch of other threads with mine so that now it makes no sense. It also now makes me look like I was whinning wchih I wasn't!!!!! I am very outraged and have HUGE doubts about the moderators on this forum. :mad::mad::mad:

and I blame them for everthing!

But is there really NOTHING tha we all can do about them?? This is a serious question folks, WHAT CAN WE DO? This can't go on like this. It's not that people don't like his message, it HAS to be out on TV! Like some of my neighbors who dont have he internet, the are getting their news from TV, and we all know what that is. Or a friend of mine who used to tell me she'd vote for Paul now talks about Obama because ha is all she hears. It is very clear that the media has gotten their way and he are getting away with it. I cannot accept it until every single step has been taken to kick them in their friggin behinds! WHAT CAN WE DO???? I know here are some seriously smart people on the boards, we reall NEED media attention!

what can you expect the MSM get paid by campaigns to report the "Facts", or take bribes depends on how you want to look at it.I wonder if you dig deep enough if you'll find any stock ownership in some of these media outlets by other campaigns

Seriously though, I am 90% sure they are violating a few laws about interfering with the elections. This would be Box 3 (see my sig). If someone can find those laws (which they are banking on us not looking for) then we are in business.

There is nothing we as a grassroots can do about it, that's why they do it. The establishments use of the mass media has controlled this nation for decades and has succesfully dumbed down a nation. Our lives, as a nation, is controlled by the televsion and not just the news. We have been lied to about everything. Everything is an illusion. Everything is supported by "wag the dog" televsion. We the people are stars of our own "Ed Tv" show.

Stay tuned, the next episode is a dooozy!

I asked this same guy, "Sean, which candidate did you like?", because I had talked to him about Ron Paul before big time and sent him YouTube videos etc., on Ron Paul...
He replied, "I liked Mitt Romney."
After making sure my heart was still beating,
I asked him nicely, "What did you like about Mitt Romney?" his answer told me what I already knew...
He replied, "I like the way he speaks and what he says.",
I pressed him really answer the question, "Sean, what do you mean what he says...what positions of his do you like?"
He replied, "I can't think of any right now."

The GOP is just as guilty as the media if not more so. They made no rules for the networks to have even though they were airing the debates in their name and allowed them to have biased coverage (or were they complicit?). We can go on about insecure voting machines the party chose to use and the accusations of behind the scenes manipulation with delegate brokering, and the fact that the GOP has grown the size of the government ever since 1900 although they say that they are conservative.

There is one ruling class. The whole 2 party concept (that wasn't around when the Constitution was written) was invented and made a part of the system to give you an illusion of choice to make you think you have a voice. Think about it, approval ratings go down, another party gets office but the overall agenda stays the same. They are setting up McCain to be the Manchurian candidate to run against the Democratic winner to lose without bringing up vital systemic issues... and in the end we will have a Democrat as president and the illusion that we voted for change and the machine will get to grow stronger while the American people think DC will change.

MSM = oppresive government--old as time--the tactic that every tyranny has used throughout history. I have said it before on this forum; you can't overthrow the establishment by working within it or acting like it.

I think the only chance of bringing immediate change, for those who cherish freedom and liberty, would be to start a sub-culture among the Ron Paul people. This would involve ignoring the system, as they have ignored us, and making drastic lifestyle changes. A good starting point would be the promotion of self-sufficiency and "old school" bartering for goods and work.

While the politico types among us can continue the fight to change the government itself--a long, hard, uphill battle--all of us can restructure our personal lives to distance ourselves from the very thing we hate. We need to start netwoking and match talent/resources to start the process.

The vast majority of primary voters seemed to either think he had absolutely no chance or that he was a kook. 30 second TV ads wouldn't have changed minds, although a very clever ad might have gotten non voters (who don't follow politics) out to vote for him. The campaign did the right thing by concentrating on caucus states (where we had the best chance) and on radio ads (whose audience is much more likely to vote, pays more attention to the message (instead of feel), and is generally more deliberative).

The GOP is just as guilty as the media if not more so. They made no rules for the networks to have even though they were airing the debates in their name and allowed them to have biased coverage (or were they complicit?). We can go on about insecure voting machines the party chose to use and the accusations of behind the scenes manipulation with delegate brokering, and the fact that the GOP has grown the size of the government ever since 1900 although they say that they are conservative.

There is one ruling class. The whole 2 party concept (that wasn't around when the Constitution was written) was invented and made a part of the system to give you an illusion of choice to make you think you have a voice. Think about it, approval ratings go down, another party gets office but the overall agenda stays the same. They are setting up McCain to be the Manchurian candidate to run against the Democratic winner to lose without bringing up vital systemic issues... and in the end we will have a Democrat as president and the illusion that we voted for change and the machine will get to grow stronger while the American people think DC will change.


"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." – John Adams

I never got the feeling that Ron Paul wanted to win. I kind of feel as though he felt pressured into running, and then obligated to finish. I'm also angry that he spent over $20,000,000 and all I saw from it was two commercials the night of the primary in MN. I'm angry that the media ignored him until tonight, just to make a headline saying that he won't run as a third party candidate and that he's dedicated to being a republican. I'm angry that he's saving face in order to save his job. That's what the GOP as a whole is doing in Iraq right now. That's why McCain is getting the nomination. None of this feels right. Ron Paul knows the message but I don't think he's the man I hoped he was. Otherwise he would have rub third party instead of giving up. His last few emails have been so defeated. And so am I.

Good luck.

They were trying to skewer Ron Paul in person and they have a lot of control in their own (non live) shows. As for AJ, I think RP stopped going on there once the smearing began but still sent his campaign staff. The AJ audience seems to be what gave us some steam online early last year but right wing radio definitely used that against us after we popped into the MSM after november 5th. But they would have smeared us with something else if it hadn't been AJ.

You know what? I felt the exact same way after Iowa, I was pissed. I went there for the Student Volunteers thing, my first time ever taking a plane (from Michigan), I spent hours working, sleep-deprived, and even staying the night in headquarters the day of the caucus. If you saw the incompetence . . . You'd be more than disappointed. But you have to realize the results of this campaign are the results of the campaign workers, not the message or man the campaign was meant to run around. Do you understand that? Paul trusted many of these people, but there were many who didn't understand or care as passionately as Paul does.

So, why didn't I give up? Not because I came to Iowa, not because it was just the beginning, but because of this . . . These words Paul said the night of the loss, "And there's a greater burden on you than the average person because you know better. So you have an obligation to spread this message, others don't know any better so they don't have this obligation. You have, I don't know fortunately or unfortunately, you are- you are now responsible because you have the message, you know what is right, you know what has to be done, and you know that it will be dependant on you to do it."

So, if you want to whine, if you want to turn your back on the people, nation, ideas, and truths Paul inspired you to start caring about, get the fuck out of here. Obviously, you're with Paul and you're not an idiot, try and understand that this is just a rut and giving up may be a plausible option, but you have something and a responsibility most people don't- and that's understanding of the truths and knowledge that have warped this country into the tyrannical beast its founders warned it could develop into.

We're all in this together, Paul said in his latest letter that he'll need us by his side. And, yeah, I'm confident enough in both his message and truth that I'll continue helping in whatever way I can. BUT will you?

Debt will be inflated away. Don't sweat it.

Housing prices may/will crash, it's still to be seen if inflation will be bad enough to make it not matter. Who knows, the average house may become worth 30 ounces of gold...

The stock market may/will crash, it's still to be seen if inflation will be bad enough to make it go "up".

Just get your savings into areas to take advantage of the cycle we are in. Look to 1929-1940 for examples. Look to the Weimar Republic in Germany prior to Nazi takeover. Look to Japan from the 90's to present, with the added factor that we don't have personal savings as they did.

The Elements of Journalism

According to The Elements of Journalism by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosensteil, there are nine elements of journalism [1]. In order for a journalist to fulfill their duty of providing the people with the information they need to be free and self-governing. They must follow these guidelines:

1. Journalism's first obligation is to the truth.
2. Its first loyalty is to the citizens.
3. Its essence is discipline of verification.
4. Its practitioners must maintain an independence from those they cover.
5. It must serve as an independent monitor of power.
6. It must provide a forum for public criticism and compromise.
7. It must strive to make the significant interesting, and relevant.
8. It must keep the news comprehensive and proportional.
9. Its practitioners must be allowed to exercise their personal conscience.

On the April 2007 edition of the book [2], they have added one additional element, the rights and responsibilities of citizens to make it a total of ten elements of journalism.


So people, what are our rights and responsibilities when it comes to journalism? I believe that all nine elements are consistently violated these days. So what do we do about #10?

Because it has been said before that Reagan won his election from direct mail. It is Richard Viguerie who is credited with being the "funding father" of the Reagan Revolution. By the way, he supports Ron Paul and I would well-imagine his mailing list is being used by the campaign.

Definitely boycotting sponsors would be very effective. I think we just need a list of every single sponsor that advertises on enemies' networks. We could all just post it on our fridge and very quickly we'd know it by heart. This would be huge. I know that when Fox excluded Ron from the debate, a few people had posted sponsors and even though I didn't print it, I remember a few by heart right now that I won't ever again buy from (Best Buy off the top of my head). Maybe a few of us could each take on one organization (fox, cnn, msnbc, latimes, etc) and make a list of their sponsors, then post it on the forums and meetups.

If people had this information handy and in one place, they would actually try to boycott and it would feel SO good to do it. To me it would feel like I'm getting a great deal by buying somewhere/something else.

Can we get started on something like this?

I haven't owned a TV in 6 years. I have all but stopped listening to am radio. The corruption is totally unacceptable. Every chance I get I tell people to turn off the TV. Find entertainment elsewhere.

I know several people who agree with many of my views, and when they come to me to say I was right about things, the first thing I tell them is get rid of their TV.

That is the only thing I can do. Part of the message needs to be "Say No to American Propaganda." Its disgusting. Turn it off, TURN IT OFF!

What is really really sad is that our country is going down this road because as a country, we choose it. It really is too late to turn it around. We need to be in disaster recovery mode NOW. That starts with turning off the TV!

The economy is on a nosedive and the only way to start picking up the pieces is to TURN OFF THE TV.

We have bases in 100+ countries and we can't afford to build other nations while our own infrastructure crumbles so TURN OFF THE TV!

Keep saying it, over and over to everyone. Want to fight world hunger? Turn off the TV. Want to help find a cure for AIDS? Turn off the TV. Reform education? Turn it off. Tired of the scandals in pro sports? Turn off the TV.

Like I said in the quote of myself you quoted, I have nothing to bitch and moan about except this thread. And now you and your choice to read over it and jump all over me like I've chosen to "infect" the grassroots with negative comments. THAT is the type of arrogance that's pissing me off, we can't just write these people off as whiners, they're obviously writing something for all of us to read, and it's not JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HURT US. They wouldn't be writing if they were just going to leave.

Just change the thread title. God damn.

You're right, let's let the younger people, the nine year olds who donate their money, the teens just getting into high school, the twenty-year olds that may be contemplating joining congress to spread Paul's message (you know, the people who will be molding the future) be called fucking bitchers and moaners. Those terms are negative. Do you guys understand that? Just make it less negative.

I'm just saying, DON'T DEMORALIZE THE ALREADY DEMORALIZED by throwing them into a thread that labels them "negative" terms.

That's my only, only, only problem with this thread.

They can take it to Hot Topics. Then, they won't be SPREADING THEIR NEGATIVITY which is bringing EVERYONE ELSE down to THEIR demoralized level.

THE DEMORALIZED HAVE NO RIGHT TO DEMORALIZE THE REST OF US.

Clear enough?

See, this is POLITICS and they call it BLOODSPORT for a reason. If you need to go sit in the corner and lick your wounds for a while, Hot Topics is >>>>Thataway>>>>

This ain't the public schools where everyone has to be accomodated alongside everyone else.

Meaning the glorious demoralized don't get to trample all over the rest of us here in Central.

Alright, I'm glad you're happy. But I've made a number of threads trying to help the people out who have had doubts or slight desires to leave the rEVOLution. I thnk it's extremely arrogant to tell them to "sit in the corner and lick your wounds". You're the equivalent to babies being killed because they show some type of weakness. People showing weaknesses as reactions to losses is natural, you don't just shove them to the side.

Just change the thread title. That's the only problem. Flock the undesirables whereever you want them to go, as long as you don't make it a completely hopeless place to be. Flock 'em somewhere, call 'em names, and make 'em feel bad for questioning themselves, their candidate, and the message they've been fighting for IS NOT INTELLECTUAL. Help, don't ignore.

People often call me a conspiracy theorist even tho all the things I
accept as probably being true and under that general category are
backed up either by reams of public record, our own government's
declassified documentation, multiple eye witness accounts, HIGH
level officials coming forward to whistle blow on themselves - their
departments - etc, or as is usually the case, STRONG combinations
of all of these.

I caught my first insight and resulting intrigue for these kinds of topics
in the early 60's when my father an engineer for Filco Ford, Douglas,
and others began sharing his work with me every weekend that he
wasn't in White Sands, NM or some other secretive testing range. He
showed me a fully working and operational SDI type system prior to
1965 in a more advanced state than Reagan introduced futuristic
plans for in the late 70's. I knew then only a hint of the depth of things
and when Reagan announced "the beginning" of the SDI project some
twenty years later I understood yet more.

I have been paying very close attention to the power structures of
the United States federal government ever since and especially after
Bush senior, E. Howard Hunt, and other CIA men gunned down JFK
in a hail of bullets at least with the blessing of LBJ and then covered it
up with the help of and control over the media.

This man: http://youtube.com/watch?v=IQxB5VKWlfg has his fingers
very very close to the veins of truth and as can be observe from his
voice and manner, is properly concerned. The power distribution is a
little wider and quite a bit longer (time wise) than this video eludes
to but from the point of reference that it makes it is completely
accurate.

This month alone I have spent 154.7 hours (I log it) dedicated solely to
analyzing and estimating the size and sincerity of the Ron Paul support
that exists across the United States. As best I can figure it Ron Paul
should have taken an average of between 61% and 67% (depending
how data is weighted) of the votes in the Super Tuesday primaries when
averaged across that board. That's a landslide win like this nation has
not seen in many many moons.

There is a widespread corruption occurring across the land in (almost)
every participating state. It's really really bad! Here is a sorted sampling
from just one source (you tube) mined in less than one hour using 3 of
the 6 machines I dedicate to mining and research.

where only dash indented entries represent confirmation or other kinds of
duplication. I have no doubt whatsoever that if general elections were to be
held on this day that Dr. Ron Paul would be our next President.

I must comment that if you intend to leave the USA you must do so before
the general elections. For those of you wanting a fight you will find local and
foreign paramilitary forces already trained for this event and ready to follow
orders. The people you will be up against are planners and have been planning
for this scenario tactically (drilling and etc.) for the past 6 or 7 years. It doesn't
mean you don't stand a chance but my advice would be to act within the system
to get as much action taken as you possibly can and to alert as many individuals
as is possible. Talk to the policemen in your area. Talk to anyone you know on
active duty in any of our military branches. Let them know (rationally) your
concerns and your thoughts. We will need as many parts of the system working
FOR us as we can get.

The time for such action passed in the 50's and 60's actually when there were
still men of integrity within our enforcement agencies and within the chain of
command. I guess you can get a good idea of what is left of our once great
government by looking at a cross section of our congressional body. By
examining their voting records and sniffing out affiliations with the CFR and
UN one can get a pretty good idea of the percentage of good men still left and
what power and importance they are afforded. Congress is a public body and
more easily examined is why I suggest looking at them first.

I personally think things won't get as bad as we're taking about here until
the dollar crashes a bit further (which it will) and some of the other bubbles
pop. The next bubble you will see pop will be the credit and loan agencies.
Soon (I guess right around the general elections) 60% or 70% of you will
lose your credit cards and many small and medium sized business will be
forced out of business. Things will spiral from that point tho I don't know
how fast. Certainly one of the "remedies" that are planned is the NAU and
the move to the Amero.

It's sick to watch how only a few dozen families can exert such power of
destruction and the suffering that will follow as a result of the loss of the
U.S.A. as a sovereign state. I just wonder if therein lay the answer to this
trouble we find ourselves facing??


More later,
...me

I agree. There are alot of empty FEMA camps thirsting for inhabitants like a great drooling T-Rex.
As for you strident people wanting pickets and marches...I've been hollering for that for weeks. Someone always shuts me up! Some one accused me of raging against the machine. What i am raging against is media perpetrated INVISIBILITY which IS the machine i guess. However when you take to the streets it HAS to be non-violent or the camps, the camps....


The marches in the 60's started with a handful of people. The next march there were twice as many. The one after that.... it developed exponentially.

It's because you, especially from reading a handful of your former posts, absolutely act like a troll. You can't promote freedom without organization, and organizing freedom and opened forums on the internet are much different than organizing freedom and opened forums in our country. It might require a little eyebrow raising decisions. I don't care if anyone has been banned or not for violating the "Forum Constitution's rule".

How am I acting like a troll? Because I don't blindly believe that Paul won LA and WA even though official results say otherwise?

Not totally. You will not change your sig file which pisses alot of people off. You claim RP is "moving on" and so are you. Really? Where is he moving onto that you would like to see him go? I think you are prevaricating and running a tomfoolery gambit. So do alot of others. There is good reason and you refuse to quell it. You continue to leave your smarmy quote grabs out of context in your sig. I again call you suspect.
