FOR THOUGHT: We now have enough subscribers to support TvNewsLIES.org
if every subscriber to this mailing list donated $1
per month!* If we doubled the size of our list it would
only take $0.50 per week. Being financed to this point would mean
that TvNewsLIES could pay for its
overhead and any money over this amount could go towards hiring
reporters and expanding the new radio program. It would also allow
TvNewsLIES could repay my original
investment so that I can do things like pay the rent and buy food!
Just something to think about.

*TVNL Editor's Comments:
Memorial Day: Remembering Troops Who Fought AGAINST Nazis, Not For
Them*
It
is hard to imaging the shame I feel for my nation growing stronger
than it has been during these past seven years but this week good
old bshoot-em-in-the-faceb Dick Cheney helped me to
more than just imagine the shame I feel increase. Just days before
the holiday on which our nation remembers their fallen soldiers,
Dick Cheney was asked to speak at the graduation of our next
generation of military officers at the West Point Military
Academy. And guess what the ground zero of corruption vice
president chose to share with the new military yes men: his
criticism of the Geneva Conventions. Can anyone say Nazi Germany?
I
hate to say this and I know I am going to get abused over this
statement, but I am not one to play politics, so here I go: it is
getting very very difficult to support the troops and I no longer
support any of the troops who have signed up for the US military
after the US invaded a sovereign nation, Iraq. Knowing that Cheney
was welcomed to speak at the West Point graduation, as opposed so
say, someone who actually served his nation honorably by joining
the military at some point during his life instead of getting
multiple deferments like Cheney did, really sent it home for me.
Then hearing about what he spoke about was the nail in the coffin
in which lies my support for the troops. Out of all the
respectable former military persons who may have been invited to
speak at this year's commencement, they chose Cheney. Well I
say...screw them. They just lost my support.
Are
this year's graduates of West Point idiots and suckers? Are they
not aware that the man for whom which they applaud lied to their
fellow troops and to the nation when he sent their fellow soldiers
to war, to die and kill innocent people? Did they all rise and say
bThank you sir, may I have anotherb as they showed
their masochistic support of a man who betrayed the troops like no
other American leader in history?
As
the vile criminal, Cheney, who very likely was deeply involved in
delivering the attacks of 9/11 to our unformed unsuspecting
nation, and who spat upon his obligation to fight for his nation,
gave a speech that would have made Hitler proud, protesters were
denied their civil rights to free speech and were not permitted to
protest our Nazi vice president. I thought the troops were
supposed to be protecting our freedom, not cheering the man who is
responsible for eliminating it.
Dick
Cheney is a enemy of the state. He is in office via election coup
which makes him an invader and a criminal. Mountains of evidence
exist indicating Cheney's involvement in the events of 9/11. He
clearly was behind the effort to lie this nation into an illegal
war and he was the central figure in exposing a covert
intelligence agent. And Cheney has been the central figure behind
the Bush administration's assault on the US Constitution. I don't
want to support a military that welcomes a man like Dick Cheney, I
want a military that protects us from a man like Dick Cheney!
Think about it! Jesse Richard b Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
