Kimmel talks to Howie: ABC, Disney, Trump

(Howie Mandel Does Stuff) Jimmy K. finally talks about what's happening w/ pro-Trump censors

I wouldn't give Trump the sweat off my...ratings

Reports say that all Kimmel needs to do is swallow his pride, kowtow to King Trump, and cut down on the "Trump is an idiot, a fascist, and a moron" talk -- which could get someone blamed for his attempted assassinations. It may be, however, that Kimmel is ready to quit and move to his new cabin, leaving Hollywood's limelight for the glow of fireflies with his show business partner wife.

I run this country. I should control what's on TV

(CNN) Host Erin Burnett looks into the authoritarian situation brought on by Fearless Leader Trump, who claims that ABC wouldn't want Kimmel back because of his terribly "low ratings." Of course, networks want the lowest ratings they can get because that's how they make their money. Oh, wait, it's the opposite. The government does not even license networks, just local broadcasters. The FCC does not have the power to threaten broadcasters, local or national, just because the Fuhrer (Nazi-like leader) has a problem with what they're saying about him. Should said leader be able to bring down South Park for satire and genuine criticism? What if The Simpsons gets out of line? If Access Hollywood or TMZ take a jab, are they out?

Net: it's a utility, the "People's Platform," not a portable TV for corporate media (occupy)

 

Not until a fair accounting of votes does anything happen in a democracy. (It sure would be nice to live in a democracy). All those who say otherwise are stirring up anarchy. Destroy the deviants, troublemakers, and perverts! Corporate profits depend on it. That should keep the police state busy. In the meantime, what about our Internet?

 

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is voting today on new rules that may effectively abandon "Net neutrality," the concept of a free and open Internet. (Watch this).

(CGP Grey/cgpgrey.com) Let's tell the FCC to reclassify broadband Internet as a public utility, a Title II common carrier telecommunications service. (Discuss). Music: Broke for Free.

The FCC proposal would let Internet providers charge corporate media companies extra fees to receive preferential treatment, such as faster speeds for their products and content.

Under previous regulations struck down earlier this year, providers were forced to provide ALL content at equal speeds, including Wisdom Quarterly, Democracy Now!, Occupy.com, FEMEN, CodePink, and other outlets.

The encampment begins with activists from popularresistance.org and Fight for the Future

 

Just steps from the vote, demonstrators have set up an "Occupy the FCC" (occupythefcc.com) encampment calling for federal regulators to reclassify broadband service as a public utility.

"Trust me; I'm a banker!"

This will allow for the requirement of "Net neutrality" rules.

The CEOs of 28 U.S. broadband providers and trade groups told their FCC not to classify broadband as a utility, explaining that regulating broadband would "impose great costs [to our private corporations], allowing unprecedented government micromanagement of all aspects of the Internet economy."

Save the Internet (freepress.net)

This debate on Net neutrality features guests Timothy Karr of the media reform group Free Press, who want corporations to be regulated for the good of everyone who uses the Net, and Joshua Steimle, a tech entrepreneur who argues that the government should not be entrusted with regulating the Internet.

The Unbearable Truth about 911 (video)

"Loose Change" (full-length video, 1:19:01)

(Sdlhsn) If anyone has the slightest doubt about the events of September 11th, weigh the facts and the overwhelming evidence supporting this unbearable reality: The events of 911 were set up. This work exposes the lies, disproving every aspect of the bogus 911 Commission report put forth by our corrupt government. Judge, investigate the facts, listen to the unpaid experts, and examine the footage and evidence before coming to a conclusion. The evidence is not going anywhere. But it is inevitably coming out. A comprehensive list of over 100 lies and omissions in the 911 Commission report can be found at septembereleventh.org.

• "9/11 - The Road to Tyranny"

Is America a "terrorist" nation invading country after country? Using the pretext that we are helping them or retaliating when in fact our businesses and government are robbing them? Installing dictators? Training secret police agencies? Trading blood for oil? Terrifying its own population and stirring up anti-Islamic sentiments (which it has been doing since it turned its eye on Iran in the 1970s)? Exporting a consumer-capitalist McWorld mentality? Launching propaganda campaigns to cover the Shadow Government's tracks?

We are not our government! This is not our way! This is not right. We must speak up against the corporatism and militarism that represent us.

EU Commissioner to visit Burma refugees

(uscampaignforburma.org)

(Eurasia Review) Kristalina Georgieva, European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid, International Cooperation, and Crisis Response, will arrive in Thailand on Saturday. She will visit camps hosting refugees from Burma and will discuss with the Royal Thai Government the concrete measures to build a sustainable future for the refugees. “Right now, the world’s attention is focusing on another humanitarian emergency -- that in Northern Africa, but we cannot lose sight of these other places, such as Thailand, where humanitarian needs persist and where we have the chance to be part of the solution,” she said ahead of her trip.

9/11: Something Happened?

A planned spectacle used to justify continuous war

• 911truth.org

Jim Hoffman (911research.wtc7.net)

By now it's quite predictable: Every year as the anniversary of the attack approaches, some of the most established mainstream media brands are pressed into service to sell the official story of 9/11. The 2009 iteration of this spectacle is notable for the contrast between the designated brand and the obligatory message. That brand, best known for its high-brow photojournalistic National Geographic Magazine, has existed since 1889, complete with a non-profit Society dedicated to education in geography, archaeology, history, world cultures, and natural science. One can't help but wonder how National Geographic's many benefactors would feel if they understood how the brand was being used to prop up the "War on Terror" with its Popular-Mechanics-style attack piece to be aired on August 31, 2009.

New ID rules begin today for Mexico, Canada travel

BLAINE, Washington (June 1, 2009) – New rules requiring passports or new high-tech documents to cross the United States' northern and southern borders are taking effect Monday, as some rue the tightening of security and others hail it as long overdue.

The rules are being implemented nearly eight years after the Sept. 11 attacks and long after the 9/11 Commission recommended the changes. They were delayed by complaints from state officials who worried... More>>
