DNC coordinated with activists to 'infiltrate' talk radio

The Democratic party developed an elaborate, multi-year operation in the 1990s that deployed thousands of activists to covertly mold public opinion using talk radio, according to documents from the Clinton Presidential Library.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC), with the blessing of the Clinton White House, launched the Talk Radio Initiative (TRI) ahead of the 1996 campaign. The program trained thousands of operatives to call in to radio shows, conduct surveillance of their contents, and secretly disseminate Democratic talking points while posing as ordinary listeners.

"Volunteers must be able to keep the project confidential so as not to create the image of a ‘Democratic conspiracy' to infiltrate Detroit area talk radio shows," a 1995 TRI guide prepared by Michigan Democrats said. "Democratic performance in the 1996 elections will no doubt be affected by the success or failure of this initiative."

Read the “Silent Coup” by Leon Colodny.

Too many of the posters on this forum are actually democrat, trade unionist, socialist, Russian, Chinese, Iranian and North Korean plants. Don’t expect for a moment that just because someone claims to be a Conservative they are a Conservative. They have been sent here to spread disinformation and pessimism.

Stick to the “high road”. The ol’ Moral High Ground.

Where we’ve stuck for decades. And every time, ended up in easily isolated positions that were surrounded and defeated in detail.

The Moral Purist Conservatives. Those that couldn’t even conserve the little girls restroom from males LARPing as females so they could legally follow the little girls in and ogle them.

Hey, Freedom of Speech. Of course teachers can indoctrinate our kids in all manner of perversion and communism.

we knew they were doing this... seminar callers always stupidly prefaced their calls with ‘I’m a Republican, but...’ and then proceeded to try to inject some idiotic liberal talking point.

[piasa]

bribing... any evidence for bribery or are you just using hyperbole from the Democrat side of your nerve nugget?

[unlearner]

“Maybe RNC should start doing this”

Are there any liberal radio talk shows that take calls?

I’ve never heard of any.

[momincombatboots]

Missed that. Interesting. Are these the folks on FR who supported the bumpstock ba, voiced support for red flag rules... and won’t even ask what is in the gun *control* bill Pence said the administration has in Congress.
I suspected we are overrun with them here too.
I have to say, it’s working. Only a handful of people on FR want to know also.

[Malsua]

The left always projects on the right what they themselves do. Remember Hillary’s “Vast Rightwing Conspiracy”. She thought of it because she started a “Vast Leftwing Conspiracy”.

[itsahoot]

We are better than they are and we need to stick to the high road!

We can be better losers then? Got it.

[otness_e]

Well, there is NPR, and I think there’s a left-wing radio talk show in Minnesota due to hearing it once when I was younger. Not sure about anything else, though.

"We CAN win by being honest fair!"

I believe the old adage "Good guys finish last" has merit.. If we're not willing to do what's necessary to win the war, and it IS a war, well, I guess we just have get use to losing... :(

Eerily familiar...

 

 

Party ownership of the print media
made it easy to manipulate public opinion,
and the film and radio carried the process further.

 

16. Ministry Of Truth

.......

The Ministry of Truth, Winston's place of work, contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below.

The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with Lies. Party ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further.

The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels - with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary.

Winston worked in the RECORDS DEPARTMENT (a single branch of the Ministry of Truth) editing and writing for The Times. He dictated into a machine called a speakwrite. Winston would receive articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, in Newspeak, rectify. If, for example, the Ministry of Plenty forecast a surplus, and in reality the result was grossly less, Winston's job was to change previous versions so the old version would agree with the new one. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs - to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance.

When his day's work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. He dialed 'back numbers' on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes' delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to rectify.

In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages; to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and on the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.

As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames.

What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the tubes led, he did not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead.

In the cubicle next to him the little woman with sandy hair toiled day in day out, simply at tracking down and deleting from the Press the names of people who had been vaporized and were therefore considered never to have existed. And this hall, with its fifty workers or thereabouts, was only one-sub-section, a single cell, as it were, in the huge complexity of the Records Department. Beyond, above, below, were other swarms of workers engaged in an unimaginable multitude of jobs.

There were huge printing-shops and their sub editors, their typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs. There was the tele-programmes section with its engineers, its producers and its teams of actors specially chosen for their skill in imitating voices; clerks whose job was simply to draw up lists of books and periodicals which were due for recall; vast repositories where the corrected documents were stored; and the hidden furnaces where the original copies were destroyed.

And somewhere or other, quite anonymous, there were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down the lines of policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence.

You guys have been around FR for long time. Since when has there been a fierce advocacy for adopting terrorist tactics against our enemies, as the LIEberals have done to us?

We won in 2016, legally!

We lost in 2018 through LIEberal Democrat chicanery, and the whole world knows it!

We’ll win in 2020 legally!

All we have to do is stay on the high road, follow the election laws, use the Rule of Law against them, and WE WIN!

We KNOW the LIEberals are going to LIE, CHEAT and STEAL during the 2020 election cycle. Since we know they are going to do that, all we have to do is catch them, expose their illegal behavior, and prosecute the law-breakers.

The LIEberal “By any Means Necessay” mantra is well known, and having been alerted to their intent, we should be able to nip it in the bud.

We DO NOT want or need to be caught doing what they are doing! We need to stay on the high road!

[Taxman]

Are there any LIEberal talk shows?

I think Rush, Hannity, Levin and Savage are pretty well tuned in to what Rush calls “seminar” callers, and are able to beat them up on the air.

I don’t listen to any other talk shows. Got other stuff to do!

I fail to understand how ANY LIEberal seminar caller would be able to sway a conservative to become a LIEberal. EVERY one I have ever heard on radio or TV is bat-shit crazy, and is not persuasive!

[Taxman]

POTUS has the intestinal fortitude to call out LIEberals!

I don’t think President Trump is going to roll over for the LIEBerals like our previous “conservative” leaders have done!

HE FIGHTS!

President Trump is our General Patton! He read their book!

Standby! Fights on!

[Grimmy]

HE FIGHTS!

****

Damn right!

Now, if we can just get him some congress critters besides the very very few that we have now that’ll stand up and hold fast, we can get him some real help.

But please Lord! No more of this Polite Conservative congenital loser stuff. That’s how we got so deep in the deep state hole to begin with.

"Since we know they are going to do that, all we have to do is catch them, expose their illegal behavior, and prosecute the law-breakers."
We lost in 2018 through LIEberal Democrat chicanery, and the whole world knows it!

I sure hate to be the "pessimistic weasel" of the bunch but who is it exactly that we get to do all this prosecuting and exposing and such.??
You said yourself that you know there was election cheating during the 2018 cycle.. Was anyone prosecuted.? I never heard of anyone being prosecuted...

Besides... What good is the "high ground" if your not willing to defend it.? And as far as "Use the Rule of Law against them" goes, I think the rule of law left town a good while ago..... :(

[Taxman]

I reckon we’ll just have to be patient - the spotlight of truth is beginning to shine ever more brightly on the LIEberal chicanery, and I remain optimistic that Truth, Justice and the American (that is to say, Law Abiding) Way will prevail.

[Taxman]

It is up to We the People to send CongressCritters to WDC to support President Trump!

We MUST prevail!

Remember, and please get the word out to everyone you know that:

DEMOCRATS ARE ANTI-AMERICAN!

AND

A VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRAT, AT ANY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT, IS A VOTE AGAINST AMERICA!

If you think how technology has become so entwined in our lives since 1984 was written in 1948, this story becomes real life.

[Elsie]

Indeed it has!

But; the wise Solomon once wrote:

Ecclesiastes 10:20 NIV

Do not revile the king even in your thoughts,
or curse the rich in your bedroom,
because a bird in the sky may carry your words,
and a bird on the wing may report what you say.
