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: Let's
Be Real...They are NOT bNewsb Networks!*
Did
you get a chance to watch the Attorney General of the United
States get shredded by the Senate Judiciary committee yesterday?
Had this session taken place during the 70's every TV network
would have halted their regularly scheduled broadcast so that the
American public could learn about the shocking criminal behavior
of their government. The TV networks would have allowed the
American public to watch their Attorney General get nailed for
lying to Congress, to the American people and doing everything in
his power to help the criminal administration of Dick Cheney and
his front man George W. Bush, subvert the laws of our nation.
At
one time a hearing like the one I watched yesterday would have
jolted the American public into marching on the White House for
the purpose of forcibly removing the criminals who have lied to
them about virtually everything while assaulting our liberties and
eliminating our protection from corporations who are intent on
harming us for profit.
Well
maybe the major TV networks figured that with 500 or so cable
networks they did not have to stop their broadcasts in order to
bring this vital information to the American public...especially
since we have so called news networks that are there to bring
important information to the public 24 hours per day. Well...if
you you believe that you would be wrong.
Yesterday
was just another example of how the establishment news media in
our nation is the greatest enemy to democracy and to the American
people. So if you tuned into the evening bnewsb
programs on these networks expecting to see urgent discussions of
what has been an unmentioned Constitutional crisis you would have
found hour long discussions on another unimportant Hollywood brat
who can't control her opulent lifestyle.
First
of all it baffles me that Larry King has a program on a network
that calls itself a news network. This man has set the world
record for unimportance. Actually he may be the most uninformed
individual on CNN when it comes to actual news. Larry King's vital
topic of the day: Lindsey Lohan! Then you have MSNBC's Dan Abrams.
Dan Abrams is not just a program host on MSNBC, he is the head of
MSNBC news! His program topic last night...that same sleezebag
drunk driving celebrity who can't keep her underwear free legs
closed for the paparazzi (look it up...it's true)...Lindsey Lohan.
Then again I am not sure who the real sleezbag is in this case;
Lohan or Abrams! *Think about it! Jesse Richard b
Editor, TvNewsLIES.org*

Hey! If you believe that the
American corporate media are our greatest enemy let the people know

*QUESTION: *Have you forwarded
this e-mail to anyone today? Consider doing so for you will be
helping to inform the people of this nation about the vital issues
that are hidden from them by our corporate media. Make this nation a
better place, educate, inform and enlighten your fellow citizens!
*WAR
: **http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#war*
**b*Mutilated,b
bTortured,b And bUnidentified Bodiesb In
Baghdad Rise To bPre-Surge Levelsb* - But a new
report from IraqSlogger reveals that the U.S. presence in Baghdad
has shown virtually no progress in stemming the gruesome sectarian
death squads pervading the capital.
*4
U.S. Troops Among Many Dead in Battles With Taliban* - Nearly
100 people, including four U.S. troops, died in clashes in
Afghanistan and Pakistan on Monday, military spokesmen said, as
security forces battled Taliban fighters in a war that has been
gaining intensity on both sides of the border.
*Bush Executive
Order: Criminalizing the Antiwar Movement* - The Executive
Order entitled "Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who
Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq" provides the
President with the authority to confiscate the assets of whoever
opposes the US led war.
*POLITICS :
**http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#politics*
*Is
this the real president of the United States?*
- He rarely speaks in public and closely guards his privacy. But
there's a growing consensus in America that it's Dick Cheney who
calls the shots at the White House, on everything from the war in
Iraq to climate change policy. *TVNL Comment: Does anyone
doubt this?*
*Report
Suggests Laws Broken in Attorney Firings* - The report says
that Congress's seven-month investigation into the firings raises
"serious concerns" that senior White House and Justice
Department aides involved in the removal of nine U.S. attorneys
last year may have obstructed justice and violated federal
statutes that protect civil service employees, prohibit political
retaliation against government officials and cover presidential
records.
*Disfavor
for Bush Hits Rare Heights* - President Bush is a competitive
guy. But this is one contest he would rather lose. With 18 months
left in office, he is in the running for most unpopular president
in the history of modern polling.
*Gonzales
Digs a Deeper Hole* - Just when it seemed that Attorney General
Alberto Gonzales' reputation on Capitol Hill couldn't possibly get
much worse, he showed up Tuesday for yet another hearing.
*Diplomats
Received Political Briefings* - White House aides have
conducted at least half a dozen political briefings for the Bush
administration's top diplomats, including a PowerPoint
presentation for ambassadors with senior adviser Karl Rove that
named Democratic incumbents targeted for defeat in 2008 and a
"general political briefing" at the Peace Corps
headquarters after the 2002 midterm elections.
*Just What the
Founders Feared: An Imperial President Goes to War* - The
Constitution does make the president bcommander in chief,b
a title President Bush often invokes. But it does not have the
sweeping meaning he suggests. The framers took it from the British
military, which used it to denote the highest-ranking official in
a *theater of battle*.
*ECONOMY :
http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#economy
*
*Halliburton profit up,
shares hit new high* - The company, which opened a headquarters
in Dubai this year in an effort to grow its business in the
Eastern Hemisphere, noted recent contract wins in India and
Malaysia that helped offset weakness in its largest market, North
America.
*Economist
tallies swelling cost of Israel to US* - For the first time in
many years, Mr. Stauffer has tallied the total cost to the US of
its backing of Israel in its drawn-out, violent dispute with the
Palestinians. So far, he figures, the bill adds up to more than
twice the cost of the Vietnam War.
*Gas
Prices Rise on Refineriesb Record Failures* - Oil
refineries across the country have been plagued by a record number
of fires, power failures, leaks, spills and breakdowns this year,
causing dozens of them to shut down temporarily or trim
production. The disruptions are helping to drive gasoline prices
to highs not seen since last summerbs records.*TVNL
Comment: This is done on purpose. Anything they can do to reduce
supply helps raise profits. They sell less for more and still make
the same money.*
*Put-to-Call
Ratio at Highest in 12 Years Dick
Cheney on Face the Nation, CBS, April 15, 2007
*9/11 Truth:
Scott Forbes describes unusual power-downs in WTC* - What did
the president's brother, Marvin Bush, have to do with security for
the World Trade Center Complex and Dulles International Airport on
9/11? Why were there so many power-downs and evacuations in the
WTC just prior to 9/11?
*CONGRESS :
**http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#congress*
*Sens.
say Gonzales lied* - Gonzales struggled under a verbal
battering from senators that grew unusually personal as the
hearing wore on. Several Democrats directly suggested that the
besieged attorney general had lied to the committee, indicating
they would scour the record for evidence of official perjury.
*Special
prosecutor weighed for Gonzales* - He would not answer numerous
questions, including whether the Bush administration would bar its
U.S. attorneys from pursuing contempt charges against current and
former White House officials who have defied congressional
subpoenas for their testimony.
*Senator
stumps Gonzales over authority granted to Cheney to intervene in
Justice probes* - During Tuesday's Senate Judiciary Committee
oversight hearing, a freshman Democratic Senator stumped Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales on how Vice President Dick Cheney, his
chief of staff, and counsel, had been granted authority parallel
with the President on intervening in pending matters at the
Justice Department.
*Leahy, Specter
Lay in to Gonzales* - If there's been a more brutal treatment
of a cabinet official before Congress in recent memory, I haven't
seen it.
*DOMESTIC :
**http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#domestic*
*Vendor
Arrested For "Impeach Him" Buttons* - McConnell was
also warned that he would be arrested if he returned to the
market, even though it is public property.
*Operation
FALCON - The USA is turning into a Police State* -
Dictatorships require strong centralized authority and the Falcon
program is a logical corollary of that ambition. It creates new
inroads for Bush to assume greater control over the nationwide
police-state apparatus. That alone should be sufficient reason for
alarm.
*Spitzerbs
Staff Misused Police, Report Finds* - Gov. Eliot Spitzer
indefinitely suspended his communications director and reassigned
another top official today after Attorney General Andrew M.
Cuomobs office issued a scathing report accusing the
governorbs staff of *using the State Police for political
purposes*.
*Milwaukee
Election Records Indicate Apparent Forgery, Ballot Box Stuffing in
2004 Presidential Election* - How is it US Attorney
Steven Biskupic missed this? Could he have been looking for voter
fraud instead of election fraud?
*U.S.
dropped Enron-like fraud probe* - Two years into a fraud
investigation, veteran federal prosecutor David Maguire told
colleagues he'd uncovered one of the biggest cases of his career.
*DoJ
all but boperating on autopilotb* - Six top DoJ
officials have quit since February, when the sackings of at least
nine US attorneys prompted an outcry in Congress. -
Theb remainingb topb officials,b including
Alberto Gonzales, attorney-B-general, are the subject of
multiple investigations by Congress and the DoJbs
inspector-general.
*Microchip
implants raise privacy concern* - But the news that Americans
had, for the first time, been injected with electronic identifiers
to perform their jobs fired up a debate over the proliferation of
ever-more-precise tracking technologies and their ability to erode
privacy in the digital age.
*Executive
Order: Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten
Stabilization Efforts in Iraq *- I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President
of the United States of America, find that, due to the unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy
of the United States posed by acts of violence threatening the
peace and stability of Iraq and undermining efforts to promote
economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq and to
provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, it is in the
interests of the United States to take additional steps with
respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13303 of May 22, 2003, and expanded in Executive Order 13315 of
August 28, 2003, and relied upon for additional steps taken in
Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, and Executive Order 13364
of November 29, 2004. I hereby order:*TVNL Comment: Protest
the war...lose your home!*
*ENVIRONMENT :
**http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#environment*

in 4 NYC adults have elevated mercury* - Rates were higher
among more affluent residents compared to those in lower income
groups and were high among Asians, who eat more fish, the survey
showed.

disaster to take everyone's breath away* - Every day they
recede further, like water running slowly out of an immense
bathtub, threatening a worldwide catastrophe.
*Two
months of rain in just one day* - "I've never seen
anything like it, and I've been in the Met Office for 34 years.
It's an extraordinary amount, more like you would expect in a
tropical rainforest."

trial begins against Dole, Dow* - Dole Food Co. knowingly
exposed Nicaraguan banana workers three decades ago to a pesticide
made by Dow Chemical Co. that caused permanent sterility, an
attorney for the men said in opening arguments in Los Angeles
County Superior Court.
*INTERNATIONAL :
**http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#international*
*Mob
Wars Hit New Heights in Israel* - When an explosion goes off on
a busy Israeli street these days, it seems as likely to be a mob
hit as a Palestinian attack.

ruling party wins big in parliamentary elections* - Poll
returns fuel fears that the Islamist-rooted AKP will seek to
undermine the nation's secular principles.
*Backlash
in rich nations against globalisation* - Large majorities of
people in the US and in Europe want higher taxation for the rich
and even pay caps for corporate executives to counter what they
believe are unjustified rewards and the negative effects of
globalisation.
*Brown
drops 'war on terror,' redefining the fight* - Is the war on
terror really a war?
*The
world after George W. Bush* - And when deciding on fateful
policies, Bush has often disdained to take into account the
cultural and historical conditions specific to key countries. In
practice, that attitude has resulted in one calamity after
another:
*Israel
at the ready to invade Gaza Strip* - ISRAELI forces have made
preparations to invade the Gaza Strip to stop a guerilla build-up
by the Palestinian group Hamas but may have only a limited
opportunity to stage such an attack, an army commander has said.
*Israelbs
primal myth: Barrier to Peace* - Forget about Hamas, the wall,
Gaza and the occupied territories. There can be no peace in the
Middle East until Israel and the Palestinians deal with one key
issue: the Palestinian demand that Israel recognize their right of
return.

Soldiers Must Pay For Damaged Equipment

VA Secretary Jim Nicholson of breaking the law by denying them
disability pay and mental health treatment.*TVNL Comment: We

information.*
*Army
denies Hawaiians access to sacred sites* - Long-simmering
differences between Native Hawaiians and the military over access
to Makua Valley have flared anew, with the Army notifying two
prominent groups that they will no longer be allowed access to
four sacred sites they've visited in the past.
*Navy
officer reportedly worked as an escort* - The woman who
authorities allege ran a prostitution business in the Washington
area for 13 years and counted *high-profile government officials

*Former Texas

former executive of a global logistics company has pleaded guilty

*Paul
Jay and The Real TV Mean To Bring Us Video-Based News Without the
Government and Corporate Spin* - The fundamental goal is to
