The Muckraker

 

Muckraking; Origin of the term, Theodore Roosevelt, “... you may recall the description of the Man with the Muck-rake, the man who could look no way but downward with the muck-rake in his hands; Who was offered a celestial crown for his muck-rake, but who would neither look up nor regard the crown he was offered, but continued to rake to himself the filth of the floor.”

Is it the heat? Or something in the water? John McCain and the voters of Arizona

The old saying that all politics are local certainly seems true in the case of John McCain, a notorious RINO incumbent who has again obfuscated his true colors and seduced the voters of Arizona with his recent primary victory over J.D. Hayworth.

 

John McCain, backed by a 21 million dollar war chest (possibly with RNC funds? to keep conservative elements at bay?) viciously attacked J.D. Hayworth as a “late-night infomercial huckster” in a series of devastating ...

The True Face of Progressivism

This is the first of articles identifying the nature of the progressive movement, it's methodology, goals, and tactics.
I will not detail the rise of the progressive movement, but rather the nature of the forces arrayed against conservatives and America at large in contemporary politics.

Part 1:

Progressivism is the idealized pursuit of a ideological, socialized utopia where the process is more important than outcome or results. It is the PROCESS that becomes the standard by which perceived  inequalities, economic disparities, racial and gender chasms are measured and ... << MORE >>

The Muckraker Day 2 Media Ownership

Muckraking; Origin of the term, Theodore Roosevelt, “...you may recall the description of the Man with the Muck-rake, the man who could look no way but downward with the muck-rake in his hands; Who was offered a celestial crown for his muck-rake, but who would neither look up nor regard the crown he was offered, but continued to rake to himself the filth of the floor.”

In Memory of Ida Tarbell; (November 5, 1857 – January 6, 1944) was an American teacher,author and journalist.She was known as one of the leading "muckrakers"of the progressive era, work known in modern times as"investigative journalism". She wrote many notable magazine series and biographies.

This new section of Anger/Action is Brewing is dedicated to a path of simple solutions to complex problems that are available to We the People. These actions are taken from the history of the “Progressive Era” of the early 1900's..

DAY 2

Problem; The media’s major Television news programs have a very heavy impact upon the distribution of information to the voting public. The shinning star apparent is NBC. This news agency seems to be just an extension of the Obama Camp textbook. Many agree the programming of this “News Agency” is actually propaganda. Regardless of the proof of this feeling can this Republic afford slanted journalism? Should we be a little more careful with news media ownership?

If we take a look at who owns NBC and a possible motive for this slant: GE owns NBC, NBC reports the news with total editorial control. GE has many environmental issues subject to the actions of the Federal EPA.

General Discussion; The environmental,thus financial concerns of GE potentially makes their news company apolitically advantageous aid for members of the Washington Club. If they“correctly” report the news they have friends in all the right areas.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Environmental record

GE has a history of large-scale air and water pollution. Based on year 2000 data,[24]researchers at the Political Economy Research Institute listed the corporation as the fourth-largest corporate producer of air pollution in the United States,with more than 4.4 million pounds per year (2,000 Tonnes) of toxic chemicals  released into the air.[25]GE has also been implicated in the creation of toxic waste.According to EPA documents, only the United States Government, Honeywell,and Chevron Corporation are responsible for producing more Superfund toxic waste sites.[26]

In 1983, New York State Attorney General Robert Abrams filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York to compel GE to pay for the cleanup of what was claimed to be more than 100,000 tons of chemicals dumped (legally, at the time) from their plant in Waterford.[27]In 1999, the company agreed to pay a $250 million settlement in connection with claims it polluted the Housatonic River and other sites with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other hazardous substances.[28]

From approximately 1947 to 1977, GE discharged as much as 1.3 million pounds of PCBs from its capacitor manufacturing plants at the Hudson Falls and Fort Edward facilities into the Hudson River.[29]Spending millions over many years, GE fought a media and political battle to avoid cleaning up the river: GE attacked the Superfund law in court, and launched an extensive media campaign to refute the benefits of cleaning up the river, claiming that dredging the river would actually stir up PCBs.[30]In 2002, GE was ordered to clean up a 40-mile (64 km) stretch of the Hudson River it had contaminated.[31]

In 2003, acting on concerns that the plan proposed by GE did not "provide for adequate protection of public health and the environment," the United States Environmental Protection Agency issued a unilateral administrative order for the company to "address cleanup at the GE site" in Rome, Georgia, also contaminated with PCBs.

 

Solution; Make an FCC ruling that companies with a highly profiled need to receive Government contracts, rulings and such not be able to own and control by any financial sense a major media concern. That in fact should a member of the White House’s insider be quoted in support of the mass murder Moa tse tung as a philosopher;

 and the News Agency doesn’t ask the President to explain this comment and his position on the quote, then maybe they can’t own NBC News.

These charges would be reported to a Homeland Security Special Enforcement Division with newly elected officials. Elected by, We the People not appointed by the“Washington Club”.

Solution 2; If you are a GE  shareholder, contact an attorney and ask if there isn’t a minority shareholder lawsuit for the loss in NBC market share losses due to the lack of balanced reporting. By not doing so, NBC’s value is tremendously diminished thus lowering your share value and dividends. It has been reported that their market share is truly hampered by these actions.

DAY 1

Problem; With the current ethical fiber of our leaders we have a problem with these elected officials obeying the laws of our land and should they get caught breaking them suffer the same penalties we would face.

General Discussion; Washington DC is a club of people under the ether of pure power. Once elected to office the new candidate elected rises to a position that in many cases, is very hard to maintain an ethical posture. If we were to ask the Newbie if this were correct I would assume they would have to put on their political hat and answer something like “No I maintain my dedication to the people” not admitting this is the first of many lies to come. As this is a learned response and so are all the rest of the Tricks of the Trade, known as the actions of a soon to be professional politician.

If the laws of the land were to translate to these people, many ills would be corrected. The best example we believe would be illegal aliens, those people that break the law on a daily basis. If Washington enforced the law rather than ignored it for the minority votes we would have fewer criminals on our streets. The politician that aids these criminals by not acting on current laws would simply be charged. Evidence by his/her aids or staffers would receive this reward.

If the laws of the land were to translate to these people and enforced there would be more bad politicians jailed and expelled in a rapid manor. Another example would be Franklin Raines the past director for Fannie Mae, who admitted to“Cooking the books” for his bonus schedule. Fannie Maeengaged in "extensive financial fraud" over six years by doctoring earnings so executives could collect hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses, federal officials said in a report that portrayed a company determined to play by its own rules. These actions cost our economy Trillions of dollars.Raines was fined and put on the Obama election team as a financial advisor.

Solution; A Whistleblower Law which simply states that any person that brings to light illegal actions (not traffic, or minor laws) while in office by a Government Employee in an elected position or Department Leadership role shall be paid $10 Million tax free. As a conviction occurs the penalty doubles, pensions are lost and in the case of jail no good time is allowed.

These crimes would be reported to a Homeland Security Special Enforcement Division with newly elected officials. Elected by we the people not appointed by the“Club”.

The first response by our leaders will be that this would stop “Good People” from running for office. I put to you that this answer is the problem. If we spent 5 years under this law the “Good People” would surely thin out.

Anger has become Action

Get Angry, Take Action! 

Our goal has always been to unite displaced fiscal conservatives through a focus on fiscal responsibility, accountability, and transparency. Unfortunately the general disgust over the state of the GOP in Washoe and Clark Counties, the state of Nevada, and fiscal frivolities in the form of unfunded mandates from Carson City and Washington, DC, created the (dare I say it) Anger from taxpaying individuals, families, and small businesses.

Anger is only one of two human emotions that lead directly into Action, and we are certainly not afraid to stand up for ourselves and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Anger is what got us off our couches, what caused us to turn our back on talkers and unite with workers, what caused us to educate ourselves and arm ourselves with information on legislation and candidates so that we can make responsible decisions at the polls in June and again in November. Anger was useful, now it's time for Action.

Anger is Brewing is a non-profit 501(c)(4), but we have transitioned all of our electronic media to reflect Action instead of Anger, soon we will do new corporate filings to officially change our group from Anger is Brewing to Action is Brewing.

Please visit us on the web at www.actionisbrewing.com, email us at info@actionisbrewing.com with question/comment/suggestions, blog with us at blog.actionisbrewing.com, or follow us on facebook at Action is Brewing.

We are united, we are strong, and we are geared up for Action
We are all in this together!
