FCC Approves Foreign Takeover Of U.S. Broadcasters <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NewZeal/~3/Ay_4YHvuiXg/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email> Posted: 21 Oct 2016 05:00 AM PDT *By: Jerry Kenney | Accuracy in Media <http://www.aim.org/aim-column/fcc-approves-foreign-takeover-of-u-s-broadcasters/>* [image: fcc] <http://noisyroom.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/FCC-e1477050941517.png> *Exclusive to Accuracy in Media* The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on September 29th did something worse than give up control of the Internet. They voted unanimously to put America’s entire broadcast industry on the fast track to a foreign takeover by Chinese, Russian or Muslim Brotherhood front corporations. This new FCC rule <http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2016/db0930/FCC-16-128A1.pdf> gives foreign interests the long sought-after tools they need to shape U.S. public opinion and to censor the opposition. Once a foreign corporation scoops up a media business, such as a chain of radio stations, it can eliminate national and local programming and substitute its own government’s propaganda. That means that conservative talkers could find themselves off the air. Citing the need for “change” from the old “vintage” laws, Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel declared that “laws that govern broadcast investment can get in the way <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBOfHK4Ugfc&feature=youtu.be&t=1m26s>.” So, rather than respect the law and Congress, the FCC decided in a 5 to 0 vote to decree a new “rule” that effectively guts a law that protected Americans from foreign interests and their propaganda. The new rule assumes that any foreign owner of a TV or radio broadcaster will be acceptable unless someone can prove otherwise. The FCC claims that under the new rule national security concerns will be reviewed by the proper authorities. Do they mean the same authorities that signed off on the Iran nuclear deal and the Russian uranium purchase? So now, in addition to keeping an eye on terror cells in the U.S., our security agents will be required to follow the money-trail in closed societies like China, Russia and Middle Eastern monarchies to make sure that new station owners are not tied to foreign governments. Really? Sadly, Congress appears to be content to be left in the dark on the subject. An example of our blissfully-ignorant Congress was on display a couple of weeks prior to the FCC vote, when the entire FCC commission testified before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation in a hearing entitled, “Oversight of the Federal Communications Commission.” Even though the FCC had announced it was planning a vote on new foreign ownership rules over a year ago, during a three-hour hearing <http://www.commerce.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/hearings?ID=7AEC5792-41D2-4FD2-A894-B54B1CFFE31C> the subject was never raised by one senator. Handing over America’s public airwaves to foreign interests by sidestepping longstanding law ought to be something that the Senate “overseers” should be at least curious about, don’t you think? At the final FCC vote, Commissioner Ajit Pai said the new rule will “give broadcasters greater access to capital <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBOfHK4Ugfc&feature=youtu.be&t=2m11s>.” Accessing capital by selling 100 percent interest in a business? Isn’t that called selling out? Only in Washington is a going-out-of-business sale called “accessing capital.” If accessing capital is the main issue, I guess by that standard we should repeal the laws that make bank robbery illegal, too. After all, aren’t bank robbers just accessing capital? No, there is much more at stake here than just capital. It’s called a free and independent press. Thanks to the FCC, soon foreign interests will be able to masquerade as your friendly neighborhood TV or radio station (the national media sold out long ago). And you can count on them waving the American flag as they do it. Remember Al Jazeera America buying Al Gore’s Current TV? The Wall Street Journal and Reuters have reported extensively on Chinese purchases of movie theater chains and Hollywood production companies, including a current bid to buy Dick Clark Productions <http://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-wanda-group-in-talks-to-acquire-dick-clark-productions-1474925658>. Chinese interests have also leased local underperforming AM radio stations <http://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/china-radio/> in major U.S. markets such as Washington D.C. Based on the nature of those deals and their financial losses, it is clear that China’s interest in entering the U.S. media market is more to influence public opinion than to turn a profit. Yet in her attempt to justify the FCC action, Commissioner Rosenworcel said <https://youtu.be/gBOfHK4Ugfc?t=1m39s> the old laws “were put in place to prevent foreign powers from disrupting ship-to-shore governmental communications during warfare.” She also said, “But just as horses and bayonets are not the tools of modern warfare, the cyber threats we face today are not especially well-guarded by these prohibitions.” But cyber threats are not the only threats we face. The good old fashioned Cold War tools of warfare called “disinformation” and propaganda have been enhanced by modern technology, not made obsolete by it. Just ask the ISIS fighters who have been recruited by sophisticated Internet videos. Broadcasting is not just another pipe through which you deliver data. A broadcaster controls the message and the content. So why did this happen? The current FCC commissioners are mostly lawyers and lobbyists with political connections to both political parties. These political parties depend on financial contributions from major corporations, including media corporations. They want the option of dumping their broadcast properties off on cash-heavy foreign buyers, no matter what impact it has on the public’s right to know. The system is rigged, even in favor of the foreign interests buying up America. * *Jerry Kenney, a television producer from Port Orange, Florida, has filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice alleging that foreign channels RT and Al Jazeera have both violated the law by not disclosing in their U.S. propaganda broadcasts that they are agents of foreign powers. He has also alleged violations of FCC rules that have given Al Jazeera and RT access to taxpayer-funded public television stations.* <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/NewZeal?a=Ay_4YHvuiXg:UhdpncxiuHg:yIl2AUoC8zA> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/NewZeal?a=Ay_4YHvuiXg:UhdpncxiuHg:qj6IDK7rITs> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/NewZeal?a=Ay_4YHvuiXg:UhdpncxiuHg:F7zBnMyn0Lo> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/NewZeal?a=Ay_4YHvuiXg:UhdpncxiuHg:V_sGLiPBpWU> Hillary Clinton: America’s Most Dangerous “Enemy Within” <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NewZeal/~3/ch-gxUXXqzY/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email> Posted: 20 Oct 2016 03:46 PM PDT *By: Lloyd Marcus* [image: trevor] <http://noisyroom.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Trevor.jpg> >From Florida, I flew out to Reno to entertain at the 2016 Nevada Women’s Expo. In between my shows, I made pit-stops in my hotel room. Folks, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. Every news TV channel I turned to was beating the crap out of Trump trying to brand him an abuser of women. Leaked Hillary emails have revealed that the mainstream media gets its marching orders from the Clinton campaign. *http://fxn.ws/2erLReT <http://fxn.ws/2erLReT>* Thus, the media fix is in; portray Trump in a red hoodie with a pitchfork; portray wicked-crooked Hillary as angelic, wearing a pure white flowing gown. Never have I seen such a shock-and-awe orchestrated media campaign to demonize a candidate. On the issue of “abuse of women”, if we had a fair and balanced mainstream media rather than operatives of the Clinton campaign, Hillary’s advisers would have begged her, “Pleeeeease Ma’am, don’t go there!!!” Hillary and Bill’s records of abusing women is horrific (assault, rape, Hillary humiliating a 12 year old girl to get her rapist off and more) *http://bit.ly/1MDvZug <http://bit.ly/1MDvZug>*. And yet, the Clintons arrogantly know they can get away with attempting to brand Trump an abuser of women while they belong in the Infamous Abusers of Women Hall of Shame. Folks, it is beyond repulsive and stomach turning watching our Leftist enemies deceptively promoting this evil woman as an angel of light. During the extremely rough flight into Reno for the Women’s Expo (my wife Mary’s nails pressed firmly into my thigh), I watched a DVD of Trevor Loudon’s extremely scary, compelling and yet hopeful new movie, “Enemies Within.” Trevor’s movie brings home the reality that Communism and Sharia Law could become the law of the land in America. I realize that sounds “far-out”, as we said in the 70s. However, Trevor gives documented evidence to prove his point. “*Enemies Within” zooms in on the best-kept secret of modern politics. Almost no one is aware of the fact that fewer than 20,000 U.S. Communists, socialists and extreme “progressives” are able to influence the politicians and even write the laws that control the lives of over 300 million Americans.” * “Enemies Within” features shocking testimony from an awarded Homeland Security agent who was humiliated and punished by our government for doing his job, collecting data on Islamic terrorists operating in the United States. The agent’s data was removed from the system. The agent was investigated, deemed more of a threat to national security than the terrorists. Trevor’s movie names numerous U.S. Congressmen who are colluding with foreign and domestic enemies. As said in the Twilight Zone movie, *“Wanna see something really scary?”* Hillary Clinton could not pass an FBI security check because of her overt ties to organizations with known associations with terrorism. That should scare your socks off folks. Trevor exposes a long list of high ranking democrats who are in bed with Communist Party USA working to elect as many far left democrats as possible. The movie documents Obama’s communist roots. I remember pundits in both parties having a cow over Victoria Jackson’s song, “There’s A Communist Living in the White House.” *http://bit.ly/1C5Obta <http://bit.ly/1C5Obta>* Watching the movie, I was moved by comments from U.S. Navy Admiral, retired, James “Ace” Lyons. *“Never in my lifetime did I believe I would witness this great country of ours being withdrawn from our world leadership role; and taken down by our own administration.” * Obama with Hillary’s blessing has decimated our military; the smallest army prior to WWII; smallest navy prior to WWI. The Chinese are building 60 ships a year. We are building 9-10 ships per year. We have 1700 nuclear weapons in the overall nuclear balance verses the Russians’ 4500. Our tactical nuclear weapons are obsolete. Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons are new. “Enemies Within” caught Hillary on video vowing to go further than Obama’s implementation of illegal immigration. To gain a permanent progressive majority democrats need more voters. They need illegals. Our enemies within lie is there are 11 million illegals. The truth is there are 20 to 50 million. If the dems can legalize 10, 20, 30 million illegals and give them voting rights, the majority will vote democrat. It would mean game-over for our two party system, the end of America as founded. Bottom line, we cannot allow our enemies within to succeed in putting Hillary Clinton in the White House. The Democrat party platform touts communism hidden under a shroud of more palatable names. Can America become, in essence, a communist nation under Sharia Law? Yes. Yes. Yes, we can! The good news is Trevor’s movie, “Enemies Within” offers solutions. Folks, find out how you can stop our enemies evil takeover.
