Fox News and the Saudi Royals are teaming up to destroy America
Edited on Fri Jan-22-10 09:22 PM by samplegirl
Well, you just knew this was going to happen….the terrorists want to destroy America. They always have. Hell, Osama bin Laden made it his goal, but then again, he didn’t know he could do it without even making a flight reservation.

Rupert Murdoch already owns around half of America’s news media in addition to owning Fox News/News Corp and the Saudi royals own @ 7% of our nation’s wealth, but when the right wing fascist U.S. Supreme Court decided this week to allow businesses in this country to be able to form their own political action groups to give an UNLIMITED amount of money to certain candidates or political causes, it was only a matter of time before these terrorists joined forces to destroy America once and for all! Yep. Fox News and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al-Saud of Saudi Arabia have joined forces….or should I say…are planing on forming alliances with each other, because hey, they must be bored with all this peace around since President Obama took office a year ago! I wonder what the name of their jihad will be? Will they resort to “Death to America”, “Death to American Democracy” or will they be more creative and sneaky so Fox viewers won’t notice what they’re really doing?

Things are getting awfully scary, because the right wingers seem more dangerous to me when they’re Masters are not in the White House! What will be their next move? Overtake the White House, kill our president, and then give the country to Dick Cheney, Mr. Oil Cartel? *cringe* Hey, maybe!

1. IIRC, the Saudi royal family owns the 2nd biggest block of stock in Newscorp (Fox)
Behind only Murdoch himself.

Wonder how many of their dumbass mouth breathing viewers are aware of that?

3. Kingdom Holdings is the #2 investor in NewsCorp.
We got infiltrated 40 years ago when Jimmy Carter's efforts to get us off OPEC oil was torpedoed by Reagan (Bush). Someone sold this country out for short term wealth.

But, consider this, 17/19 hijackers on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia. So how did we react?

1) We exited Saudi Arabia military bases
2) We invaded their #1 enemy
3) We took Iraq's oil reserves off the market...making SA even more wealthy.

When are the rubes going to understand that Fox News delivers the 'news' based on what Saudi Arabia wants the rubes to hear? Al Qaeda = the Republican Party, Explain how I'm wrong with this conclusion.

8. Your point? (Sorry, I think I misread your comment)
Edited on Fri Jan-22-10 11:26 PM by Old and In the Way
Did I mention a timeline? It's worse that he did it in 2002, knowing what we did about the hijackers in 2001. It's actually more incriminating.

The Communist Connection Glenn Beck Doesn't Want to Talk About
One powerful man Fox News' irresponsible nutcase demagogue won't paint red and yellow? His boss.

By John H. Richardson

<snip>


It gets worse. This powerful American has control of a large number of media holdings, and he attempted to curry favor with said communists by ordering one of his book publishing units to release a volume of communist propaganda glorifying Deng Xiaoping, the heir to Chairman Mao.

Another time, he killed a book deal with the last British governor of Hong Kong because of rumors that it would be critical of his communist business partners. When the story broke, the businessman denied it. Then Business Week uncovered internal memos that spoke of "corporate worries" that the book would threaten his business interests in China.

And it gets worse still. This powerful American businessman also owns a Chinese television network called Star TV. Once it carried news programming from the BBC. But after the famous incident when communists attacked unarmed civilians in Tiananmen Square, Star TV's BBC affiliate repeatedly showed the spectacular video clip of a man facing down a tank alone. The communists complained. And the powerful American businessman — who makes a great deal of noise on these shores about being a champion of freedom and free speech and the free market — asked the BBC to stop showing it so often. But the BBC kept airing the clip and the communists kept complaining and finally the businessman ordered his Chinese network to drop the BBC news channel altogether. He insisted this was a business decision and that politics had absolutely nothing to do with it, of course — and, also, the BBC reporters really wanted to spend more time with their families. But subsequently, the supreme leader of the communists praised him for his "objective" approach to Chinese political news.

As I said, this American businessman is a vocal champion of freedom in this country. He owns the Weekly Standard, which supports Bill Kristol and many other influential neoconservatives who are passionately committed to spreading democracy to all oil-producing countries. He put all of his media power behind the Iraq War. He cheered George W. Bush as "a man of great character and deep humility." And he's famously touchy about any criticism of his politics — when The Simpsons ran a parody of Fox News that included headlines like "Do Democrats Cause Cancer?" he threatened to sue the creators of the most successful show in the history of his network.

This is the media mogul who millions of 'patriots' turn for all their 'news' & views? I've tried telling some freeper-types about this cadaverous fuck's toadying up to Chinese autocrats, but all I got was the equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears & singing 'la la la.' Willful ignorance. Whatcha gonna do?
