FCC Cites Soros-Funded, Neo-Marxist-Founded Group 46 TIMES In New Regs
Daily Caller ^ | 3/12/15 | Chucj Riss

Posted on 03/12/2015 6:00:05 PM PDT by Nachum

New internet regulations finally released by the Federal Communications Commission make 46 references to a group funded by billionaire George Soros and co-founded by a neo-Marxist.

The FCC released the 400-page document on Thursday, two weeks after it passed new regulations, which many fear will turn the internet into a public commodity and thereby stifle innovation.

“Leveling the playing field” in that way has been a clear goal of Free Press, a group dedicated to net neutrality which was founded in 2003.

As Phil Kerpen, president of the free-market group American Commitment, first noted, Free Press is mentioned repeatedly in the FCC document. Most of the references are found in footnotes which cite comments by Free Press activists supporting more internet regulation.

The term “Free Press” is mentioned 62 times in the regulations. Some are redundant mentions referring to the same Free Press activists’ comments in favor of more oversight. In total, the FCC cited Free Press’ pro-net neutrality arguments 46 times.

Cash paid for those gift cards?

There WERE tens of millions cycled into Obola’s campaign funds by “under 500.00” VISA donations that did NOT need signatures nor card verification as they were “donated” to the on-line servers. Overseas donations were suspected, byut these cards would be another source.

You ask who is Robert McChesney, I learned about him years ago-2004 or 2005. I found the program for Radfest 2004. It was an organizing event for SOCIALISTS. I am looking for the program-but here is the announcement for it. PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY THE HAVENS CENTER UW-Madison presents RADFEST 2004 MIDWEST SOCIAL FORUM Lake Geneva Campus of Aurora University Williams Bay, WI June 4-6, 2004 www.havenscenter.org Dear friend: I would like to invite you to RadFest 2004, an annual weekend conference for progressive activists and academics organized by the A. E. Havens Center for the Study of Social Structure and Social Change at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Also known as the Midwest Social Forum, the central goal of the conference is to provide an opportunity for progressive activists, organizers, and intellectuals to come together to discuss issues, strengthen networks, and devise strategies for progressive social, economic, and political change. The conference has grown significantly in recent years, becoming an important annual gathering for progressives. Last year, for example, approximately 425 people from throughout the upper Midwest and beyond attended. This year, our program has expanded considerably and we expect an even larger turnout. The conference will take place on the weekend of June 4-6, 2004 at the Lake Geneva Campus of Aurora University “ 240 acres of rolling, wooded hillside located on the shores of Lake Geneva in Williams Bay, WI, about 50 miles southwest of Milwaukee, 70 miles southeast of Madison, and 80 miles northwest of Chicago.

On Saturday evening, there will be a second plenary panel, titled Progressive Strategy in 2004, and Beyond. The panelists will include Medea Benjamin (Global Exchange), Elizabeth Marti­nez (Institute for Multi-Racial Justice), Jamala Rogers (Black Radical Congress), and a fourth panelist yet to be determined. The remainder of the program will be primarily devoted to nearly fifty workshops and panels addressing a wide array of social, political, and economic topics on Saturday and Sunday, including: Ending Corpocracy: Getting Corporations out of Politics(with Charlie Derber, Ed Garvey, and Mike McCabe); Media, Democracy, Education, Reform, and the World (with Bob McCannon and Bob McChesney); Post-invasion Iraq and the Movement to End the Occupation (with Medea Benjamin, George Martin, Matt Rothschild, and Allen Ruff); Fifty Years after˜Brown v.

From the article linked/excerpted “But internet regulation appears to be only part of McChesney’s more radical agenda of completely revamping how the media operate in the U.S.

“In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick by brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles,” McChesney wrote in a 2009 essay.

“Only government can implement policies and subsidies to provide an institutional framework for quality journalism,” he said.

“The news is not a commercial product. It is a public good, necessary for a self-governing society. Once we accept this, we can talk about the kind of media policies and subsidies we want,” McChesney once argued.”

The SOCIALISTS planned this and ORGANIZED to make it happen.
If you read the Radfest Program from 2004 and compare it to where we are today you can witness their “success.” They fought to “gain access to the Media.” Check that, how’s the Media now compared to the Free Press of the past?

How about, “Putting Palestine on the agenda of the PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT” -Were the SOCIALISTS successful with that agenda item? I would say they were.

I hope a sharp-shooter, the likes of the late Chris Kyle, is hired to pick off Soros. Don't know why someone hasn't tried to do the very same.
