Demand that Left Gatekeepers Cover Ellsberg Story
GeorgeWashington Thu, 07/20/2006 - 1:30am
I invite you to write to all left gatekeepers and demand that they cover the Ellsberg story.
Here's my letter (if you can improve on it, please do):
Dear {editor or reporter's name},
Is it news when the most famous whistleblower in modern times speaks out on an issue that most refuse to address?
Is it news when one of the most famous anti-war activists speaks out about a war-related issue?
I believe that the answer to both questions has to be yes.
Therefore, please reflect on whether Mr. Ellsberg might know a little more about some issues than you:

Thank you for covering this important story,

I emailed Counterpunch.
I emailed Counterpunch. Someone should send it to Chomsky and Goodman. Noam's email is Chomsky@mit.edu. He's extremely diligent when it comes to returning emails, allegedly spending up to 7 hours a day at the task. Worth a shot, although I don't think he'll change his position (he's extremely stubborn and seldom admits error). Goodman might give the story some airplay though, provided someone like Chip Berlet is there to play debunker.
Let's send it to Rachel
Let's send it to Rachel Maddow, Jerry Springer, Ed Schultz, Sam Seder, Alan Combs, Markos Malitas, Truthout.com, Buzzflash.com and MoveOn.org.
and whoever else I'm forgetting!!!
Sam Danner has been on
Sam Danner has been on Michael Collins Piper show at http://www.rbnlive.com three times in the past week - he seems a reasonable bloke but it is impossible to tell whether he saw the Global Hawk or not.
bb: The interview was last
bb: The interview was last Friday. The earlier post links to a 10-minute excerpt of the actual interview (which I've listened to).
A buddy, who is a 9/11 mover and shaker, previously gave Ellsberg a copy of the New Pearl Harbor and said that Ellsberg has privately questioned 9/11 for a long time. And he's previously supported Sibel Edmonds.
Its just now he's ready to go more public.
Daniel Ellsberg is saying
Daniel Ellsberg is saying that if the United States strikes out at Iran and there follows a "terrorist" attack on U.S. soil, it is most likely that martial law will go into effect. Muslims and other Middle Easterners as well as dissenters and critics of the Bush Administration will likely be rounded up and put in the Civilian Inmate Labor Prisons. Is this a reasonable assertion?

And, truthsearching 2006 .... Halliburton is building $300 million worth of detention centers in the US, and they are not for illegal immigrants.
Alernet says they are for Muslims www.alternet.org/rights/32647/
I say they are for political enemies ... like truthtellers. We just have to make sure there are more truthsearchers and truthtellers than there is space in those centers.

The things that stood out to
The things that stood out to me were how nonchalantly Nixon talked about Judges being in their pocket, etc... Their connections to the newspapers, etc... really blew my mind.

And now: 2003
That goes to step number two, which is that the western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy. Now, in a practical sense, what does that mean? It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive casualty-producing event somewhere in the western world—it may be in the United States of America—that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass-casualty-producing event. Which, in fact, then begins to potentially unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps: very, very important.

I was wondering when someone would show up to play "Sideshow Bob" to Tommy Franks' "Krusty the Klown" act.
It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the TIme Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let's do the time warp again...
Let's do the time warp again!
Generals. Spooks. Martial Law. Oh My!
Oprah, Tom Daschle, Michael
Oprah, Tom Daschle, Michael Moore, Al Franken, Jon Stewart, James Carville, and George Clooney could all come out questioning 9/11 and ONLY the right wing blogs and media would cover it to say "look at those crazy lefts"...the left would COMPLETELY IGNORE it.
Chris is going to get onto me for these comments...but, doesnt it rattle ya a little more when Democrats go out of their way to call us nutjobs then when Republican Bush supporting lackies do this? Because a lot of the right thinks IRaq has magical WMD's and Bush won fair and square...so they are already delusional.
I expect the right to call
I expect the right to call us nutjobs because they are morons.
I don't know exactly why the left do it as much as they do.

Not sure if any "gatekeepers" can take my shit. But it feels good to post it.

I just emailed the Air America Crew this letter, i altered it abit. sent emails to
Randi Rhoades, Al Franken (as if!), Majority Report, Stacy Taylor and his peeps @ 1360am, Ed Schultz's producer
not holding my breath. I wish Randi would stop dancing around the whole LIHOP thing...
no pocky, i see your pioint,
no pocky, i see your pioint, i fight these faux liberals every day about 9/11. you gotta remember that establishment Dems like Franken,Carville and the other names you listed have the same ambitions as establishment Republicans and that is to get the maximum amount of exposure and in turn money.if James Carville was to come out about 9/11 truth he would never called by CNN to appear again, the various Democratic politicians he consults would fire him and he would suddenly make a LOT less money.these websites are no different, KOS and C&L LOVE the attention they get from establishment Dems, they LOVE the plugs on CNN. they know damn well that speaking about 9/11 truth would dry up those plugs and attention.its set up that way.the more timid you are the better chances you have in this "business".the only reason i get on you about bashing "the left" sometimes is because you seem to think "the left" is somehow going to save us and break 9/11 truth.we must force their collective hands, the lefty blogs and politicians wont do it for us.
and you have to remember the
and you have to remember the MSM is pretty much rightwing, hence the democrats moving farther and farther to the right every year.
Dear George Washington, I
Dear George Washington,
I would write My letter about Ellsburg as follows:
Dear Editor,
I would like to use qoutes for this and I believe you are a supporter of our "war on terror".
I'll start with George Bush:“I ask every American to find a way to thank those who defend our freedom.”
Daniel Ellsberg is one of those trying to defend our freedom and he has credibility as a whistleblower and anti-war activist that deserves our attention to be heard and published.
But Mr. Ellsberg is deemed,it seems not newsworthy,which begs another quote:
"Take the case of Iraq: all the wounded children, the accidentally killed mothers, the homeless, the workless, the understaffed hospitals, the bad water, the sheer rage and hopelessness of many caught in the crossfire. We don't see much of that on the news here in America. But everyone else in the world does. It turns out that we're as resistant to certain kinds of truth as totalitarian countries - we who pride ourselves on our free flow of information!"
Tom Fenton, former CBS foreign correspondent
So what We conclude from this is You are taking your cue from the government (our secret one).We know how they think..I leave with this qoute:
"Politicians and the media have conspired to infantilize, to dumb down, the American public. At heart, politicians don't believe that Americans can handle complex truths, and the news media, especially television news, basically agrees."
Tom Fenton, former CBS foreign correspondent.
Need I say or show more?...Let Ellsberg get his say,nationwide.
We demand truth.
Sincerly,
All of us who want truth
