Is there now a U.S. Gestapo??? Where is James Gordon Meek?

Indie Media vs. FASCISM

How did The Daily Beast and Rolling Stone become two of the most aggressive smear factories of the US neoliberal establishment, and did US intelligence play a role?

Establishment smear merchants The Daily Beast, Rolling Stone and their perceptible intelligence ties

Also #TWITTER is currently trying to undermine this journalism by putting up a fake “warning” if you click there from that site. That is libel, smearing a website domain with fake warnings to scare people who don’t know better.

Oliver Stone Defends “JFK Revisited”

Oliver Stone 

“I’m enclosing the letter Jim DiEugenio and I wrote in response to Rolling Stone’s attack on our film, “JFK Revisited.” –Tim Weiner’s review of “JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass” suffers from “Russiagate” paranoia, as do many of his colleagues embedded in our Government-Media world, wherein the malevolent Russians seem to be responsible not only for the election of Trump, but the continuing sabotage of our cyber-infrastructures. Supposedly wanting their glorious Communist Empire back, they are prepared to invade both Ukraine and NATO countries. Good vs. Evil scenarios seem to work for most American people. But Weiner goes far afield when he includes “JFK” in his contempt for so-called “tinfoil-hatted fabricators” who have no reason to believe the Warren Commission cover-up. Weiner has failed to update his tired angle on the assassination. In fact, the Russians were working successfully at a détente with JFK, leading to the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. When he was killed, Russian hopes — and the hopes of many liberated regions of the world (Egypt, India, Indonesia, and Africa) — were smashed as the hardliners in our Government once again protected their interests. (1) He accuses Jim DiEugenio, the writer of the documentary, and myself of falling for Russia’s trickery in using an Italian newspaper to blame Allen Dulles for his involvement in a military coup to overthrow Charles de Gaulle in ’61. But we did not use this Italian newspaper. We used David Talbot’s books, “The Devil’s Chessboard” and “Brothers,” The London Observer, and Weiner’s employer at that time, The New York Times — as well as French newspapers L’Express and Le Monde and sources close to de Gaulle like André Malraux and Alain Peyrefitte to pinpoint the enmity of Dulles, working with the mutinous generals against the policies of de Gaulle in Algeria. (2) Nor did Jim Garrison base his ideas about Kennedy’s assassination on that same marginal Italian newspaper. He did so by investigating the things Lee Harvey Oswald did in the summer of ’63 in New Orleans and the people he associated with. Authors like Jeff Morley (“The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton”) and John Newman (“Oswald and the CIA”) have taken those discoveries further, and we interviewed both men in our film. Weiner does not mention either interview.(3) We largely relied on the database of documents that was released by the Assassination Records Review Board (1994-1998), which Weiner covered as a reporter for The New York Times, but did us no favors with his tepid interpretations of their work. We interviewed three technical experts who worked for that Board. And we display many documents the Board declassified. “JFK Revisited” is the first documentary to do this. We are not mystical or faith-based. We are data-based.Signed,Oliver Stone & Jim DiEugenio –My 1991 film “JFK” still bothers people like Tim Weiner deeply. Why? Because it’s true, and in its largest implications, it’s devastating. It defeats the meaning of their life’s work propping up the CIA.Based on our past ‘success’ with America’s major media, we have to assume Rolling Stone will not publish our letter on this seemingly taboo subject. And on that basis I publish this letter here first for those who care; it’s a worthy struggle to fact-check ill-intended slander and malice in the belief that we can seek and achieve the truth in the JFK murder for its own sake.

RS Shameless Hit Piece Against Jill Stein

 

Rolling Stone — didn’t they used to have comments? No more. They tell you now; you don’t tell them. Maybe that came out of their recent fake college rape scandal and lawsuits? They probably don’t want to hear feedback, especially in a public forum.

In this latest bit of political sleazemongering Rolling Stone takes on Jill Stein and the Green Party as if the shit was written by Hillary’s own team of paid, lying ghouls.

Reappearing is this nonsense about vaccines. Without any honesty as to Jill Stein’s actual statements or position they accuse her of “coyly” courting “conspiracy theorists.” The glaring red flag, there it is.

RS also conveniently cuts out specifically what Stein was referring to and inserts ellipses. The mark of a true hack charlatan at work:

“We should not be subjecting kids’ brains especially to that … It’s very hard to study that stuff. We make guinea pigs out of whole populations, and then we discover how many die.”

The missing words were:

“…and we don’t follow that issue in this country but in Europe where they do they have good precautions around wireless, maybe not good enough.”

 

The RS writer mindlessly cheerleads for GMOs without any comprehension of what the issue is:

“And despite abundant evidence that genetically modified foods pose no threats to human health…”
-Tessa Stuart (peddling pseudoscience)

That is a lie. Each GMO is unique and many have been banned. You can engineer a toxic GMO quite easily that would be harmful to human health. So the Monsanto catch phrase she went with is a baldfaced, ignorant lie.

The issue is in public oversight and long-term accountability for the experimental foods put out into our societies without labelling or tracking the human health consequences.

Tessa Stuart, hack.

PS

Since Dr. Stein graduated top of her class and is a medical professional for decades, Tessa, perhaps the courtesy of quoting her actual positions when you attempt to smear her good name? Is that too much to ask, bitch?

 

Am. Sniper: Too Dumb to Criticize

Rolling Stone:

‘American Sniper’ Is Almost Too Dumb to Criticize

Sniper is a movie whose politics are so ludicrous and idiotic that under normal circumstances it would be beneath criticism.

The REAL State of the Union…

Rolling Stone with the reality check (mate):

1. New income generated since 2009 that has gone to the top 1 percent: 95 percent

2. Financial wealth controlled by the bottom 60 percent of all Americans: 2.3 percent

3. Record combined wealth of the top 400 richest Americans: $2,000,000,000,000

4. Real decline in median middle-class incomes since 1999: $5,000

5. Percentage of Hispanic and African-American children living in poverty, respectively: 33.8 percent; 36.7 percent

6. Amount that food stamps will be cut in 2014: $5 billion

7. Federal minimum wage: $7.25

8. What the minimum wage would be if it had kept pace with gains in worker productivity since 1968: $21.72

In Memory of Michael Hastings

The investigative Rolling Stone reporter who destroyed general Stanley McChristal was at the time of his explosive, fiery car crash, working on a story concerning the … guess who?  Well, read the news:

Michael Hastings Probed the CIA Before Fatal Hollywood Crash

Car Was Speeding, Engine Flew 100 Feet, Cops Say

WikiLeaks says Michael Hastings contacted it just before his death. Are they implying he was murdered?

Hacking a car (Q&A)

 

“It sounded like a bomb went off in the middle of the night. My house shook. The windows were rattling.”

In Hastings’ 2012 book, The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan, Hastings says a McChrystal staffer said to him, “We’ll hunt you down and kill you if we don’t like what you write.”

Make of that what you will.
