Media blackout of black Chicago protesters marching against Obama

Black Chicagoans from the south and west sides took their message to what they say is the source of the problem when they converged outside of a fundraiser held by Mayor Emanuel for Barack Obama and then marched to the studios of ABC News.

Their message, “let us work in our own community,” was made all the more poignant as the ABC News crew ignored the news event outside their very studios. Not one camera was sent to cover the news that was, literally, placed at their doorstep.

The protest, which took place Thursday evening, addressed these community members’ growing desperation as their wartorn neighborhoods are redeveloped by political cronies, evicting residents and shutting out local investors, and use union labor from outside the community to do the work. It’s a corrupt cycle of government “work” that takes advantage of the poor, evicting them, and then redeveloping the properties to benefit anyone but the community.

In the video below, community members who say they are desperate for jobs and investment, focus their protest against liberal leadership, including Obama and Emanuel, so-called community organizations like ACORN, and unions:

In an earlier video published by Jeremy Segal “Rebel Pundit,” a community member elaborated on the issue the inner-city black community has with unions: they won’t hire black people. Therefore any work going to their communities for building sites, etc., shuts them out of jobs.Segal writes:

According to Mark Carter of the Broke Party, a newly formed group of black grassroots activists fed up with the destruction and blight brought on their community by the liberal agenda, the protest was “about bringing attention to the demolition of homes in Chicago’s black communities on the west and south sides.” These buildings, Carter says, “can still be saved, but the city is tearing them down,” leaving property values and the community in the gutter.
Carter told Breitbart News they chose the Obama fundraiser as the starting point for the protest in order to send a direct message to Rahm Emanuel and Washington, D.C. that they will not be voting on Tuesday for those politicians who are allowing their homes and community to be demolished.
In an effort to bring even further attention to the ongoing issues of the black community in Chicago, the protest ended up outside of ABC 7 News’s local broadcast studio on State Street. This studio can be viewed from the street and sidewalk. When the protesters arrived, they used a bullhorn to announce themselves and called on weather reporter Jerry Taft, seen through the window, not to pretend they weren’t there, prompting a wave from Taft to the protesters.

As the new jobs numbers show black unemployment has risen to 14.3 percent, this community is desperate for work. They are desperate to find a new way outside of liberal leadership. And  they are desperate for the media to stop the blackout on the real stories happening in the inner-city communities.

What can the inner-city black community do to get ABC News and other outlets to cover their plight, if bringing news to their very doorstep is not enough for the media to pay attention?

An Open Letter to the Liberal Media

October 30th, 2012

Dear Mainstream Media,

In this time of the most important Presidential election in the history of the United States, you are letting down the American people, who have for so long trusted you to be our defense against tyranny in our government. You continue to run cover for a man who is very likely the worst President in our 237 year history.

The latest foul-up you are ignoring is of course the incident at the Benghazi “consulate” and the cover-up by the Obama administration. This is one of the two most egregious illegal acts by the Obama administration, the other being “Fast And Furious.” Given the nature of these two Obama administration failures, I would think, as I am sure most of the American people would think, that you would attack with great resolve. After all, many people have lost their lives due to these two Obama endeavors. Yet you are silent.

You went so far as to help hide Mr. Obama’s past during the 2008 election, when you simply looked the other way, though some of you engaged in an organization called “Journolist” in which many of you actively hid the truth.  You buried facts about Mr. Obama’s relationships with nefarious characters like terrorist Bill Ayers, and America hating Reverend Jeremiah Wright, but most of you were just silent on issues.

But, today, you continue to go about your business as if Border Patrol Agent Bryan Terry was never murdered with a weapon that the administration smuggled directly to the drug cartel hit man who killed him. Further to that, you are actively helping the administration cover up the facts surrounding the attack on the Benghazi Consular/CIA Compound, the facts surrounding the gun smuggling that was actively taking place, and the deaths of four (4) Americans; Ambassador Christopher Stevens, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, and Embassy Information Officer Sean Smith. In fact, I would venture to guess, that if I were to ask Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Ed Schultz, Lawrence O’Donnell, Brian Williams, or Fareed Zakaria to name all four of the murdered men from the Benghazi incident, they couldn’t do so.

You have a responsibility to protect the United States from tyranny. Elijah Lovejoy and many other news men died doing just that. Yet, you glibly ignore your duty in the name of your political ideology. What is wrong with you? What has happened to the Journalism schools in our country that have turned you all into political operatives for your party of choice? What makes you think you have the right to propagandize daily when you go to print, or on the air? And since when have you become gods who dictate how our lives will go? How dare you?

There are, all over the world, real journalists who are regularly tortured and murdered for telling the truth. You disgrace them each time you claim to be journalists. During tumultuous times in history, as tyrants arose, from Russia to Vietnam, to Nazi Germany, there have been real journalists who, in their zeal to inform the public were rounded up and summarily executed. They died doing that which was right, and undertaking actions that followed in the spirit of a free press. They were journalists. Elijah Lovejoy was a real journalist. You are but bought and sold propagandists. You must have a hard time sleeping at night. It must be difficult to look in the mirror.

The Government Must Control the Internet

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

--Benjamin Franklin

With the Mainstream Media in the pocket of the powerful, faithfully broadcasting all their lies and perversions, the only alternative We the People have to such propaganda is the Internet.  That is why the government must control it.  That is why any discussion of the government "securing" the Internet should scare you.  Should they be given the keys to the Internet, any sort of cyber "emergency," whether real or contrived, would give them the rationale to control/restrict its use.

The government should be responsible for protecting their own networks.  Private citizens should protect their computers.  Private businesses should protect theirs.  The government cannot protect their own computer systems now, so what makes us think that they will be any more effective if we allow them to protect the rest of America's computer systems?  Giving the government the responsibility for the security of all these domains is a mistake that we will regret.

To stifle dissent and only allow the People to receive the government's viewpoint, the government must control the Internet.  We must therefore do everything possible to prevent them from obtaining such control to protect our Freedom of Speech.

NSA Director Pushes Cybersecurity Bill

Cyberattacks have breached the Pentagon and sent businesses into bankruptcy. Still, it might take a cyberdisaster that causes damage on the scale of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to get lawmakers to pass legislation aimed at shoring up the U.S.’s infrastructure.

The White House has proposed an executive order to address part of the problem, but Gen. Keith Alexander, the director of the National Security Agency and commander of U.S. Cyber Command, says that is not enough.

The Pentagon has a pilot program that will help private companies work with the government to help them protect their own information.

But that program “doesn’t give us the ability to work with the Internet service providers and allow that to benefit the rest of the critical infrastructure and the rest of government,” Alexander said during an Oct. 1 panel discussion at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington. “That’s really what we need this legislation for.”

An executive order also would fail to address liability protections to shield companies from lawsuits over information-sharing that are needed to encourage participation, says Susan Collins (Maine), the ranking Republican on the Senate Homeland Security Committee and a co-sponsor of cybersecurity legislation.

“I think the executive order is a mistake,” Collins says. “I fear that it actually could lull people into a false sense of security that we’ve taken care of cybersecurity.”
