Why is there ZERO mention of Bush's new EO in the Mass Media?

[giskard]

This is in regards to Bush's EO last week allowing asset seizure of anyone "threatening Iraq stabilization".

Here is a news.google.com search:

ZERO mention in the mass media. Not even an FYI.

What's going on?

[Syren123]

Control of the media. Perpetuation of propaganda and tittytainment in lieu of news. Nothing new there.

[Craig_R]

I dont know, but it might be a good time to go get a gun if you dont already have one.

they'll have to kill me before I go into any damn FEMA camp

the closest i've seen was an article on slashdot.. sick http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/19/1551242

[rg123]

I posted the same thing somewhere even cspan if a call comes in as soon as they say July 17th EO they hang up the phone I have seen it multiple times

[LibertyEagle]

This is NOT "Ron Paul News", folks.

[Santana28]

it will be as soon as the government decides that we are hampering the war effort, libertyeagle...

[Craig_R]

This is NOT "Ron Paul News", folks.

well, it should be in the news, then RP could make media apperences denouncing it.

[nullvalu]

Exactly, Ron Paul is against the war.. How long before they decide he's "undermining humanitarian efforts in Iraq" and lock him and all his supporters up. That EO is so vague they probably could.

[giskard]

I can understand the propaganda machine causing the story to be buried with no opinions, but no MENTION of it anywhere? This is the most egregious example of non-journalism I have seen to date, worse than the slights against RP or the burying of the Valerie Plame affair.

[qednick]

Is it on digg yet?

[giskard]

I go this email. Let's also give this message to our Representatives:

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. John Conyers strongly indicated Friday he's ready to roll immediately to put Dennis Kucinich's HRes 333 to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney to a vote of the committee. All he wants are three more House members to join the 14 co-sponsors.

Everyone can take two minutes on Monday and do two things: phone Chairman Conyers at 202-225-5126 and ask him to start the impeachment of Dick Cheney; and phone your own Congressional representative at 202-224-3121 and ask them to immediately call Conyers' office to express their support for impeachment.

I just spent the last 30 minutes getting the runaround from my Senators' offices. No one even seems to give a damn, much less have any answers.

[BarryDonegan]

this is definately a very legit threat to civil liberties,and definately relevant to ron paul.

this executive order, like many other Bush ones, is illegal on a lot of fronts, they use other illegal EO to justify it. probably impeaching time, on these very grounds.

[BarryDonegan]

of course not the first time its happened either, Andrew Jackson was one of the first to randomly will EO and not be opposed.

[giskard]

At least Andrew Jackson fought the International Bankers.

[Brad Zink]

Look what happened when someone tried to talk about it on C-SPAN:

Barry, it certainly belongs on this board. My only point was that we have several areas on this board to post things. Lately, the one called "Ron Paul News" has been used as a catch all for just about everything anyone posted. If we don't use the other areas, why do we have them at all?

Give me a break. The host always puts his finger over by the cutoff button when a caller drones on and on. This time, it looks like he accidentally cut them off before they had finished their last point.

Call back tomorrow. If it happens again, you may have a point.

To the blockhead who said that this is not a Ron Paul posting...
show us one thing to demonstrate that you are not a plant.
Who do you folks think that the "certain individuals" are that are referred to anonymously in the title of this new executive order atrocity?? US!!!
Ron Paul
Ron Paul supporters
Cindy Sheehan who got arrested yesterday
and actually 70% of the population who are against the war.
but they will come after the most vocal first.
which only means that they are totally freaked out and we need to keep doing what we are doing but step it up A LOT

[glts]

This is NOT "Ron Paul News", folks.

This IS General Politics & Other.

[ChooseLiberty]

This is something that Olbermann is usually interested in.

Word on DailyKos is that Congresscritters are not giving answers on much of anything this week--nothing on their positions on anything important. What the hell is with that? It's like they've all gotten together and zipped their traps shut.

P.S. I love to watch them go crazy at some of their members who agree with some of what RP says. You pretty much have to look at the comments to find it, but there are quite a few that are FURIOUS with the dems and starting to listen to RP.

[LibertyEagle]

This IS General Politics & Other.

Yeah, I know. But, when it was first posted, it was in "Ron Paul News". Which is why I made the comment. :)

Are you an idiot? You with a big SEVEN posts come on here and accuse me of being a "plant". FO! :mad:

He's been very quiet about Candidate Paul too... you'd think he'd be Olbermann's pick.

Here is one related story that did get some press:

DeFazio asks, but he's denied access
Classified info - The congressman wanted to see government plans for after a terror attack

"As a member of the U.S. House on the Homeland Security Committee, DeFazio, D-Ore., is permitted to enter a secure "bubbleroom" in the Capitol and examine classified material. So he asked the White House to see the secret documents. On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED."

It's getting pretty tyrannical when our representatives are denied access to info to find out what's going on. Here's another article:

[garkoblogo]

yes i saw that too. DeFazio's response after he was denied was "maybe those conspiracy theorists are onto something" lol!
