The following article concerning serious questions about Lou
Dobbs poses interesting doubts about what is going on with Lou.

·        
Here are some additional ones:

·        
He speaks a great deal about Independents, but
seldom mentions the Constitution, but much about government regulation…not
doing away with or limiting it, but how it should be done.

·        
What are the goals, plans, ethics, rules, etc.
of the Independents?

·        
As mentioned, Ron Paul is the only
Constitutionalist, but is completely ignored, in fact denigrated by statements
that there are NO candidates of fiscal responsibility, honesty, courage, or who
define “change”, which of course is quite deceiving.

·        
In reference to the Council on Foreign Relations
and neoconservative globalists….not only is Kitty Pilgrim one, but also David
Gergen, Jeffery Toobin, Bill Schneider. 
Also Bill Bennett, Donna Brazil, & numerous other
guests/commentators

·        
When the so-called “Independents” meeting was
held in OKC in early January, 2008 the list of organizers and attendees could
be anything except INDEPENDENT. 
Globalists all…consider, Sam Nunn, Charles Robb, David Boren, Gary Hart,
Chuck Hagel, John Danforth, Christine Todd Whitman, Michael Bloomberg….Constitutionalists/Independents?  Not in your wildest dreams.

·        
When the failed/sorry education system is
discussed the experts are usually the perpetrators and there is never a
discussion about the horrible curriculum or teaching methods or lack of
discipline…why?  Why has there never been
an expert who opposes the disastrous No Child Left Behind, such as EDWATCH.ORG?

·        
 The
question begs to be asked, are we being hoodwinked again, much as Newt
Gingrinch and his “Contract on America” did? 
Are they telling us what they know we desperately want to hear in order
to stay in power & control?

·        
Do these “INDEPENDENTS” wield even more power
and money than the 2-headed snake of the Democrat/Republican parties?

·        
Why is it Dobbs never mentions our Republic, but
we are always described as a Democracy…the worst nightmare of our Founders?

We only have this last chance to save our Republic and we
have only one Constitutional Candidate…the one who raises big bucks, wins the
debates, and is either ignored or vilified. 
This is no room for mistakes this time, even in the face of massive
voter fraud.

Some Questions About Lou Dobbs

Neal Ross

26 Jan. 2008

This is a touchy subject and I know I am going to upset a lot of people by what
I am about to say, but I feel obligated to say it. I only hope that instead of
people getting mad, they think about what I am going to say for themselves. If
they do and still find they disagree with me, fine, but at least think about it
first.

People talk about Hillary Clinton being a polarizing figure in politics. It
could be said that in the journalism business Lou Dobbs is just as polarizing.
He is outspoken and tackles issues that most of the other major networks either
refuse to discuss, or choose to ignore. In doing so he has developed quite a
devoted following. Mr. Dobbs has also made many people and groups angry,
particularly with his coverage of the illegal alien problem in America.

As I said his fan base is loyal, at times almost to the point of idol worship.
Witness some of the flattering e mails he reads on his show every evening.
Also, as an Independent voter he has attracted the attention of many as a
possible presidential candidate in opposition to the two mainstream political
parties. Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, ALIPAC, has said that 84% of its
25,000 supporters would vote for Dobbs if he chose to run for president as an
independent.

While I do think that Lou Dobbs is in fact covering certain issues that other
news organizations are not, issues that the majority of Americans are not aware
of, I have had some questions running around in the back of my mind for awhile
now, questions that I feel need to be asked.

Anyone who has watched Dobbs for any amount of time knows that he talks
extensively about our problem with illegal immigration, the war on the middle
class, the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, (both in lives and
dollars), the problems with imported goods, (mainly from China), our
governments failure in numerous areas, and finally the attempts by the Council
on Foreign Relations to create a North American Union.

When I first started watching Lou Dobbs my first thought was, ‘Wow, I wonder
how this guy keeps his job at CNN when he is covering these issues.’ I admired
his courage, and CNN’s management for allowing him the forum to discuss these
issues. However, after awhile I began to notice a pattern that started to
bother me.

Almost immediately I began to notice that Mr. Dobbs was careful as to who he
blamed for the problems he spoke about. It is acceptable and commonplace to blame
the government for the problems a country faces and Mr. Dobbs is not lacking
when it comes to his disdain for the failures of our government in almost every
thing it does. Dobbs also places the blame on special interests who have a
stranglehold on the our elected representatives. He is often heard to mention
the socioethnic and corporate special interest groups that are pushing forward
numerous agendas and attempting to pass certain pieces of legislation.

A good example is when he talks about the proposed North American Union. While
the proposed North American Union, under the Security and Prosperity
Partnership, is a serious threat to our sovereignty and something the American
people need to become familiar with, Dobbs seems to fall short when it comes to
fully exposing who is behind this plan. He has been heard to say the CFR is
behind it, mentioning the CFR’s own document, ‘Building a North American
Community’, he has yet to tell us who the CFR is, and who its members are. I
find that interesting, especially since all he would have to do is ask one of
his reporters,Kitty Pilgrim, for answers to his concerns. On Kitty Pilgrim’s
bio page at CNN.com, it clearly states that in 2000 Ms. Pilgrim was elected to
the Council on Foreign Relations. http://edition.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/pilgrim.kitty.html

I am torn between admiration for Mr. Dobbs and the fact that he even mentioned
the CFR, and the lack of investigative reporting that could have been done in
exposing who are members of the CFR. The CFR has an extensive roster that
reaches into the very center of our nations capital, our justice system, and
our media itself. It is no wonder they are not spoken of by the news. That is
why I say I have to admire Mr. Dobbs for even mentioning them. However, if you
look at their roster you might be inclined to ask yourself why Mr. Dobbs has
not actually named names when he talks about his special interest groups. Look
for yourself and see just who is listed as a member of the CFR. http://www.apfn.org/apfn/cfr-members.htm
It is quite interesting that the CFR is not investigated further by Mr. Dobbs,
particularly in light of the fact that Vice President Cheney is a member, a
fact that he jokingly admits he withheld from people when he ran for office. http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=5140898

Could it be that Mr. Dobbs is on a short leash by both his employers at CNN,
and the special interest groups themselves? If I can easily find these
references as to who is a member of the CFR you would think that Mr. Dobb’s staff
would also be able to uncover this same information for him to report on. Could
it be that Kitty Pilgrim is there to keep him in check in case he goes too far
in his coverage? Just something to think about when you give Mr. Dobbs kudos
for doing such a great job of exposing this threat to our nations sovereignty.

Another area where I have questions regarding Mr. Dobbs is in his understanding
of how our government is supposed to function according to the Constitution.
Dobbs is quite persistent in his criticisms of the president and his
administration in regards to almost every crisis this country faces. I have to
admit that Dobbs is equally as critical of our Congress when it comes to their
failure to protect the American people, but he is harshest when it comes to
criticizing President Bush.

To give you an example of what I am talking about, just the other evening
Senator Jeff Sessions was a guest on Lou’s show discussing illegal immigration.
Senator Sessions said we need to hear more details from our presidential
candidates about what they intend to do in regards to the problem of illegal
immigration. While I agree with Senator Sessions, and Lou Dobbs, that there is
in fact a serious problem that needs to be dealt with immediately, I disagree
with both these men on one issue.
It is the job of the president, and therefore any presidential candidates to
sign into law legislation and enforce it once it becomes law. It is the job of
Congress, both the Senate and the House to pass those pieces of legislation.
Therefore it is the job of the Congress to do something about immigration, not
the president. It would be well for us to know how the candidates stand on any
considered legislation, whether they would support or oppose any proposed steps
to end our problems with immigration. That would allow us to make a more
informed decision as to who would best represent the people.

You would think that Mr. Dobbs, and Senator Sessions would be aware of this
simple fact about how our government was supposed to function. I would hope
that all Mr. Dobbs was suggesting is that we find out exactly where our
presidential candidates stand in a bit more detail than the generalities we
have heard up to this point in the campaign.

While Mr. Dobbs expects our presidential candidates to be forthcoming with
specific details about how they would deal with the illegal immigration
problem, Dobbs himself has not been so forthcoming in his reporting on the
problems this countries economy is facing.

Mr. Dobbs does a very admirable job of reporting on the loss of jobs to foreign
workers, both imported and outsourced. Yet he fails to discuss the issue of
inflation in any great detail. According to the dictionary, inflation is
defined as an
abnormal increase in the volume of money and credit resulting in substantial
and continuing rise in the general price level.

Economics is a complicated and often boring subject that even I do not
understand fully. Yet I do understand a few basic things. Our countries
currency used to be backed by gold. As long as there was gold backing the paper
we could only print a finite amount of paper money because there was only a
finite amount of gold with which to back it. Since our government removed our
currency from the gold standard we have given the banks, particularly the
Federal Reserve Bank, the ability to print money at their whim that has no
backing whatsoever. While all paper currencies by their very nature are fiat
currencies, that is they are only paper currencies backed only by the authority
of the government, when you begin printing more and more paper that is backed
by the promise of the government, you end up with inflation, as per the
dictionaries definition.

It amazes me that Mr. Dobbs does not understand, and expose this problem to the
people of America. I find it amazing because prior to Lou Dobbs Tonight, his
show was entitled Lou Dobbs Moneyline. You would think that anyone who hosted a
show that covered financial matters would understand this basic principle,
especially so considering that Lou Dobbs graduated from Harvard with a degree
in economics.

Another concern with Mr. Dobbs is his sudden push to get people to change their
party affiliation to Independent. When talking about independents in America
one need only look at the long list of parties that are considered to be
independent for you to realize that they are fragmented and often disorganized.
There is the America First Party, the American Independent Party, the
Constitution Party, the Libertarian Party, the Peace and Freedom party. The
list goes on and on ad naseum.

While it is commendable that Mr. Dobbs would encourage voters to become more
active in their government, the simple truth of the matter is that for the
people of this country to register as independent is nothing more than a token
gesture to show our general lack of support for the current state of affairs in
government. With so many independent parties running around, not one of them
could field a candidate that stood any chance of winning, particularly at the
national level.

This ties in to my last concern with Mr. Dobbs, his refusal to talk about
candidate Ron Paul. Ron Paul is the closest thing our country has to a living
founding father. He more clearly than all the other candidates understands, and
legislates, strictly according to the Constitution. He understands more
thoroughly the economic problems our country faces. Yet Lou Dobbs refuses to
support him, instead he urges us to register as independent, which as I already
stated is nothing but a token gesture.

While I respect Lou Dobbs for the job he is doing, I think he falls short in
many instances. The issues which he covers, while at first may appear to be
groundbreaking, are in all truth subjects which a portion of the public were
already aware of. He seems to be holding back from going into greater detail as
to who is behind the curtains of the corporate and ethnocentric special
interest groups. He could very easily name names and make people aware of the
people who are causing this nation great harm. Yet you never hear him mention
people like the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, the Rockefellers and
the many other corporate and global interests that are planning and managing
the demise of America.

I know I may have upset many of you who think that Lou Dobbs walks on water. I
cannot deny that he has done an outstanding job of keeping the issue of illegal
immigration on the minds of his viewers. He has done more than anyone else in
the news media when it comes to standing up for Border Patrol Agents Ramos and
Compean. Yet I feel that there is more that he could be doing. It leaves me
wondering if he is allowed to spout off with just the right amount of righteous
indignation, but only up to a certain point. Is he kept on a very short leash
that gives his viewers the impression that he is more informed than the rest of
the media, when in fact he is in fact being himself controlled by those very
same special interest groups he rants about? I only ask that you examine these
questions with an open mind and not follow him blindly like the followers of
people like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O Reilly, and Sean Hannity. That is all I ask.
