Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

9/11 Rally Huge but ignored



The picture above belies, the stories in the press about the size of the rally at Ground Zero on 9/11 were absurd.  The AP reported the rally contained about 1,000 people. Little content was discussed and there was much talk of a pro mosque demonstrate. 

Just see if you can discern the edge of the crowd, on this one view. 

Of course, the media is lying.  It is part of the Big Brother's  Newspeak. 

"Journalists" believe their job, and I have heard this directly, is to promote a message.  You go to Columbia so you can promote social justice, not report the news. Also, you can matriculate, but not attend, if you want to be president.  Now you an understand why the various fascist states arrest journalists as spies.  That is what they are in their eyes.

What is far more interesting than the obvious lying are the comments to the image.  I just grabbed a bunch from the top.  The + followed by a number indicate the favorable votes; I don't see any negatives.  It is worth the times to read down the comments.  People are wide awake and every time  the statists pull an old tactic, it is seen for what it is - it puts into doubt the past.

It is like Toto has pulled back the curtain and revealed the guy from Kansas is really the Wizard of Ox.  The continued pretense of the Wizard become insulting.

This will be an ongoing problem until the ratings suffer so bad they have to change their business model. For some strange reason most of Hollywood falls for this liberal BS and i just don't understand. One would think they would mirror the sentiment of the national majority. It's okay to have an opposing opinion but its career suicide to displease your audience. The more they expose themselves as to their politics the more I know who to boycott.

The MSM is contributing to their own demise. They think that if they don't report it, no one will know. Anybody seen that 'Cops' episode when the fleeing suspects hid underneath the upside down kiddy pool in someone's backyard? Then when the cop pulled it off them, they lay very still thinking 'if I don't move, maybe they won't see me.' It does not work that way. MSM: lead, follow, or get out of the way!

The MSM are traitors to freedom period. Liars thieves and manipulators of truth. They should feel damn lucky they are not held accountable as it was in the past. People would be in prison or be hanging by the end of a rope for treason.

When I was a child, I used to cover my eyes and declare,"You can't see me!" Cute in a kid. In a news organization - not so much.

I liked the last sentence in this piece:

It’s going to be a long, hard struggle. Another reader summed it up: “We are going to have to march through hell, to save America.”

Correction, we ARE in hell because of this Administration. We have "one" vote upcoming, which will be our only chance to claw our way back out.

I suppose the idea of drastically under reporting the numbers at these rallies is to make anyone watching or reading who is supportive of, and in agreement with those attending feel that they are in a tiny tiny minority, and hence should keep their concerns to themselves.

Thank god for the FREE SPEECH on the internet and hand held video capability in cell phones. George Orwell's 1986, where BIG BROTHER is always watching may be true now, but he never figured on LIL' BROTHER having the same capability. We're watching too~!

North Korea's state run media is more honest than the leftwing propagandists at AP, Reuters, CNN, MSLSD, NYTimes, Washington Post, LaTimes, etc. Fortunately few people look to those rags for news.

It seems as if the democrats/liberals in the media are still under the impression they are the gatekeepers of information; this hasn't been the case for nearly 2 decades but since they're living in their little bubble they'll be the last to find out. Democrats/liberals believe their constituents are dumb, and you can't blame them. After all, no one with an IQ above 50 would have voted for an affirmative action community organizer who's a political neophyte and didn't even have the courage to vote Yea or Nay, instead Hussein opted for the cowards "present."

Democrats will tell the schmucks that vote for them that President Bush blew open the deficit, despite the fact that Hussein tripled the deficit under Bush. So how can they say this with a straight face? They think you're stupid.

Democrats will tell the schmucks that vote for them that President Bush brought about high unemployment, what they don't tell you is that Hussein has more than doubled Bush's unemployment rate. Again, they think you're stupid.

Hussein and the democrats spent nearly a trillion on "shovel ready" and "green" jobs with nothing to show for it. Now they want to spend $50 Billion more on the same promises. Why? They think you're stupid.

Hussein and the democrats tell you 95% of Americans will get a tax cut, what they don't tell you is that A) it's impossible considering 95% of Americans do not pay income taxes B) the cost of medical insurance will go up despite liberal claims that it will go down. How can they get away with this? They think you're stupid.

Show them who's stupid this November.

Thanks Pamela Geller for setting the record straight. I watched one of the news reports where the media was implying the pro-mosque side was bigger. I could tell by the way they were cropping the pictures they were lying. But I surely didn't know that it was such a huge whopper of a lie --- until now.

The MSM only preaches to their ever-shrinking choir now. While it's useful to point out their perfidy, I just don't care much anymore.

Forget the MSM. They are irrelevent. Stick with the new alternative media. They're rising while the MSM crashes.

Ah, the numbers game. The MSM can keep on lying about attendance figures until the dems are voted out of office. Then, I dont know what excuse they will come up with, but I am sure it will be a doozy.

Islamic scholar Abul Ala Maududi said it all :

"Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a state on the basis of its own ideology and programme, regardless of which nation assumes the role of the standard-bearer of Islam or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State. Islam requires the earth—not just a portion, but the whole planet .... because the entire mankind should benefit from the ideology and welfare programme [of Islam] ... Towards this end, Islam wishes to press into service all forces which can bring about a revolution and a composite term for the use of all these forces is Jiahd.... the objective of the Islamic ‘ Jihād’ is to eliminate the rule of an un-Islamic system and establish in its stead an Islamic system of state rule."

Great work Pam! These bastards in the press are on the short list for an attitude adjustment. They lie, obfuscate, anything for the liberal narrative, we’re hip to it and the day of reckoning will come, sooner or later.
