PAGE NINE -- No. 11 by Alan Korwin, Author
I'm proposing a new page for newspapers ("Page Nine" regardless of the page it runs on), that covers stories afresh, not the way news rooms typically flavor things. It would help reduce the distrust so many readers feel. It could be the most read page in the paper, a light breath of fresh air. Here's a casual sample. It might make you say, "We'll NEVER run that!" but the page will be built around ad revenues from right thinking mainstream businesses.

The lamestream media told you: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: No fatwa by moderate Muslims against the radical Muslims had been issued at press time. ---------- The lamestream media told you: Now, some public colleges are considering requiring all students to take at least one class in U.S. history. The American Council of Trustees and Advisors, a national group, has found that "America's graduating college seniors are more familiar with snoop dogg and other MTV icons than the Founding Fathers." U.S. history is not currently a college requirement. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: According to "Magruder's American Government," the textbook in the Uninvited Ombudsman's daughter's senior high school class, "The Second Amendment was added to the Constitution to protect the right of each state to keep a militia." I am not making this up. The Prentice Hall textbook goes on the insist, "The only important 2nd Amendment case is 'United States v. Miller, 1939,'" and continues with a brief, distorted view of the Amendment, its origins and current condition. This is indexed as "gun control." There is no listing for guns, firearms, RKBA, or any rights-oriented category. Any positive aspects of guns, their use in the preservation of peace, and their relationship to freedom are absent. In stark contrast, "Supreme Court Gun Cases" covers 92 gun cases the High Court has heard, from nearly every period in its history, of which all assume or are consistent with the principle that RKBA is an individual right. No schools use this text. https://www.gunlaws.com/supreme.htm Further review of the Prentice Hall text finds that American-style capitalism, though treated with only mild disdain, shares equal space with socialism and communism as viable governmental models. Failures and abuses committed under those systems are missing for some reason. The propagandizing and deception in public school textbooks is widely known, but the controlling clique that produces them, approves them for schools and distributes them in monopoly fashion are well entrenched. Taxpayers fund the effort. At least the book includes a glossary. In Spanish. ---------- The lamestream media told you: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: No system for stopping the walkers has been introduced. Meanwhile, battles with radical fundamentalist Muslim jihadis all over the Middle East has squeezed this news out of the news. 2,500 new illegals. Every day. Reportedly, they obtain their fake ID after arriving. ---------- The lamestream media told you: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: Whether the majority of both houses of Congress, most of whom are reportedly multi-millionaires, use overseas shelters too, was not reported. ---------- The lamestream media told you: It is "a form of evolution," says reporter Gina Kolata, who goes on to say, "The difference does not involve genes," without explaining how that could possibly square with any theory of evolution. The story asks why this is happening, and the only possibilities proposed are undescribed effects in the womb and better nutrition in early in life, with no real detail provided. Medical advances cannot take most of the credit, she notes, leaving the impression that it's an unresolved mystery. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: One observer who will remain anonymous, and actually died decades ago at a ripe old age, had pointedly noted, "I love preservatives. That's why we don't have maggots." ---------- The lamestream media told you: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: McClatchy Newspapers reports (Aug. 3), with no apparent concern, that the minimum-wage bill recently passed by the House contains what they call "various sweeteners," including tax giveaways for the timber industry in Washington State, tax giveaways for miners in West Virginia, and "bond-related perks" for Arkansas. Reporter Margaret Talev says the incentives are aimed at Democrats who "fear that losing those special breaks could cost them votes back home." The legality of allocating portions of the public treasury to attract votes was not discussed, and no charges have been filed. Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), a supporter of the giveaways, characterized them as "merits to consider." The Webster dictionary does not define "merits" as bribes. ---------- The lamestream media told you: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: People are having sex, so they're popping out babies, and all the babies need homes, cars, air conditioning and fried chicken. Unless and until we deal with all the sex people are having, the other so-called problems, which are mere symptoms of the real problem, will continue to increase. Experts do not expect any action to be taken in the foreseeable future, in the free world. Communist China however is rumored to have addressed the problem in unspeakable ways, and quite effectively. ---------- The lamestream media told you: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: Author Elif Shafak has been charged by the secular Turkish government with "insulting Turkishness," for publishing an English-language novel, "The Bastard of Istanbul," which has been translated into Turkish and has become a best-seller there. In the novel, the attractive, red-headed, 35-year-old University of Arizona professor's fictional characters discuss Turkey's 1915 genocide against the Armenians, which butchered 1.5 million people, nearly exterminating the group. She is charged under Article 301, which states, "A person who publicly denigrates Turkishness, the Republic, or the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, shall be punishable by imprisonment of between six months to three years." It's good to know that Turkey is secular. Whether they will bring Shafak's fictional characters into court to testify is unknown. ---------- The lamestream media told you: "Millions can get you hundreds of millions, if not billions, at the end of the day," says Alex Knott of the Center for Political Integrity, a non-profit watchdog in Washington, D.C. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The tribe hired Akin Gump Strauss Hauer and Feld, who also represent AT&T, Pfizer, Boeing and ExxonMobil, becoming their biggest account. They are now lobbying for federal funds to build infrastructure to bring the water to the reservation. Indian gaming customers typically include a high percentage of White retirees living on federal social security and pensions. Critics say it is poetic justice, but non-critics wonder. Tribal officials say they are "pleased," calling it a return on investment. No ethical concerns were raised in the report. ---------- The lamestream media told you: The photograph showed two very heavy plumes of black smoke billowing from buildings in Beirut after an (Israeli) Air Force attack on the Lebanese capital. Reuters has since withdrawn the photograph from its website, posting a message admitting that the image was distorted, and an apology to editors. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: Arthur (not his real name) expressed shock when he saw CNN reports on the current state of affairs in the tiny country. "They only show bad stuff," he said, demonstrating the same naive ignorance most news consumers have about what they are fed by TV. Reuters, CNN and the rest of the lamestream media have painted a portrait of non-stop horrendous conditions that basically do not exist, according to the eye witness. It is typical for news consumers, when they are present at a news site, to be stunned by what passes for coverage after the fact, since they can compare the reality they witnessed to the version the media portrays. Arthur did admit that after the war with Hezbollah Muslims jihadis in Lebanon broke out, they did not tour the northern tip of the country. Requests that CNN and others at least mention that life in most of Israel is basically normal went unanswered. ----------
Corrections and Clarifications: 1. Regarding the testosterone levels found by the French, in American bicyclist Floyd Landis, a prominent, highly respected lobbyist notes that: "Compared to the French, any American male (and many females) would have too much testosterone. Too many Republican office holders may come close to the French level." I will try to be more careful and culturally sensitive next time. 2. Alex Glenn points out: Please note in your lead article (P9 #10) that automatic weapons are not severely restricted by the FBI. These weapons are restricted through the BATFE. Actually, the FBI and BATFE work in unison to severely restrict the public's access to these fine tools, and to maintain central government control over such small arms for themselves. My mistake. 3. The story on the non-gun armored car heist was incomplete. Thanks to NY-based Dean Speir for pointing out that: Actually, the FBI is " working to determine if the robbers had weapons that were manufactured to resemble assault rifles. " Undoubtedly the greater crime! And he continues: Toy rifles aided 3 in heist And Dean rightly points out: Right! Plastic replicas and OC spray… a lethal combination. 4. Alan: Re the "Dark Web" research by the U of A: When the university looks for info and patterns by data mining, the media thinks it's a cool story. When the administration does it in an effort to keep our shores safe, they see the end of freedom as we know it. Barney Brenner. 5. About the story that said machine guns were used in a heist, which later turned out to be toys, a reader who knows me from gun-show book signings pointed out that I forgot to mention the reporter said: "Police did not provide descriptions of the weapons used," and he said it was "pathetic that the reporter would say automatic weapons were used in the robbery -- lame reporting at it's very best, with a quote like that." I'm sorry. Read the tale for yourself: <http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0722heist0722.html>http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0722heist0722.html Plain Ole Observation: Have you noticed that when newscasters say "thank you" to their guests, the guests say "thank you" back? They're supposed to say "you're welcome," but they're so awestruck at being on the air that the silly thank-you-thank-you has become standard. Watch and you'll see. Then you'll start noticing it all around you. Bring back civility. Start saying "you're welcome" to people who have earned it.

============================== Great column; made me laugh, made me cry, made me cry out for more. Two thumbs up. I have read your latest posting. Excellent! You are a very bright and witty man. Keep up the good work. "The news media continues to disguise the global holy war against western civilization, conducted by Muslim fundamentalists waging jihad, as 'terrorism,' an innocuous word that implies indiscriminate criminal activity, and hides the Islamic nature of the problem."
