Armed Jews Have A New Leader

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership -- which bills itself as the most aggressive gun-rights organization in America -- has a new Executive Director, Mr. Charles Heller of Tucson. Charles is a firearms instructor, radio talk-show host, and a founder and board member of the Arizona Citizens Defense League, one of the nation's leading gun-rights groups.

Aaron Zelman (1946 - 2010), a dedicated and tireless civil-rights advocate, founded Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership in 1986. For 24 years, Aaron guided the organization to a position of prominence and respect within the firearms and larger human-rights communities. He also earned the enmity of groups pressing for civilian disarmament, such as the Brady Campaign to Promote Gun Violence, the Violence Policy Center, the Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the federal Centers for Disease Control, the United Nations, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and groups less demanding than JPFO in the defense of gun rights. JPFO's three main goals are:

--Destroy so-called “gun control” (code words for disarming innocent people).

--Expose the misguided notions that lead people to seek out so-called “gun control.”

--Encourage Americans to understand and defend all of the Bill of Rights for all citizens. The Second Amendment is the “Guardian” of the Bill of Rights.

The group has produced nationally acclaimed and award-winning books, videos and documentaries, including the highly controversial No Guns For Negroes, No Guns For Jews, Dial 911 and Die,  Innocents Betrayed (concerning genocide of disarmed populations) and more. With Aaron's passing on Dec. 21, 2010, JPFO's board of directors, along with an inner circle of close colleagues, proceeded to ensure JPFO's continuing struggle to protect freedom, and the right of all people to keep and bear arms. The search for a new director was completed and officially announced last week.

JPFO's new Executive Director
Meet Charles Heller:


I grew up in Chicago, the son of a law-enforcement officer and grandson of a judge. I knew what certiorari was before I knew of the infield-fly rule. I had a BB-gun rifle range in the basement of my grandfather's house, and fired thousands of shots before my teen years. Our scout troop met at Kesser Mariv Synagogue, and I was Bar Mitzvah at B'nai Jacob.

In 1978 I moved to Arizona, specifically for the right to keep and bear arms, when Chicago would no longer accept a gun registration. I am literally a political refugee.

I am one of four co-founders of the Arizona Citizens Defense League, the primary self-defense civil-rights lobby in Arizona. We are responsible for the passage of Constitutional Carry here, the right to carry openly or concealed without a permission slip from government, and numerous other cutting-edge gun laws that protect and expand the G-d given right to keep and bear arms.

I am the host of Swap Shop, Liberty Watch, and America Armed & Free radio programs on KVOI in Tucson, and have been on the air for 13 years.

13 years is a good omen -- 13 original American colonies, 13 stars in our original flag, a Jew becomes a man in the faith, "Bar Mitzvah," at 13 years of age. Go get 'em Charles!

Visit JPFO and show them your support, get on their free alerts list (nothing else like it!) http://jpfo.org, buy a video and see something you will NOT see on broadcast TV. Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership in definitely one-of-a-kind -- Good luck Charles (a close personal friend I can recommend wholeheartedly) in steering this amazing group thorugh its next phase!

NPR Spin Incontrovertible

The lamestream media told you:

"Embarrassed by video, NPR fears funding cuts: After a conservative activist released a video of a top National Public radio fundraiser maligning "tea party" activists and the republican party, station managers are bracing for the worst," according to the Washington Post. The fundraiser Ron Schiller did not know he was being recorded.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

With the bias at National Public Radio and its parent corporation now blatantly exposed, the Washington Post persists in its non-stop efforts to spin truth to its own taste.

According to the Post: "Conservatives have long targeted federal support for public media, accusing NPR and PBS of having a liberal bent."

The truth is: "Conservatives have long targeted federal support for public media, because NPR and PBS have a liberal bent." The bias is incontrovertible. Anyone "accusing" NPR of being a right-wing stooge, well no one does because it's simply not so. The left-wing slant of the station is present in every fiber of the broadcasts, and is only denied or soft-peddled by its stooges in the lamestream media.

Schiller's comments were only unusual in that they were caught on tape, while he spoke frankly, unaware he was being recorded. Observers have known for years that NPR thinks and acts this way as a group. Also unusual, and reported by the Post but plainly visible in the video, the $5 million in funding Schiller believed he was seeking was from a Muslim Brotherhood front group, described in the set up for the truth sting.

NewsBull Continues Unabated

The lamestream media told you:

Lies.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

News coverage of government activity has gotten so bad I'm finding it hard to go over it item by item like I usually do.

The contents of the latest pork giveaway bill are swept under the lamestream rug, and the bill number isn't even mentioned so you could go look for yourself. The web is flooded with solid analysis, but the TV blares only the latest government announcement about how the president urges everyone to get in line. OK, OK, some stations, out of character, did mention that some of the "tax cuts" are really tax handouts to people who didn't pay taxes. No calls for impeachment were made.

The appointment of a treasury secretary happened so fast you could barely comment, and you would -- since the man selected helped orchestrate the current problem, his financial benefit from the disaster is unexamined, and his refusal to pay his taxes would have landed you (but not him) in jail. Congress, in an ultimate act of blatant corruption, put him in charge of your tax dollars. What do you say about that except, "Where's my pitchfork?"

The "government money" CNN keeps talking about is a lie. Government has no money -- aside from being beyond flat broke. That's MY money and YOUR money they're talking about. When CNN says "government bailout dollars," know full well it's YOUR dollars, confiscated before you even get them by "withholding taxes" (what a clever idea!!). They confiscate more than you owe, so they can make you feel good when you get back the excess they took from you (and earned interest on at your expense). The media treats it as if it's a perfectly fine plan.

Socialists Endorse Obama

The lamestream media told you:

Francoise Hollande, the head of France's Socialist Party, has endorsed Barack Obama for U.S. president, and promised "to work for the senator's victory," in the words of the Associated Press in an unbylined article.

The article goes on to say, "but he (Hollande) acknowledged that the French Socialists' endorsement could end up tarnishing Obama's image in the eyes of the American electorate, given the way some voters regard socialism."

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The AP has once again reported on an event without identifying who is speaking. The words quoted above are the AP's, probably a paraphrase or summary of Hollande's actual words, not provided in the story. The accuracy of such pseudo quotes is anyone's guess, darkened by AP's failure to identify the writer who framed the remarks. Newspaper editors nationwide ran the piece anyway.

Most disturbing is the editorial comment at the end, concerning, "the way some voters regard socialism." Whether this is Hollande speaking, or even worse, the AP itself, it is a reprehensible distortion of reality that portrays socialism in an almost neutral light.

Socialism is an avowed arch enemy of the American way and personal freedom, not dependent on how "some voters" view it. It detests capitalism, profit and free markets, the very strengths that have made America great, and which have led more people out of abject poverty than any other system in the world. The socialist system disparages any sense of private property, a linchpin of American economic principles and historical success.

Socialism is a politically designed rather than naturally evolved system, dependent on a dictatorial ruling class, state ownership of property, and the subjugation of individual people for the benefit of "the masses," or the "collective," as defined and managed by the rulers. Modern attempts at imposing socialism routinely end in utter failure, with the collapse of the Soviet Union a prime example and the debacle of Castro's Cuba close behind.

"Some voters" and most of the awake world recognize socialism for what it is, a way to defeat individual liberty, freedom, and turn "the working class" into a political tool for elite leaders with a death grip on power.

The AP should be ashamed of itself for the shoddy deceptive anti-freedom reporting. No correction has been made or is expected.

Cool Obama Deception

The lamestream media told you:

Barack Obama's highly publicized trip to the Middle East was for diplomatic purposes and was not a political maneuver, according to highly placed sources within his campaign for the presidency.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The "news" media, in a shocking display of partisanship, had the unmitigated brazen gall to promote, care of highly placed unnamed sources from the very person they're covering, that a completely political effort was not political in nature. This helps disguise the overtly biased support the media is providing to their favored candidate, they think. Although the announcement violated every tenet of journalism ethics, no reprimands or dismissals have been announced.

In other news, all three failing TV networks have sent their anchors along with Barack bin Obama on the trip. No such coverage was lavished on Obama's opponent, Sen. John McCain, on his many trips to the war zone and the Middle East. More than 200 reporters joined the junket, providing overwhelming evidence of the political nature of the junket, despite "news" reports denying the obvious. Ratings and circulation for the lamestream media continue to plummet, for reasons that were unclear to the media at press time.

The hypocrisy of the effort was not lost on T-shirt makers, who have cranked out hysterical Obama World Tour and ObamaMania rags with pictures of the network execs fawning at the African American's feet.

Study Attacks Newspapers

The lamestream media told you:

"Newspapers faulted for errors, dramatizing"

"To regain public trust, newspapers need to do a better job of editing out misspellings and misquotes, curb the use of unnamed sources, and resist the temptation to sensationalize, a study suggests," reports Deb Reichmann of the AP.

The American Society of Newspaper Editors released its study on why newspaper credibility is on the decline. "We've got to cut down on the errors," ASNE president Ed Seaton said. The study is part of a three-year project to find out why the public has lost confidence in newspapers.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

"It ain't about spelling errors," says one unidentifiable newsman. "And what's a 'misquote'? Is that where someone says something, and the paper says something different?"

The report, uncovered in a deep stack of clippings at the Uninvited Ombudsman's office, is from Dec., 1998. Hmmm.

White House Follies

The lamestream media told you:

Hillary won this, Barack (Hussein) Obama won that, McCain won it all and now that the hard news portion is complete, yada yada blah blah fooey. Calling Hillary a "monster" gets you fired. Using Obama's middle name, "Hussein," gets you threats and rebuke.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

If you listen closely, "news" reports about the upcoming presidential election contain virtually no news. Instead, numerous random "experts," attractive, well dressed and sporting heavy makeup, express opinions on why something is so, what something "means" and what the future will hold. The entire first half of the formerly informative O'Reilly Factor has recently had little more than opinion spouting, for reasons that are unclear.

No human knows what the future will hold, but "news" organizations have been making predictions with no disclaimers, instead airing editorial comment and personally held opinions in places where the news is supposed to go.

Playing the game my then seven-year-old daughter invented with me, "You don't know that," the Uninvited Ombudsman finds he can say, "You don't know that," better than three times a minute during peak "news" hours. Try it, it's fun. Every time you hear something that can't possibly be known, talk to the TV or radio and say, "You don't know that!"

Missing from reporters' reports are any questions about candidate positions on gun rights (a mere ten percent of the Bill of Rights), justification of the proposed unfairness doctrine that would put federal bureaucrats in charge of content on talk radio (but not TV or newspapers), any possible constitutional authority for all the candidate promises (like redistributing taxpayer funds to groups that "need" it), legitimate delegated power to run the nation's medical system or operate any sort of insurance plan (a useful Ponzi scheme that collects massive amounts of money and gives a small portion to some people based on preset "rules," which has made insurers among the richest outfits on the planet)... I can't go on, it's beyond disgusting.

Stay tuned tonight to hear what Dick, Arianna, Ann, George, James and others, including many newbies, think. The Uninvited Ombudsman has not been invited to join them, but would jump at the chance, because it's so cool to be on TV.

Natalee Holloway Again

The lamestream media told you:

New evidence has re-opened the Natalee Holloway case, the Alabama teen who disappeared three years ago during a high school graduation vacation in Aruba. The usual suspects, players, locations, fact-free details, blah blah blah and more after these messages.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

At last count, FBI figures indicated there are at least 51,000 active missing-person cases open in the United States. The public doesn't know this because it is concealed by "news" media that only has room for one missing teenager from 2005.

By failing to cover real cases and focusing incessantly on a single, old, overworked, overseas, sensational, mysterious, unsolved case of an attractive blonde teenaged white girl, the media deceives the public about safety, and the threat abductions and disappearances pose to the average Page Nine reader (and the rest of the country). It is unknown whether increased public gun possession would help lower the alarming rate of disappearances.

Tens of thousands of people go missing annually, some through foul play, some skipping out on debts, troubles, spouses, kids, parents, responsibility, and some from preventable accidents. Some are heinous murders with the bodies never found, so they end up listed simply as missing. Please drop a note to your local "news" outlet today, thanking them for keeping you informed. Permission to circulate this Page Nine news brief is, as always, gladly granted.

Media Bias Worsening

The lamestream media told you:

Literally nothing.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The Media Research Center's latest analysis of network TV "news" finds that, for the first seven months of 2007, ABC, CBS and NBC ran 650 stories on homicides involving firearms. They balanced this with stories of guns saving people from crime -- twice -- for a ratio of 325 to one against the public.

Criminologists have repeatedly found that guns are used to prevent crimes far more often than to commit crimes. Of 13 scholarly studies on the issue, depending on time frames and the set of respondents asked, guns stop crime between 700,000 and 3.4 million times every year.

The networks' distortion of truth on the subject is reprehensible, especially as public stewards of government-monopoly licenses to broadcast. They could not be reached for comment.

Efforts to have the Society of Professional Journalists address such ethical abuse have been fruitless -- and I've been trying for years. My latest article on the matter was turned down as "too controversial." Go figure.

In other news, MRC's study revealed the networks give double the time to Democrat candidates and promote the liberal agenda. See the report, or add your name to the petition demanding equal time.

Times' Grizzly Deception

The lamestream media told you:

The New York Times reported that returning vets have committed or are charged with 121 murders in the U.S. since the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns began. Part of an ongoing campaign to educate the public, the story ran on the front page on a Sunday, above the fold.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

In one of the most reprehensible deceptions of many perpetrated by The New York Times, the paper failed to mention that, according to their published statistic, returning veterans are at least five times less likely to commit murder than the population at large. The Times smear story actually shows that U.S. military service has a measurable and enormously positive impact on behavior, but they failed to include that point in their sensationalist page-one assault on our troops.

Experts have long noted that America has what may be the most well behaved and ethical military the world has ever seen.

Read all about it, in the Times' competitor, The New York Post.
