Time to End Media Betrayal of America

It is time for the media to do their job.

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States offers the sacred right of "freedom of the press". This right is absolutely essential in the preserving of our democracy and in guaranteeing the freedoms of all our citizens.

Yet over the last 15 years this sacred right has been abused. In collusion, various media organizations have:

* Purposely biased news and used the news as a means of propaganda, not for informing the public

* Covered up reporting, and in some cases failed entirely to report vital news...vital to America and vital to the world

* Attacked individuals and organizations that do not agree with their ideological positions

* Created news that is false or completely inaccurate

 

* Issued purposely biased "poll" information that attempts to influence public opinion, not measure it

 

* Offer what amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertising and promotion to individuals, organizations, and causes that meet their ideological positions. Not for what is best for the country.

 

The problems facing the United States and the world are very solvable problems. Yet due to the media failure to accurately and objectively report the news they have helped create the following:

 

* The numbers and facts are all right in front of us, we don't have to go into the details...they are self evident. The United States is on the verge of economic collapse, not only today, but for many future generations and possibly may never recover.

 * The current direction of our country, and foreign policy, has led to an unstable world, primarily in the Mid East. This may very well lead to a nuclear war, with the potential of World War III.

 

* For many years during the Cold War era we fought against the evils of socialism and communism. Yet with the support of the media we are now marching America into the depths of socialism, in spite of its' historical and glaring failures, and the devastation that it brings to people.

Twenty years from now, looking back, the greatest betrayal of America will have been by the media, where the media played a major part. During a critical era, where the First Amendment, concerning freedom of the press, was intended to be exercised with full integrity in order to shine a light on truth and facts for the good of America and for the people, the media not only acted contrary to this, but outright betrayed our country.

This will be the media legacy.

 

Yet at this critical juncture in the election of a President of the United States it is not too late. All facts support, if you look at them objectively, that Barack Obama has not only failed as President, but he has failed miserably. Domestically our economy is in shambles. He has exercised federal government over control, not only contrary to our founding as a country, but as actually warned against by our Founders. He is marching America into the depths of socialism. His foreign policy has pushed the world to the brink of nuclear war. Our sovereignty as a nation is threatened. Objective and factual news reporting should reveal all of this if the media were doing their job.

 

As previously stated all of our problems are solvable, some rather easily. What we need is "freedom of the press" as intended. What we need is objective and factual journalism to bring the truth to the American people. What we need is new leadership.

 

It is time for the media to do their job. America depends upon it like no other time in our history.

Vote to Save America

The U.S. economy is in shambles and it is getting worse. We have been operating without a federal budget for well over 3 years and continue massive spending using an avenue of budget circumvention called a "continuing resolution". This is a trick...push it to crisis, then continue spending after minor concessions. Our national debt is over $16 trillion and rapidly increasing at the rate of about $1.3 trillion per year, with no plan to do anything about it. Over 23 million people are out of work or underemployed. There are 47 million people on food stamps, with 1 in 6 people in poverty. The Federal Reserve is flooding the monetary system with new printed money with nothing to back it up that will result in a significant lowering in the value of the dollar and super inflation. Interest rates are being artificially suppressed which is causing still another bubble, while people are already experiencing significant real inflation in the purchase of food / groceries, at the gas pump, in energy costs, with healthcare costs, with all sorts of taxes and fees, and with practically all necessary items to live by.

 

There are approximately 9 million people on federal disability. According to a recent report more than 100 million people are now on some form of welfare, a third of the U.S. population, not counting Medicare or Social Security. Both are laced with significant disability and welfare fraud with no action to do anything about it...in fact it is encouraged.

 

A federally mandated, federally controlled healthcare system was forced upon the American people. A fundamental premise of those who designed it is that money for healthcare should be spent "only for those most productive to society". When it gets into full swing there will be rationing, as intended, seniors and others "not productive to society" will not receive expensive, live saving medical care. They will become expendable. Is this what America has become under Obama? We had the best healthcare system in the world that only needed fine tuning. Yet we have been forced into a system that has already proved to be a failure in Europe and other places. Healthcare for Americans will be significantly worse, if it is available at all to certain groups of people, and rationing will be in place.

 

For many years we fought a Cold War against the evils of socialism and communism. They were believed to be evil ideologies. Yet now we are rapidly moving the United States toward socialism. What has happened to America?

 

The stock market which has the appearance of holding up, may actually be riding on a bubble. With the exception of a few well performing companies (like Apple, for example), much of the trading volume that props up the market is illusionary. The buying is based upon high frequency traders that bid up prices that do not result in real transactional volume. This is the same high frequency trading that led to the 2010 market melt down. High frequency trading accounts for more than half the volume in U.S. stock trading. Not healthy.

 

There is no serious attempt underway to achieve the energy independence that is vital to United States, not only for our economy, but for national defense. Yet this would create millions of jobs and lower costs for Americans. Most disturbing is the fact that energy independence is readily available, all it needs is a committed plan and action. There currently is a stranglehold on business with over regulation that is preventing businesses from succeeding, growing, adding jobs and putting money into the economy. Our space program has been essentially canceled. A program that in the past has produced spin off technology, business and jobs. This has also decreased our status in the world and is a step backward for national defense. Yet countries like China and Russia are moving full speed ahead with their space programs.

 

The Constitution and the Congress have been circumvented by Obama by fiat. Forcing the Catholic Church's institutions and personnel against their will and faith, in violation of the First Amendment, to offer contraception and early abortion services is an abomination, and is only one example. Dictating a change in immigration status of illegal immigrants without Congressional approval is another.

 

The very sovereignty of the United States in under attack. The Obama administration is working with the United Nations to enact gun control in violation with the Second Amendment. There are also talks underway to subject American citizens to a "world court", and international laws not within the bounds of the Constitution. Healthcare directions, such things as vaccination make ups, are gradually being turned over to the dictates of the World Health Organization (UN). There is much more back dealing going on that threatens the very sovereignty of our country, in violation with the Constitution.

 

We have significantly lost status and respect in the world. Our foreign policy is confusing and / or nonexistent. Barack Obama started off his presidency, and has continued with, a policy of apology, appeasement, and signs of weakness. Our military strength is in the process of being significantly reduced. We have turned our back on, and insulted, one of our greatest allies, Israel. Yet they are strategically important -even vital - to the Mid East, the United States, and the free world. The Obama administration refuses to recognize and identify the greatest threat to our country, and to the world, radical Islamic terrorism.

 

Our current foreign policy has pushed the Mid East to the brink of a nuclear war. The Obama administration pushed for the removal of dictators, yet did so with no plan on what might happen in the vacuum created by their removal. Mid East stability was upset, enemies have been emboldened, while at the same time abandoning one of our greatest allies, Israel. The administration misled America by telling us that the Muslim Brotherhood were nothing but an innocuous, harmless organization and had no chance of taking charge in the Mid East. They now are on the verge of doing so and they do have very radical Islamic strains. We failed the Iranian people, when we had a chance to bring about a positive change. Total incompetence was exhibited in this recent loss of American lives and over 30 assaults on our embassies, world wide. The Obama administration sits idly by as Israel is being pushed into a corner in order to fight for their very survival.

 

We were not given the full truth on the murder of the U.S. ambassador in Libya and three other Americans. There was, in fact, a cover up by the Obama administration. It is felt that this was done for political purpose, not what is best for the United States. Total incompetence was exhibited by ignoring early warning signs given by radical Islamic groups, lack of intelligence, and a failure to protect our embassies and personnel on September 11, an obvious day for some type of radical terrorist action.

 

The foreign policy of the United States is directly responsible for what we see in the Mid East today...total out of control riotous turmoil, much of it aimed at the United States. By turning our back on Israel, and showing weakness, we have greatly emboldened those who want to destroy Israel and the United States. The Mid East has been pushed to the brink of nuclear war, possibly even leading to World War III.

 

A true leader takes responsibility for their record.  A true leader brings people together and shows clear progress.  A true leader does not continually blame other people for his failures.  A true leader does not purposely create division among people in order to obfuscate their own record of failure.  President Obama is not a leader.   

 

 

For all of the reasons above, and more, all those who care about the future of the United States and the world....all those who care about their families, their children, grandchildren, and future generations not only should, but must end the Obama reign and vote for Mitt Romney. The wake of what has been created by the Obama administration, all of the above, and more, should be convincing enough.

 

It should have NOT been necessary for me to write this letter. It should have all been fully covered and reported by the media across our nation through all media outlets.

 

Vote to save our country. There never has been such a critical time in our history as a nation.

Unreported: A Critical Failure in Foreign Policy

As if the domestic situation is not bad enough with an extremely poor economy, a massive and rapidly growing debt, and a very poor job situation, our current foreign policy is equally bad. President Obama began his presidency with a worldwide apology tour exhibiting a naivete that this somehow would gain respect and place America in a more positive stead internationally. Just the opposite. Our two staunchest allies are Great Britain and Israel. He insulted England early on by returning a bust of Winston Churchill, but even worse he has continually insulted our vital ally in the Mid East, Israel.

Most critical to our foreign policy is the Mid East. During an Iranian uprising, President Obama failed to say one word in support of the Iranian people while they were being slaughtered in the streets. This was a loss of a major opportunity. Although some undesirable dictators were in place in Egypt and Libya, there was at least some degree of stability. Any attempt at change should have had a plan for assurances that the situation wouldn't actually become worse. Obama had no plan, yet went ahead supporting the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt and Gaddafi in Libya, even though there was a distinct threat of very radical anti-American Islamic leadership taking over. The most highly organized are the Muslim Brotherhood with clear strains of radical Islam. The naivete was further exhibited when Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, and the Obama administration, attempted to dispel any radical aspects of the Muslim Brotherhood and painted them as an innocuous "boy scout" like group, simply interested in democracy. Not so.

Obama's solution to the Israeli - Palestinian conflict, out of the blue with no consultation with the Israeli Prime Minister, was to declare that there should be a return to the borders before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. A shocked Prime Minister,Benjamin Netanyahu, called this "indefensible". Obama has continually insulted our strong ally, Israel, and the Prime Minister. At the same time Obama had no problem with inviting the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House.

We now have an extremely volatile flash point with Iran fast approaching nuclear bomb capability. Not only has the Obama administration been weak and unclear on their opposition to Iran, Obama has refused to meet with Prime Minister, Netanyahu during this time. Unbelievable! Yet Iran has repeatedly stated that their goal was to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. This critical situation, as Obama does nothing, could lead to a nuclear conflict and the possibility of World War III. What greater failure in foreign policy could there be?

We are beginning to see the early fruits of Obama's foreign policy in the Mid East. Our embassies are under attack with Americans murdered. Radical elements are beginning to take over in the vacuum created by the administration's foreign policy. The Muslim Brotherhood, just as most Americans suspected, are not "boy scouts", but very radical Islamists, that hate America.

The foreign policy of the Obama administration is not only a total failure, it is in the process of placing the United States and the world in great danger. This needs to be factually reported by ALL media sources.
