NYT NSA source, Tice...The SWIFTBOATING has started! KKKROVE hit-piece

[in_cog_ni_to]

JUST LOOK AT THE TITLE OF THIS ARTICLE! If KKKRove didn't write this, I'll eat my shoe! Last week I posted an editorial written by one of Tice's friends and he painted quite a different picture of Mr. Russell Tice. I'll see if I can find that and post it if I do. Just read this article...KKKRove is at it again.:grr: Anyone know who Jim Kouri is?

NY Times Used Psychotic Paranoid as NSA Spy Story Source?
By Jim Kouri

<snip>
Tice was testifying because he was a National Security Agency intelligence officer who was stripped of his security clearance after he reported his suspicions that a former colleague at the Defense Intelligence Agency was a spy. The matter was dismissed by the DIA, but Tice obsessively kept pushing and was subsequently ordered to take a psychological examination during which he was diagnosed as paranoid. Of course, the leftists and the news media are either saying or insinuating that his dismissal is related to the NSA surveillance program in order to bolster the image of a "brave whistleblower."

But there is more to the story: Tice was diagnosed by the Defense Department with "psychotic" paranoia and fired for apparently violating his security clearance by taking unauthorized peeks into the background of a female Asian employee he thought was a Chinese spy. In fact, Tice was involved in high-tech stalking of the woman. He also displayed racist tendencies.

Another fact, conveniently overlooked by the mainstream news media, is that Russell Tice was a China Analyst for the NSA, which brings up the question of how he knows so much about terrorism in the Middle East. The NSA surveillance program was a counterterrorism program with nothing to do with the communist Chinese.

Tice was one of the New York Times sources for its wiretapping story, but he told the committee the information he provided was not secret and could have been provided by a private sector electronic communications professional. Using his logic, he would have you believe that he possessed a super-secret security clearance that few possess. One source told me that part of his "fantasy" is his belief he's a super-spy -- America's own James Bond.<snip>

1. Swiftboating is now the norm in American politics.

Since many in the the viewing/listening public seem content with having pure crap spoon fed to them (no thinking required) I fear this is the way things are going to be.

The Bushies don`t give a damn who they slice to bits as long as the end results favor them. Bullying is now a behavior to be lauded. It`s nasty out there.

[bluemarkers]

2. slowly we are waking up

or at least I hope so. Pieces such as this (and I don't think this is the first on Tice) will become less and less believable as the lies are revealed.

(little miss sunshine I am)

love your Cav, btw

3. Jim Kouri

the right's answer to...well various kooks who write stories that have no evidence, just speculation and emotion-laden hyperbole to enflame their fanbase.

[leveymg]

8. Kouri is a hack for ERW New Media Alliance and AXcess News

He's part of what appears to be a big corporate sponsored Right Wing media operation that spans two coasts, more than 60 websites, an on-campus organizing operation, a financial services company, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, a PR group, and one very busy financial huckster in Reno, Nevada touting a new-media business model dot-com that shares advertising revenues from corporate giants Ameritrade, SBC Corp, and Circuit City out to conservative pundits across the United States and Canada.

This is Reverend Moon meets the Bulldog.

Here's another "news" article by Kouri from the same site that carries content from Axcess News.

Activist Judge Turning Over Top Secret NSA Files to Leftists

By Jim Kouri

(AXcess News) New York - On Thursday, a federal judge decided that Americans' safety and security takes a back-seat to a left-wing groups' right to view and promulgate top secret National Security Agency documents relating to the terrorism surveillance program. In this case, one of the left-wing groups has direct ties to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), who was forced to step down from his perch on the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1987 over allegations he leaked classified information to news reporters.

Take a look at the advertisers at the site: Corporate GOP Campaign Biggies - Ameritrade, SBC, Circuit City. The site also gives you a TribalFuision Cookie, so run your Spyware washer afterwards if you must go there yourself.

Online News Publisher to Join The Open Content Alliance
AXcess News to become first online news publisher to open its vast archive of news articles to the public through the Open Content Alliance. Other news org.'s balk at free online access.
Distribution Source : ArriveNet

Date : Sunday, November 06, 2005


Reno, Nevada -- (ArriveNet - Nov 06, 2005) -- Sunday, AXcess News petitioned the Open Content Alliance to join the nonprofit organization and offer its vast archive of news articles to help build a permanent archive of multilingual digitized text and multimedia content from around the world.

The Open Content Alliance (OCA) represents the collaborative efforts of a group of cultural, technology, nonprofit, and governmental organizations from around the world that will help build a permanent archive of multilingual digitized text and multimedia content. The OCA was conceived by the Internet Archive and Yahoo! in early 2005 as a way to offer broad, public access to a rich panorama of world culture.

AXcess News is the largest closely held electronic publisher of broad news online in the nation with 92 cities in its network.



"We believe the Open Content Alliance is one of the best cooperative efforts to truly adhere to what the World Wide Web is all about - free access to information globally," said Eric Stevenson, AXcess News editor.

Stevenson noted that many news organizations use their archives as a profit center, charging users access to that information, which he believes is to "old school".

"If you are going to put your news online then you shouldn't be forcing readers to sign up for unwanted email just to read that content and worse, charge them to access your archives," said Stevenson. "The Open Content Alliance is the future of the web at its purest and AXcess News in its offer to join and contribute is trying to do its part to expand information and knowledge to everyone. We challenge old-school print news organizations to do the same and support the development of the OCA."

WIKEPEDIA describes the history of Axcees News: AXcess News started out as an online newsletter for a financial service and slowly evolved its publishing format but retained its financial market content.

By 2002 it had evolved into a news web publisher though still covering financial markets. During 2003 it expanded its news coverage to include the broad news topics it publishes today. In late 2003 it began developing its network approach to online news, adding the first 25 city news sites.

In 2004 the network of city news sites had expanded to 92 and AXcess News started syndicating online news for a Canadian online news network. A second online news network was also in development in the UK, and AXcess News then entered into reciprocating agreements to syndicate online news between both organizations.

As of 2005, AXcess News is preparing to join both the Canadian and United Kingdom based online publishing organizations in forming one global network, each publisher maintaining its own identity, yet all three cooperating to provide readers everywhere with high quality news as it breaks from across the 230 cities they serve.

Here a puff bio about Eric Stevenson: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2002/5/prweb39497.htm

Eric Stevenson Becomes Featured Columnist for BizWiz.com

Financial pundit, Eric Stevenson, becomes featured columnist for BizWiz.com


Phoenix, AZ (PRWeb.Com) - May 2002. Eric Stevenson, long recognized by the financial news media as one of America's leading financial guru's, began writing a regular column for bizwiz.com, one of America's leading on-line business portals.

Eric agreed to become a featured columnist for BizWiz.com in late April, sighting the need to offer the business community access to financial news without spin.

Considered a pundit by the financial news media, Stevenson has given interviews to the Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones and others on his views towards some of the more controversal merger and acquisitions that took place on Wall Street, such as the Compaq/HP merger.

More recently he has begun to speak out against some of the major Telco's, such as Qwest and Worldcom, sighting their huge debt loads and risks associated with owning those companies shares.

"Its my view that the financial community needs to be more responsible on its reporting to the media. Especially in the wake of the witch hunt Wall Street analysts have been facing lately from the SEC." Said Stevenson.

"I am going to write what I believe the business community and investors need to read, not what sells ad copy. BizWiz is well respected and I think they offer real information people need and want. That's why I agreed to become a featured columnist." Stevenson said.

About Eric Stevenson
Eric is one the leading management analysts in the United States and a recognized economist with the American Economic Association. He is editor of theaxcess.net, a pioneer in on-line financial newsletters and founding President of Axiom Capital Corporation. (www.axiomcapital.net)

Stevenson has developed his financial info wire reporting service into an ERW web-based news network which he rents to swiftboaters, like Kouri. Here's his call for content providers ("beta testers"), who are paid a portion of the revenues gained from his big corporate advertisers at his news site: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/8/prweb277822.htm

Call For Writers - News Org Beta Tests New Network

AXcess News is opening its network to writers in a beta test of its new system. The top writers will get a chance to join a news co-op and share in its royalties.

Reno, NV (PRWEB) August 29, 2005 -- Few writers get the chance to make it in the news trade, that's why AXcess News has opened its network to writers across all topics. In testing its new system, AXcess News has decided to accept stories for display across one of the largest online news networks in the USA."We decided to give writers a chance while we beta test our new web platform," said Eric Stevenson, Editor-in-chief AXcess News.

AXcess News is accepting stories in technology, business, environmental, health, world, national, entertainment and sports topics.Those writers whose stories show the most reader interest will be invited to join a pure web news co-op being launched later this year. The co-op was formed through a partnership of three online news networks in the USA, CA and UK that displays stories instantly in 230 major metro markets. Co-op members will receive a 20% royalty on all stories they submit.

Stevenson went on to say, "Web publishers are given the 'cold shoulder' by news organizations that refuse to accept them. Even smaller newspapers are fed up with them and the ever-increasing costs of that news. "They'll 'sell you news', but you're not good enough to submit your stories - unless your a newspaper and even then the larger syndicates dominate it. "That's why three online publishers got together and agreed to form a news cooperative for small newspapers and web publishers where they share their content - and its revenue.

Here's your chance to become part of the first web-based global news organization that's opening its membership ranks to columnists and journalists worldwide who believe news should not be controlled by a handful of newspaper syndicates.To submit your stories for the beta test, go to http://www.axcessnews.com/ and use the Contact Us form. Stories should be written in English. No foreign language submissions will be accepted. Columnists and newsletter publishers are encouraged to participate. Articles should be limited to no more than 500 words.

Meanwhile, Stevenson still operates his financial services company, Axiom Capital. This from a site in China, WunZhang, which is associated with Axiom Capital Corporation. This site hosts a vanity puff piece that describes itself as part of "PRWeb": http://www.wunzhang.com/firm/prf868.htm

What can I say, except here's fodder for many hours of further research. Please, be my guest, and follow this one as far as it goes. Like the Bulldog in the White House Press Corps story, I bet it leads to a fascinating cast of characters in the Extreme Right Wing.

[dusmcj]

4. VP of chiefs of police assn, former NYPD narc

see http://www.jimkouri.us and search for "kouri AND jim OR JAMES", good stuff appears.

Big on "psychological profiling" to fight terror.

So let's profile him. Veteran of the crack wars in NYC in the 1980s, from the NY environment, which suggests that he will prioritize application of power over ethics, seems fairly firmly in the corner of the LAPD "we have the power" style of law enforcement. His personal website has a big anti-UN symbol on it, along with links to the usual suspects among fringe right-wing ranters.

Executive summary: RW fringe hack, ignorable. Too bad he's in a position of social influence.

[RazzleDazzle]

5. Actually, I think Rove could write better than that

very poorly written -- high school quality, at best, with a real gossipy tone to it, but alas, nothing like a sophisticated gossip column. Yuck.

[txindy]

14. Oh, I don't know. He is a college dropout, after all.

He had "other priorities" like smearing candidates in elections, but I imagine he wasn't a bookworm, anyway. He'd probably rather pay someone to write well than bother with it, himself.

[dusmcj]

6. insight into their culture

the below made the rounds of gun boards, most of which are neutral to mildly anti-law enforcement (the Waco & Ruby Ridge memorializing extremists aren't evident anymore, but the understanding of past police (e.g. LAPD) & ATF excesses WRT gun law enforcement and assertion of government control still is there) and caused great amusement because: the fellow pictured is a member of NYPD's "Hercules" squad, who are decked out as homegrown special ops forces to take down terrorists and major criminals. All good, more power to them, I hope them come home safe every day. The problem is, the rather expensive telescopic sight on his rifle is mounted backwards. Were he to use it, it would shine a small red dot of light into his eye. Now, you may say, just another photo op organized by flacks, what do you expect. But since the gentleman is a serving member of the tip of NYPD's spear, and since NYPD was trying to demonstrate their prowess and readiness to keep the sheeple, I mean public, under control, I mean safe, there is the suggestion that there are some problems with the underlying culture in this age of the WOT. Like the usual suspects have found a great excuse to create their usual boys' dicksize comparing club, and "safety from terror" works out to nothing more than that. This would confirm stereotypes of law enforcement as being peopled by males with a history of abuse from their parents and significant inadequacy complexes which they appease by abusing authority conveyed on them by their badge. We know those stereotypes are incorrect, but people like Mr. Kouri support, rather than undermine, them.

[tanyev]

7. That's how they protect themselves.

If the truth is so outrageous that anyone who starts talking is diagnosed with psychotic paranoia, then they can get away with anything.

[Nikki Stone 1]

9. Disgusting

Here we go again.

[cascadiance]

10. I was thinking of posting the exact same thing this morning

After seeing the tons of "news" hits from Kouri's article this morning on a google search of Russell Tice! How the swiftboating is on for Tice! What is with these fascists! Do they really believe there is room for all of them to "have their way" in this move towards dictatorship that they seem to be blessing in the course of destroying any obstacles towards it?

Damn! My hats off to folks like Russell Tice and Sibel Edmonds, that can endure this kind of abuse and keep fighting for our country's principles!

Heck, I was just thinking that Google should offer a means to have sites that you can "black list" in your searches so that you don't get you searches cluttered with CRAP like his article when trying to find meaningful articles on folks like Tice. Maybe an option you can turn on or off when doing searches so that you can see when the looney bin is doing their swiftboating, but you can also do some honest research without wading through B.S.!

[johnaries]

11. Everyone should see this video:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=460893&mesg_id=460893

He doesn't look like a psychotic paranoid to me!

[Ksec]

12. So now that we know their game,

What are we going to do about it?

[stop the bleeding]

13. K&R!! - We are in a WAR people n/t
