Corruption and Bias Exposed At NPR

[Mike]

This is really a must read piece!

Uri Berliner, senior business editor at NPR, blows the whistle here on their unethical and deeply biased reporting. This stuff may not come as any great surprise to the members here, but the fact that one of their own - a blue bleeding liberal - is coming forward with this information at this time is worth noting.

Everything we know and suspect the legacy media were doing during the last election and since is more or less confirmed by Berliner, who pulls no punches here. He breaks down the woke takeover and details all the unfortunate consequences, mainly the complete and utter lack of trust in NPR and it's reporting. And also of course all things Covid, vaccines, Hunter Biden, Fauci, Ukraine, etc.

He was suspended by NPR higher ups yesterday I believe, and he resigned today (I think).

This piece could just as easily be about ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, so forth. Which makes it a perfect case study, imo.

I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust.

Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think.

By Uri Berliner

April 9, 2024

You know the stereotype of the NPR listener: an EV-driving, Wordle-playing, tote bag–carrying coastal elite. It doesn’t precisely describe me, but it’s not far off. I’m Sarah Lawrence–educated, was raised by a lesbian peace activist mother, I drive a Subaru, and Spotify says my listening habits are most similar to people in Berkeley.

I fit the NPR mold. I’ll cop to that.

So when I got a job here 25 years ago, I never looked back. As a senior editor on the business desk where news is always breaking, we’ve covered upheavals in the workplace, supermarket prices, social media, and AI.

It’s true NPR has always had a liberal bent, but during most of my tenure here, an open-minded, curious culture prevailed. We were nerdy, but not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding.

In recent years, however, that has changed. Today, those who listen to NPR or read its coverage online find something different: the distilled worldview of a very small segment of the U.S. population.

If you are conservative, you will read this and say, duh, it’s always been this way.

But it hasn’t.

For decades, since its founding in 1970, a wide swath of America tuned in to NPR for reliable journalism and gorgeous audio pieces with birds singing in the Amazon. Millions came to us for conversations that exposed us to voices around the country and the world radically different from our own—engaging precisely because they were unguarded and unpredictable. No image generated more pride within NPR than the farmer listening to Morning Edition from his or her tractor at sunrise.

Back in 2011, although NPR’s audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves as conservative, 23 percent as middle of the road, and 37 percent as liberal.

By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. We weren’t just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals.

An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America.

That wouldn’t be a problem for an openly polemical news outlet serving a niche audience. But for NPR, which purports to consider all things, it’s devastating both for its journalism and its business model.

Like many unfortunate things, the rise of advocacy took off with Donald Trump. As in many newsrooms, his election in 2016 was greeted at NPR with a mixture of disbelief, anger, and despair. (Just to note, I eagerly voted against Trump twice but felt we were obliged to cover him fairly.) But what began as tough, straightforward coverage of a belligerent, truth-impaired president veered toward efforts to damage or topple Trump’s presidency.

Persistent rumors that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia over the election became the catnip that drove reporting. At NPR, we hitched our wagon to Trump’s most visible antagonist, Representative Adam Schiff.

Schiff, who was the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, became NPR’s guiding hand, its ever-present muse. By my count, NPR hosts interviewed Schiff 25 times about Trump and Russia. During many of those conversations, Schiff alluded to purported evidence of collusion. The Schiff talking points became the drumbeat of NPR news reports.

But when the Mueller report found no credible evidence of collusion, NPR’s coverage was notably sparse. Russiagate quietly faded from our programming.

It is one thing to swing and miss on a major story. Unfortunately, it happens. You follow the wrong leads, you get misled by sources you trusted, you’re emotionally invested in a narrative, and bits of circumstantial evidence never add up. It’s bad to blow a big story.

What’s worse is to pretend it never happened, to move on with no mea culpas, no self-reflection. Especially when you expect high standards of transparency from public figures and institutions, but don’t practice those standards yourself. That’s what shatters trust and engenders cynicism about the media.

Russiagate was not NPR’s only miscue.

In October 2020, the New York Post published the explosive report about the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer shop containing emails about his sordid business dealings. With the election only weeks away, NPR turned a blind eye. Here’s how NPR’s managing editor for news at the time explained the thinking: “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”

But it wasn’t a pure distraction, or a product of Russian disinformation, as dozens of former and current intelligence officials suggested. The laptop did belong to Hunter Biden. Its contents revealed his connection to the corrupt world of multimillion-dollar influence peddling and its possible implications for his father.

The laptop was newsworthy. But the timeless journalistic instinct of following a hot story lead was being squelched. During a meeting with colleagues, I listened as one of NPR’s best and most fair-minded journalists said it was good we weren’t following the laptop story because it could help Trump.

When the essential facts of the Post’s reporting were confirmed and the emails verified independently about a year and a half later, we could have fessed up to our misjudgment. But, like Russia collusion, we didn’t make the hard choice of transparency.

Politics also intruded into NPR’s Covid coverage, most notably in reporting on the origin of the pandemic. One of the most dismal aspects of Covid journalism is how quickly it defaulted to ideological story lines. For example, there was Team Natural Origin—supporting the hypothesis that the virus came from a wild animal market in Wuhan, China. And on the other side, Team Lab Leak, leaning into the idea that the virus escaped from a Wuhan lab.

The lab leak theory came in for rough treatment almost immediately, dismissed as racist or a right-wing conspiracy theory. Anthony Fauci and former NIH head Francis Collins, representing the public health establishment, were its most notable critics. And that was enough for NPR. We became fervent members of Team Natural Origin, even declaring that the lab leak had been debunked by scientists.

But that wasn’t the case.

When word first broke of a mysterious virus in Wuhan, a number of leading virologists immediately suspected it could have leaked from a lab there conducting experiments on bat coronaviruses. This was in January 2020, during calmer moments before a global pandemic had been declared, and before fear spread and politics intruded.

Reporting on a possible lab leak soon became radioactive. Fauci and Collins apparently encouraged the March publication of an influential scientific paper known as “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.” Its authors wrote they didn’t believe “any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”

But the lab leak hypothesis wouldn’t die. And understandably so. In private, even some of the scientists who penned the article dismissing it sounded a different tune. One of the authors, Andrew Rambaut, an evolutionary biologist from Edinburgh University, wrote to his colleagues, “I literally swivel day by day thinking it is a lab escape or natural.”

Over the course of the pandemic, a number of investigative journalists made compelling, if not conclusive, cases for the lab leak. But at NPR, we weren’t about to swivel or even tiptoe away from the insistence with which we backed the natural origin story. We didn’t budge when the Energy Department—the federal agency with the most expertise about laboratories and biological research—concluded, albeit with low confidence, that a lab leak was the most likely explanation for the emergence of the virus.

Instead, we introduced our coverage of that development on February 28, 2023, by asserting confidently that “the scientific evidence overwhelmingly points to a natural origin for the virus.”

When a colleague on our science desk was asked why they were so dismissive of the lab leak theory, the response was odd. The colleague compared it to the Bush administration’s unfounded argument that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, apparently meaning we won’t get fooled again. But these two events were not even remotely related. Again, politics were blotting out the curiosity and independence that ought to have been driving our work.

I’m offering three examples of widely followed stories where I believe we faltered. Our coverage is out there in the public domain. Anyone can read or listen for themselves and make their own judgment. But to truly understand how independent journalism suffered at NPR, you need to step inside the organization.

You need to start with former CEO John Lansing. Lansing came to NPR in 2019 from the federally funded agency that oversees Voice of America. Like others who have served in the top job at NPR, he was hired primarily to raise money and to ensure good working relations with hundreds of member stations that acquire NPR’s programming.

After working mostly behind the scenes, Lansing became a more visible and forceful figure after the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. It was an anguished time in the newsroom, personally and professionally so for NPR staffers. Floyd’s murder, captured on video, changed both the conversation and the daily operations at NPR.

Given the circumstances of Floyd’s death, it would have been an ideal moment to tackle a difficult question: Is America, as progressive activists claim, beset by systemic racism in the 2020s—in law enforcement, education, housing, and elsewhere? We happen to have a very powerful tool for answering such questions: journalism. Journalism that lets evidence lead the way.

But the message from the top was very different. America’s infestation with systemic racism was declared loud and clear: it was a given. Our mission was to change it.

“When it comes to identifying and ending systemic racism,” Lansing wrote in a companywide article, “we can be agents of change. Listening and deep reflection are necessary but not enough. They must be followed by constructive and meaningful steps forward. I will hold myself accountable for this.”

And we were told that NPR itself was part of the problem. In confessional language he said the leaders of public media, “starting with me—must be aware of how we ourselves have benefited from white privilege in our careers. We must understand the unconscious bias we bring to our work and interactions. And we must commit ourselves—body and soul—to profound changes in ourselves and our institutions.”

He declared that diversity—on our staff and in our audience—was the overriding mission, the “North Star” of the organization. Phrases like “that’s part of the North Star” became part of meetings and more casual conversation.

Race and identity became paramount in nearly every aspect of the workplace. Journalists were required to ask everyone we interviewed their race, gender, and ethnicity (among other questions), and had to enter it in a centralized tracking system. We were given unconscious bias training sessions. A growing DEI staff offered regular meetings imploring us to “start talking about race.” Monthly dialogues were offered for “women of color” and “men of color.” Nonbinary people of color were included, too.

These initiatives, bolstered by a $1 million grant from the NPR Foundation, came from management, from the top down. Crucially, they were in sync culturally with what was happening at the grassroots—among producers, reporters, and other staffers. Most visible was a burgeoning number of employee resource (or affinity) groups based on identity.

They included MGIPOC (Marginalized Genders and Intersex People of Color mentorship program); Mi Gente (Latinx employees at NPR); NPR Noir (black employees at NPR); Southwest Asians and North Africans at NPR; Ummah (for Muslim-identifying employees); Women, Gender-Expansive, and Transgender People in Technology Throughout Public Media; Khevre (Jewish heritage and culture at NPR); and NPR Pride (LGBTQIA employees at NPR).

All this reflected a broader movement in the culture of people clustering together based on ideology or a characteristic of birth. If, as NPR’s internal website suggested, the groups were simply a “great way to meet like-minded colleagues” and “help new employees feel included,” it would have been one thing.

But the role and standing of affinity groups, including those outside NPR, were more than that. They became a priority for NPR’s union, SAG-AFTRA—an item in collective bargaining. The current contract, in a section on DEI, requires NPR management to “keep up to date with current language and style guidance from journalism affinity groups” and to inform employees if language differs from the diktats of those groups. In such a case, the dispute could go before the DEI Accountability Committee.

In essence, this means the NPR union, of which I am a dues-paying member, has ensured that advocacy groups are given a seat at the table in determining the terms and vocabulary of our news coverage.

Conflicts between workers and bosses, between labor and management, are common in workplaces. NPR has had its share. But what’s notable is the extent to which people at every level of NPR have comfortably coalesced around the progressive worldview.

And this, I believe, is the most damaging development at NPR: the absence of viewpoint diversity.

There’s an unspoken consensus about the stories we should pursue and how they should be framed. It’s frictionless—one story after another about instances of supposed racism, transphobia, signs of the climate apocalypse, Israel doing something bad, and the dire threat of Republican policies. It’s almost like an assembly line.

The mindset prevails in choices about language. In a document called NPR Transgender Coverage Guidance—disseminated by news management—we’re asked to avoid the term biological sex. (The editorial guidance was prepared with the help of a former staffer of the National Center for Transgender Equality.) The mindset animates bizarre stories—on how The Beatles and bird names are racially problematic, and others that are alarmingly divisive; justifying looting, with claims that fears about crime are racist; and suggesting that Asian Americans who oppose affirmative action have been manipulated by white conservatives.

More recently, we have approached the Israel-Hamas war and its spillover onto streets and campuses through the “intersectional” lens that has jumped from the faculty lounge to newsrooms. Oppressor versus oppressed. That’s meant highlighting the suffering of Palestinians at almost every turn while downplaying the atrocities of October 7, overlooking how Hamas intentionally puts Palestinian civilians in peril, and giving little weight to the explosion of antisemitic hate around the world.

For nearly all my career, working at NPR has been a source of great pride. It’s a privilege to work in the newsroom at a crown jewel of American journalism. My colleagues are congenial and hardworking.

I can’t count the number of times I would meet someone, describe what I do, and they’d say, “I love NPR!”

And they wouldn’t stop there. They would mention their favorite host or one of those “driveway moments” where a story was so good you’d stay in your car until it finished.

It still happens, but often now the trajectory of the conversation is different. After the initial “I love NPR,” there’s a pause and a person will acknowledge, “I don’t listen as much as I used to.” Or, with some chagrin: “What’s happening there? Why is NPR telling me what to think?”

In recent years I’ve struggled to answer that question. Concerned by the lack of viewpoint diversity, I looked at voter registration for our newsroom. In D.C., where NPR is headquartered and many of us live, I found 87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans. None.

So on May 3, 2021, I presented the findings at an all-hands editorial staff meeting. When I suggested we had a diversity problem with a score of 87 Democrats and zero Republicans, the response wasn’t hostile. It was worse. It was met with profound indifference. I got a few messages from surprised, curious colleagues. But the messages were of the “oh wow, that’s weird” variety, as if the lopsided tally was a random anomaly rather than a critical failure of our diversity North Star.

In a follow-up email exchange, a top NPR news executive told me that she had been “skewered” for bringing up diversity of thought when she arrived at NPR. So, she said, “I want to be careful how we discuss this publicly.”

For years, I have been persistent. When I believe our coverage has gone off the rails, I have written regular emails to top news leaders, sometimes even having one-on-one sessions with them. On March 10, 2022, I wrote to a top news executive about the numerous times we described the controversial education bill in Florida as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill when it didn’t even use the word gay. I pushed to set the record straight, and wrote another time to ask why we keep using that word that many Hispanics hate—Latinx. On March 31, 2022, I was invited to a managers’ meeting to present my observations.

Throughout these exchanges, no one has ever trashed me. That’s not the NPR way. People are polite. But nothing changes. So I’ve become a visible wrong-thinker at a place I love. It’s uncomfortable, sometimes heartbreaking.

Even so, out of frustration, on November 6, 2022, I wrote to the captain of ship North Star—CEO John Lansing—about the lack of viewpoint diversity and asked if we could have a conversation about it. I got no response, so I followed up four days later. He said he would appreciate hearing my perspective and copied his assistant to set up a meeting. On December 15, the morning of the meeting, Lansing’s assistant wrote back to cancel our conversation because he was under the weather. She said he was looking forward to chatting and a new meeting invitation would be sent. But it never came.

I won’t speculate about why our meeting never happened. Being CEO of NPR is a demanding job with lots of constituents and headaches to deal with. But what’s indisputable is that no one in a C-suite or upper management position has chosen to deal with the lack of viewpoint diversity at NPR and how that affects our journalism.

Which is a shame. Because for all the emphasis on our North Star, NPR’s news audience in recent years has become less diverse, not more so. Back in 2011, our audience leaned a bit to the left but roughly reflected America politically; now, the audience is cramped into a smaller, progressive silo.

Despite all the resources we’d devoted to building up our news audience among blacks and Hispanics, the numbers have barely budged. In 2023, according to our demographic research, 6 percent of our news audience was black, far short of the overall U.S. adult population, which is 14.4 percent black. And Hispanics were only 7 percent, compared to the overall Hispanic adult population, around 19 percent. Our news audience doesn’t come close to reflecting America. It’s overwhelmingly white and progressive, and clustered around coastal cities and college towns.

These are perilous times for news organizations. Last year, NPR laid off or bought out 10 percent of its staff and canceled four podcasts following a slump in advertising revenue. Our radio audience is dwindling and our podcast downloads are down from 2020. The digital stories on our website rarely have national impact. They aren’t conversation starters. Our competitive advantage in audio—where for years NPR had no peer—is vanishing. There are plenty of informative and entertaining podcasts to choose from.

Even within our diminished audience, there’s evidence of trouble at the most basic level: trust.

In February, our audience insights team sent an email proudly announcing that we had a higher trustworthy score than CNN or The New York Times. But the research from Harris Poll is hardly reassuring. It found that “3-in-10 audience members familiar with NPR said they associate NPR with the characteristic ‘trustworthy.’ ” Only in a world where media credibility has completely imploded would a 3-in-10 trustworthy score be something to boast about.

With declining ratings, sorry levels of trust, and an audience that has become less diverse over time, the trajectory for NPR is not promising. Two paths seem clear. We can keep doing what we’re doing, hoping it will all work out. Or we could start over, with the basic building blocks of journalism. We could face up to where we’ve gone wrong. News organizations don’t go in for that kind of reckoning. But there’s a good reason for NPR to be the first: we’re the ones with the word public in our name.

Despite our missteps at NPR, defunding isn’t the answer. As the country becomes more fractured, there’s still a need for a public institution where stories are told and viewpoints exchanged in good faith. Defunding, as a rebuke from Congress, wouldn’t change the journalism at NPR. That needs to come from within.

A few weeks ago, NPR welcomed a new CEO, Katherine Maher, who’s been a leader in tech. She doesn’t have a news background, which could be an asset given where things stand. I’ll be rooting for her. It’s a tough job. Her first rule could be simple enough: don’t tell people how to think. It could even be the new North Star.

[mountain_jim]

Yes, was just talking about this joke of a CEO lady over lunch. Would love to see this organization strangled of all our tax funding unless or until it's fixed.

Punished NPR Journalist Resigns After Calling Out Partisan Trainwreck

BY TYLER DURDEN
WEDNESDAY, APR 17, 2024 - 11:03 AM
Update (Wed. 1103ET): Following his suspension from NPR for calling out their overt partisan bias, veteran journalist Uri Berliner has resigned after 25 years with the network.



"I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years," Berliner wrote, adding "I don’t support calls to defund NPR."

"I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism. But I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press essay," he continued.

She is actually the perfect choice for CEO of NPR. She represents everything that the radical left really believes.

Let's just recognize NPR for what it is. She is perfect for them. NPR will never be an objective real news organization. Let's just cut the govt money and let NPR be NPR.

Thanks for all that Mountain Jim! All I can say is, WOW.

She's quite a creature. Here's some of her tweets. They're absolutely preposterous (and very funny too, in a horrifying way).

An excellent piece by one brave journalist - a dying breed these days.

I can't think of anything fresh to say about these lunatics (the ones he's taking aiming at). What he relates is, I suspect, par for the course in all these media institutions. That should be patently obviously to all. Toxic policies have destroyed this industry, and he's exactly right when he says they need to start over, with the basic building blocks of journalism. The old needs to be torn down first though. And I don't see what could make that happen, short of an act of God.

[TrumanCash]

Yup. This NPR phenomenon hit home with me in the break-up of my common law marriage that I had leading up to the 2016 election of Trump. She was only getting her "news" (aka, propaganda) from NPR. I, on the other hand, never listened to NPR. She hated Trump while I enjoyed his flippant quips and political incorrectness. But it was NPR that drove a huge wedge between us even though I don't care much for politics.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but NPR reeks of the divide-and-conquer strategies of the C.I.A. As Catherine O'Brien's husband, Mark Phillips, used to say, "Mind control equals information control." Mark had worked for a CIA-connected corporation researching mind control. He left and rescued Cathy from the CIA MKUltra Project Monarch mind control. I highly recommend their book TRANCE FORMATION OF AMERICA: https://trance-formation.com/

• NPR’s New CEO Is The Ultimate Woke Mental Case!:

"Intellectual honesty is a crime in any totalitarian country"
- George Orwell

• “Water is wet” ... “No, that’s racist.”
• "there are many different truths" has got to be the most ridiculous sentence ever!! She's calling her own audience morons.
• She was signaling to the CIA that she will lie when told to do so. And what was the penalty for being an open liar? She gets to be CEO of NPR.

@machinethesun9243 quote:

"She's got the WEF resume with that NPR signature voice, you know the voice, it sounds all calm and soothing, puts you in a trance while you get brainwashed, Orwelled, gaslit and mindf*cked all at the same time. Sociopathic format to mk ultra the masses in a peak Orwell world, Stockholm syndrome over the airwaves. God, I wasted 15 years listening to NPR all day long, stopped listening a decade ago, before it became totally captured and weaponized".

Basically, "People should always rather be kissed with a lie, rather than slapped with the truth..." I think this "person" would rather be slapped with anything BUT the truth.

I used to enjoy listening to NPR. Then I grew up.

"Ultimate Woke Mental Case" ?! That's one hell of a statement . She must be waaaaay out there !

• No wonder the country is disintegrating.

While driving down south into Albuquerque a few years back, and tired of the state's radio stations lack of musical diversity and absence of mind opening humor, I channel searched for another radio station and came upon this:

"The next segment is sponsored by The Department of Homeland Security." I asked myself, did I really hear that? It reminded me of a picture of Geronimo kneeling on one leg, holding a rifle in his hands, and a caption that read "Original Homeland Security". I thought that I heard the station call itself "NPR", but I wasn't sure until I listened on for another 10 minutes...

Don't you love it when a government psyop department starts its day by saying, "Let's grow us some dumb f***s", and then actually puts its money, our money, into a sponsorship ad, seeing if they could trick their boss into allowing an ad for the agency to be put on air.

They all laughed when they finally heard that the ad was actually going on air, but the laugh was on them when the next day they heard from their angry boss after he was told that not only was an unauthorized DHS ad paid for and put on the air but it stood out because the dumbest of the station's listeners, enjoyed by all in Bernalillo County and places far beyond, called in to ask what they were selling and if they had any free promotional swag to hand out with their DHS logo on it, seeing as the department was taxpayer funded, which is a logical conclusion for anyone who'd listen to that one affiliate radio station on a regular, not-Guantanamo Bay influenced at least when Ronny DeSantis was there, not-torture imposed, basis.


That was odd, and uncharacteristically honest, especially for an arm of the corporate american propagandist machine. I actually thought that the ad was the beginning of a comedy routine and that I had lucked out and found a full-on comedy channel, on the radio, no less, in the uniparty world of the poorest, most corrupt, 3rd world state in any 1st world country, a peculiar region of the country that those in the Know call La Tierra De Los Ladrones, The Land of The Thieves.

Then again, something in the voice-over actor's tone was a little too serious. Maybe the actor was that good, maybe not. I was getting my hopes up for finding a worthwhile companion in my long travels to and from film work, freeing my thoughts from those Burqueños that often inspired my troubled journeys into the minds lost in the disenchanted, remaining high desert patches of junipers and cottonwoods....their allergies to the scents another unheeded warning of the deeper mess they were in....

Skinwalkers from the Norteño lands, caught in the twisted, dark languages of the Nahual demons brought down by the DeeNeh, the otherwise "Navajos", who were kicked out of the Northern lands by their Athabaskan tribal relatives so long ago...while clueless scientists roamed, completely unaware of the connection between the cursed dry lands of the early Maya, their lands drained by human sacrifice and the remnants of Chaco Canyon, a settlement that didn't need human sacrifice to drain away its own spiritual strengths.

Just ask the Hopi, the ones who took them in, taught them everything they are known for now: weaving, growing the 3 sister crops, animal husbandry...They also experienced what happens when you take in the needy, share the best knowledge you have, only to experience the effects of the darkness they carried deep within their souls. They now threatened your safety, your connection to nature and the spirit within all, turning upon your very existence...forcing you into isolation for survival...traveling back deep into the earth to your own power of collective prayer to counter their darkness.

When the slave church, in this instance the catholic one, was introduced into the land of the Hopi, they learned to reject them and their remaining tribes kicked them out. Initially, they completely did not understand that the strange ones entering their lands were not the fulfillment of the prophetic vision of the Pahana. When the Hopi elders opened their hands with their palms up in a greeting, the strangers placed trinkets in them, in stead of placing their hands down upon the open palms in a gesture of friendship. A long while after they had removed the influence of that disease in their lives, one of the tribes accepted the priests and soldiers back in. Soon afterwards the remaining tribes of Hopi, knowing full well the soul threatening nature of losing their spiritual, physical and economic lives....they destroyed all of the living residents and the animals in that one community. Now there are only ruins where those who lost their way once were.

In these days most tribes, communities, groups, ethnicities, and nations of likes, trained to dislike others, have lost their power of connectivity with the integral essences of themselves that thrive when challenged to gain comfort within the differences, the challenges that nurture.

Upon the retreat of the DeeNeh from the lands of the north, the droughts were lost to heavy skies, which soon after their departure were filled with the heavenly rains that had waited for a people to awaken and regain the sounds alive in the Listening, singing the sounds of songs created by the prayer for all, and the curse upon none. There is nothing new about the curses of the past and the ones now present.

Not too many centuries removed now from those proofs no one can say how the DeeNeh are living, except themselves... their neighbors and the constant stories I hear from them doing some of the same things. Some have learned the harshest of lessons and some have moved on. That's the nature of having those pony soldiers who once massacred others, finding themselves alive again, but this time while inhabiting the bodies within the very same tribes of those they killed in the past. When you take what is not yours, what you have will also be taken but only when you have experienced all the life it took to gain those real connections...like the hair you now grow long, the health you fight to keep, and the nurturing land that you have experienced since childhood as a part of you.

Although humans don't believe in the great powers of their collective songs to change the very environments they occupy, they still act like they own the place, like they had everything to do with its creation and upkeep.

It is fitting that the stories embedded into a soul-stricken, sick culture, enthralled with the curses upon their own, have found their way into another gathering, one predating the primitive but now called modern. It trades in the death it's lies carry over the air, and in the eagle's claw scratching on the leaves that carry the stranger'e lies.

Like those found in these states where the movie makers have landed, tax incentives notwithstanding-like honey on a hot spit, waiting to burn the tongue that condemns others for their own crimes. Malcolm warned about that dark soul influencing the many who would not question it's hidden motives.

Like plastic christians.... silent in the payment to the blood red god of zion... killing.....Not noticing that the dictionary of truth we all know, alive within our own hearts, had long since cited that the word "Oxymoron" was most correctly attributed to the combination of two opposites...Christianity and Zionism.

When a christian called themselves "zionist", equating true christianity with compassion For All, Without Discrimination Shining its Love on All...And then attaches zionism with it, its opposite, the absence of Love, of The Light, drained of any residual Courage and Service to ALL and For ALL, killing all that is left of any of the colors within their lost hue-manities...

We acknowledge that these proofs go far beyond any pale, where any blind soul could see, any deaf soul could hear, and any mindless soul could understand that the silent ones who claim some corner of their own christianity, while now alive in the time of the widely televised mass murderers of the innocents in the open air prisons of Palestine, could not by Christ's own living be called "Christian".

It is all so evil that even the demonic wordsmiths in the basements of hell have not yet come up with their own catch phrase for their ancient practice of genocide. In this context even that word doesn't do the slaughters justice....which is just as well. I don't wait for the oral spew from the same orcs who dug a phrase like 'ethnic cleansing' out of their arses. From what I've been told not even NPR could pass the killings off as justified, without another 100 Netanyahoo, Qatari and Hamas billionaire funded attacks on another illegal, occupied outpost.

This all being done while suicidal film crews drown in dreams where their own voices cannot be heard...Boosters in their blood, awakened then immediately sent to death by the quickening of the clots, where the language of death says No to any life they may have had left. I knew some of them would die, and early on I shared the details of the dirty deeds that their own leaders should know, and ones that in the long run...those leaders were paid to do, dirt cheap. Of course we do have to record that this local, a morally disconnected "union", was trained well for the tasks its masters paid them to complete...and untrained them just as well, removing their discernment, and any chance to even breath completely while working.

It would be easy, tho not entirely honest, to place the burden of deaths and illnesses on a national safety agency bribed to put its voice on vacation, or the leadership in the union for not pre-empting the loss of its members rights to health and work place safety, even given its collusion with the guild of producer's demands from an October, 2021 secret agreement, but those valid arguments pale in the shadow of the collective group of members own, silenced voices. Those dues paying member's payments amounted to nothing more than ensuring the highest likelihood that they would either die quickly or acquire turbo-charged versions of the minor illnesses they had before the clot shot entered their veins, far beyond the critical time when they had lost their own say in matters of their rights to choose, even in matters of their own survival.

My time in their reconciliation and justice committees, after the removal of the deep infection they called their business agent, only exposed to me that the social cancer they nurtured along with him was way beyond any possible healing. I didn't expect anything different when the last four years were set into action, even as my efforts to inform and warn, with all of my studies and proofs, went away in vain.

I can guarantee that not one single film union in this country, even after all of the deaths, the admissions of the CDC, and all of the abnormally acquired illnesses, unknown in all statistical records past, offers any of the known, proven and most effective natural and human created treatments now available to halt the progression of the spike proteins being created in those injected with this predicted Kill Shot. ( I understood what Ed was talking about when I heard him translate his viewing, even if he did not.) And not a word from the public service announcements on any radio or t.v. station, especially not NPR.

The fact that I now hear their cries, calling out "O'SHA, O'SHA, WHY HAVE YOU ABANDONED US", makes only a sad epilogue, noting the failure of the agency that left leaving decades of deep discernment, founded in the experiences won from billions of hours of labor, were now lost in their silenced rules and regulations on safety and workers rights....all for the memories of those who have died from the regulation defying, rule breaking mandates. I will long recall death's own anticipation of the many more who will likely die in these fast approaching years from the accelerated and deeply personal industry working within all of the now self-destructive, poison-infused cells, marking the timeline when the industries of death took a very personal turn into lives of so many billions.

It is not just any someone, somewhere who sold the script, poisoned by a simple bias to mislead, to cheat, and to maim the psyche of the uninformed public. It is all alone given life and death by the silence of those affected. I'm not glad that I had to leave a union to protect my rights and my health, my life. I'm just appreciative that I maintain some connections to the life here, as I often remember the 4 closest neighbors who all lost their lives to the boosters that rushed them past death's doors, many years and in two cases decades before their times were to end. I see no difference in the methods used against the once working union members and the recently retired neighbors I knew, as I hear what I've always heard in the depths of this silent world.

Why should anyone be surprised when the newest DHS HQ, sharing it's compound with an international children's "school", is located down the street from the ever-expanding Netflix studio lots, originally called the "Q" studios, as they were located in the southern and somewhat isolated area of AlbuQuerque, just past the Airport of the Sun.

My building experiences there inspired me to call the studios the Gross Studios, as I couldn't help but notice that the entirety of film productions were based upon the accounting manipulations of expenses, at crew and studio levels alike, with an imaginary line somewhere between the above and the below, the modern Maginot line being just like the old one, where death rules the roost, finding its way around the walls they built, capturing the living...and dragging them down into the world where there is no purpose or meaning..

No matter calling it alive or dead, it all really being the same trick...
where the "talent" was equally vacant on both sides of the camera, and a place where only an insider could honestly calculate the difference between Net and Gross, depending on where the Flicks of the accountant's wrist would go,...to grift, to money laundering from their overlord's many illicit trading practices, to outright theft...whatever works. The entertainment businesses do have a symbiotic attraction to, and a melding with, govern-mental advertising, in a dog-like, butt-to-butt kinda way.

However, as impossible as this seems to be, I was pleasantly surprised to then hear the station identify itself as NPR, National Public Radio, commonly known in the past as National Petroleum Radio for all of its past and present mastery in the arts of bribery. That educated guess was the joke I made to myself while imagining just what kind of radio station would allow an Orwellian mind F**c'd and mind F**cing governmental department to advertise some reason for a listener, a consumer by definition, to buy WhateverTF it might be selling.

That was a reminder when traveling to carry more CDs and add more songs to my carry-along thumb drive for my long distance listening pleasure. It is at times necessary to listen to and hear the lies from the liars, from the nprs, but we do have reasonable limits to listening. It's our health, you see, that must be maintained above all. I am eternally grateful for having had grown up with siblings who challenged each other in being the first to identify the makers of t.v. and radio commercials. This seemingly unimportant, shared skill set has served me well.

• NPR Whistleblower SCORCHES NPR!:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=MEGfCfOpLVE

Veteran NPR editor Uri Berliner has blown the whistle on how the publicly-funded broadcaster has become an activist organization obsessed with pushing progressive ideals. Berliner argues that NPR has gone from a respected information source to one that can no longer be trusted to honestly cover the news.

• Typical NPR program would be something like:

01. We talk to gay black trump voter
02. Ethnic music no one likes
03. Backyard farming is oppression somehow
04. These specific Israelis are at the humanitarian forefront
05. Migration. Why that's a good thing!
06. How asking analyzing data about a new vaccine is denying science

Here is a post by Sayer-Ji of GreenMedInfo.com about an interview he had with an NPR reporter who, like other reporters on NPR's site as well as other coordinated, big pharma and Gates Foundation funded attacks on the vast array of health information he has published. Sayer-Ji is in fact one of the dishonestly labeled "Disinformation Dozen" that the pharma owned media complex has targeted for years, a further proof of the veracity of the information he shares.


"This is an exclusive cross-interview recorded on May 5, 2021, featuring Geoff Brumfiel, the NPR reporter who wrote a somewhat denigrating piece about me. 
Brumfiel and I agreed to ask a number of questions of one another, to be recorded and shared with the public in order to provide the full context of the written piece."

I highly recommend subscribing to his daily emails and the weekend summaries he posts.
I have no financial interest or investment in his site or his products, but I'd buy some of the products if I had the funds.

We are living in a world where insanity now rules, where those that are supposed to be teaching their children "life lessons" are teaching them that insanity is the norm and to "Celebrate it"... as it is "Expression"... And all the while the noose on our freedoms grows tighter...

The "Reporters" of the day do nothing but regurgitate what someone else has told them to say, they're not selling truth, they're selling what they're told to.. just as we "Reshare" tweets, they are resharing narratives... If I am not mistaken a "Port" is where a ship docks... Essentially reporting is redirecting where the attention is to go... Or us, the cattle... Re- tends to mean redirecting, doing again, and or misdirecting.

A free press died long ago, replaced by narratives, lies, and ideals of the few, to seduce the many into new beliefs and ideas. It's just more powerful than in older times when information wasn't so quick to spread.

Watching the cattle gather to bolster this stuff, in masses of crowds of idiots chanting nonsense leaves me scratching my head, wondering how these supposed intelligent people, believe the BS. And I walk away realizing I gave their intelligence way too much credit. Simply because they have degrees and higher education, means nothing more these days than a higher level of indoctrination... They believed the nonsense, got good scores at learning it, and being able to cite it upon request and that is where they got said degrees... It's mind boggling at just how quickly an entire planet can be turned around... Sickening really, I thought humans were smarter than that...
