<snip>The advent of Hitler, on January 30, 1933, to the most absolute personal and ruthless power that the history of absolutism in post-Roman Europe had ever known, was the second most ominous event between the resurgence of absolutism in Russia and then in China. The news of the New York Times can be exemplified by this headline in the New York Times on the next day, January 31, p. 3: “HITLER PUTS ASIDE AIM TO BE DICTATOR.”

AP reported from Berlin, January 30:

“In a press conference, the Chancellor, through Interior Minister Frick, assured Germans and foreign correspondents that 'the new Government seeks to live in peace and friendship with all the world.'”

On March 24, page 2, the New York Times reported that according to a Frankfurter Zeitung editorial:

“Hermann Wilhelm Goering {at Nürnberg in 1946 found guilty of all charges and sentenced to death} has assured the Central Jewish Federation that all Jewish citizens loyal to the government could have the protection of law for person and property.”

On January 30, 1939, the sixth anniversary of the day he became chancellor, Hitler delivered in the Reichstag a marathon speech, which was just so much propaganda verbiage about how peaceful Germany was. Except for one threat. He declared that “if the international Jewish financiers” (read: Britain and France) “go to war with Germany, the result would be the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe.”

The New York Times discussed the speech in great detail. But it did not notice its only important sentence: Hitler's threat to annihilate the Jews in Europe.

5. AP is one thoroughly infiltrated organization
From a PR/advertising/psychomanipulative aspect, many of their articles read like textbooks on "contrasting words".

I am convinced, that as the nation's largest disseminator of wire stories run in hundreds of small-town and large newspapers, the Busheviks set their sights on it as something which had to be gleitschlaung, as the Nazis used to say ("brought into line")

And brought into line it has been, so much so that the Exit Polling which conveniently disappeared in time for the vote thefts in Georgia and Minnesota to go undetected (not that Corporate TV Pravda would have said anything if they had revealed discrepancies other than "The Exit Polls must be flawed") has now been conveniently reborn under the guise of not six agencies (harder to rig) but, surprise, surprise, AP alone.

Uncle Karl must have compleet confidence in his operatives at AP, and if you read alot of AP stories, you can see that it's shot through, imho, with Bushevik editors...

2. Thanks NNN0LHI. Can't be emphasised enough that they're propaganda.
We've seen that repeatedly over the last few years.

For example, they said that Bush would have won
the recount in Florida, if the filthy five had permitted it.
People here know that's bullshit, right?

"NATIONAL DESK | November 12, 2001, Monday
EXAMINING THE VOTE: THE OVERVIEW; Study of Disputed Florida Ballots Finds Justices
Did Not Cast the Deciding Vote

By FORD FESSENDEN and JOHN M. BRODER (NYT) 2527 words
Late Edition - Final , Section A , Page 1 , Column 1
ABSTRACT - Comprehensive review of uncounted Florida ballots from 2000 presidential election, conducted by consortium of eight news organizations and professional statisticians, indicates George W Bush would have won election even if US Supreme Court allowed statewide manual recount of votes ordered by state Supreme Court; finds, contrary to allegations by partisans of Vice Pres Al Gore, that Supreme Court did not award election to Bush;..."

And they've grown consistently worse since WW2.

"Unfortunately, we get only disinformation from the New York Times and other official places."
-Gore Vidal, "Dreaming War," 2002
