Journal smittyoneeach's Journal: Hold before you the truth that the Kochs are the bad guys 23
The FCC may have suspended its invasion into American newsrooms, but the controversial "Critical Information Needs" study also has George Soros' fingerprints all over it.
While disturbing, this should come as no surprise since Soros' gave more than $52 million to media organizations from 2000-2010.
Two schools were working with FCC on the project, according to Byron York of The Washington Examiner. The University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Communication and Democracy, were tasked by the FCC with coming up with criteria for what information is "critical" for Americans to have. The FCC study would have covered newspapers, websites, radio and television, according to The Washington Post.
On top of the 1st Amendment problems with this proposal, the schools involved have strong ties to liberal billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundations and have gotten more than $1.8 million from since 2000.
Read the whole thing, and don't forget that the Kochs are bad.

Of really? Pull the other one. They want to protect and increase their wealth/power. That is their singular goal. They could hardly give a damn about your "liberty". That you believe they discuss such nonsense when they are off camera only show gross naivete. That you pick sides in this little fairy tale says something else entirely.

The hyper-materialist crowd is the walking joke here, as Thomas Nagel [wikipedia.org] has explored. He laughs at my theistic answers as much as your existential impotence, but we all merit a good chuckle from time to time.

How about you explain to me how life precipitates from the periodic table of elements, invents and internet, and shares information in a way that is self-aware?
Nature baby! Cold and totally, absolutely indifferent nature. Attraction and repulsion. Electrical and chemical. What you anthropomorphize and call "god"*. And like it or not, you are still on autopilot. Ain't it beautiful?

They aren't about "liberty". They only want to hoard/concentrate their wealth/power. You people are only looking for the same thing, and believe things like trickle down will make you rich, just like them. The envy is yours. You wish you could be Richard Cory. Your "liberty" based on their actions would be entirely ancillary. I can assure you it is of no concern to them one way or the other. Please, don't be so naive.

Also, much like CS, you're completely wrong. Facism / Nazism are phenomenon of the political LEFT, not RIGHT.
Modern Liberalism is the unholy child of Marx's socialism and Robespierre's secular humanism. It is wholly on the LEFT of the political spectrum. Communism, National Socialism, the Italian Fascism, are all fruit born from this tree.
