LEAKED NETWORK MEMO REVEALS: Obama Controls Your Television Set

On September 10th of this year the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) posted a press release informing the world that “from October 19-25, more than 60 network TV shows [will] spotlight the power and personal benefits of service,” and that this “unprecedented block of TV programming is the first wave of a multi-year ‘I Participate’ campaign.”

On its face this all sounds rather benign in that silly, liberal do-gooder kind of way. The networks have launched these kinds of campaigns before and other than some clunky exposition awkwardly inserted into your favorite show to meet the mandate — no harm, no foul.

But this year there are a couple new strangers in town: “Volunteerism” and “Service.” You’ve heard of them. Their names have been bandied everywhere since President Obama took office, and this internal memo from the EIF to network showrunners obtained by Big Hollywood shows that the entertainment industry is well acquainted and eager to introduce both to as vast an audience as possible:

eif-dochttp://www.docstoc.com/docs/document-preview.aspx?doc_id=13226597

Like the NEA story, once again we see the same buzzwords pop up; suggested topics pitched to an overwhelmingly left-of-center group: Education, health, environment, the economy and lastly — almost as an afterthought as some kind of “bi-partisan” cover – support for military families.

We’ll have to wait until next week to see what effect this initiative will have on the 60 television (and news) programs in question, but thanks to the intrepid Patrick Courrielche and Stage Right, today we can answer the simple question of…

“What’s wrong with this?”

Doing the work the Kamikaze Media (many of whom are participating in this event rather than digging for the story) refuses, and with the help of Big Government’s Dana Loesch, Patrick and Stage Right have discovered that when it comes to this White House – whether it’s the NEA conference calls or EIF’s iParticipate programming — all roads funnel into one place: online volunteer portals, including Serve.gov, where if you plug in “health care” all kinds of Planned Parenthood openings pop up along with a video dispelling those ugly “myths” knocking ObamaCare.

There’s scarier stuff, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise. *cough*Trutherism*cough*

We’ll start with Stage Right. Next week, tens, if not hundreds of millions of Americans, will be urged through the (ab)use of public airwaves to log on to the EIF iParticipate site and volunteer. Stage Right will give you a preview of what the unsuspecting and well-intentioned, including your children, will find.

If you’re thinking it’s all about “Meals on Wheels,” think again.

From there, Patrick Courrielche will describe how this EIF initiative fits into a broader White House plan, including the push to politicize the NEA, to redefine “art” as “service” and engage an all too compliant news, entertainment, and artistic community to start a volunteer army through these online portals.

First the NEA, now the EIF…

Starting to notice a pattern?

Music and intelligence: the relationship between the two

"While SAT scores are criticized for not accurately determining intelligence, the results show that the “smartest” students’ favorite musician is Beethoven, with an average SAT score of 1371, and at the other end of the spectrum is Lil’ Wayne, with an average score of 889."

It has been proven that babies who hear Beethoven and other classical music in womb are higher functioning. Perhaps hearing rap music while in the womb does exactly the opposite?!?

I/we have a daughter who was lucky enough to attend Semester at Sea as part of her college experience and sail around the world while studying and experiencing things that most of us only ever dream of doing and seeing. We sacrificed to add this program to her already expensive private college bill. Many of the young people on that cruise came from wealthy and privileged families from primarily the U.S. but also from Canada and a smattering of students from all over the world. They represent many of the supposed brightest and definitely luckiest and privileged kids today and ever. Our daughter and the other from her sailing meet-up when they can with other Semester at Sea Alumni on reunion cruises and special sailings as well as some on-land organized events for their group only.

Do these kids listen to Mozart, Bach and Beethoven... or even Il Divo regularly?? We would hope so. The nucleus of her group are now all between 23 to 27 years old. An email was sent out by one of them, the other day, to the group encouraging them to sign up for the next reunion for more fun and sent out an absolute fowl Rap video full of drinking and profanity as encouragement. It is sad when you realize how our youth has been damaged by the music, TV, movies and video games. In the past few weeks... while people were worried about their healthcare... the White House just tripled the funds for the NEA to help brainwash all of us... in their war for the minds, hearts and unquestionable allegiance of all Americans, but especially the youth of America~

The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America - By Charlotte T. Iserbyt will change forever the way you look at your child's education.

Iserbyt has directed her flashlight into the darkest, secret, elitist
corners of academe, flushing out and exposing to the light of day the
termites who have been eating away at the foundations of traditional academic education.

Charlotte Iserbyt is to be greatly commended for having put together the most formidable and practical compilation of documentation describing the "deliberate dumbing down" of American children by their education system.

Anyone interested in the truth will be shocked by the way American social engineers have systematically gone about destroying the intellect of millions of American children for the purpose of leading the American people into a socialist world government controlled by behavioral and social scientists.

~~ The Dumbing Down of America Part 11 –Indoctrination and Propaganda In Our Schools ... ~~

School Children Sing Songs of Obama's Glory

No word on where or when this was shot but it was posted to YouTube just two days before The One’s speech to students, which makes me wonder if it was part of some school’s festivities for the screening. I think parents’ fears about their kids being politically indoctrinated are usually overblown, but I’m open to persuasion by compelling evidence — like, for example, this, or the vid you’re about to see. Getting little kids to croon about how awesome the president is troubles me less than the pop quiz the boss posted, mainly because they’re too young to understand and/or assimilate the agenda they’re singing about (and way too young to vote, natch).

Follow-up on the “Stuff” videos…

The Dumbing Down of America Part 1… In case you haven’t seen it.

Story of Stuff. Some School Children Who Saw the Film

One of the scariest parts of this entire situation is that many of the teachers teaching your children and grandchildren, America’s future, are already products of years indoctrination and dumbed down education themselves… so they don’t even notice that there is a problem with the curriculum the are teaching. Others are liberals indoctrinated by the system. And those that are older, have had a more rounded better education, or more conservative views are often forced into a curriculum they don’t want to teach with threats of punishment or retribution if they do not conform.

It is up to parents to be watchdogs, form parent groups and vote out politicians and school boards who teach and promote values against their beliefs and against the American Way of Life . We have always known that academics tend to be liberal. But it is no longer that they are exposing your children to anti-American rhetoric and thoughts as well as Communist Black Panther Professors at the College and University level like, Angela Davis , when I/we went to college. It is now happening from kindergarten on. Textbooks and our history has been sanitized and rewritten, anti-American rhetoric is being taught regularly in school in all grades, even through worship type songs and programs for President Obama, as people like ex-Weatherman like Bill Ayers have input into academia.

Nearly 20 young children are captured in an online video as they sing songs that overflow with campaign slogans and praise for "Barack Hussein Obama," as they repeatedly chant the president's name and celebrate his accomplishments. CONTINUE READING & WATCH VIDEO ON PATRIOTUPDATE.COM

These types of worshipping songs are taught in countries like Venezuela, North Korea, Iran and once upon a time in Germany…

We can’t sing Christmas Carols in school anymore, but…

Wake-Up America!

WE are given the gifts of fear and common sense, but somehow we, Americans, have stopped using them or listening to ourselves!! When you have immigrants from places like Cuba, Venezuela and Iran telling Americans… “We had to learn to read between the lines and really listen to the words with little access to contrary information, why aren’t you hearing it?” or a little old come up to you at the end of a HC meeting point at the tabooed number on her arm and say “It is happening again”, it is almost past time to wake up!!

Hmmm… and who funded this??? The Tides Foundation; remember – George Soros, Teresa Kerry Hines….??

GLENN: Do you think Barack Obama got this into your kids' schools? I want you to listen to this. This was sent to a watchdog who doesn't want to be identified. We did some research. 7,000 schools and churches and organizations are now playing this across the country. This was played in a school which we won't reveal yet. Watch tonight. I have my reasons. This was played in a school and we got a watchdog who alerted us to it. Now I'm going to play just the audio, but wait until you see. This is what the New York Times says is far better than Al Gore's movie, far better because it's more accessible. Listen to what they're teaching in this little movie.
VOICE: I spent 10 years traveling the world tracking where our stuff comes from and where it goes. And you know what I found out? That is not the whole story. There is a lot missing from this explanation. For one thing, this system looks like it's fine, no problem. But the truth is it's a system in crisis.
PAT: What's the system we're talking about here, by the way?
GLENN: How our stuff how does our stuff get here.
PAT: Yeah. Mostly the capitalist system.
STU: Yes, the capitalist system.
PAT: It's capitalism. She's not saying that, but that's what she's alluding to.
VOICE: And the reason it's a system in crisis is it's a linear system and we live on a finite planet. And you cannot run a linear system on a finite planet indefinitely. Every step along the way this system is interacting with the real world. In real life it's not happening on a blank white page. It's interacting with societies, cultures, economies, the environment. And all along the way it's bumping up against limits. Limits we don't see here because the diagram is incomplete.
GLENN: This is
VOICE: So let's go back through. Let's fill in some of the blanks and see what's missing.
GLENN: This is in schools.
VOICE: Well, one of the most important things that's missing is people. Yes, people. People live and work all along the system.
GLENN: Oh, no.
VOICE: And some people in this system matter a little more than others.
GLENN: Uh oh.
VOICE: Some have a little more say. Who are they? Well, let's start with the government. Now, my friends tell me I should use a tank to symbolize the government, and that's true in many countries and increasingly in our own. That's
GLENN: Stop. I should use a tank. I should use a tank to demonstrate, illustrate our government. And then it turns into a tank. It is the capital and then it turns into a tank. This happens in a lot of countries, and some say more increasingly in our very own.
STU: I was on the way in today and I got run over by a tank.
GLENN: Did you?
STU: It was
PAT: Were those government tanks?
STU: rolling down the street. They were government tanks.
GLENN: Well, maybe I shouldn't give her such a hard time because I think I agree with her that maybe the tank thing is in our future. I mean, for the love of Pete. Are we not, are we not engaging in anti American, anticapitalism propaganda now in our schools? Go ahead.
VOICE: Now more than 50% of our federal tax money is going to the military.
GLENN: Military.
VOICE: Because I told true to the vision and values the government should be of the people, by the people, for the people.
GLENN: Listen to this.
VOICE: It's the government's job to watch out for us, to take care of us. That's their
GLENN: Stop. It is not the job of the government to watch out for us and to take care of us! It is not the government's job. That kind of government leads to a tank and a man on a lonely bridge standing there with his hand up trying to stop the tank. That's a government that takes care of you, watch out for you. Not the American government. That is never the goal of the American government. It never has been. That has been the goal of every despotic government ever created on Earth.
STU: It's not like this is going to 7,000 schools, though. So don't worry about it.
GLENN: Oh, okay, thank you.
VOICE: Job. Then along came the corporation. Now, the reason the corporation looks bigger than the government is that the corporation is bigger than the government. Of the 100 largest economies on Earth now, 51 are corporations. And as the corporation has grown in size and power, we've seen a little change in the government where they're a little more concerned in making sure everything's working out for those guys than for
GLENN: Stop. I actually agree with this part of it. I have no problem with corporations getting big. I have every problem with corporations joining with governments. The rules apply for the government and the corporations and the people alike. Laws are laws. No special favors. No special breaks. I don't care how big you are.
STU: It's a ridiculous premise, though, to say that everything's getting so much easier for businesses these days. And this is not the way we're going.
GLENN: It is. It is. It is much easier if you are the right corporation.
STU: If you are, maybe for certain ones you can make that argument.
GLENN: Yes, the right corporations.
STU: That's not the argument she is making, though, at all.
GLENN: No, uh uh.
STU: I mean, obviously if you are GE, yes, things got a lot easier for you the last nine months.
GLENN: Oh, no, there's nothing that happened like, you know, Barack Obama opening the gateway right to Russia so he could they could have meetings with Vladimir Putin. That didn't well, that happened, but it didn't wasn't tied.
PAT: Nothing to do
GLENN: It happened on the same day that we gave up the missile shield over in Europe and we sold Poland out.
PAT: Pure coincidence.
GLENN: That's a sheer coincidence.
PAT: Stop with your hate.
GLENN: Yeah, I'm sorry, sorry.
VOICE: Okay. So let's see what else is missing from this picture. We'll start with extraction, which is a fancy word for natural resource exploitation, which is a fancy word for trashing the planet.
PAT: Wow. Talk about propaganda.
STU: This is unbelievable, unbelievable.
PAT: Unbelievable.
GLENN: Wait until you see it tonight. Wait until you see it. It's you know what? Can we include a link, please, in our newsletter? If you have the free e mail newsletter at GlennBeck.com, you will get a copy of this and then you also see it tonight. And there is so much to show you about I'm blowing out that, tonight the hour is on propaganda. Tonight the hour is, I'm tying some things together on the blackboard that we started last night. I'm telling you it is going to come fast and furious. This stuff is going to start coming down and raining down on the program fast and furious. You are going to start tying it together. I think last night was a show that a lot of people had, oh, my gosh, an a ha moment where they looked and went... I get it, I get it, I see where it's all leading. I see how it's all being done. You remember when we met six months ago and we were talking and I said, you don't know what's going on. And I was so frustrated because I didn't know what was going on. I couldn't figure it out. Well, some of us, unlike others in the media, have been up almost 24 hours a day at times trying to figure it out. And I got I'm telling you, I know what's happening. I know how to show it to you. I can't show all of it, but I will tell you this: I said last week off air and I'll say today, I know exactly how to stop it, and it certainly is not through force. It certainly is not through guns. It certainly is not it is with the truth. And I know what the truth is and I know where to snag em. And just, by the way, my brakes work fine and I'm not suicidal.

Yosi Sergant: Who Is He??

“Barack Obama is a figurehead of a movement, I would call it the progressive movement. My ‘Goal’ is to get Obama elected. I use mechanisms I know, which are basically artistic. Look how important the grass roots are. Look at the effect they can have. I drank the Kool-Aid. I am alive with it, I believe an Obama saying ; ‘We are the change we have been waiting for’” …Yosi Sergent, LA Weekly Article, September 2008

NEA and White House Conspires to Transmit Propaganda!

$2 million behind National Endowment for the Arts politics push

On August 12, a group of 21 arts organizations endorsed President Barack Obama's health reform plan only 48 hours after a conference call in which a top National Endowment for the Arts official asked arts groups for help in advancing the administration's policy agenda, including health care.

One reason the arts organizations may have been so swift to follow the administration's suggestion is that 16 of the groups and affiliated organizations received nearly $2 million in grants from the National Endowment for the Arts in the 150 days before the conference call. According to a Washington Times analysis of NEA records, more than $1 million of that total came from the stimulus package. (see timeline)

The explosive questions are obvious and so far the administration is not talking:

Is it ethical, or even legal, for a federal official from a grant-making agency to ask grant recipients to endorse the administration's political agenda? Is the White House crossing a line when a West Wing political appointee is on the call? Did political considerations infect the grant-making process at NEA?

Digging deeper into the grants only reveals more disturbing questions. Among the recipients of the grants, in this case, $50,000 from the stimulus package, is a group named Americans for the Arts. According to federal records published at OpenSecrets.org, Americans for the Arts has already dedicated $250,000 to lobbying expenses this year alone. The president of Americans for the Arts is an Obama donor and the affiliated political action committee gave $48,000 to congressional Democrats in the last election cycle. According to NEA records analyzed by The Washington Times, donors to the PAC received more than an additional $500,000 in stimulus funds.

Did Congress intend for stimulus money to land in the coffers of politically connected lobbyists? What protections did the administration put in place to assure that stimulus money was not steered to its political allies? Have other lobbyists been funded through stimulus programs administered by different federal agencies?

Since The Washington Times began writing about the NEA's shady conference call, NEA Director of Communications Yosi Sergant has been removed from his position and reassigned according to an agency spokeswoman. Kalpen Modi, an official with the White House Office of Public Engagement, remains in his position.

It is far from clear, that Mr. Sergant and Mr. Modi were acting alone in arranging what appears to be a back door effort to transform art promotion into political capital. Indeed, The Washington Times has uncovered an example of how the NEA's newly confirmed chairman may be involved.

In the weeks after the Sergant-Modi conference call, NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman had a conversation with Bob Lynch, president and CEO of Americans for the Arts. The Washington Times learned of the conversation because Mr. Lynch posted a podcast about it on ArtsUSA.org, the Americans for the Arts web site. According to Mr. Lynch, the conversation included a discussion of health care reform.

Since controversy erupted however, ArtsUSA.org has removed the link to the podcast from its blog just as the NEA tried to remove its fingerprints from the conference call.

The roots of the effort to turn the National Endowment for the Arts into a political tool of the White House go back to just days after Barack Obama's 2008 election. Here's how events unfolded:
