    Editor’s note: “You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month,” a CIA operative admitted, talking about Operation Mockingbird. In the early 1950s, then publisher of the Washington Post, Philip Graham, a graduate of the Army Intelligence School, was groomed by the CIA to head the take-over of the media.

    For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post has offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to “those powerful few”: Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and — at first — even the paper’s own reporters and editors.

    The astonishing offer was detailed in a flier circulated Wednesday to a health care lobbyist, who provided it to a reporter because the lobbyist said he felt it was a conflict for the paper to charge for access to, as the flier says, its “health care reporting and editorial staff.”

    With the newsroom in an uproar after POLITICO reported the solicitation, Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli said this morning that he was “appalled” by the plan and said the newsroom will not participate.

    “It suggests that access to Washington Post journalists was available for purchase,” Brauchli told The Post’s media reporter, Howard Kurtz. The proposal “promises we would suspend our usual skeptical questioning because it appears to offer, in exchange for sponsorships, the good name of The Washington Post.”

      The “Politico” is garbage. This is just a meaningless attack piece.

      The executive editor of The Post obviously didn’t think so…

      Do you have any credible evidence on Pa Pa Bear – Oreilly on Fox, Beck on Fox or Dobbs on CNN.

      Is there anywhere to obtain things like fact, not conjecture?

      Personnel, trust me it is.

      No one has any idea how much I do not appreciate being lied to and manipulated.

      I don’t think they really do.

      The CEO’s of the Washington Post attend the annual Bilderberg Meetings. The Washington Post is taking orders from the Rockefeller, Rothchild, and other Wall Street Demons. For years, the majority of their Articles have been pure Propaganda Schemes pushed by their Crony Buddies for whom they attend the Bilderberg Meetings with.

      No Surprises here. This is just another method showing how the Nazi World Order Globalists abuse the system by paying reporters off to Spin, Lie, and to Deceive the USA Citizens: instead of Reporting the Truth. But let us not forget, that we still have our New Great President (Read the NWO Teleprompter) as another method of Spin, Lies, and Deception. Although “President NWO Teleprompter” can spew out his NWO Propaganda, he still can’t seem to find his Birth Certificate. Quite Puzzling.

      shame on all you CIA, NSA, FBI agents that are compiling info on all of us. You are a greater threat to liberty and freedom than a million of your CIA trained “Bin Ladens”. If you truly love your country, if you truly want to protect your country, then look into the mirror and ask yourself, “who is my master”? Who is calling the shots? Who is ordering you to trample the fundamental rights of the very citizens you swore to protect? How far are you willing to go in the name of “safety”? Is it okay to detain citizens with no representation? Is it okay to disarm a populace so they are unable to defend themselves? Why did you get involved in law enforcement in the first place? Was it to defend the LIBERTY of your fellow citizen? Was it because you like to wear a badge? Carry a gun? Is it because you want to be on the “winning side”?. What kind of country are you building for YOUR children, for MY children. Will it be a nation built on fear? A nation where if you say the wrong thing, or peacefully protest against government action you are labled a “terrorist”? Is this the world you want your children to live in? Do you want them to live in a world where we are controlled by fear and by corporate interests? Where we are simply sheep, our only purpose to fill the coffers of international bankers, weapons contractors, and out-dated energy cartels? Shame on all of you who took an oath to defend this country from foreign and DOMESTIC threats that are facilitating the very demise of our once-great Nation. Does the fact that our current Federal government is operating completely outside the law not bother you? Have you ever really read the constitution? How brainwashed are you? Are you so caught up in your law-enforcement sub-culture to realize that you are now treating the very people that you swore to protect as your enemy? Reach inside yourself and shake your soul. You have the power to stand up and make a change. You have the power to say ” I cannot follow this order, I will not follow this directive as it is simply unconstitutional. Or, will you sell your soul for your pension? Will you continue to violate our God-Given RIGHTS of privacy, Liberty, Freedom, and Happiness? Do you not understand that when you operate outside the constitution you are operating as a lawless thug? Do you not understand that when you compromise the constitution in the name of ” safety” that you are buying into a lie? I pray that you will listen to these words. They are the words of a fellow citizen. They are the words of a man that has worked since he was 16 to build a life for himself and his family. They are the words of a man who believes in the power of the constitution and power that it grants its populace. If you really want to protect your country, the real terrorists are not in a sandbox 5,000 miles away. The real terrorists are sitting in Congress. They are sitting in the white house, they own the Federal Reserve, and they are even sitting in your office. They are the people who are taking the constitution and setting it on fire. They are the ones who follow their own agenda’s under the guise of freedom. It is all very simple. Follow the constitution. It is no more complicated than that. If you are asked to perform a task, and that task is not constitutional than you must refuse that order. If you do not, then you have sold your soul and you are in fact commiting treason.

      Comment on the WAPO site following story “Post Publisher cancels off the record Salons”

      “In the name of efficiency, the Obama Administration has merged journalism and prostitution into one field, Presstitution. Reporters and hookers will now both be referred to as Presstitutes.”

      I am not amused Reply:

      Chris:

      Obama is responsible for his actions, the press is responsible for theirs. No one can make them do a damned thing. Whatever they do – they chose – they do not get off by blaming it on Obama, sorry won’t work.

      I guess most people have a price – ever wonder why they make so much?

      I think they really think they are worth that much, trust me they are not.

      Anybody ever hear of these allegations? They were posted in the comment section after the WAPO street walkers story:

      Warren Buffet is the head of the Washington Post. He owns it. Mr. Buffet has been recently fingered as the man who had the $5 billion in “put-options” on American Airlines and UA just days BEFORE 9/11. It was Mr. Buffet who met with the CEO’s on the afternoon of 9/11 whose offices just happened to be the ones hit by “planes” just hours earlier for a charity at a military base. (None of the CEO’s had ever been to this “charity” before…..and even though some lost almost their entire staff…they were still compelled to go see Buffet and Bush in Nebraska on the afternoon of 9/11!!!) Buffet has made Billions from increased spending because of 9/11 on insurance and security.

      So….does the Washington Post pay for play? Its the least of our concerns……..

      I am not amused Reply:

      Lee:

      Your right tragically if you want to find the real reasons for almost anything – especially by our government – to get the honest answer why – follow the money trail and most often you will find the truth. Who financially benefits.

      To summarize: Follow the money honey – tragic

      thx Lee Reply:

      Warren buffet is directly connected to the crimes of 911. Buffet also invested $10 Billion into Goldman Sachs in Sept 2008. Bershire made hundreds of billions from increased insurance premiums because of 911. If warren took out those 5billion in options wouldn;t there be an easy paper trail t follow? We are talking about 5billion not 5bucks? I also remember reading that the government will not release the name of the person who put out the options on United Airlines just before 911. Do you think that that was a form of blackmail against bufett? Bufett is now the richest many in the world and I wonder why?

      I work here at the Post. They have announced this is all a big mistake and they won’t do it now. I wonder if they would have gone through with it if this didn’t leak out?

      I am not amused Reply:

      Tomas;

      Think about it – have you ever had your hand caught in the cookie jar.

      I wonder how often it happens, they don’t get caught.

      God knows – they can never fool him.

      i really enjoy the people that the show presents. there is very informative information on this program. what disappoints me is that so many people truly believe that alex is a man of principles and sacrificing for the greater good and sacrificing himself financially.
      1. before alex was william cooper. and unlike alex HE PREDICTED 911. alex rode his coattails. how dare alex say he had the acumen to decipher the media and call that prediction.
      2. several years back alex was invited to this christians home in texas who was having problems with the police wanting to raid his ranch. he interviewed this man because this man TRUSTED alex. alex allegedly then turned around and sold him down the river to ABC news( the interview) for like a pathetic few hundred dollars. ALEX is motivated by your money people, dont doubt his intentions!
      3. alex would truly gain many peoples trust if he was willing to publish the way the money from the moneybomb was spent. if his intentions are altruistic, dont you think it would just be natural for him to want to LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW THEIR MONEY WAS SPENT??
      4. i heard alex’s rant today about chastising infowarstv.com for potentially taking money away from ALEX”S businesses. check out infowarstv.com. he presents it alot better than i.
      people please dont think that i know or am affiliated with the above website in any way. I AM NOT. i live in maine and have been listening to alex for about a year. i just want to say that the intentions of alex imo is $$$ first and alex loves to hype things up very often. i have caught alex over exaggerating so so often and while he is on point about alot of things, i believe he is greedy and i am very suspect of his true intentions.

      peace to all

      What is the militia? The term “militia” consists of two parts: the organized militia and the unorganized militia. According to the organic Maine Constitution and backed by the United States Code, the organized militia is the standing military force in the state (the “State Guard”) while the unorganized militia (which is commonly called the militia) consists of all other males between the ages of 17 and 45 (or 65 if they have prior military service). The militia was established for the purpose of defending the state (a sovereign nation) and the United States of America (a union of nations) from all enemies “foreign and domestic” based upon principles of community self defense established hundreds of years before the nation was formed. However, while the organized militia was tasked with the defenses of the states, our forefathers, having just fought their own government, did not place their entire trust in the government or a standing army to protect them but reserved the right and the means to protect themselves – thus the unorganized militia. The militia was and is a defensive body set up so that its members can take care of normal peace by internal lawless elements, or government usurpation of the rights and power of the people guaranteed by the Constitution, there is a group of people that owe their allegiance to no one except God and their fellow Americans who desire to remain free.

      The mission and purpose of the militia have not changed. What has changed is the status of the organized militia. The “State Guard” with the duty and obligation of protecting the state is now under federal jurisdiction (the “National Guard”) thereby obligating it only to the federal government making the unorganized militia the only constitutional force available for the defense of the state.

      “It takes a lot of ignorance to believe that this presidency isn’t as clandestine — for sinister reasons — as any other, if not more than any other, to only make you believe our president’s a funny guy with a nice smile and a beautiful family. Don’t look at the expansion of the American Empire, covering up the Bush Administration’s war crimes, plans to lawlessly kidnap any human being for any amount of time, and the pile of corpses building up in the corner of the room.

      “Why base democracy for rational beings on reality when you can be a dumbed-down gorilla sucking down an illusion with the precious privilege so graciously granted by the ruler to pull one lever or another every four years? Because the Democratic State isn’t just ‘a looting and killing machine’, as Lew Rockwell, Jr. points out. The Democratic State is a looting and killing machine that works double time to conceal its sin.

      “With our current monetary policy written by bankers, foreign policy written by the military industrial complex, and the coming healthcare policy to be written by pharmaceutical companies, it’s the secrecy within the fourth branch of government — the media — that makes us broke, dead, and dying as long people hold to the belief that the lever they pull every four years has any say in the matter. The only surprise left is the remaining existence of that childish belief.”
