disseminating hard news and insightful, fact-based analysis of the
harsh realities too often ignored or distorted by the mainstream press.
Amerikaz Most Wanted Takes On OReilly
by Kurt Nimmo Regardless of what you may or may not think about Snoop Dogg, admittedly misogynistic gangsta rap, and the hip hop scene, Snoops recent appearance on a Dutch television talkshow is worth the watchthat is if you dont mind a bit of profanity.
Snoop Dogg, aka Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., had some choice words for the Fox News loudmouth, Bill OReilly, who wants the highly successful rap star slammed in prison for smoking marijuana and carrying guns that can kill people.
It should come as no surprise OReilly wants Snoop Dogg locked uphe offered to build a special prison, just for Broadus, and name it the Dog Houseas he obviously believes the state has the right to tell people what they can or cannot put in their bodies. As well, OReilly obviously has contempt for the Second Amendment, especially when it comes to people of color carrying weapons for protection (and, yes, Bill, like it or not, guns are designed for self defense).
No doubt OReilly would like to see Snoop Dogg endure the
fate suffered by one of his previous victims, Sami al-Arian, who is
near death in an Atlanta federal prison. Al-Arian, one of the most
prominent Palestinian academics and activists in the United States, was
acquitted last December of eight of 17 federal charges against himhe
stood accused of racketeering, conspiracy, and providing material
support to Islamic Jihadand the jury deadlocked on the remaining
charges. The case of Sami al-Arian is a story of persecution,
perseverance, and, ultimately, the determination of those in power to
criminalize resistance and punish Palestinian activism, subverting not
only the principles of justice but also their own criminal justice
system in order to do so, writes Charlotte Kates. In short, al-Arian
is a political prisoner.
I appreciate you coming on the
program, but if I was the CIA, Id follow you wherever you went. Id
follow you 24 hours, OReilly said when al-Arian made the mistake of
appearing on the No Spin Zone OReilly Factor. In the days following
the unwise appearance, al-Arian received a spate of death threats, was
arrested by the FBI, and was summarily fired from his position as a
professor in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of
South Florida in Tampa, Florida.
As the self-appointed attack
dog of Bushzarro world, OReilly has lately taken on Rosie ODonnell
for expressing her opinion on the 15 British sailors held by Iran and,
considered unpardonable by conservatives and neocons, her opinion the
government was behind the events of September 11, 2001. False flag
operations are covert operations conducted by governments,
corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as
if they are being carried out by other entities, ODonnell wrote on
her blog earlier in the week. For the crime of deviating from the sort
of government propaganda and brainwashing dispensed by Fox
Newsessentially the Bush Ministry of DisinformationOReilly has
called for ABC to fire Rosie. These women arent speaking for
themselves, OReilly said of the Views ODonnell and Joy Behar. And
I think both of you understand what Im saying. Theyre spitting out
the worst propaganda that is fed to them by far-left American haters on
the net.
Simply demanding ABC fire ODonnell, of course, is not
enough. Hours after the popular television host made her remarks,
MSNBCs Joe Scarborough had the washed up childhood actor and former
drug addict Danny Bonaduce on his show. Personally I think at this
point if anyone had a rope thick enough, I think that Rosie should be
strung up for treason, Bonaduce told the washed-up conservative
politician Scarborough. Because Bonaduce doesnt have the intellectual
capacity nor the decorum to calmly refute Rosie with reasoning, logic
and evidence, his only recourse is to impetuously demand she be
killed, notes Paul Joseph Watson. In fact, Bonaduces vicious remarks
are part and parcel of the neocon strategy to undermine all who have
the audacity to question the government and the official version of
events, essentially a Brothers Grimm story on steroids.
In order
to understand the mindset behind these attacks, consider OReillys
segment with conservative (i.e., neocon) radio talkshow host Mike
Gallagher. In the segment, OReilly claims questioning the government
is not a free speech issue, as the Bill of Rights gives another
tool to Americas enemies, that is to say terrorists groomed and
nurtured by the CIA and Pakistans ISI. Gallagher, to his credit,
defends the First Amendment right of the billionaire entrepreneur Mark
Cuban, who will apparently distribute the film Loose Change Final Cut
which will be narrated by Charlie Sheen.
It is not a free
speech argument to question the government and obviously Bill OReilly
would like nothing better than to see Rosie ODonnell, Mark Cuban,
Charlie Sheen, and no small number of lesser known critics of the
government suffer the fate of Sami al-Arian, if not, as the reactionary
Danny Bonaduce would have it, strung up from the nearest oak tree. But
then, fascists of OReilly and Bonaduces ilk are notoriousor rather
their henchmen and sycophants are notoriousfor torturing and killing
all who would dare question their orthodoxy, that is after they manage
to get them fired, disgraced, and followed around by the CIA.
