| Feds Uncover Alleged Plot to Assassinate Ft. Worth Cop, Federal Agent |
| 2005-05-19 |
| Det. Campbell and his wife go to these extraordinary lengths because they and their children have been marked for assassination. A ruthless criminal crime family he spent years investigating and helped break up in 2003 wants them dead. Federal authorities confirm that the Palestinian gang known as the "Ghali crime family," which ran one of the nation's most prolific retail theft rings from Fort Worth, has hatched what one top official called a "credible" plot from behind bars. The plot targets Campbell, his family, and Campbell's longtime partner in the investigations, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Scott Springer.... Agent Springer testified that Ghali had told a jailhouse informant "that he would like to stand before our families and us and peel our skin off with a razor." ... Immediately after the attacks of 9-11, informants called the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force and other law enforcement agencies to allege that the Ghali crime family had built the illegal business back up. They allegedly were shipping millions in illegal proceeds to the Middle East to help finance terrorist groups. |

| #10 Bravo Annie! Why do the institutional media choose to be the enemy? The best answer that I have seen comes, ironically, from arch-lefy Thomas Frank. In his landmark cultural history, The Conquest of Cool, Frank examines the symbiosis between Big Media and radical ideology from the 1950s to the present day. More importantly, he examines the compelling reasons for this relationship. It is not McCarthy-style infiltration by radicals, though many such find the media a very friendly environment. It is not the fuzzy-mindedness of the pampered elites who see media prominence as their birthright, the next step up the social ladder (though there is plenty of that). According to Frank, the characteristic biases of the media are driven by needs of commercial advertising industry, and in particular by a series of advertising tropes that originated at Doyle-Dane-Bernbach in the early 1960s. Recall that it was DDB, for example, who turned a mass produced product of Nazi Germany, the Volkswagen, into the very symbol of free-spirited counterculture. Frank even alleges that DDB and othe agencies created the hippy movement as a framework for advertising campaigns (though they did not coin the term itself). Extraordinary claims, like this one, demand extraordinary evidence, and Frank povides it, in the form of internal ad agency documents from the relevant period. Frank's overall case is long and detailed, but it can be summarized rather briefly: The "Left" as we know it today is a creature of the commercial media, little more than an advertising gimmick run amok. Given this motivation, I think it is fair to say that the adherents of the institutional media culture, the internal culture of that loathesome industy, are probably the most evil and depraved large group of people in history. I am not excluding the Nazis and the Stalinists either. After all, some Nazis and Communists acted from principle; hateful, perverse, and demonic principles, it is true, but principles nevertheless. The institutional media, on the other hand, are almost pure prostitutes, selling out the civilized world for profit and the basest kind of status. Media beasts love to boast of personally having "no limits." Indeed, they would cheerfully promote cannibalism, incest, or human sacrifice if they thought there were a few ratings points and a larger market share in it. This is also true of non-commercial outlets like the BBC. They, too, have to compete for the audience to justify their funding, with the additional need to diffentiate themselves from the commercials without seeming "pro-government." In the case of the US non-commercials there is also a need to fish for private foundation money, which more and more means the approval of corporate and academic power-seekers who align themselves with totalitarian political elements. |

| #6 ...Further proof that Muslim Terrorism is an Iternational Crime Syndicate masquerading as a political religious "insurgency", complete with a co-opted BM to give legitimacy to a band of criminally funded, drug addicted, murdering rapists. And a band of SELF DESCRIBED, SELF CONFESSED Muslim murderers, at that. (as recently captured documents by coalition forces have revealed, alZarqawri himself justifying the indiscriminate killing of Muslims, ostensibly, one must presume, in "the name of Allah". ) But the BM has sided with the "insurgient" form of ritual mass Muslim killing-killers bacuase they share with them the fundamental Marxist organizing principle of destroying America and our way of life. Too bad for any /muslims not bent on violence; they'll be swalllowed whole because BM, (Big Media or Big Mother "meet the FoPPers", take your pick) has found them "impure" . Just as the K'mher Rouge (RED, in English) did, when they worked and starved 3 millions to death in Cambidia following the politicial weak knee-ed sell out of 57,000 of our soldiers in southeast Asia. Offering Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos as concession in exchange for the containment of the spread of communism there. As opposed to the further spread of the this vile, murderous ideology to Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Thailand etc. All because the BM, knowing we would prevail, having prevailed in the abyssmal Tet offensive, and having won every battle in Vietnam, sent WallDer Krakenkeit (the WallDer Duranty of his time) out to lie, saying the Tet offensive, was not just a defeat for the American forces there, but a disaster. Don't believe me? just ask Joan Baez, who, along with others, publically apologized, in a full page newspaper ad, for opposing the war, on learning of the 3 millions murdered. Thanks Big Media, you blood thirsty, blood sucking vampires, with you pagan ritualistic baby sacrifices, your "just let her die" ghoulish lust for murder. For your sedition, your treason. Your unique brand of narcissistic puritanism. All your -isms. your Nanny-police Gestapos. Go back to Hell and stay there this time. Or at least let the votes be counted, without yourinterfearance, your lawsuits, your packed courts in Florida, so we can at least keep you out of positions of responsibility. Go back to your court-ordered pornography, your filth, your "everybody does it" nihilism. Yours is not just an experiment that failed, yours is a catastrophe, a disaster, perpetrated by you and your bio-ill-ethical mad "scientists". You are not needed anymore, if you ever were. We will, we shall defends us, without your moral eqivalence, your political correctness, your lies, and your un-holy alliances, with the other, latest cult of murder and, without your "help". thanks, but no thanks. DISMISSED! |
