mike rivero responds to gannett/the town talk's jewish anti-iran propaganda

the jews are desperate to trick the stupid americans into going to war against iran for them. today the jewish puppets and liars over at the town talk posted an editorial for israel beating the american war drums against iran.

this is clearly not in america's best interest. why is gannett, paul carty, cynthia jardon and the rest of the liars over at the town talk allowed to exploit their status as so called "journalists" to
propagandize americans as agents of a foreign power to support what would be another illegal war?

mike rivero over at whatreallyhappened.com noticed this garbage and wrote about it on his website:

While this pro-war screed carries no name, one only need to look at the emphasis placed on Yom Kippur inside the text to understand where this propagandist's point of view comes from. ~ mike rivero www.whatreallyhappened.com
then left the following comment(s) underneath the editorial why talk? iran has already spoken :


view them here until the town talk deletes them.
Zionism depends upon human garbage

Crime gangs of all races and nationalities are collections of freaks. Their members are alcoholics, drug addicts, psychos, and retards who are suffering from all sorts of mental disorders.

Many seem to retain a childish attraction to toilet humor and temper tantrums. They are crude, disgusting, dishonest, mentally unstable creatures who will cheat one another in addition to the rest of us.

You might find it interesting to imagine yourself dependent upon these freaks. Would you feel safe with them on your side? Would you want them to be part of your team? ~ hufschmid: zionism's fatal flaws

    newsmax.com reports about wst... 'ron paul: nancy pelosi pulled iran bill on orders of israel' vid clip

    on 07 june 2008 we were watching c-span television and they were televising a speech to the future of freedom foundation by congressman ron paul. within the speech congressman paul recounts how speaker of the house nancy pelosi, acting under orders of israel and aipac, pulled a section of a bill which would have required congressional approval before the president could go to war with iran.

    the next day we went to the c-span website and recorded the :58 seconds clip of that portion of congressman paul's speech and posted it to youtube. you can watch congressman paul's entire speech on c-spanarchives.org here.

    within a few hours michael rivero somehow picked up the youtube clip and posted a link to it from his high traffic website www.whatreallyhappened.com

    since then and thanks to mr. rivero, this short clip has been viewed 26,390 times, embedded in many, many blogs and websites and has earned several youtube video honors.

    today, we learned that newsmax.com without mentioning this video or the existence of it, (which is fine) but quoting directly from it, has posted a news story about the content of the video (see link).

    anyway, the point of this post isnt to blow our own horn so to speak or draw attention to ourselves but to show how it's possible even with an old obsolete computer to make a difference in the world -- so if you're thinking about blogging then please do so. you dont have to post about politics. post about whatever you like. you never know what might happen...

    governor piyush scam's first assignment: get rid of electronic voting machines!

    **updated 8:17 am cdt monday 22 october 2007**

    wst... received the following email from louisiana libertarian gubernatorial candidate t. lee horne, iii this morning:

    From: "T. Lee Horne, III" tleehorneiii@removed
    To: wesawthat@gmail.com
    Subject: Update on vote results and reported problems.
    Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 06:33:18 -0500

    I continue reading and researching the Sec of State web site and see that
    though all precincts were reporting in, "all reporting" does not mean the
    results are final. Final is days later after all clerical errors are
    corrected. The numbers are falling in to the correct places so I believe
    that part.

    As to other reported errors that occurred, some impartial group needs to
    look into why a problem that the Sec. of State's office staff says was a
    known problem was not resolved, fixed, or the election postponed until the
    problem was fixed.

    T. Lee Horne, III
    Candidate for Governor of Louisiana 2007

    ----ORIGINAL POST----
    Lee Horne and his friends all voted for him in his own voting precinct, yet only one vote was registered for him.
    In Bunkie, His campaign manager's family voted for him, yet only two vote registered for him.... and there are more reports coming in like this...

    I'd say its more than a rumor, its a dirty lil' secret no one is talking about.

    below is an email I received from Lee Horne, according to him the Sec. of State office admitted knowing about the problem, well if there is a problem like this how can the election be validated? Bobby Jindal may not have gotten a majority!

    Mr. Horne's email is included if you need to contact him regarding this information.

    To: tleehorneiii@removed
    Subject: Election results and news.
    Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2007 07:51:23 -0500

    The election didn't go well. I received a few reports, one from my campaign
    manager, that the electronic machines were switching votes from me to
    Jindal. When he called to Sec of State and finally got someone he was told
    it is a known problem and they don't know what to do about it.

    Other people contacted me. They would vote for me, then vote the rest of the
    ballot, go back to check their votes and the vote for me was changed before
    they recorded so they canceled and revoted.

    In Franklin, only 1 person officially voted for me in my precinct. Not
    likely as I voted for me and I am sure of 3 others.

    In Bunkie, 3 people in one precinct voted for me and only 2 votes showed up
    for me.

    How many other votes for other candidates were switched to B. Jindal? But
    hey, it is Louisiana, what can you expect?

    jews complain that tea party participants are potential "anti-semites"


    heh heh heh ... this is a hoot! especially here in the dirrty south, where a lot of tea party participants are christian zionist wackos who worship jews and israel and not jesus christ. like these two tea party liars tony perkins and wayne ryan who are pushing the judeo-christian myth.

    via: what really happened

    a recent posting on the anti defamation league website reads in part:
    ADL's Center on Extremism, which monitors extremist groups and provides information to law enforcement and the public, has released information on its Web site describing the attempt by white supremacists to co-opt the anti-tax message of the events as a means to spread racism and anti-Semitism. ~ link

    zionist rabbi admits america fighting in iraq for israel


    although in the context of the interview, the reporter, mike magnoli, wasn't trying to make the point that america is fighting iraq for israel, rabbi arnold task of an alexandria, louisiana synagogue, misunderstood where the question was going and quickly interrupted to say "not only for israel - they're fighting for peace in the world."

    what mr. magnoli should have asked the rabbi is how can the khazar's lay any claim to the "holy" land? see benjamin freedman: facts are facts: the truth about khazars and the thirteenth tribe by arthur koestler.

    eustace mullins dies

    via rense.com

    Legendary author of scores of books and pamphlets demolishing the lies of warmaking mainstream media, historian Eustace Mullins died Tuesday, Feb. 2, at the home of his caretaker in a small town in Texas.

    "He was absolutely BRILLIANT in his research, writing and verbal presentations, and as honest a man and scholar as our country has ever produced. In all the interviews I had the great honor of doing with Eustace, he never ceased to amaze me...and to teach all of us critically-important truths about our world and the evil, satanic group that is and has been dominating it for far too long. HIs knowledge and wisdom about the controllers was simply astonishing." said Jeff Rense.

    Mullins, who would have been 87 in March, suffered a stroke three weeks ago in Columbus, Ohio. He had been on an extended tour of his admirers for much of the past year, visiting and chatting with many of his thousands of fans who jumped at the chance to buy his books from him in person.

    The author of such incendiary books as "Secrets of the Federal Reserve, "Murder by Injection, and "The Curse of Canaan, Mullins was harrassed by the FBI for almost a half century, and had one of his books burned in Germany in the 1950s. These stories are recounted in one of his books, "A Writ for Martyrs.

    A protege of the imprisoned patriotic poet Ezra Pound, Mullins compiled a well-researched raft of works that detailed the passage down through time of a hereditary group of banker killers who have essentially ruled the world from behind the scenes since ancient times.

    "Eustace Mullins was the greatest political historian of the 20th century, and not just because he was not beholden to the power structure that deters candid reports about significant events, but because, guided by the greatest poet of the 20th century who was imprisoned for broadcasting for peace, his meticulous research eventually uncovered virtually every significant political secret of the last 400 years. "It, is a pity so many people are afraid to believe what Mullins told them, because it was much more of the truth than has ever been seen in our schools or our media.

    Funeral arrangements and appropriate memorial information have yet to be released.

    wow, how exciting. what really happened is one blog/website that we always check out for the latest unusual and underreported news..

    by the way the wing-nut national review linked to us saturday night and tried to paint us as some kind of liberal blog. its a shame that when a blogger points out the activities of republican (and democratic) treasonous rats like piyush "bobby" jindal, rodney alexander, richard hugh baker, jim mccrery, charles boustany, charlie melancon, david vitter and katrina mary landrieu snellings and gets called "liberal."

    if the national review was really conservatives and republicans like they claim to be, they would be exposing these rats themselves instead of knocking those of us who do!

    LAWRENCE, Mass. — At the Essex Towers senior public housing, voters are being allowed to vote despite the poll warden not showing up.

    According to a poll watcher for Republican candidate Scott Brown, a Lawrence Police Department officer unlocked the ballot box.

    This was observed by Americans for Limited Government, and Brown and Martha Coakley poll watchers.

    The poll warden had taken a child to school, according to one observer.

    The police later opened a polling machine for a handicapped man.

    There was still no evidence of a poll warden one hour after the polls opened.

    "The flights are ongoing to redeploy the elements of the Georgian contingent so that they can deal with the security issues in their country," General Petraeus told The Times in an interview at his office inside Baghdad’s Green Zone. ~ read more

    shreveport man gets 15 years for stealing $100.00

    ***DEVELOPING ... 14 october 2011 ... earlier this afternoon we spoke by telephone to randy bain, news director at ktbs.

    we explained to him how roy brown and the report of his receiving 15 years in jail for stealing $100.00 has resonated across the internet.

    that it has drawn in interest from the start and how we receive huge roy brown traffic spikes from time to time when his story is mentioned in the blogosphere or media somewhere in the world.

    you probably know what we mean.

    we explained that there was never any verifiable followup on this story which is inexplicable and suspicious to the global internet audience because everyone can see it was well covered online. 'so why wasnt it on every tv station?' some quip.

    and that not surprisingly over time this lack of further mention, well ... its made a lot of people in the internet suspect that the roy brown story is just another internet hoax.

    for example, recently commentators on the escapist: forums, without anything more to go on are pretty reasonable in their skepticism see Homeless man turns himself in for taking $100 dollars. Gets 15 Years.

    kudos to the escapist: forums commenter evilneko for finding the still live ktbs roy brown url.

    as far as the image being fake -- our image below is a screen grab that we personally took of roy brown's booking information off of the official police department website. others may have used this image or a derivative of it or created their own; that we have no control over. it is a public domain image. La. R.S. 44:1 et seq.

    after reflecting and drawing from the information that he had available at his fingertips from his desk mr. bain said flat out that "roy brown is not a hoax."

    he came here to this post and said he would check out the links and forums and hopefully answer all of your questions in a new roy brown report.

    ktbs, while in louisiana, is out of our viewing area and isnt carried by our cable provider suddenlink, so there is a very slim to non chance that we will be able to add it to youtube. however,

    mr. bain understands that due to the global interest in roy brown to also post the report from their website of ktbs.com

    until we learn more, regularly check out www.ktbs.com

    07 july 2011 UPDATE

    thanks to a blog post from 24 june 2011, we've become aware that some are starting to suspect that roy brown is a hoax. see: the johnsville news "injustice in america or clever hoax?"

    for sure, it's always good to be suspicious of what you read online and do your own original research. so we thank the johnsville news for their post.

    internet archive, wayback machine, ktbs.com snapshot 18 january 2009:
    Man who took one bill and handed rest back to bank teller gets 15-year sentence

    A man who said he robbed a downtown Shreveport bank because he was out of a job and hungry has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for first-degree robbery.

    Roy Brown, 54, of Audrey Lane, pleaded guilty in Caddo District Court to robbing the Capital One bank in December 2007.

    Brown admitted walking up to a teller with one of his hands under his jacket and telling her it was a "stickup." The teller handed the man three stacks of bills and he took a single $100 bill, told her he was homeless and left, police said.

    Brown surrendered to police the next day, telling them his mother didn't raise him that way.

    Police let him sober up and interviewed him two days later. Police said Brown told them he needed money to stay in a downtown detox center, had nowhere to stay and was hungry -- so he walked up the street and robbed the bank.

    source:the internet archive, wayback machine. it also shows that this report was on ktbs.com until at least 20 march 2009.

    on 16 january 2009, the ktbs.com source url was live and that probably helps to explain why so many bloggers courteously linked back here.

    if anyone wishes to investigate mr. brown and his situation further, the caddo parish district court criminal clerk's office should be a good place to start.

    yes there is no reporters name listed as responsible for filing the story; this was probably because someone at ktbs merely [re]posted a press release from the district attorney. so. it's entirely possible that this story was never reported over-the-air; only online and ktbs has no clue that it sparked a tremendous internet buzz / cause célèbre.

    it couldnt hurt to contact them, explain the situation and request a more formal follow-up report.

    anyway, if anyone finds the rest of the story posted online, let us know and we will link to it or if you own it we can post it here for you.

    thanks ... wst ...
