Ghadaffi Still Missing

The lamestream media told you:

Rebels liberated Tripoli, the Arab Spring is advancing, four decades of dictatorship over, Ghadaffi location unknown...

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Aren't those AK-47s the Libyan rebels are waving all around? Where did they get those? Aren't those the guns the Mexican cartels use? Aren't those the guns the BATFE was smuggling into Mexico? Yes, yes, yes and yes.

How did the citizens, called rebels in the "news" media, instead of freedom fighters or some other less rebellious moniker, get so many AK-47s under one of the most brutal regimes known? Could Mexican cartels have the same suppliers? Shouldn't at least one reporter ask? And how come there are so few AR-15s floating around? Isn't it the better gun? Why do the former communist-bloc countries get all the business and American manufacturers don't?

In other news, some observers question whether "Arab Spring" is a proper name, instead of Arab Uprising, or Overthrow of Western-Supported Dictators, or Groundwork for a Global Caliphate. Some observers wondered who these constantly mentioned observers are. The "news" media could not be reached for comment. Who decided that Ghadaffi translated from Arabic has a silent "h" and two "f"s ?

No Nuclear News

The lamestream media told you:

Japan has three nuclear reactors in trouble due to the earthquake and tsunami. Japan has three nuclear reactors in trouble due to the earthquake and tsunami. Japan has four nuclear reactors in trouble due to the earthquake and tsunami. Japan has four nuclear reactors in trouble due to the earthquake and tsunami. All five nuclear reactors at the Japanese plant are in trouble due to the earthquake and tsunami. All five nuclear reactors at the Japanese plant are in trouble due to the earthquake and tsunami...

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Lamestream reports of the nuclear problem in Japan provided perhaps five minutes of news per hour of broadcast, making an ethical error they frequently make. With nothing new to report, they just kept on reporting. B-roll footage, those scenes rolled behind the talking heads and guest speakers, ran dozens of times per hour and sometimes more, because they had no other footage to show. That's known as not good reporting.

In the face of massive devastation, the majors flew their talking heads right into the scene, kept them fed and well dressed, and provided almost no new news. Despite a dire lack of any fresh information, the networks and cable providers virtually blacked-out any other news, of which planet Earth produces a fresh crop constantly. Geraldo Rivera breathlessly consumed two hours of air time at a time.

Government was once again proven to be the suppressor of news, as guest experts attempted to guess what was going on, and complained that "officials" were not cooperating, a fact that surprised no one.

We were treated to endless images of people in white bunny suits, holding what appeared to be Geiger counter sensors up to people, but never once actually saw the meter, heard the clicking, or got any information on whether radiation was detected or how much. Not one reporter on any channel The Uninvited Ombudsman monitored ventured forward to say, "What readings have you got?" which would have been hard news.

The accuracy of anything that comes out in the future about what actually happened will be met with skepticism, SOP. Industry insiders will get real reports, to prepare for the future, but the information is not expected to be reliably made public. Stock discussions of how a nuclear reactor works, which any grade-school child should have been taught, consumed endless hours as well, but at least had colorful cartoons showing the insides of a make-believe reactor.

Haitian Money Giveaway

The lamestream media told you:

President Obama has pledged $100 million in aid to tragedy-stricken Haiti.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Does a president have legitimate delegated power to give away $100 million in taxpayer money, even in the face of an unmitigated natural and human disaster? Reporters should tell us, but they didn't ask. They just took the president's pronouncement and heralded it, without any actual reporting, continuing their migration from watchdog to lapdog.

Who actually gets the money? Did Mr. Obama even think about that before spending our hard-earned cash? Reporters should tell us, but they didn't even think to ask. Is it going to actual people in the hopelessly corrupt Haitian government, a government more corrupt than even our own? It's certainly not going to be rained down on the impoverished Haitians themselves from helicopters, is it?

Is the money in fact going to U.S. firms, as foreign aid often does? Are U.S. companies, on hearing the announcement, sending their best lobbyists to the right places to line up for the "federal funds" (the public's hard-earned tax-collected money), so they can deliver produce, canned soup, water bottles and plumbing contractors? Reporters don't even know that's how it works, so they don't even think to ask.

Will we even get followup stories to tell us if our one hundred million frickin dollars have been spent, and where, and for what? Don't hold your breath.

Communist Chinese Machineguns

The lamestream media told you:

When president Obama was in China, he had meetings, saw the Great Wall, had a wonderful time, and the world is a wonderful place.

 The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

 President Obama was in communist China, a brutal dictatorship that suppresses religion, free thought, free speech and even the right to assemble.

 A close friend and neighbor who has just returned from communist China had a wonderful time visiting, but was more than nervous about being in a country where soldiers are everywhere, carrying machineguns to keep control. No machineguns were seen or mentioned in any of the coverage provided by the mob of U.S. "reporters" accompanying the president.

 It was not clear at press time whether the mob of U.S. "reporters" with Mr. Obama were banned from filming or mentioning the ever-present machinegun-armed soldiers by the communist Chinese autocrats. Skeptics say reporters did it on their own to present a rosy image of the dictatorship, to fit in with an unwritten narrative that America is awful and the communist Chinese dictatorship is wonderful and a desirable and refreshing change from the freedoms we still enjoy here. And if “reporters” had not suppressed the "news" the dictator's forces would have done it for them.

 In other news, entrepreneurs living in China were marketing "Oba Mao" t-shirts and buttons with Obama dressed as Chairman Mao. I am not making this up.




 

In still other news, my globe-trotting friend reports that construction in the Communist mainland is proceeding at breakneck speed, as the commies spend the billions of dollars flooding in, largely from U.S. WalMart stores. The construction crane is laughingly referred to as the national bird, where most of the world's cranes and most of the world's fresh concrete are now situated.

A quick check of WalMart merchandise shows that so much of it is "Made in China" (actually, "Made in the communist Chinese dictatorship") that it would not be inaccurate to think of the world's largest retailer as a mostly owned subsidiary of the communist Chinese ruling clique. Chinese workers working for slave wages however do provide goods for Americans at very low low sale prices every day.

Why U.S. reports refuse to use the word "communist dictatorship" in connection with the communist dictatorship is attributed to propaganda perpetrated by the lamestream media. Sarah Palin, after three years of instigation from the Uninvited Ombudsman, is using the phrase lamestream media, along with commentators on FOX news.

Drug Cartels Promoted

The lamestream media told you:

A purported top leader of Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel was in police custody, as authorities extended a cross-border crackdown on the gang that has included the arrest of 755 of its members in the U.S., according to the Associated Press.

"This significantly affects the organization's ability to operate and distribute drugs," said Ricardo Cabrera, who runs the terrorism and drug-trafficking unit in Mexico's federal attorney general's office.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

There was jubilation in border towns across Mexico, as a continuing wave of U.S-Mexican drug-policy arrests have provided new job and advancement opportunities for second tier workers and management in the lucrative international drug business. The industry is thriving despite the economic downturn, partially due to its historically low taxation.

"Some of these top leaders would stay in power forever, if not for the work of the federales and DEA," said one lieutenant, now a colonel in charge of customized smuggling vehicles, speaking through a translator on condition of anonymity. "The arrests provide upward mobility and opportunities for promotions we could not otherwise get against these bullies who run the cartels. Now it's our turn. Tell Mr. Cabrera, gracias."

In other news, drug prices and supplies remained stable on world markets, according to street reports. Calls for an end to the drug war, a cease fire or an armistice to reduce the war deaths, and dismantling the expensive ineffectual infrastructure for the war on some drugs fell on deaf ears, as usual. "Do you know how many government jobs would be lost if we ended this war?" asked one government worker who preferred to remain anonymous. Calls to the DEA for comment were not returned.

In other news, the mayors of ten Mexican towns were just rounded up as part of a drug-related corruption sting. http://tinyurl.com/p9dgy4 The mayors may have been part of a "silver or lead" scheme, where participants get rich on silver from the cartels, or have two pieces of lead forcibly inserted into their skulls. Seconds in command will take over until the next election cycle.

CNN Poll Nonsense

The lamestream media told you:

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, "By a 51%-to-49% margin, Americans say China is a 'military threat' to the U.S. 70% say China poses an 'economic threat,' while 30% say it does not."

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Confirming reports that reporters have no understanding of math, CNN has released a meaningless poll and used it to fill space where news is supposed to appear.

The American public's beliefs about communist China -- and especially its military capabilities or intentions -- are almost entirely a function of what the news media spoon-feeds them. Those beliefs have only a marginal relationship to what really occurs in world affairs, and is no rational basis for formulating opinions on the level of military threat the communist Chinese pose. Asking for such opinions is as meaningful as gathering fairy dust. Opinions expressed under such conditions are vapid nonsense, not worth the paper they are printed upon.

A researched report on the economic or military threats posed to us by the communists in China would have taken work, and did not run.

Olympic Deception Recap

The lamestream media told you:

Little.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

By now even closed-minded TV viewers know that the only reason they could see the Olympics at all was because the Chinese dictators shut down industry and vehicle traffic for weeks so the air was at least partially transparent.

What many couch potatoes have not recognized is that nearly everything they watched had already happened, the results were known, and the timing of the event they saw was completely artificial and managed.

NBC did a great job of hiding this primary fact by refusing to put "Live" and "Recorded" on any of the broadcasts. This made it seem more real, a cool deception that enhanced enjoyment at the expense of honesty.

Did you notice that the smoke cleared immediately after fireworks displays? That's because as soon as the flash ended production crews spent hours editing the recordings.

Did you notice that team scores advanced, like, a real lot, between commercials? That's because production crews edited out large chunks of the game so you didn't have to stay up late and watch the whole boring thing.

Did you wonder how so many thousands of people could "volunteer" their time for nine months to practice for the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies? That's because dictators can command the presence of anyone they choose, for as long as they choose, under any conditions they choose, and if you argue, you know you can be simply killed.

Did you wonder what it would be like to face an army of those one-size-fits-all nattily dressed synchronized people? That concept wasn't lost on the dictators strutting around on the "world stage" created by the media. The communist dictators fielded more "entertainers" than machine guns have belts.

Did you notice they were all good looking? That's because unattractive ones were weeded out of the "volunteer" corps and sent home.

Did you notice how the entire staging of the ceremonial events deemphasized the role of individuals, and how the main thing that mattered was the coordinated effort of the collective whole? That communist principle was at the heart of the design.

Do you think any free society could even come close to matching the scope or spectacle the dictators were able to muster? Could a free society even mount the will and financial resources to assemble, house, clothe, feed and control that many people for that long?

Communist Knife Crackdown

The lamestream media told you:

A team of Chinese and Tibetan mountain climbers proudly displayed a special Olympic torch atop Mt. Everest, in a promotional effort to boost the legitimacy of the games. The actual torch is being carried through every province in China, scheduled to reach Beijing two days before the start of the games.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Communist Red China announced on May 6 that knife owners must be registered when they buy "potentially deadly knives," according to the Xinhua communist state news agency and relayed by Reuters, to help protect the safety of the games in the world's largest communist dictatorship: http://www.mps.gov.cn.

Some observers believe that staged elections in the one-party state mean it is not a dictatorship. Reuters calls officials there "Communist rulers."

Among the knives that require citizens to be government listed are those with undefined "blood grooves," those with blades exceeding eight inches, and lock knives, presumably the type that any average American citizen might have in a pocket.

According to Reuters, "China, whose Communist rulers value stability above all else, has come down hard on anyone they fear could upset the Games, from people protesting against the demolition of their houses for venues, to the country's sometimes restless ethnic minorities."

Though the worthless fluff of the alternate-torch-on-a-cold-high-mountain news was widely carried, news of the knife crackdown fell into a hole.

Olympic Shooting Champion

The lamestream media told you:

Unruly demonstrators attacked the Olympic torch relay in this city, and in that city, and enroute to a ship, and it had to detour, and be hidden from view, and blah blah blah diplomats are upset.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Three-time Olympic athlete Lones W. Wigger, now 70, has been officially inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. Mr. Wigger competed in 1964 in Tokyo, 1968 in Mexico, and 1972 in Munich, where he took two gold medals and one silver medal in -- rifle shooting. The induction ceremony is set for June 19 in Chicago.

In a 25-year career, he won 13 gold medals and five silvers at the Pan American games, and 111 medals in total while setting 29 world records in international competition. His achievements are a great honor for America, the Olympics, the shooting sports in general, and are more newsworthy than a media circus over a torch. The lamestream media didn’t get the memo.

French Turnaround Possible

The lamestream media told you:
"Nicolas Sarkozy, a blunt and uncompromising pro-American conservative was elected president of France on Sunday," the AP reports on page ones across the country.

"There were few reports of unrest, despite fears that the impoverished suburban housing projects, home to African and Arab immigrants and their French-born children would erupt again," in a repeat of 2005 rioting. The AP questions whether Sarkozy can "unite the increasingly diverse and polarized nation."

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Nicolas Sarkozy, a forthright and uncompromising pro-freedom politician was elected president of France on Sunday, despite smears and editorializing in lamestream "news" reports. He defeated a make-nice appeasement-bent socialist female for the position.

Growing enclaves of Muslim separatists, operating under their own sharia law in French suburbs, have resisted all efforts to assimilate into French society, which they consider un-Islamic and unclean.

Referred to as "youths" in French media, the jihad agents and sympathizers continue to take advantage of the French welfare state, collecting "free" money from overtaxed Frenchmen, and executing any of their members who show even slight signs of affinity for French culture. Police are unable and unwilling to attempt entry into the violent, illegally fortified Muslim housing projects that used to serve as government homes for imported laborers.

Experts note that these people, called "scum" by Sarkozy, are spreading their umma, or worldwide Muslim coalition, bent on establishing a caliphate on the Continent as they had in the 700 A.D. era. The non-Muslim French are known as kaffir, a term applied to all non-believers, whose purpose under sharia law is to be converted, enslaved or put to death.

Although a caliphate is the expressed goal of the Muslim immigrants, French and U.S. "news" outlets refuse to call a spade a spade, preferring euphemisms like downtrodden immigrant, youth, and impoverished disenfranchised Africans and Arabs.

By some estimates, the high-birth rate Muslims, facing low birth-rate French, are within two generations of taking over the country and moving it backwards to a middle-ages Islamic foothold in the heart of Western civilization.
