Shill (n) - an associate of a person selling goods or services or a political group, who pretends no association to the seller/group and assumes the air of an enthusiastic customer.
It all began with Rick Santelli starting a neocon hijacking of the tea party movement and turning it into a mainstream left-right issue. Then Glenn Beck said he now supports Ron Paul, despite previously calling Ron Paul supporters dangerous terrorists.
Why isn't this a good thing? Well, in a way it is, because a lot of former neocons are somewhat awakened to liberty by their opposition to what Obama is doing (pity they don't get that it's very similar to what Bush was doing). But it's also a bad thing because it keeps the left from further waking up because they think the tea parties are all about those 'anti-gay, racist, Rush Limbaugh Republicans' who should have been complaining for the last eight years.
Well, the tea parties did NOT start with Rick Santelli. They started as early as 2007, and consisted of Ron Paul supporters who advocated restoring the Constitution (they did NOT start with former Bush supporters in 2009 as many now believe!!!)
It is true that, with the fake leftwing in government, the freedom movement would instead target the fake rightwing, who weren't currently blinded by 'their President' being in office, to try and wake more people up.
(Side note: doesn't it sicken you when people refer to Obama possessively as 'my President' or 'our President'? HA! He's owned by the international bankers, just like every Pres since JFK, he doesn't give a damn about you and neither does the shadow government.)
So any lefty who mistakenly believes the tea parties and the people behind the new revolution are Bushies, rest assured that it isn't about Bush, or reinstating slavery, or even abortion/gay marriage issues. It's that mysterious 200-year-old document. You know, the one with the amendments attached to it. ;)
Now I get to what I wanted to show you, which is a prime example of a shill in action. Take two blog posts by Cody Willard of Fox News Business.
The first is entitled Citigroup and the World Bank Illuminati are stealing our money, and talks about "the most IMF-politically-connected people", among other things, and how they're stealing everything. Good to hear some truth.
Now we advance to the second, called...er...I was wrong: Gold’s going to crash. Um...no. The paper-based currency is going to crash, leaving commodities like gold with massive demand as an alternate tool for trading and as a safer store of wealth. Don't need to be an economist to see that one.
"Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value - ZERO." - Voltaire
Just like Glenn Beck sucking people in with his pro-liberty rhetoric then doing a disastrous pisspoor attempted 'debunking' of FEMA camps, here we have another Murdoch-paid shill telling us gold isn't going to keep climbing. Like those who told us that the housing bubble would go on forever, and a certain hilarious news clip about Bear Stearns:
Their credibility is worth ZERO, just like the establishment's magic Monopoly paper money is going to be worth soon enough.
Love the post.... and yes Ron Paul is my hero!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteWell, looking at your blog I wouldn't have noticed that! ;)
Santelli started the Tea Party Movement for me.
ReplyDeleteTotally true, Anon. I'm just refuting the claim made by the Obama supporters that it's *just* the stereotypical white Republican Bush supporter who is doing the 'teabagging' as they mockingly refer to it.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that Santelli brought the tea parties into the mainstream, I'm just saying that there was an ulterior motive to that, which was to attempt to discredit the real pro-Constitution resistance by making it look as if everyone there was a follower of Limbaugh, and sat idly by while Bush shredded the Constitution but now is all of a sudden angry as Obama is elected.
The tea parties are a fantastic thing and overall I commend anyone and everyone who made those happen - people care about the state of their nation again, who'd have thunk it? :)
I consider anything that comes out of the left winged media and the Obama administration a representation of Soros' views as much as the "right winged" views are a product of Murdoch.
ReplyDeleteBoth men are old, jewish tycoons whom I can't relate to.
They don't represent the average American.
For example, many right wingers I know don't consider abortion and abolishing gay marraige a top priority for our country. We're mostly a diverse group of business minded people who want less government.
I'll let the left fend for themselves.
That's absolutely right, I'm not trying to slander everything 'right wing', just as I don't disagree with everything stated by the 'left wing'.
ReplyDeleteSoros and Murdoch really are mirror images of each other, aren't they? :)
I'm particularly addressing misconceptions about the tea parties, and small government theorists generally, which are held by the left.
Whenever I mention Ron Paul for example, they recoil in disgust that someone doesn't support 'a woman's ownership of her uterus' as they see it. While that's an important issue to some, it's not really the most important one when it comes to how a country should be run.
The establishment knows this and so they use the trivial (though obviously very emotive) issues to keep people divided, and distracted from the really important ones such as the creation and manipulation of money.
