http://www.51capitalmarch.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=New_Jersey

I'm calling out Less Moonvese from CBS, thats right Less--you and me in the street, I wanna kick your butt. I am Ready TO Rumble !!! ! !
In all seriousness-- ITs time for me & you (DU) to drop in on the 3 Major networks and pay them a little visit.
From now to Jan. 6th.

Targets:
1) News anchors going or leaving work. They need to know thw blood of 100,000 dead Iraqis is on their Hands. They need to know that Kerry won, and we can prove it.

2) Those "Early shows" they are live. Remember that "Kerry WOn" and "WE Can Prove it".

3) ABC--CBS--NBC Should be our priority Targets.
These Head quarters can be surrounded and be made to feel out pain--the Pain of the lies told by these networks. Tell the truth ABC--NBC--CBS.

It took 200,000 folks in the streets of Keiv, Ukraine.
Power to the People!
Is it going to take 200,000 people in the streets to get JUST ONE ON AIR NEWS JOCK to break down and speak the truth?

Is it time to go into the Streets of Philly and surround the Headquarters of the netwaorks there--Or how about Chicago--Does Chicago have 200,000 folks ready to hit the streets?

I'm callling out the 3 networks--Stop it--Stop the killing--tell the truth--the same exit polling COmpany in the Ukraine--did the exit polls here in the USA .

Did ya know that? The sAme company--And the exit poll discrepancy was larger in the USA than Ukraine.

Will it be a news anchor in San Fransisco? the one that breaks down.

Will it be Matt Lauwer (SP?) in NYC?

So folks if you cant make it to Ohio, And you CAN MAKE IT TO NYC, its time.

ITs time to shove these Bush Family crimes in the face of the poeple who READ THE NEWS.

Its time to shove the concept of Election Fraud under the noses of those who READ THE NEWS.

Its time to hold these news readers Personally responsible for the crap they spew on TV.

They are the ones we need to reach.
HeY Sue Simmons, you've got the blood of 100,000 Dead Iraqis on your hands--
Its time to clean your hands of the blood SUE --Tell the truth.

Kerry Won---We Can Prove IT !!!!!

Anybody up for meetting me in NYC on thursday or Friday? Those are my 2 days off.

Whos joining me in NYC?

6. In the Ukraine it started with the sign-langauge translator!
http://aolnetscape.workopolis.com/servlet/Content/qprinter/20041127/UKRAINEMEDIA27

Saturday, November 27, 2004


KIEV -- It was one of the bravest acts of rebellion in a week that has seen many.

Natalia Dmitruk, a sign-language presenter with Ukraine's state-owned television channel, UT-1, decided she had translated lies for too long. On Thursday, in the middle of another broadcast that did its best to laud the establishment candidate for president, Viktor Yanukovich, while ignoring the mass demonstrations that have gripped Kiev and other cities, she stopped following the script.

"The results announced by the Central Electoral Commission are rigged. Do not believe them," she signed, an orange ribbon showing her support for opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko tied around her wrist.

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have demonstrated all week in the centre of Kiev, believing the commission rigged the results of a presidential election to deny Mr. Yushchenko victory.

"Our president is Yushchenko," Ms. Dmitruk went on, her Ukrainian-language colleagues still oblivious to what was happening.

"I am very disappointed by the fact that I had to interpret lies. I will not do it any more. I do not know if you will see me again."


When the newscast was over, she walked out of the station and joined more than 200 other UT-1 journalists on a strike they said would not end until they were allowed to report the news accurately.

Within 24 hours, UT-1 had ended a decade of serving in effect as the bugle of President Leonid Kuchma's regime. While Ms. Dmitruk's act of defiance was understood by only a few who know sign language, it was quickly followed by others at her station.

One correspondent, in the middle of last night's evening news, said live on the air that she and the entire news team were going to join the protests on Independence Square as soon as they finished work. "We're not lying any more," she said.

A mood of defiance has suddenly gripped much of Ukraine's normally docile and pro-government media.

On Thursday night, the managers of the privately owned, but government-controlled, Inter and 1+1 networks struck a deal with their employees, who were threatening to resign in a body.

As a result, the huge protests in Independence Square and elsewhere in the country were broadcast nationally yesterday for the first time.

For the long-beleaguered journalists at Channel 5, which had been the only station giving the opposition significant air time, it was a late but very welcome signal that they had been on the right course all along.

The station, demonized by Mr. Kuchma and his powerful aide Viktor Medvedchuk, has been crucial in convincing Ukrainians that Sunday's election was fixed, running clips, often without commentary, of apparent polling-day violations.

More recently, it has played a key role in mobilizing opposition supporters into the streets, and its news broadcasts are shown live every hour to the crowds gathered on Independence Square.

"It's great that they're doing it, but it's a little late," said Anna Pastuch, producer of a hard-hitting investigative magazine called Forbidden Zone that frequently exposed official corruption.

She said that if the other stations had done proper journalism during the election campaign, rather than acting as propagandists for Mr. Kuchma and his hand-picked successor, Mr. Yanukovich, the country would not be in crisis now.

She believes the east, Mr. Yanukovich's support base, voted for him only because it was given misinformation on television. Channel 5's signal is blocked across the east of the country.

Canadian Ambassador Andrew Robinson complained during the campaign that UT-1 and other channels owned by businessmen close to Mr. Kuchma gave heavily biased coverage that either ignored or ridiculed the opposition.

Journalists at those stations say they were regularly issued instructions from the government about how to cover stories.

7. International Attention
Since the media in these United States of America have so obviously fallen down on the job of covering the issues of election fraud, privatized vote counting and privatized exit poll data, despite the investigation and recount efforts in Ohio headed by high profile public officials, I decided to see whether the media in other nations have picked up on the effort. Below are the google search terms in several languages.

I am not linguistically competent to analyze the results in all of these languages, nor culturally knowledgeable enough to say whether the articles represent mainstream media. Anyone who does have this competence with respect to these or any other languages would be doing a great service by:
1. viewing the search results
2. running the searches often
3. contacting the media organizations represented in the search with updates in the story
4. contacting any media organizations that you know of that did not show up in the search

Before the only story left is that there was no story, let us see whether it can be jump-started from the outside.
