> This is fascinating, Peter. I have often advised people on the use of subtlety, if not stealth, in such situations. It's the difference between hitting the pigs with a brick or slowly turning up the heat until the smell of bacon is present in the air... Schiff's name is a respected name in the world we live in though.

Paranoia is never helpful. While it is true that fear is the human animal's defense mechanism trhat lets us know when danger to the corpus is near, paranoia can only lead us astray, lead is into insular self-defeating behavior and poor judgment calls.

Also it is pessimistic. In my view both optimism and pessimism are useless in the actual apprehension of truth; both the optimist and the pessimist can tend to see what they CHOOSE to see in certain situations rather than what is actually going on. Even if you are one of those who says there are no absolute truths like my neo-Objectivist friends have been heard to say; paranoia is no substitute for having a grip on the issues as they are happening. If you see a whole lot you run the chance of falling into the trap of the analytical, or becoming "top-heavy" as chinese philosophers have accused westerners of being; intellectually full but having little ballast in the heart and root regions.

Paranoia is always a sure sign of imbalance.



As a proof I'll reference a few names: Woodward and Bernstein. They had what would be the biggest story of the American state when they came out with it: Watergate dwarfed any scandal since in terms of significance. The reporters could have easily SAT on that story, fearful of sharks like George Herbert Walker Bush who was (i believe) a ranking CIA operative during that time period. But they "got" Nixon.

Another name:> Robert Lederer.

Subject: Robert Lederers "Apology" to the CIA Controlled Media

From: "International Advocates for Health Freedom" jham@iahf.com

Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 20:45:56 -0400

IAHF LIST: Robert Lederer has been exposing the genocidal spraying in NYC to control the West Nile Virus, (which CIA created) and he comes to some interesting conclusions about the degree of CIA involvement in our media here that are well researched and very much worth being aware of.

Robert Lederers Apology to the Media

Boy, do I feel stupid. I've been blaming hard-working reporters for biased coverage of the West Nile Virus issue, their silence on the Manhattan Institute's Nazi-CIA-Eugenics link and for refusing to report on the Bush family's close connection to Hitler. In my naivete I was implying that the CIA was somehow influencing their coverage.

How ignorant can one person get?

Now I know better. After following a series of leads starting from an obscure article found on the internet the whole issue is much clearer and I can announce my findings.

The media is not influenced by the CIA-the media is the CIA.

Not that I can claim any credit for this insight. There are hundreds of carefully researched articles and even entire books about this subject-not to mention a Congressional report specifically about it.

What began the process of pulling the blinders from my eyes was one sentence in a press release announcing Ronald Reagan's nomination of William Casey-the founder of the Manhattan Institute-to be his Director of the CIA.

The release mentioned that among Mr. Casey's many accomplishments was that he ran the Reagan campaign, conducted secret intelligence operations during WWII [with Nazi ally and board member of I.G. Farben, Allen Dulles] was the chair of Operation Rescue [a CIA front which helped thousands of former Nazis emigrate to the U.S.], and manipulated the stock market as chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It went on to note that Casey was also the lead counsel [and as I later found out-top stockholder] in Capital Cities, the communications company that owned ABC until it was bought by Disney in 1996. He held that textbook example of a conflict of interest position while serving as CIA director.

Following that lead I found that many of Capital Cities founders were also formerly involved in intelligence, many of them having worked with Casey under Allen Dulles-the first CIA director.

In other words, ABC was owned by the CIA during the Gulf War and throughout the Reagan, Bush and much of the Clinton administrations. It was bought in 1996 by Disney, a company with many allegations of its own to having a CIA-mind control connection, whose creator had long been considered an FBI informer. Perhaps that explains why Manhattan Institute poster boy for a police state Rudy Giuliani's staged radio show is on WABC.

Okay, you say, so ABC was owned by the CIA-that still leaves two other major networks and thousands of newspapers and radio stations that aren't, right? CBS and NBC are owned by Westinghouse and General Electric, the nation's two top suppliers of military hardware, satellites, nuclear reactors and spy equipment. One might be excused for imagining a government connection there as well.

According to an article by investigative reporter Carl Bernstein-"The CIA and the Media", Rolling Stone, 10/20/77-prominent US media owners and journalists who have knowingly worked for the CIA include William Paley (CBS), Arthur Sulzberger (NY Times), Henry Luce (Time/Life), William Buckley (National Review), Ben Bradlee (Washington Post), and hundreds of others.

"By the early 1950s," writes former Village Voice reporter Deborah Davis in Katharine the Great, "Frank Wisner [head of Allen Dulles' CIA clandestine operation to bring thousands of top Nazis to America] 'owned' respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles, plus at least four to six hundred reporters, according to a former CIA analyst." This CIA network of top U.S. media contacts was called Operation Mockingbird and was directly overseen by CIA director Allen Dulles, the Nazis' number one coordinator between American corporations and the Third Reich.

"You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month." CIA operative discussing with Philip Graham, editor Washington Post, on the availability and prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories. From: "Katherine The Great," by Deborah Davis, New York: Sheridan Square Press, 1991.

In a 1988 speech at CIA headquarters, Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham said, "We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets, and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows." -Quoted in Journalism and the CIA: The Mighty Wurlitzer by Daniel Brandt http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/8425/CIAPRESS.HTM

While we watch these absurdly hypocritical Congressional hearings on violence in the media, let's keep this CIA-media connection in mind. If the media is peddling violence, sex, drugs and depravity to our kids, we have to wonder what is in it for the CIA.

Perhaps the Nazi-influenced CIA is conditioning America's youth for the fascist police state they have been working to install here since the end of WWII. Perhaps the content of the media is not just a quest for profits but something far worse. Perhaps these hyper-violent video games; blood, sex and rape filled movies; Eugenics-inspired 'eliminate the competition' shows like Survivor and steroid-fueled stereotypes of maleness like Fox's and UPN's wrestling operas-with personalities seemingly modeled on the guards at a Nazi death camp-are training the stone-cold Storm Troopers of the future.

I no longer have any problem understanding why, despite the media being given Mayor Giuliani's Chem-bio Handbook showing Malathion to be a deadly nerve gas, it was never once mentioned in any article; why West Nile Virus keeps being described as, "never before seen in the Western Hemisphere" despite the fact that at least three U.S. government and Rockefeller-connected labs in the NY area have been experimenting with it for decades; why we are told every day via television, radio and newspapers that toxic insecticides being indiscrimenently sprayed on our city are, "safe" and "non-toxic" despite thousands of scientific reports to the contrary; why despite an uncountable number of articles on the candidacy of G.W. Bush his family's extensive ties to the Nazis are never mentioned; why every article on the Manhattan Institute that mentions William Casey as its founder leaves out his role in bringing Nazis to America; why no names of West Nile Virus "victims" are ever released; why I've observed the entire media standing with their cameras and tape recorders turned off at certain press conferences and rallies and why so many people have told me they stopped watching television, reading newspapers and voting after doing a few years of research on who really runs the government.

Again, I apologize to any reporters I might have offended by my critical comments over the years. I didn't realize who you actually worked for.

NY Post 9/15/2000 BUSH MADE BUNDLE ON MOVIE VIOLENCE "George W. Bush, who has decried the "pervasiveness of violence" in Hollywood, served on the board of a movie company that financed more than two dozen R-rated films, including a gory 1986 slasher flick."

Now THIS is a guy who is working hard: and i bet his paranoia level is low. God knows he is producing a lot; as much as Schiff.

Incidentally Peter you can find more like this by going to google.com and entering the search perams "Nazi+Bush"
