WOOT! An amazing thing has happened. When I hit google news I saw Ron Paul’s name on the front page, I was a bit suprised. It was the media reaction related to Ron Paul and his “unexpected fund raising numbers”. In my opinion as a Ron Paul supporter, the numbers were only unexpected to mainstream media. What a great victory for freedom and liberty - but there is still a tough road ahead for Paul. I hope he can raise 12 million in the next round, from what I have seen this 5 million may be the frugal gourmets’ recipe for success on the campaign trail. With already huge grassroots support and a lot of hardcore followers, Ron Paul really has a chance to win the Presidency.

I have been a supporter of Ron Paul for a few months. My family attended a rally in Salt Lake City and thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Paul’s speech. We are now supporting him with bumper stickers, a yard sign and word of mouth - I think I may contribute to a political campaign for the first time in my life! My point, I have never been driven to political activism with such vigor by any other cause before. This is different - it seems to me like a chance to help preserve the freedom and rights of Americans.

So I watched the news, first fox13 at 9:00 then it was KUTV 2 news at 10:00. A bit after I even caught BBS World news on PBS. I admit - I’m a news junkie - but sometimes this gives a benefit - a little glimpse through the bullshit that exposes what shit most media is. I saw fear mongering dropped firsthand in several instances and it was complete bullshit. The kind of thing that is brainwashing Americans and discrediting the search for truth. First on FOX News - the broadcaster spoke about Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and he commented on how Ahmadinejad spoke on & answered questions on topics such as: the destruction of Israel, the Holocaust, and disbelief in the official story behind the 9.11.2001 attacks on the United States. This seemed like quite a jab to those who don’t fully agree with the 9-11 commission report, and the notion that all questions are answered. Pretty brazen, but I guess I sorta expected it too, after all this was FOX!

Thirty minutes later and 2 News (Local CBS) strikes from main street! once again the top national story is Ahmadinejad’s visit to Columbia University - and immediately following: a recap of what he spoke of. They mentioned how he didn’t believe the holocaust ever happened, and he questioned the official story of 9-11. I found the manner in which news outlets portrayed anyone who questions the government on 9-11 grouped with those who don’t believe in the holocaust. That the concept of even questiong the events that took place on 9-11 is so morally wrong that it can be compared to denying the deaths of millions of Jews. Wow - am I going to hell because of 9-11 truth or has the world gone mad? (Hopefully not) BBC thankfully focused on the bullshit that Ahmadinejad really did say and made no mention of 9-11 remarks. Don’t get me wrong, I love Iranians, but not so much their oppressive leadership - his disdain by Americans - was a little dent in the 9-11 truth movement and acted as a gateway to one of the thousands of ingredients in the media brainwashing recipe.
