SUPPORT TvNewsLIES.org!*
*FOOD
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: How
Can Anyone Take bMainstreamb (Establishment) Media
Seriously at This Point?*
As
many of you know I have been out of the loop for a little while as
I address a heal issue, but I have not been out of the loop when
it comes to keeping track of what has been going on (and I have
not been out of the loop in keeping the news page up to date! Nor
have I been out of the loop when it comes to the exponential
decline of the pretend news industry in our nation.
There
have been many things to comment on and point out during my
downtime, but I have to tell you that every once in a while I
catch something that just blows me away when taken in complete
context. Now you see I see things from a different vantage point
than most people. That is why I do what I do. Things that may not
be obvious to most people are obvious to me. I am like the kid in
the movie bThe 6th Senseb; you know the kid
who could bsee dead people!b I seem to be cursed in
that unnoticed outrages seem to pop out of the scene and jab me in
the eyes. All I do with my writing and speaking is point these
things out. I don't even go looking for things to point out, they
just keep popping up. Only these days there are so many outrageous
moments taking place (with the establishment media) that these
bpop out and jab me in the eyeb moments are starting
to make me feel like I am living under a strobe light. I can't
possibly keep up with reporting all of these moments.
Now
that being said I hope this little bpop out momentb
that I am sharing is not to anti-climactic...but if you really
take this in the context of what journalism is journalism,
national journalism, it's importance as a Constitutionally
protected entity under our so called democracy, all the important
issues that exist, and all that is and is not reported to the
American public by our Constitutional sentinel known as the bfree
pressb, and if you include the overwhelming ignorance and
stupidity of the general public in this nation, you may just
understand why I found this little particular moment noteworthy.
OK,
so here it is...as I was doing my duty by monitoring the TV so
called news networks during their top of the hour headline runs I
found that they all reported, among other things, on the status of
Brittany Spears child custody. Brittany Spears! We are talking
about a celebrity that is pretty much famous for being famous. A
nothing. A nobody. Go ahead, name one song that she sung and see
if it ends up on some classic music collection in 25 years. We are
not talking about John Lennon here. We are talking about a blond
chick with a barely passable singing voice and whose contributions
to the art of music don't even match what Rice Crispy treats are
to the culinary arts. People who called themselves journalists had
no problem reporting this ridicules item as news while the world
around us crumbles. Sorry, maybe it's all the medicine that I am
taking but I just don't understand how everyone around me does not
see how ludicrous this is and I just don't understand how those so
called journalists are not embarrassed to death to be doing what
they are doing! Think about it! *Think about it! Jesse Richard b
Editor, TvNewsLIES.org*
*PERSONAL
NOTE UPDATE: *For the
many people who have written me asking what has been going on...I
will be writing a personal blog piece on what I have been going
through. I think you will find it interesting and quite
informative taking into account all I have learned from the
experience.
Currently my pain is minimal thanks
to several powerful medications, a trip to the emergency room and
finally a friend who is a Chiropractor, who was the only person to
relieve my pain (using acupressure, nutrients and a neck
collar...no chiropractic however). I'll tell you all about this
guy, who was the only person who relieved my pain to the point of
not having to take powerful tranquilizers and pain killers
anymore!!! I am however awaiting results of a CT scan but I am
operating at 80% or so.
Again, I am sorry that the bdailyb
newsletter has been anything but bdailyb...but the
news page has not lost a beat so keep checking there for news
vital to all Americans. (In my opinion;-)
I REPEAT: I would like to
collectively thank the many of you who have written me with words
of support and encouragement. Your kind words are not only my
compensation for running this website but they help to strengthen
me when I am experience periods of weakness. I have always been a
very strong person, both physically and emotionally. I have always
been the person to fight for those who could not fight for
themselves. I have always been the person to be there for those
who have no place else to turn. It is overwhelming and humbling
when I find myself in a position where it is I who is in need of
help. I am at a loss for words that would adequately express the
support and friendship of my family, friends and TvNewsLIES
brothers and sisters. Your kind words mean more to me than I can
describe and during this time where I am experiencing excruciating
and debilitating each kind word and every moment taken by someone
who cares enough to think of me will remain in my heart as a ray
of eternal sunshine that lights up my existence. Thank you all
beyond ability to accurately express the magnitude of my
appreciation.
Thank you for understanding,Jesse

General confirms - American Democracy is Dead on Arrival* -
"Just as telling as the substance of Pacebs comments

circles, where his public rejection of democratic decision-making

Business & Political Leaders, Particularly in USA, Continue to

were, the US mainstream news media was even more feckless, it
reported them as straight news stories, without providing the

administration sought to suppress the truth, distort the facts and

treatment by the government.
*Sycophant
Savior* - David Petraeus is a political general. Yet in
presenting his recent assessment of the Iraq War and in describing
the bway forward,b Petraeus demonstrated that he is a
political general of the worst kindbone who indulges in the

Clinton, as well as do-gooder humanitarians with multiple social
projects ongoing such as the Rockefellers and every Royal House in
Europe, can perennially attend Bilderberg meetings apparently
knowing that the final objective of this despicable group of
hoodlums is a fascist One World Empire?
*What
Democracy?* - This country would thus be a much different place
than the budding corporofascist dictatorship which is being built
up slowly so as not to disturb the mental slumber of those who, as
P.M. Carpenter describes them in his Attack of the Right-Winging
Befuddled, are "the result of far too many years of gluing
themselves to simpleminded talk radio and assorted right-wing
scribblings of overbearing oversimplification."

differences with Albright."
*BRING A REAL
NEWSPAPER BACK INTO AMERICA'S TOWNS & CITIES* - America's
newspapers are the same facilitators of fabrications, spin and
lying through omission of events, investigations and legal issues
as the boob tube because they're all owned by a half dozen massive
conglomerates who also own propaganda publications like Time,
Newsweek and publications put out by organizations targeted at
specific age or ethnic groups. They all have a message, but few of
them have any grasp of constitutional government, the restrictions
placed on government - only how to vote more and more of the
public's empty treasury for their pet cause.

would reduce meat inspections* - As one of the largest meat
recalls in history unfolds, Congress is considering legislation
that would reduce required federal inspections for meat that is
produced by small companies and then shipped to another
state.*TVNL Comment: If you still feel that "your
party" is better at national security and keeping you
safe...you are simply stupid. If you think that military action is
the only way you are kept safe (if at all) you are simply stupid.
If you do not realize how you are being raped, abused, robbed and
murdered by your leaders, you are simply stupid.*

U.S. Endorsement of Severe Interrogations* - The classified
opinions, never previously disclosed, are a hidden legacy of
President Bushbs second term and Mr. Gonzalesbs tenure

Comment: Hidden because the NY Times did not report this until
now. *

change.
