OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WANTS/PLANS GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF THE MEDIA

"Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of Obama's Federal Trade Commission, is at the epicenter of a quiet movement to subsidize news organizations, a first step toward government control of the media."

 "Now Leibowitz has begun to pounce. A May 24 working paper on "reinventing" the media proposes that the government impose fees on websites such as the Drudge Report that link to news websites or that it tax consumer electronics such as iPads, laptops, and Kindles. Funds raised by these levies would be redistributed to traditional media outlets."

"We can see a future in which news media are reluctant to be too partisan or opinionated for fear that they would endanger their public subsidy".

These "traditional media outlets" that the levies would be "redistributed to" most probably would become the mouthpieces of the government as they would be recipients of federal money and thus come under government control.

The private, non-governmental news outlets that relay to us the non-whitewashed truth would eventually be unable to stay financially afloat due to the taxes bullied out of them. 

Any operating expenses would be thereby given unto the government controlled media who would, of course, relay only government approved news.

Therefore, only the "news" that the government wants the American citizens to know would be broadcast and then only with their "spin".

This is just more indication of the coming tyranny in America, as we continue to slide down the slippery slope of socialism. 

We are slipping fast and will soon land on the road to the one world government, led by the prophesied antichrist:

Daniel 11:36 "Then the king shall do according to his own will; he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god..."

REMOVING OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS ON THEIR AGENDA-THEY CONTROL US IF THEY CONTROL THE FLOW OF INFORMATION

THE GOAL IS TO SHUT DOWN THE FLOW OF INFORMATION TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE-IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, WE WON'T REBEL!

They have been pushing for suppression of free speech  through the "Fairness Doctrine" for many years but with Obama in control and with the all the czars that HE appointed that only have to report to HIM they can either back door this removal of our right to free speech or else they could just legislate it because they are in power and will remain in power through all their underhanded methods. See the below linked blog entry for details of the many ways by which the current administration plans to stay in power as long as they live:

The following excerpts detailing their plans to remove free speech and to cease the flow of information to the populace are from an article entitled "Stealing Freedom: Democrat 'Media Reform'":

"Our massive strategy was to use the Fairness Doctrine to challenge and harass right-wing broadcasters and hope the challenges would be so costly to them that they would be inhibited and decide it was too expensive to continue."

--Bill Ruder, Democratic campaign consultant and Assistant Secretary of Commerce, Kennedy Administration"

"They know that whoever controls the information citizens see and hear has enormous influence on how they vote. In the tradition of those who care for party and power more than country, they work diligently to undermine the basic freedoms that guarantee dissenting voices are heard. They disguise their intentions under buzz words like "fairness" and "democratic expression" to appeal to the public's sense of fair play, all while funneling millions of dollars into false front "bi-partisan" think tanks and media "watchdog groups" designed to mislead millions with push-polls, straw-man studies, and outright disinformation.

IF WE ARE IGNORANT OF THEIR ACTIONS, THEN THERE WILL NOT BE AN UPRISING!
