Emerging global elite to use new global media to educate 'global citizens'
Elite members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland, recently considered a proposal for a new global television network to usher in a state of “global governance.” The concept strikes some as authoritarian, even totalitarian. But the parent company of Fox News was one of the sponsors of this year's gathering. The media proposal, which was included in “The Global Agenda 2009” report, is to create “a new global network” with “the capacity to connect the world, bridging cultures and peoples, and telling us who we are and what we mean to each other.” Several prominent U.S. media figures signed on to the alarming and controversial proposal. Isn’t it nice that we might have a TV network telling us “who we are?” http://www.aim.org/
And “what we mean to each other?” Perhaps we will learn that we are global citizens. Perhaps a global leader of some sort will tell us that. Who might that be? This proposal doesn’t come from a fringe organization. The WEF is an exclusive club of very rich and powerful people from around the world. It describes itself as “an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas.” This year’s conference featured speeches by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Chinese Premier We Jiabao. Many U.S. corporations, including some getting Wall Street bailout money, were sponsors. News Corporation, the parent of Fox News, was a “strategic partner” of the event. Valerie Jarrett, Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Liaison, represented the Obama Administration at this year’s event and called leaders from all nations to “seize gladly” the duties of collaborating and boldly embrace “a new era of global financial responsibility.” But the WEF also envisions cooperation and collaboration in global media ventures. It asks, “How can we save journalism to help it save the world?” Clearly, this is advocacy journalism on a global scale. Indeed, the list of “Recommendations” says it is imperative to start “Communicating a global agenda, and motivating and mobilizing people to support it…” Is this journalism? Or is it brainwashing and propaganda? http://www.mediaforfreedom.com/
It says that “a genuine, global voice” is needed that shares a “fundamental commitment” to being an international media voice, and makes mention of “the media voices we think of as international” coming from London (the BBC), Qatar (Al-Jazeera) or Atlanta (CNN). BBC is known for its anti-American programming, Al-Jazeera for its pro-terrorist slant, and CNN for its left-wing and pro-Democratic bias. It will take “innovative public-private funding” to bring this new network into being, apparently meaning that the taxpayers in the U.S. will have to be soaked in order to help bring this about. But no price tag is put on the venture and no objection was apparently raised to government funding of such a network on a global basis. An “overview” statement does, however, decry “censorship and self-censorship.” global-television-for-our-future-global-leader/
Elsewhere in the report (page 31) the idea of “international taxation” is proposed for “global action” of various kinds. Perhaps this is a vehicle for raising revenue for the new “global voice.” The media proposal was developed by one of several “Global Agenda Councils” under the auspices of the WEF. The new TV network proposal was issued under the supervision of Pat Mitchell, the president of the Paley Center for Media and former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Public Broadcasting Service. She was the chair of the Global Agenda Council on the Future of Media. Other members of the Council on the Future of Media were Betsy Morgan of the left-wing Huffington Post (former general manager of CBS News.com); Rui Chenggang of China Central Television, an official political propaganda arm of the communist regime; and Zafar Siddiqi of CNBC Arabiya, a subsidiary of General Electric which is described as a 24-hour Arabic language financial and business information channel. There is no indication in the published report that the Huffington Post executive raised any objection to working hand-in-glove with the communist propaganda channel. Is the Chinese media model a precedent for the new “global network?”
The conference was covered by media organizations such as CNBC, CNN, Bloomberg, Forbes and Fox, but no coverage that we could find was devoted to the proposal for a government-financed global media network. Talk about self-censorship! John J. DeGioia, President of Georgetown University and the “Rapporteur of the
Global Agenda Councils focusing on Society and Values,” summarized the work
of Mitchell’s panel. He says (page 46) that, “We believe that this new moment
also calls for a new media platform, across all media channels, a global non-profit
‘CNN’ providing a new form of independent journalism to inform, illuminate and
deepen knowledge about issues that improve the state of the world.” According
to DeGioia’s biography, he walks the walk and is dedicated to helping “prepare
young people for leadership roles in the global community.” His bio adds, “He
is a member of the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO and Chair of its Education
Committee and he represents Georgetown at the World Economic Forum and on the
Council on Foreign Relations.” The media council took advantage of what a description
of its work said was an “enormous opportunity” to “redefine the media and its
roles in a global, interconnected society.” Under the title of “Recommendations”
(page 182), the Council on the Future of Media declares
that Members of the ‘Council on the Future of Media’
“The Council is championing
a new global, independent news and information service whose role is to inform,
educate and improve the state of the world?one that would take advantage of
all platforms of content delivery from mobile to satellite and online to create
a new global network.” It goes on, “In a world where there are calls for global
governance as a response to a global financial crisis, where scientific research,
capital flows and production chains are globalized, the media and the communities
in which we imagine ourselves remain fiercely localized.” Hence, a global network
will work against “localized” or national-based systems and convince people
to go “global” with their outlook and solutions.
In other words, the new network
will help undermine old-fashioned notions of national sovereignty and patriotism.
There are 22 members (page 183) of the Council on the Future
of Media. In addition to Mitchell and Morgan, American members include:
Alex S. Jones, former media reporter for the New York Times and now Director,
Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, John F. Kennedy
School of Government, Harvard University. Susan King, former Washington correspondent
for ABC News and now Director, Journalism Initiative, Special Initiatives and
Strategy, Carnegie Corporation of New York. John Lavine, Dean, Medill School
of Journalism Northwestern University. Nicholas Lemann, former Washington Post
reporter and now Dean, School of Journalism, Columbia University. David Nordfors,
Director, Innovation Journalism and Senior Research Scholar, Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning, Stanford University. Monroe Price, Director, Centre for Global Communications Studies, Annenberg School for Communication, the University of Pennsylvania. Orville H. Schell, Director, Center on US-China Relations, Asia Society. There doesn’t appear to be one identifiable conservative member on the list.
Of course, everyone on the list is a certified objective media proessional, neither liberal nor conservative. Just ask them.

Keyes: Stop Obama or U.S. will cease to exist
Alan Keyes, a three-time presidential candidate, called President Obama a radical communist and a usurper and said with him in charge, America is going to cease to exist at a pro-life fundraiser Thursday. www.prisonplanet.com
The German Philosopher Johann Von Goethe, once said, there are none more hopelessly enslaved, than those who falsely believe they are free. Every person in the civilized world is enslaved from childhood in a prison without walls or bars few realize
The legal definition of free is not subject to the legal constraint of another. A free man is self governing. A slave follows rules and regulations.
Israel concludes Obama has agreed to Iran nukes 
TEL AVIV — Israel is preparing
for a compromise agreement by Western powers that would approve Iran's uranium enrichment program.
Officials and analysts said the European Union and United States were moving toward an offer that would enable Teheran to continue to enrich uranium. They said the proposal was expected to be submitted to Iran over the next few months.
"I heard, unenthusiastically, the Americans' statement that they will defend their allies in the event that Iran arms itself with an atomic bomb, as if they have already reconciled with this possibility, and this is a mistake," Dan Meridor, an Israeli Cabinet minister responsible for the intelligence community, said. "We don't need to deal now with the assumption that Iran will attain nuclear weapons, rather prevent this."
On July 21, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States would offer defense guarantees to its allies should Teheran assemble nuclear weapons.
"We want Iran to calculate what I think is a fair assessment: that if the United States extends a defense umbrella over the region, if we do even more to develop the military capacity of those [allies] in the Gulf, it is unlikely that Iran will be any stronger or safer," Ms. Clinton said.
"We have been receiving signals that Washington will support a compromise that will allow Iran to enrich uranium under international supervision," an official said. Israeli officials and analysts viewed Ms. Clinton's statement as a signal that the United States would tolerate an Iranian nuclear weapons arsenal. They said the Obama administration was resigned to the likelihood that Iran has already completed the nuclear fuel cycle, developed a nuclear warhead and could assemble an atomic bomb within weeks. Leading Israeli analysts agreed that
Obama has virtually eliminated a U.S. military option against Iran. Instead, the White House was preparing to offer a compromise that would grant approval to Iran's uranium enrichment program, banned by the United Nations Security Council. "Both the United States and the European Union are coming to the conclusion that Iran will turn nuclear in any case, so there is a need for a compromise,"
Ephraim Kam, a senior fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies, said. Officials said the prospect of a Western compromise offer to Iran would mark a leading subject in discussions with a visiting U.S. defense delegation. On July 29, a U.S. delegation, including National Security Advisor James Jones, presidential adviser Dennis Ross as well as senior members of the
U.S. intelligence community, was scheduled to arrive in Israel in an effort to resume a strategic dialogue regarding Iran. "Understand that a nuclear-armed Iran could provide a nuclear umbrella to terrorists, and it could possibly provide nuclear weapons to terrorists,"
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told American Jewish leaders in a conference call on July 21. "I think for the sake of the peace of the world and the security of my own country and that of the United States, this must not be allowed to happen."
