business and intelligence interests.

ALTERNATIVE MEDIA CENSORSHIP: SPONSORED BY CIA's FORD FOUNDATION?

by bob feldman

"The mass-circulation weekly TEMPO accused Ford of having once played,
at the urging of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, a covert role
in Indonesian political affairs by consciously supporting the work
of individuals who were deemed to be sympathetic to the
anti-communist aims of American foreign policy." --Chronicle of
Philanthropy, 12/13/01

"The Ford Foundation's history of collaboration and interlock with
the CIA in pursuit of U.S. world hegemony is now a well-documented
fact...The Ford Foundation has in some ways refined their style of
collaboration with Washington's attempt to produce world cultural
domination, but retained the substance of that policy...The ties
between the top officials of the Ford Foundation and the U.S.
government are explicit and continuing." --James Petras in "The Ford
Foundation and the CIA: A documented case of philanthropic
collaboration with the Secret Police" on 12/15/2001

The multi-billion dollar Ford Foundation's historic relationship to the
Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] is rarely mentioned on Pacifica's
DEMOCRACY NOW / Deep Dish TV show, on FAIR's COUNTERSPIN show, on the
WORKING ASSETS RADIO show, on The Nation Institute's RADIO NATION show,
on David Barsamian's ALTERNATIVE RADIO show or in the pages of
PROGRESSIVE, MOTHER JONES and Z magazine. One reason may be because the
Ford Foundation and other Establishment foundations subsidize the
Establishment Left's alternative media gatekeepers / censors.

I just read part 4 about Z magazine, but didn't find it particularly persuasive. The editors of Z magazine make a whopping $30,000/year. Shocking! The way this person inserts many comments about the how Z magazine people are biased against 9/11 conspiracy viewpoints tends to undermine the overall effectiveness of article.
Maybe some people should be sick of letting "icons" liberal or otherwise tell them what is ok to think. Its time to reject the box, these people force you into. Get rid of the group think and look for yourself. Don't let them filter the NEWS for you.

Even the so called Liberal media in many cases is controled by Big Business and the CIA.

Even Bill Moyer for example is TRILATERAL COMMISSION AND THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS.http://dpls.dacc.wisc.edu/Council/appendixb_council.html

NPR'S PROPAGANDA CZAR/CEO
http://www.sonic.net/~doretk/Issues/99-12%20WINTER/npr.html

In a move roughly akin to the ACLU hiring a CIA director for its president, National Public Radio named the czar of American broadcast agitprop as its CEO. Kevin Klose has been director of the US International Broadcasting Bureau, which runs or coordinates all major American broadcast propaganda, including the Voice of America and Radio Marti. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia operate under the oversight of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the same body that supervises IBB. Kevin Klose was president of Radio FreeEurope/Radio Liberty from 1992 to 1997. Prior to that, he worked for many years for the Washington Post.

Here is Bush Sr. and Gary Hart on video talking about a "New World Order" ie Global Dictatorship.

No wonder you get some facts but a wierd spin on some liberal outlets.
