In Canada, most of the daily newspapers, the Global television network and most of the specialty cable channels are owned by the Israel Asper family of WInnipeg.

The president of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is Robert Rabinovitch of Montreal. Prior to becoming president of the CBC, Rabinovitch was a high ranking executive with the Bronfman empire.

Not a Southern Baptist in the whole bunch, huh. How depressing. No Episcopalians either, and that REALLY distresses me.

Let him spew his venom. It serves as a reminder that all is NOT sweetness and light out there beyond the boundaries of this forum and that we must all be aware of it every waking minute.
Racism and hatred flourish best when no one speaks out against them and their promulgators. If crap like this is pulled, then others are deprived of the knowledge that it not only exists but is doing its best to spread its corruption.
If you think this is bad, there are sites out there that would curl your hair. So spread the word. The hate-mongers and racists are among us.

greg stephens, isn't it nice that the lizards can't get through the moats that surround the palaces where everyone in England lives and moves and have their being? (When I was a child, I swear I thought that alll people in England lived either in a castle or else were Dickensian characters moving furtively through the clammy air of the nighttime fog. There were no classes between. Not only that, but the denizens of the castles outnumbered the derelicts. And my poor daughter picked up on that, I'm afraid. One day deep in thought, she said, Mama? Do royalty ever marry mortals?)

William Shatner has had considerable difficulty over the years in controlling 2 things, his ego and his libido, but he has never controlled the media. I hope this helps clarify the situation a bit.

I must say I am appalled by the hate propaganda that is being spewed against lizards on this thread. Lizards are noble creatures.

Bloody hell! I don't have a clue who controls the media, but I wish I did. I would give you people what for! And I would ensure that lizards got the respect they deserve, rather than being used as surrogate sex partners for depraved dipsomaniacs, and then being hurled at fat policemen in pubs!

As I read the article I thought back to the days when Lyndon LaRouche was running for president. He would start off his speeches with a few things that made sense and then he would just kind of jump tracks and next thing you knew he was accusing Nancy Reagan of running a major drug ring.

Well, it makes sense that whoever wrote this stuff wouldn't even affix his or her name to it.

I was hoping the article would stick more with who is controling the media and less with a witch hunt. I have been very leary of the media and do recognize the media's power to manipulate public opionion. If, for instant, the media decided tomorrow to harpoon George, Jr. and all repeated a story that his approval ratings were slipping (which they probably are...) then within a week there would be at least a 10% drop in his approval ratings. Hmmmmmm? Does anyone really doubt this?

I have tuned into Pacifica and couple it with the pablum of the main stream media to try to find the elusive truth.

Ebbie asked about alternatives. Well, the Green Party is an alternative. If the Green Party gets it's 5%, then it gets into the national presidential debates and real policy alternatives will, irregarless of the media's wishes, be offered to the American people to ponder.

Lastly... Yes, the writer of the article tells us the media tries to manipulate us in the first two or three paragraphs and then goes on to try to manipulate the readers in the last 95% of the text. I think most Catfolk see right thru this not so carefully disguised anti-Jewish narrowly focused rant.

I didn't make it clear enough that I was poking at the critter to make it lash out with its inevitable implication as to what, in its mind, should be done.

My brother is an ex-Amishman; he is in business with a Quaker and a Jew. That's right- the Jews are running everything! ipso facto and all that.

It would be funny if it weren't so unfunny.

Bobert - LaRouche is still around & probably still running. (Saaay, maybe he could make it into the runoff in France, these days.)

Interesting how U.S. Aryan-nation "white rights"-type antisemites now make common cause (they should pardon the expression) with Arab (and other noncaucasian) extremist Jew-haters. Straaaaange bedfellows. Ideological miscegenation comes to the KKK. What's a good ole boy to think?

Let me settle this issue. My son, a brilliant 3rd-year Journalism student, near-future Pulitzer prizewinner, and Roman Catholic, controls the media already. So shaddup, already.

Ah Greg, but what religion are these Lizards and what political group do they belong to ?

Seriously though, we on the folk music scene, have to realise that we are a Minority group and big business concerns itself with Majority interests. In fact one of functions of the media and those who control it, is to ensure that the maximum number of people belong to a homogenous group, buying the same things and adhering to the same fashion criteria which change in a regular cotrolled way. This ensures that a limited range of products can be mass produced and sold for premium prices while they are fashionable only to be replaced by another range when market saturation occurs.

The folk scene challenges this in many ways. Much of the music is spontaneously performed - usually in a way that doesn't produce any spin-offs for big business. In fact it might even divert money from the mainstream music industry. Even worse - horror of horrors - it keeps recycling the same products - many of which have been around for years - sometimes hundreds of years. A large percentage of folkies tend to be non-establishment loose cannons with views which challenge the uniform media controlled economic world - and sometimes even write songs about these beliefs.

Am I just being paranoid, but could legislation like the UK PEL law be just the beginning........

I read somewhere recently that studies show that Tyranosaurous Rex couldn't possibly have run very fast, because of the muscle mass that would be required. Considering the fast breaking pace of today's news, I should therefore be clear that the Velociraptors are the ones who do all the work, and T-Rex sits back in the office CONTROLLING THE MEDIA. Duh!!! Iguanas is breakfast.

For a long time a large chunk of the UK media has been controlled by the Rothermere familu.
The late Lord Rothermere (father of the current owner of Associated newspapers) was a genial buffer and military hisotyr buff and an entertaining dinner companion. Hid did, however, have a quaint belief in astrology and crackpot Celestine prophecy-type theories and a worrying fascination with Hitler and Napoleon. And politically he was somewhere to the right of Louis XIV.
His father was ever worse; a friend of Halifax, and a fervent appeaser who, like the Duke of Windsor, saw Nazism as a force for good in Europe. In the 1930s his Daily Mail actively supported the far right and even gave instructions on how to "make your own black shirt" to support Oswald Mosely - whose fascist followers brought terror to London's Jewish East End.
Today his grandson's Daily Mail whips up "Middle England" into a frenzy about the "threat" from foreigners, "bogus asylum seekers", blacks and homosexuals in a way that makes Southern Baptists sound dangerously liberal.
Some Jewish conspiracy, eh?

Mind you, there are some puzzling things. Has anyone noticed that most kosher restaurants are, in fact, run by Jews?

You're right, Gervase. And are you aware that every single person who ate falafel in 1880 is now DEAD.
It was in 1880 that the Zionist organiztion began sending immigrants to settle in what is now Israel. Was this all part of a sinister plot to corner the Gefilte fish market?
Gotta og. My clairvoyant sense tells me that I'm about to be abducted by Aliens and I haven't fed the cats yet.
