Robert Novak comes to mind. Both he and Irving R. Levine were Jews but were exact opposites. There are more Novaks than Levines in the media today and that’s part of the reason for its decline as an information medium.

Debbie, not just Muslims and their foreign banker owners…BUT THE CIA AS WELL!

Ever hear of Operation Mockingbird?

http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKmockingbird.htm

McCarthy was a victim of it.

“J. Edgar Hoover became jealous of the CIA’s growing power. He described the OPC (Office of Policy Coordination) as “Wisner’s gang of weirdos” and began carrying out investigations into their past. It did not take him long to discover that some of them had been active in left-wing politics in the 1930s. This information was passed to who started making attacks on members of the OPC. Hoover also gave McCarthy details of an affair that Frank Wisner had with Princess Caradja in Romania during the war. Hoover, claimed that Caradja was a Soviet agent.

Joseph McCarthy also began accusing other senior members of the CIA as being security risks. McCarthy claimed that the CIA was a “sinkhole of communists” and claimed he intended to root out a hundred of them. One of his first targets was Cord Meyer, who was still working for Operation Mockingbird. In August, 1953, Richard Helms, Wisner’s deputy at the OPC, told Meyer that Joseph McCarthy had accused him of being a communist. The Federal Bureau of Investigation added to the smear by announcing it was unwilling to give Meyer “security clearance”. However, the FBI refused to explain what evidence they had against Meyer. Allen W. Dulles and both came to his defense and refused to permit a FBI interrogation of Meyer.

Joseph McCarthy did not realize what he was taking on. Wisner unleashed Mockingbird on McCarthy. Drew Pearson, Joe Alsop, Jack Anderson, Walter Lippmann and Ed Murrow all went into attack mode and McCarthy was permanently damaged by the press coverage orchestrated by Wisner.

Mockingbird was very active during the overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala. People like Henry Luce was able to censor stories that appeared too sympathetic towards the plight of Arbenz. Allen W. Dulles was even able to keep left-wing journalists from traveling to Guatemala. This including Sydney Gruson of the New York Times.”

Your article is more a reason for me to try and get back into radio broadcasting…TO TAKE THE HORSE CRAP FROM OUT OF THE BARN AND TO TELL THE GLOBALISTS IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER THE HELL WITH Y’ALL!

THE FEDERAL RESERVE THIS YEAR GOES DOWN TO DEFEAT THANKS TO RON PAUL AND HR-1207!

I mean have you looked at Geithner and the way he is telling AIG to shut up about deals??

WE ARE THE NEW JOURNALISM AND THESE GLOBAL FASCISTS CAN’T SHUT US UP!

…come to think of it…how many would even the enemy who is our own government (not just the CIA) as Levine did?

Just remember reading years ago that when Mrs. Levine saw Johnny Carson with glasses & bow tie immitating her husband, she was in tears laughing. She said Irving was flattered. No matter what; sometimes we need to pull-out the stick and have a sense of humor about things.

I would say that ideological conformity, out of belief or fear, is what motivates many analysts and journalists today. It begins on campuses in which only the “correct” graduate students receive useful letters of recommendation from their instructors, as well as contacts. The employer then screens out those who might not be quite the “right thinkers” from the hiring process. Over time, you get newsrooms, academic departments, government agencies, as well as other institutions, with stunning levels of ideological uniformity. Also, these people, especially at the highest level, such people only socialize and mingle with the like minded. It can
be a deeply disturbing experience to meet people who hold substantially different views than their own.

I miss Irving R. (I can’t leave out the “R”; it was always there) Levine. I didn’t know about his noble past; I simply knew that here was a man of genuine dignity, character, and professionalism.

Well, what were the Soviets attempting to blackmail him about? That he resisted so heroically.

I had the pleasure to work as Mr. Levine’s researcher for five years–his integrity, character, caring, and intelligence are something that few can hope to measure up to.

The worms are contracted by mosquito bites, then the eggs afterwards hatch and are living in the
blood vessels about the lungs and heart. A pre-existing issue is an health issues or injury that took place right before the policy began or inside the 20 1 working day ready period of time.
