During the last presidential campaign in Ecuador, Rafael Correa used the media to discredit the opposition and brainwash voters to vote for him. Once in power, Correa became a dictator. He is working with Hugo Chavez, imposing “socialismo del siglo XXI” (Marxism) in Ecuador and collaborating with Islamic terrorists. Informed Ecuadorians could not understand how the media could be so biased in favor of the leftist candidate Correa.

Many believe the media became corrupt because Hugo Chavez not only funded Correa’s multi-million presidential campaign, but also paid the media. Anyone trying to inform Ecuadorians regarding the real Rafael Correa was ridiculed, discredited, vilified, sued, accused of infractions or crimes, and finally silenced. As it happened in Ecuador, the mainstream media in the United States has also demonstrated unethical and unrestricted support for the leftist candidate, in this case, Barack Obama.

On the one hand, they have refused to report on important and relevant topics that reflect negatively on Obama. On the other hand, they have focused on trying to destroy Presidential candidate John McCain and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.  While most news reports about Obama are positive, most news reports about McCain are negative. And ever since Sarah Palin was nominated as the Vice Presidential candidate, the media have gone wild criticizing, ridiculing and insulting her at every turn. Most of those attacks have been factually wrong and intellectually dishonest.

In addition to attacking McCain and Palin, the mainstream media is also attacking anyone who tries to show Americans the real Obama. Even Joe the Plumber has been vilified for asking a question that prompted Obama to uncover his plan to “redistribute the wealth.”

The Mainstream Media and Jerome Corsi

The smear campaign against Jerome Corsi is a case in point.  Dr. Corsi (PhD Harvard) is a senior staff reporter of World Net Daily (WND) and the author of the New York Times No. 1 best-selling book, The Obama Nation.  An independent and courageous journalist, Corsi put his life and well-being at risk to travel to Kenya to dig up the truth about presidential candidate Obama. Corsi was rightfully concerned, as any thinking American should be, about Obama’s connections to Kenya’s thug Raila Odinga.

CNN attacked Corsi and defended Obama. “Book on Obama blasted for ‘vicious innuendo’” wrote the title of a CNN article. “There’s a new book out about Barack Obama that some say is riddled with pretty much every unsubstantiated rumor you’ve ever heard about the Illinois senator.”  CNN continued with negative comments against Corsi from the Obama camp, but it never bothered to cover the most important issue for Americans, the issue presented in Corsi’s book: the connection between Obama and his Marxist relative Odinga. (Source: CNN Politics — Book on Obama blasted for ‘vicious innuendo’.)

The New York Times also focused on attacking Corsi’s credibility calling him a “gadfly.”  ”In the summer of 2004 the conservative gadfly Jerome R. Corsi shot to the top of the best-seller lists as co-author of “Unfit for Command,” began the New York Times article. (Source: New York Times, Politics — Book Attacking Obama Hopes to Repeat ’04 Anti-Kerry Feat.)

Showing complete lack of ethics, the mainstream media has failed to properly inform Americans about what Obama did in Kenya.  They have justified ignoring this story based on comments from the Obama camp and details that perhaps need to be confirmed. However, the underlying (more important issues) are verifiably true. In August and September 2006, Senator Barack Obama traveled to South Africa, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Kenya. While in Kenya, Obama consistently appeared at the side of fellow Luo Raila Odinga (“your agent for change”), who was running for President.

Obama’s partisan support for Odinga was so transparent, that the Kenyan Government spokesman, Alfred Matua, complained of political posturing to aid Odinga’s election chances: “It is very clear that the senator has been used as a puppet to perpetuate opposition politics.” (Source — Walking The World Stage, Newsweek 9/11/06.)  Obama used his elected office — and taxpayers’ dollars — to support Kenya’s Odinga, a violent Marxist thug who made a pact with the Muslims to institute Sharia (Islamic law) although only 10 percent of Kenyans are Muslim.

Odinga’s followers killed some 1000 people and burned 800 Christian churches, including one with 50 people, many of them children, inside. During a KTN interview in Kenya, Odinga admitted signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Muslims, but said the MOU did not include anything regarding Sharia because he’s an Anglican. Listen to him… Raila Odinga’s KTN Interview – 15/11/2009

 
However, Odinga LIED. In the MOU Odinga signed, he promised to “within 1 year facilitate the establishment of a Sharia court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters, to order primary schools to conduct daily Madrassa classes, to impose a total ban on open-air gospel crusades…” Read the MOU… Memorandum of Understanding Between Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga Representing the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF).

Why is the U.S. media so desperate to support Obama as to hide important information Americans have the right to know? In their efforts to keep Americans ignorant of negative information about Obama, the U.S. mainstream media has lost all credibility.

Barack Obama has had close ties to Marxists, including unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and Obama’s relative Kenya’s Odinga, “Your Agent for Change,” the violent anti-American thug who made a pact with the Muslims to institute Sharia (Islamic law). Those ties, added to his plans to “redistribute the wealth,” concern many Americans.

There’s the hope, however, that even if Obama were elected, the checks and balances in the U.S. will make it impossible for Obama to impose Marxism in the U.S. and deliver the U.S. to its enemies.

But are those checks and balances in place? With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the U.S. Congress has turned dangerously left and is being manipulated by the likes of Chávez and his Islamic terrorists and Russian friends. Only the worst can be expected if the U.S. ends up with a Marxist president working with a Congress manipulated by Marxists and Islamic terrorists.

Nancy Pelosi and Chávez

On April 2008, Latin American U.S. friends were shocked to learn that Speaker of the U.S. House Nancy Pelosi not only refused to step forward and approve the vital Colombia free-trade agreement, but she prevented anyone else voting on it.

After President Bush submitted the pact to a vote under fast-track rules, she changed them to ensure it wouldn’t go anywhere anytime soon. By a 224 to 195 House vote, the voting timeline rule on trade pacts was changed from 90 days to whenever. Pelosi now can hold up Colombia’s treaty however long her caprice dictates.

“The message Democrats sent today,” Bush warned after Thursday’s vote, “is that no matter how steadfastly you stand with us, we will turn our backs on you when it is politically convenient.” President Bush was right.

In spite of tremendous pressure and intimidation from Chávez, Correa, FARC and all other anti-U.S. forces, Colombia’s president Álvaro Uribe has remained a steadfast friend of the U.S. And he has been able to provide more security and prosperity to Colombians than any other president in recent history.

Democrats Freeze the Colombian FTA with the “Chavez Rule,” was the headline at Noticias 24 following Pelosi’s historic move to block free trade with Colombia. (See Latin American Media Paints Pelosi As a Chavez Lackey.)

Within hours of the vote, Latin American media already were calling Pelosi’s maneuver the “Chavez Rule.”

Latin Americans could not understand how Pelosi could choose to harm America’s best ally in Latin America, punishing a vibrant democracy by isolating it from all the other nations that have sought and won free trade.

Unlike military aid, the free trade agreement costs the U.S. nothing, is too small to have much impact on the U.S. economy and is mainly about ending tariffs on U.S. goods sold in Colombia, matching the no-tariff trade that Colombian firms already get here. Chavez’s propaganda machine manipulated Pelosi and Congress.

In July 2008, Pelosi illicitly stepped outside her role as Speaker and attempted to institute her own foreign policy by communicating with left-wing Colombian Piedad Córdoba, telling her that she and Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA) were ready to help them arrange swaps of captured terrorists for hostages held by FARC terrorists. (Foreign policy is the exclusive role of the president and not the legislative branch.)

Piedad Córdoba, a close friend of Chavez, is a frequent visitor to the Venezuelan presidential palace. Córdoba is also trusted by the FARC and is often photographed with its leaders. She is an enemy of Uribe. Why was Pelosi working with an enemy of Uribe, a U.S. friend?

Informed Latin Americans wonder why Democratic Party leaders of the U.S. Congress are supporting the anti-U.S. Chavez-Morales-Correa bloc and are hurting U.S. friend Uribe. (Read USA Democratic Party Called Now to Declare Allegiances to Liberty or Andean Narco-communism.)

Manipulated by Chavez, Islamic terrorists and other enemies of the U.S., Americans may select the wrong candidate and destroy their future and the future of their children. It happened to Venezuelans, Bolivians and Ecuadorians who believed in CHANGE and YES WE CAN.

Freedom loving Venezuelans, Bolivians and Ecuadorians are hoping that a free and democratic U.S. will help them free themselves from Chavez, Russia and Iran. Those hopes may vanish if Obama is elected.

Wake up, Americans! It’s not too late yet. Save your country and save the world!
