I was working on a bullet listing of individuals “nominated” as Time’s 'Person of the Year', and was hoping for all relevant additions and corrections (TIA). Here is what I have thus far:

Charles Lindbergh 1927 (Freemason, highly suspicious incident involving the kidnapping of his infant son)
Franklin D. Roosevelt 1932, 1934 (Freemason; “New Deal”)
Adolf Hitler 1938 (Thule Society; “Holocaust”)
Joseph Stalin 1939, 1942 (“Great Purge”)
Harry S. Truman 1945, 1948 (Freemason; Hiroshima and Nagasaki)
Richard Nixon 1971, 1972 (liar and copious political scandals; war criminal; “American War”)
Henry Kissinger 1972 (eugenicist; war criminal; traitor; criminal mastermind)
George H. W. Bush 1990 (Skull and Bones; liar and copious political scandals; traitor)
Bill Clinton 1992, 1998 (adulterer; liar and copious political scandals; war criminal; traitor)
Newt Gingrich 1995 (copious political scandals)
George W. Bush 2000, 2004 (Skull and Bones; liar and copious political scandals; war criminal; traitor)
Rudolph Giuliani 2001 (liar and copious political scandals; traitor)
“Barack Obama” 2008, 2012 (associate to known domestic terrorists and communists; liar and copious political scandals; war criminal; traitor)
Ben Bernanke 2009 (economic schemer; liar and copious political scandals)
Mark Zuckerberg 2010 (farce; economic schemer; political implant)

What does 2006 have to do with anything listed above? Yet to further note, I am not meaning the entirety of listing as a Time Magazine historical.

Really? Free Mason conspiracies? I have a couple libertarian friends (one who is upfront about being an anarcho-capitalist) who are Masons.

And as it is already common knowledge, Time chooses figures based on their influence/impact, not because they're virtuous.

OK, let's please keep this thread on topic. Thus far three out three posts have attempted to veer it straight, smack into the weeds.

The Time "Man of the Year" (or Person of the Year) is not necessariliy a tribute to great deeds done by the person- just saying who dominated the news the previous year. We all won it one year (2006- hence the earlier reference to that year). Another year it was a maching (computer- 1982). Heck- the whole planet won once too (1988).

Well if that were actually the case, what happened to the 2001 nomination for the supposed 9/11 hijackers?

The honest truth is that the award “designation is often regarded as an honor, and spoken of as an award or prize, simply based on many previous selections of admirable people.” (Time 2002, p.1)

Well not really, but I am not going to debate what is truly a non-issue. There is simply no point in that.

…lolol, Must be a ton of Time readers here that I have seemingly offended.

Then why did you even start this thread in the first place? :confused:

If your purpose is to illustrate hypocrisy in the media, there are thousands of other subjects you could use that would be orders of magnitude more effective for that purpose. Time's "Person of the Year" baloney is about as much of a non-issue as celebrity shoe sizes ...

Didn't win, but Ron Paul has been nominated many times. Would he be included in your categories?
