FreeRepublic & Rush Limbaugh Meant to Keep Conservatives & Libertarians on the Plantation
Examiner.com ^ | Sunday, December 27, 2009 | LA County Libertarian

Posted on 12/27/2009 10:55:42 AM PST by kristinn

On November 19th, Rush Limbaugh caused a stir when he mentioned PrisonPlanet.com on his radio show and linked to them on his website, touting their article 'With Hurricanes At Thirty Year Low, Gore Turns To Photoshop'.

By the end of the day, though, Limbaugh or his handlers had tried to erase all signs of the endorsement, as Paul Joseph Watson pointed out in his article Rush Limbaugh Censors Mention Of Prison Planet From His Own Archives. Watson noted "Any links to the Prison Planet.com story, which were prominently featured all over Limbaugh’s website, have also been deleted and replaced with a similar story by Newsbusters, a Neo-Con news website. What caused Limbaugh to order the material removed? Our guess is that he was probably bombarded with e mails from the legions of virulently retarded Neo-Cons that make up the audience of phony right-wing websites like Free Republic, on which all Alex Jones material is aggressively banned".

In the fourth hour of his November 20th radio show, Alex Jones covered the issue, playing clips and showing screenshots indictaing Limbaugh's duplicity. Paul Joseph Watson, author of both articles, appeared on air to discuss the issue:

Watson: "He's even edited his own trancript to take out the part where he says prisonplanet.com .. So I think he probably, him or the people who run his website started getting a ton of emails yesterday afternoon from these FreeRepublic type neocons who really hate our guts; and any Alex Jones material is aggressively banned from FreeRepublic and those kind of websites. And he just probably got a lot of emails and eventually just removed it; and it's gone it's memory holed."

Jones: "But see all FreeRepublic and Rush Limbaugh and people are doing by being neocons is making themselves obsolete and not even pertinent in the debate. I mean Limbaugh and others are still saying there's no world government, when it's openly being announced. All we're doing is covering what's really happening. and we don't want to be enemies with any of these people, and we understand they're part of the fake right wing, you know, that has to keep conservatives and libertarians on the reservation, on their plantation. But we're here to bring liberty we're here to unlock minds. And we're here to expose the fact that our Republic is falling and imploding. And I want to encourage Rush Limbaugh listeners and supporters to come find the real deal here.

"I mean we're no compromise for this country and freedom and the constitution and the Bill of rights. and we're not gonna attack Ron Paul and stab him in the back. We're the real deal. And dont allow yourself to be co-opted by Rush Limbaugh..."

The Austin, Texas radio host ended the hour by calling out Limbaugh and other fake right-wingers.

Jones: "We don't need you to link to us Rush Limbaugh. You understand that? You're the old fake conservative dinosaur. We are the future.I've financed this whole thing with my listeners. I have no big corporations supporting me. I've built all this with the support. You see Rush Limbaugh making films every 6 months? You see Rush Limbaugh having the number one videos online over and over and over again? No. He had the military industrial complex go give him 600 radio stations. He's hooked up with the CIA on record.

"So go ahead Limbaugh, keep acting like youre the real patriot, and continue; Hey I think its good you're starting to go further. But we're forcing him to go further. This guy all these decades, twenty years has been denying new world order, denying global government. It was his job to keep you asleep while all this was being built. And now hes trying to take on some of our political coloration to stay relevant, okay. We're the future Limbaugh, and you know it and Glenn Beck knows it. And if you want to be the future, wake up and become a patriot. But you cant do that; you can just act like it enough to fool people because you're a creature of the new world order. thanks for the plug, Rush".

In June 2006 Limbaugh, who in recent years has had a gaggle of neocon government-apologist imitators join him on the talk show circuit, was detained at a Florida airport with an illegal Viagra prescription, after returning from a trip to the Dominican Republic.

Hannity, meanwhile, told actor Chuck Norris that Ron Paul is nuts, then a few weeks later called Ron Paul supporters extremists and said that we wouldn't have free speech if it weren't for the "military industrial complex".

Glenn Beck, who was touted by Sarah Palin as a possible running mate if she were to run in 2012, has demonized Ron Paul and his supporters for years, even comparing them to terrorists, while at the same time aiming to attract a constitutional type audience.

. In 1999, Before garnering an reputation for being a staunch Republican apologist, Free Republic owner Jim Robinson had a surprisingly critical opinion about George Bush, who was then running for president:

"So, it doesn't matter if he snorted coke as a youth? It was a long time ago, a youthful in-discretion? Kinda like people who frequented sneakeasies during prohibition? Kind of a cute story, eh? Well, how about all the people whose lives have been destroyed by being arrested for the felony of drug possession? What about the millions of people who are rotting away in your filthy drug infested prisons at this very moment?

"Well, by God, if you people insist on electing another cokehead as President, you damned well better throw open all the prison cell doors and free every man, woman, and child you're holding on drug charges. And if you're gonna elect another drug felon as President, you'd better rescind each and every one of your unconstitutional drug laws now on the books, including all of your unconstitutional search and seizure laws, and your asset forfeiture laws, and your laws that enable your unconstitutional snooping into our bank accounts and cash transactions. Well, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You people are sick! Conservatives my ass. You people are nothing but a bunch of non-thinking hypocrits! You're a shame and a disgrace to the Republic!

"And, I, for one, am tired of taking orders from cokeheads and felons! Elect another one and I'll tell you what. I'll be ready for war! It'll be time to take up arms and run the filthy lying bastards out!" In 2004, Robsinson was questioned as to whether the quote attributed to him was legitimate, and replied in the affirmative: "Guilty as charged. It was a sarcastic reply to an absurd Wall Street Journal op ed piece that was promoting the idea that it doesn't matter if US presidents are illegal drug users. Naturally, I objected."

Occasionally a topic with Infowars content will make it to FreeRepublic such as this one about Obama Joker posters, yet ironically, with over 200 replies, doesn't seem to have one mention of Alex Jones, PrisonPlanet.com, or Infowars.com.

A whole host of internet discussion forums are available as alternatives, some of which have been started by posters who were either banned or left FreeRepublic voluntarily. Other liberty forums focus on libertarian ideology, news and were centered around Congresman Ron Paul's run for the presidency. Here is a partial list: http://www.strike-the-root.com/

Thanks.

"Neocon: a conservative who doesn’t hate Jews.

You know, that's BS.

Julia Gorin is a friend and she also said this about neocons and Jews, and even I called her on that one.

I really don't see how supporting people like Bush, who also supported giving away half of Jerusalem & creating a Palestinian state are "pro-Israel".

To me, being pro-Israel is supporting Israel's independence to defend herself, not the US Congress (or Arabist State Department) pulling her strings and making her sacrifice herself satisfy some Saudi prince.

I will grant you, Obama is Israel's worst nightmare, just as he is America's worst nightmare. But quit acting like Neocons are "Israel's saviors", because if they, as American politicians, don't give a damn about US citizens, why in the heck do you think that they should care about Israelis?

Ron Paul is a rebel, a radical, and an idealist. He advocates swinging the country back in the direction of Freedom, and in this speech, he has clearly identified who Freedom's enemies are, what they think and how they think. Like most radicals, RP will never get all that is asked for in one fell swoop, but I believe that he is clearly pointing the direction in which the US must move to save itself -- away from the power of the State (Feds) and back to the power over own lives.

He's not wrong. RP just forgets how hard it is to let go of the idea of security and stability, in an atmosphere of sheer terror.

I agree. I don’t much cotton to Paul but smearing him with the Stormfront thing....a fav freeper tactic...is dishonest.

not that Kristinn is known for that...he is anything but that but I don’t agree with him this one time

“To me, being pro-Israel is supporting Israel’s independence to defend herself, not the US Congress (or Arabist State Department) pulling her strings and making her sacrifice herself satisfy some Saudi prince.”

Exactly!

“I will grant you, Obama is Israel’s worst nightmare, just as he is America’s worst nightmare. But quit acting like Neocons are “Israel’s saviors”, because if they, as American politicians, don’t give a damn about US citizens, why in the heck do you think that they should care about Israelis? “

Good question. Any takers?

“He’s convinced that Malkin is part of the one world order cabal. “

This alone is not intelligent. If you want to do a “quickie” method for catching a “one world order” advocate, just look at who supports amnesty with chain migration.

I’m not yet convinced that all the kooks are wearing

KOOK HATS

with kook buttons and kook ties.

It would certainly be consistent with globalist strategies and methods to have some of our favorite conservatives be wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Having such folks turn and either subtly or not so subtly support globalism at a key critical juncture . . . could be devastating to a certain segment of the fuzzy headed thinking types of ‘conservatives.’

I hope and pray that Jones is wrong about Rush. I’m often shocked at the stupid things Hannity says though I love Hannity. And Bill O’Reilly—have been suspicious of him off and on for a long time though I respect a lot about him.

Thankfully, Jim has increasingly become aware, as I perceive him, that globalism/Marxism/Communism/socialism are all various sides of the same evil rock destroying all that’s decent, good and right about our Republic, our way of life, our planet.

Jones is an interesting bird. He certainly surfaces a lot of very true stuff about the ruling globalist oligarchy. Is his agenda purely patriotic? I hope so. God only knows.

The complex smoke and mirrors in our era is only going to get worse. It’s already a maze making a Gordian knot look like a slip knot.

Didn’t read every word of every paragraph.

However, I believe your post is overwhelmingly correct, accurate.

That depends on how accurate he is.

From studying it for more than 45 years, I find him enormously accurate.

Exactly what his agenda and motives are, I don’t know.

How truly patriotic he is, I don’t know.

I do know that regarding globalism and globalists, he’s quite accurate—I wouldn’t say 100% . . . who is. I certainly find him well above 70% accurate.

If folks doubt the general outline of globalism, let them read the quotes of our leaders since 1900 here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2130557/posts?page=81#81

Their treasonous guilt is in their own words.

They even speak praises of Mao and of the future need to spill blood in behalf of globalism.

Famous names we all know . . . many Republicans.

Seems to me that whoever came up with “neo-con”

for whatever reason . . .

the current state of the term is that . . . like “Republican,”

“patriotic”

“infanticide,” “abortion,” “choice,”

etc. etc. etc.

the globalist oligarchy controlled MSM have insured that “neo-con” either serves their purposes or has been so mangled and twisted as to have lost all usefulness as a sensible consistent term.
