Congress censors Arab news media

May 182010

Congress passed a bill to label certain Middle Eastern satellite providers of ‘anti-American’ programming as terrorist organizations, in an effort to prevent radical anti-American propaganda from hitting the airwaves. This goes completely against the US tradition of promoting freedom of the press abroad and is flawed for many reasons – plus it will lead to more censorship of Arab media.

    Freedom of speech …
    Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. No government has the moral right to stop a person from speaking their mind. Some of the things that come out are indeed vile and disgusting but people must make and be accountable for their own actions and not let governments make such a basic decision for them. Use freedom of speech to prove your case why this is wrong instead of telling people we’re not going to let you see it because we know whats best for you. That’s not freedom.
    peace

    “The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world domination by the dissolution of other races…and by the establishment of a world republic in which everywhere the Jews will exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this New World Order the Children of Israel…will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition…” (Karl Marx in a letter to Baruch Levy, quoted in Review de Paris, June 1, 1928, p. 574)

    ONE QUESTION for Everyone.
    IF America is Friends with Israel does that mean America and Friends really bombed the Gaza Strip last week?
    TWO QUESTIONS sorry.
    WHY was it Easier to Get Tanks and Guns to Haiti instead of Food and Water and WHY (sorry I am up to 3 now) did America just take over and give out Tear Gas in the mass population Cities instead of Food and Water when UNARMED Field Workers were giving out Food and Water very Peacefully?
    STOP the WAR!
    STOP the HATE!
    Peace and Love mate.

    Congress will …
    Congress will eventually stop us from watching Russia Today when they get around to it. John McCain has even started carrying the banner for Codex Alimentarius with his new “food safety” bill. (Google it if you don’t know what that is.) Does anyone get that both parties are working against the American people yet? All of this is counter-productive in a free country, and BOTH parties are taking part in controlling our media. It really is time to wake up.

    I’ve seen other bills with the same use as I meant, and it has nothing to do with passing secret messages. All jpgs have secrets in then, get with the goal.

    it’s ok if anyone else criticises US ..except for the victims of it’s most heinous crimes..!

    The American war criminals want their victims to become desparate and comit acts of desparation..instead of any formal manner of protest.

    That is how they deliberately made 9-11 happen as well.

    what jokes these American business people are.

    The U.S.A. is not the the Worlds Police. When are we going to get these cowardly Sycophants out of Congress AND Senate? The constant cowing before Zionists is becoming way too much to take.

    I guess it’s the end for Faux Fake news then.

  19. MrSTANDFORAMERICA Says:

    The part of “other …
    The part of “other purposes”. you are putting the wrong way. in the bill the “other purposes” falls under.
    “a report on anti-American incitement to violence in the Middle East, and for purposes of attacks on America” or the “purposes os giving order through the media to attack targets”.

    The coffee is brewing, wakeup and smell it.

    The footage taken …
    The footage taken from Hamas’ TV on this video here dooesn’t even reach America. So the bill is flawed. By the way, didn’t Hamas fight al Qaeda terrorists in Gaza last October? Didn’t Hezbollah condemn 9/11? American politicians must be the most ungrateful dumbasses you can imagine.

  21. rainermarius Says:

    These Evangelical …
    These Evangelical Zionist fundamentalist channels broadcast EXACTLY the same type of propaganda like what al Qaeda does over the internet. The only difference is, al Qaeda’s propaganda is not part of the mainstream Arab media. No Arab TV channel speaks in favor for al Qaeda and neither did an Islamic preacher praise these terrorists on TV. But in America, terrorists like Hagee and Parsley endorse presidential candidates like McCain. Just imagine an Al Qaeda cleric endorsing some Arab leader!

  22. rainermarius Says:

    I have access to …
    I have access to American satellite TV here in the Philippines. So I’m able to watch the religious programs which seem to be part of mainstream media in America. I’ve seen with my own eyes how very famous televangelists like John Hagee, Rod Parsley and Pat Robertson glorify the killing of Muslims, defame Islam and even call for assassination against Hugo Chavez all live on TV. I really wish that the OPEC and Arab League would take this into consideration about their so-called ally in the West.

  23. rainermarius Says:

    So why don’t Arab …
    So why don’t Arab countries start censoring American media like Fox News and the countless Evangelical fundamentalist channels which call for “crusades” against Muslims? That would be fair enough. But I guess Arab regimes are not aware of the Zionist propaganda creeping into their people’s homes.
