CNN'S FAKE NEWS

Edward Snowden is a man on the run who is fearful that the US government will kill him because he knows their darkest secrets in committing International crimes. CNN fails to see it that way or give the story ample coverage in their selective journalism format to protect the US government - (Laura Poitras / Praxis Films photo)

NR TOP 10 - August 2013 - Part 1 - POLITICS RULE NR TOP 10

James Loving - National Radio Text Service

Since Edward Snowden revealed that the US government committed crimes against its citizens raises the question has the US GOV lost its mind? They forced down a plane of a government leader in their search for Snowden followed by their counterpart British government's raid of the Guardian newspaper that published Snowden's information. WHAT CRIMES HAVE THE US GOVERNMENT COMMITTED THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO PUBLIC TO KNOW? What does that have to do with this months NR TOP 10 RATINGS� read on

THE EDWARD SNOWDEN, NSA EFFECT

In what has resulted as the strangest NR TOP 10 ratings period ever, politics emerged as the theme commanding the strongest interest. Questions are raised as to what was the impetus that drove the interest in our stories that relate to politics. We can only deduce that the Edwin Snowden's NSA leaks are they fundamental reasons why for the interest in our US government content while the Cambodian prime minister elections helped contribute to the interest in our Khmer topics.

This month there was a strange pattern of subjects searched for with much of the research being archive material supported by the numerous hits on our BIZ WHO IS sub page which is a section that we have pretty much neglected since the original topic specific content was last written in 2007 with Donald Trump being the focus.

Amazingly the US government specific story US GOVERNMENT'S FOOL'S SCHOOL that examines how wrong the US Gov is with statements that are ridiculous that only 22 people have access to the NSA material that they ILLEGALLY STOLE from American citizens. In their dazzle the public with bullshit to cover up and deflect their ILLEGAL actions to whistle blower Edward Snowden who obtained the information as an employee of a company CONTRACTED by the US government. Obviously being an employee of a CONTRACTED company does NOT QUALIFY as being in the only 22 US government employees category that are supposedly the only ones credential to have that access.

Our story was published August 6th and it rocketed up our charts to command the number one spot in our NR TOP 10 ratings within 24 hours. We thank the NSA for their efforts in drawing attention to the subject.

It's well known that Edward Snowden is fearful that he will be murdered by the US government because he released classified documents to the Guardian newspaper that he obtained. Whatever information Snowden acquired the US government is unyielding that he be returned to the US and be tried as a traitor.

The result being is the invasion of the Guardian newspaper that published the information Snowden gave to them by British authorities who stood over Guardian employees as they followed instructions to destroy the hard drives on their computers that were thought to contain the information.

Again this is another example how stupid the US government is as any journalist knows that they should have numerous back up copies of their work storied in several places. It was later confirmed that the Guardian did just that.

The importance that the US government stresses in their efforts to COVER UP THEIR CRIMES is rational enough of how CRIMINAL THEY ARE.

Overall the politics theme content took six of the NR TOP 10 positions. TV reviews notched five TOP 10 spots while sports took three including a strange mixed content regarding CAMBODIA'S POLITICAL FOOTBALL in which old Cambodian politicians played an exhibition football game against Thai politicians. This was a classic affair that was in part to repair the turbulent feelings between the two countries as well as to stimulate business. This story has appeared on the charts several times and fell from its # 9 position last month to 10th this time around.

There are two surprising entries in this month's ratings being that one is two years old with China's Yao Ming being the subject questioning if he has the right stuff to be a businessman and is he worthy of being in the NBA Hall of Fame. Thus far he's proved to be a credible businessman and he is worthy of being the Hall as he's done more to improve relations between the US and China than the two governments.

Of note former NBA star and Hall of Fame member Dennis Rodman really put it all on the line to improve relations with another overly scrutinized nation when he visited North Korea. This story is not new to the charts. THE PEACEABLE MAN a.k.a. The Raging Bull, ROCKED THE WORLD when he made the visit only to be condemned by US government officials and US mass media a.k.a. US government puppets.

Rodman's visit to that nation in his effort to bring about world peace shocked TV news viewers. Rodman was received in a positive way by North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, government and citizens. Rodman brought smiles to the Korean people while the US government continues to real off threats including the CIA, CNN puppet Wolf Blitzer's ludicrous assertions that they were going to attack America, Japan and South Korea. This occurred in May following Rodman's visit in March.

When one tries to figure out why Israel exists and justifies its invading, murdering and occupation ways a human element was revealed on Simmons TV series Gene Simmons Family Jewels. Elderly rock star Simmons made noise as he boldly supports Israel as well as having half brothers and sisters being Israeli citizens.

Simmons birth name is Chaim Witz. He was born in Tirat HaCarmel, Israelon August 25, 1949 now age 63. His mother Florence and her brother, Larry Klein, were the only members of the family to survive the Holocaust. His mother brought him to the United States when he was 8-years-old. In March 2011, Simmons visited Israel and filmed the events. He described the trip as a "life changing experience". He talked about how he still feels that he is an Israeli: "I'm Israeli. I'm a stranger in America. I'm an outsider".

To sum up our appraisal of this month's NR TOP 10 ratings it seems strange that so much interest is related to politics following the disclosure of Edward Snowden's revelations of the US government committing crimes against its people and the WORLD. It's becoming a dictating, threatening government that practices the do as I say and not as I do application of government.

Is it drone time again? Is former US Vice President Dick Cheney out there selling WAR material again and wanting to do business in the West Bank?

TV - VIDEO BEAT - THE VOICE TOPS AMERICAN IDOL - April, 2013 THE VOICE IS OUR CHOICE - Following a series of questionable winners and judging changes American Idol has fallen from grace by its over emphasis on drama and making mysterious decisions. In its third season The Voice emerged as the premiere pure vocal talent show that continues in its new season 4. The Voice judges are polite and spot on with their decisions while Idol judges have applied ghetto speak that has a lot to be desired.

Everything reported was speculative** and most likely a lie. CNN and Blitzer make statements preceded by what US officials say. It's seldom clear the rules of journalism were applied by making clear regarding who, what, where, when and why the statements were made
7.	**POV - (Point of View) - INVESTIGATING WOLF BLITZER & CNN - May, 2013 BLITZERS DEATH WISHES - Blitzer is a messenger of selective news propaganda and sympathies. Did he report on the mysterious death of Israel's PRISONER X who was a member of the Mossad?

The simple answer is NO...
