So, why does the below news get reported in India (a "natural" enemy of Pakistan and quite willing to expose wrong-doing over anything Pakistani), and that same news NOT get reported in the US?? This is, after all, news about the CIA, during the Clinton control, prevented other governments from doing anything to stop Dr. Khan, who was spreading nuclear secrets among terrorist states!
I looked for US news coverage by the simple act of searching in Google -- and found nothing! I would think that some US news media would have picked up this story? But bashing Clinton has never been popular in the media, and apparently is not in the Bush White House either.
The ultimate aim of news organizations is to creat chaos in society -- to eliminate sources of morality so that the "morality" chosen by the elite in the media can be more easily imposed on society. One of the best methods of doing this is to set group against group. There is no lack of immorality and corruption in society -- and it is well worth exposing. But some methods of exposure lead to correction by civil means and some lead only to violence. Here is a WSJ report that will lead to violence.
If you have watched more than one TV channel, or read more than one magazine or newspaper about the Katrina event you should have noticed that the "news" was dramatically different -- depending on what source you got it from. It would be overly simplistic to say that the news was "slanted" according to this or that political bias. That was certainly evident. But what you may have missed is that there were "contrary data" in the different reports. In other words, one news source contained data that conflicted with data from a different news source. Read the Wall Street Journal article plus "others" with different data. Decide! Katrina was, in most basic understanding, a failure of morality by many who chose to ignore the truth of the well-founded predictions of what a Category Three or Four storm meant to New Orleans. Should we reward that immorality with $200 billion in welfare?
Public officials did not expect that the first thing they would have to do is to send thousands of armed troops in armored vehicle, as if they are suppressing an enemy insurgency. And journalists—myself included—did not expect that the story would not be about rain, wind, and flooding, but about rape, murder, and looting.
But this is not a natural disaster.
It is a man-made disaster. The man-made disaster is not an inadequate or incompetent response by federal relief agencies, and it was not directly caused by Hurricane Katrina.
But the appearance of unity among a lawyer and his media clients was illusory. More than a month before the dinner, Time Inc. had dismissed Mr. Abrams as its lead counsel in the leak probe, believing it needed a new strategy to face the U.S. Supreme Court.
Mr. Cooper had long before selected his own criminal attorney, concerned that Mr. Abrams couldn't adequately represent both Ms. Miller and him. In Mr. Cooper's view, there were too many differences in their circumstances. Ms. Miller had publicly criticized seeking waivers from government officials that would allow reporters to testify about confidential conversations. Mr. Cooper had obtained just such a waiver.
While Mr. Cruise believes problems in living are not caused by "mental illnesses" cured by psychiatric drugs, Miss Shields believes the opposite. Unfortunately for Mr. Cruise, Miss Shields' views have in effect become America's state religion, which is widely supported by the mainstream media.
I, Karl Loren, look forward to the time when I can devote myself largely to creating public lectures and talks -- now that "PodCasting" has come of age. I didn't know much about it, but found this quite lucid and simple explanation in the WSJ.
So, here is the future of Karl Loren -- it may be a few years, but one of these days you'll be able to subscribe to my weekly talks on a whole range of issues, certainly covering the 25 years of research I've done in the field of health -- but more broadly also as I've develop my life more fully in my Golden Years.
The New York Times, as reported in India, is claiming (article here) that the US should not rely for help on the "Terror-Tainted" Pakistan. Since most Indians detest Pakistan, this is very welcome news, indeed, in India. It should not be. India still doesn't have the power (willingness ?) to control their own enemies, and thus get help even from an enemy. The US has that power, and is using it, much to the disdain of those who lack such power, or more accurately, lack the will to use what they have.
The threat of Pakistani nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists s "no more purely theoretical" and this issue had been repeatedly discussed by the Russian-American sub-group dealing with proliferation of mass destruction weapons, Russian First Deputy Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Trubnikov has said.
When the Supreme Court handed down its ruling last week striking down sodomy laws, editors at Newsweek knew it would be the next cover story. They agreed to look ahead with the question: "Is Gay Marriage Next?"
To accurately portray an issue that affects both genders, the editors decided to publish two versions of the cover. Half of the July 7 issues feature a picture of a male gay couple (Dominic Pisciotta and Andrew Berg) and the other half a lesbian couple (Lauren Leslie and Elisabeth Noel Jones).
The NY Times Tries To Make Amends
Yesterday, they returned to the same spot in the newsroom and announced their resignations from the top editorial positions at The Times, capping a tumultuous month of scandal, institutional soul-searching and recrimination. Their decisions to step down appeared to bring to an abrupt and painful end two careers at The Times that have left a deep mark on the newspaper.
Witnesses and Documents Unveil Deceptions in a Reporter's Work, NY Times, May 12, 2003
Following is an accounting of the articles in which falsification, plagiarism and similar problems were discovered in a review of articles written by Jayson Blair, a reporter for The
New York Times who resigned May 1. The review, conducted by a team of Times reporters and researchers, concentrated on the 73 articles Mr. Blair wrote since late October, when he was given roving national assignments and began covering major news events including the Washington-area sniper attacks and the rescue of Pfc. Jessica D. Lynch. Spot checks of his previous stories also found errors of fact and possible fabrications.
Every time I go to the supermarket, I see another magazine cover saying there's something wrong with teens. After teens shot their classmates at Columbine High, Newsweek's cover showed the face of a troubled teen who looked angry and dangerous. His eyes were cold and mean. The headline stated in bold, white letters, "The Secret Life of Teens."
Shortly after the Lewinsky story broke, Clinton's personal secretary Betty Currie was named as a potentially important link in Kenneth Starr's case--a key White House contact for Lewinsky. A round of personality profiles appeared that tried to put a face on the woman--they ranged from that of a motherly friend to Lewinsky, to adept keeper of presidential secrets.

An outrageous new falsehood is circulating about President Bush. Last week, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd misrepresented a Bush statement to imply that he said the Al Qaeda terrorist network is "not a problem anymore," and the distorted quotation has since been repeated by MSNBC "Buchanan and Press" co-host Bill Press, CNN's Miles O'Brien and others, including numerous foreign press outlets. At a time when the New York Times is under fire for its conduct in the Jayson Blair scandal, Dowd's creation of an exploding media myth is cause for serious concern.
