“On Feb. 11, 1998, Hillary Clinton told reporters that the Internet needed an “editing” or “gatekeeping” function. The World Wide Web was out of control, she said. It needed to be reined in. Five years later, Hillary’s dream is on the verge of being realized.
The McCain-Feingold Act of 2002 empowers federal judges and Federal Election Commissioners to determine who is allowed to say what about political candidates in all electronic media. On Sept. 18, 2004, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered the FEC to extend its enforcement of McCain-Feingold to the Internet.
In the face of a massive outcry from bloggers, the FEC backed down from fully implementing Judge Kollar-Kotelly’s order. However, the order stands. Sooner or later, it will be enforced.
Proposals are already on the table to require bloggers to register with the government and to report to the FEC any election-related blogging they undertake as “political contributions” subject to campaign finance law.”
Hillary and Her communist pals want to control what people can say, write, and even think, a very scary proposition indeed. The question is, are we as American citizens going to sit idly by while they strip us of all of our liberties, or are we going to put up one hell of a fight!
“How did we get to this point?
Thats a very legitimite question! How did we get to this point?
“The simple answer is that we failed to treat the Clinton threat as seriously as we once treated the Nixon threat. Nixon’s abuses were aggressively investigated and punished. The Clintons’ abuses were swept under the carpet.
Nixon’s political machine evaporated following his resignation. The Clinton machine has only grown stronger with each passing year. Today, the Clintons effectively control the Democratic Party. The McCain-Feingold Act is largely their handiwork.
You won’t hear about any of this from major media.”
Thats right folks! The communists that control the American news media are not going to tell you anything about this little scam of hillary’s, in fact, there part of it!
“The whole truth about Hillary
The rise and fall of the Clinton co-presidency presents a parable of good vs. evil more dramatic, in some ways, than Nixon’s ouster. Its heroes were real-life Davids facing a real-life Goliath – unlike Woodward and Bernstein, who represented a mighty media empire in the full flush of its power.
The heroes of the Clinton drama did not succeed in forcing their adversaries from office. But they saved America – at least temporarily – from a 16-year Clinton co-presidency. Hillary Clinton was registered with the FEC as a presidential candidate for the 2000 race. The outpouring of Clinton scandal coverage from Fox News, talk radio and the Internet forced her to back down from this plan.
Today, as Mrs. Clinton prepares to retake the White House in 2008, it is more vital than ever to clarify who she is and how she behaved the last time she occupied the West Wing.
It is also past time to give credit where it is due – to honor the New Media heroes who did what Woodward and Bernstein only pretended to do; who rose from the grass roots, with limited resources, and without Woodward and Bernstein’s high-level connections; who defied an outlaw White House, endured government repression, and rescued our Republic from a fatal corruption.
These are the men and women of what I call the Web Underground – pioneers of Web news who began their work years before anyone heard of the blogosphere, dissident voices who got their message out through online subscription services such as Prodigy; newsgroups such as alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater; and later through websites such as WorldNetDaily.com, NewsMax.com, Townhall.com and FrontPageMagazine.com, as well as activist message boards such as FreeRepublic.com and Lucianne.com.”
Thank God that there are a few of us with common sense left in this nation who are clear minded enough to realize a dangerous situation, when we see one. Thanks to conservative media pioneers of like Rush Limbaugh, and other talk show hosts, we have given Hillary and her commie pals a beating they’ll never forget, but we can’t stop now. The liberal commies want to shut us all up once and for all, we must never be sillent, our freedom and future depends on it.
“Thanks to a veritable mass-media blackout, most Americans have no idea that such allegations were ever raised against the Clintons.
In a May 22, 2004, broadcast, Rush Limbaugh offered these thoughts on the war between Old and New Media – a war between rival storytellers whose outcome will largely determine what future generations know and believe about our time. Limbaugh said:
We’re not going to win this in my lifetime, The history of this is going to be written long after all of us are buried and in heaven, because the people alive now who are writing about it are the people who are losing. They are not getting it right … But at some point, folks … we on the right, in the New Media, Internet, talk radio, Fox News … we’re going to become the majority, and the seismic shift, whenever that happens, let’s just say 50 years from now or 75 … it is those people who are not even born yet, who are going to look back and they’re going to research this, without any bias of having been involved in it, and they’re going to write the history of what’s going on now. And it will be the accurate history.”
“Hillary’s secret police
As mentioned earlier, Hillary Clinton told reporters on Feb. 11, 1998, that the Internet needed an “editing” or “gatekeeping” function. She neglected to mention at the press conference that she was already working on the problem. Indeed, she had been waging a secret war to silence Internet dissidents for the last four years. She continues waging it today.
In the Clinton White House, Hillary played the role of enforcer. She commanded what came to be known as the Clinton “secret police,” a covert operation comparable to Nixon’s Plumbers, dedicated to suppressing evidence of Clinton crimes. “Hillary is not merely an aider and abettor to this secret police operation. She has been its prime instigator and organizer,” wrote the late Barbara Olson in her 1999 book “Hell to Pay.”
Mrs. Olson was in a position to know. A former federal prosecutor, she served as chief investigative counsel for Congressman William F. Clinger Jr.’s House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, which probed Hillary’s role in the Travelgate and Filegate scandals in 1995 and 1996.
During the Clinton years, journalists who probed too deeply into Clinton scandals walked a dangerous path. At the very least, they would be pulled from the Clinton beat, their stories discredited and their careers tarnished. In some cases, they were beaten, wiretapped, framed on criminal charges, fired and blacklisted. They experienced burglaries, IRS audits, smear campaigns and White-House-orchestrated lawsuits.
Some of the White House “secret police” were private detectives, such as Terry Lenzner, Jack Palladino and Anthony Pellicano. Others were Clinton loyalists embedded in federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, the CIA, the IRS, the National Transportation Safety Board and so on. Many of these people are still in place, and still doing the Clintons’ dirty work. I call them the Shadow Team.
In their effort to suppress negative press coverage, the Clintons encountered little resistance from Big Media. Major news organizations were easily brought to heel, their parent companies being acutely vulnerable to federal regulatory action. Even Fox News and talk radio had to tread lightly on some issues, lest their FCC licenses receive unwelcome scrutiny.”
The Internet, however, lay beyond Hillary’s control.
Hillary’s Shadow Team issued a secret report in 1995 titled “The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce.” It characterized the Internet as a dangerously “unregulated” medium, potentially devastating in its ability to bypass the controlled, corporate newspapers and networks. In Hillary’s view, the Internet presented a grave threat to Clinton power. For that reason, her secret police persecuted Internet dissidents with special ferocity.
And so the Web Underground arose, taking up the mantle of crusading journalism which Big Media had forfeited, exposing wrongdoing that mainstream journalists dared not acknowledge.”
We must keep the internet free from the commies who want to take away our right to free speech. Now i realize that free speech has it’s limits, I do not consider porn to be free speech by any means, but again the commie libs defend it as such.
“Hillary’s shadow government
The struggle continues today. The Clintons may be out of the White House, but Hillary’s covert network remains powerfully alive.
In October 2004, David Horowitz and I published a three-part expose at FrontPageMagazine.com called, “The Shadow Party.” It revealed how Hillary Clinton and George Soros had joined forces to create a network of radical billionaires, non-profit foundations, 527 committees, public employee unions and leftwing nongovernmental organization’s.
This “Shadow Party” has evolved into a veritable government-in-exile, with enormous influence in every sector of corporate, cultural, political, academic, financial and public life. Its most successful project to date has been the suppression of free speech through the McCain-Feingold Act.
On Nov. 30, 1994 , three weeks after Republicans swept Congress in the mid-term elections, George Soros announced in a speech that he wished to “do something about … the distortion of our electoral process by the excessive use of TV advertising.”
Eight months later, Democrat Sen. Russ Feingold obligingly rose on the Senate floor to denounce soft-money abuses, thus setting in motion the juggernaut that would ultimately give us the McCain-Feingold Act of March 27, 2002.
Also in 1994, Republican Sen. John McCain set up the Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues, which is heavily funded by Soros’ Open Society Institute. This non-profit think-tank would become a nerve center for the campaign finance reform lobby.
Perhaps most significantly, 1994 marked the beginning of a $140-million scheme which would eventually become known as the “Pewgate” scandal. That year, a group of non-profit foundations associated with the Soros network began bankrolling “experts” and front groups whose purpose was to bamboozle Congress into thinking that millions of Americans were clamoring for “campaign finance reform” – even though they were not.
Ten years later, in March 2004, a former program officer of the Pew Charitable Trusts named Sean P. Treglia spilled the beans on the conspiracy to an appreciative audience of leftwing reporters and academics at USC’s Annenberg School for Communication. New York Post reporter Ryan Sager obtained a videotape of the speech and broke the Pewgate story on March 17, 2005.
Campaign finance reform “didn’t have a constituency,” Treglia admitted on the tape. So the Pewgate conspirators set out to create one. Says Treglia,
The idea was to create an impression that a mass movement was afoot, that everywhere the politicians looked, in academic institutions, in the business community, in religious groups, in ethnic groups, everywhere, people were talking about reform.
To this end, a network of foundations – which included, among others, the Pew Charitable Trusts, Bill Moyers’ Schumann Center for Media and Democracy and George Soros’ Open Society Institute – dispensed $140 million between 1994 and 2004. Millions went to self-styled “good government” groups such as the Center for Public Integrity, Democracy 21 and John McCain’s Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues.
Pewgate’s tentacles reached even to the U.S. Supreme Court. Many of the legal arguments upon which the court based its Dec. 10, 2003, decision to uphold McCain-Feingold derived from data now deemed to have been fraudulent – data cooked up by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, a Soros-funded operation which received millions in Pewgate lucre.
“[A]lmost half the footnotes relied on by the Supreme Court in upholding [McCain-Feingold] are research funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts,” Treglia crows in the videotape. Treglia currently sits on the board of the Pew-funded Institute for Policy, Democracy & the Internet, which seeks to tighten regulation of political speech on the Web.”
Don’t let liberal commies fool you, they are floating in the big money! We always here them complaining about the rich republicans, it’s all just a big scam on the part of liberal commie democrats.
“Why Hillary matters
With the passage of McCain-Feingold, Soros’ Shadow Party scored its first great victory. Now that same network busies itself grooming Hillary Clinton for the presidency.
For a first-term junior senator, Hillary has acquired extraordinary power on Capitol Hill. She can make or break virtually any of her fellow Democrats. As chairwoman of the Democratic Steering and Coordination Committee, she can block or approve her colleagues’ committee assignments. More important, her political machine exercises de facto control over the party’s purse strings. The Shadow Party raised some $300 million for Democrats during the 2004 election.
Regarding the Democratic Party, MoveOn PAC director and Soros operative Eli Pariser boasted after the last election, “Now it’s our party. We bought it, we own it.”
“Hillary Rodham Clinton has … utterly [taken] over the Senate Democrats and the party itself – inside and out – and she has done it in a mere two years,” marvels R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. in his 2004 book “Madame Hillary: The Dark Road to Power.”
Hillary’s secret police will no doubt play a role in smoothing the way for her planned return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Likewise, the Internet will figure prominently in the effort to stop her.”
Americans must revolt against the commie libs, and keep hillary out of 1600 Pennsylvainnia Ave. at all costs! In fact we should get her removed from the Senate all together. The future is ours to decide, will we choose our demise at the hands of communists like Hillary Clinton, or choose to restore our freedom and liberty?
I for one will be voting to restore my freedom, it is far to precious to trust to any liberal, democrat or republican!
