Figures. MoveOn.org & Van Jones Behind FOX Ticker Hackjob Hoax

It figures.
On May 31, 2011 I was sent this email by someone who identified himself as “Babi Gumm”:

Last night I hacked into the FoxNews news ticker on 6th avenue in NYC.

Here’s the video. If you’d like to know why, just read the message in the hack.

I accessed the Fox ticker basically to get your attention. Also because Fox deserves it: they’re the 24/7 mouthpiece of the right wing. They are huge perpetuators of the big lie.

This country isn’t broke. Question is: where is the money going?

Americans have a right to know their pockets are being fleeced by corporations and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and we can no longer tolerate the deceit FoxNews is perpetuating.

Here is the video:

It turned out to be a hoax. The FOX News ticker was never hacked into.

Now we know who was behind the video… MoveOn.org and Van Jones.
World Net Daily reported, via Free Republic:

The George Soros-funded activist group Moveon.org has admitted it was behind a hoax Youtube video in which it appeared the ticker outside News Corporation’s Manhattan headquarters had been hacked and reprogrammed with an anti-Fox News script calling for revolution.

MoveOn.org admitted it set up fake identities for the alleged hackers and even released a misleading video in which a man, with his face disguised, purported to confess he was behind the Fox News hacking.

The entire scheme, it turns out, was meant to promote the June 23 launch of what MoveOn labels “the largest economic campaign we have ever run.”

The campaign, titled “Rebuild the Dream,” is co-sponsored by Van Jones, President Obama’s former “green jobs” adviser. Jones resigned in September 2009 after it was exposed he founded a communist revolutionary organization and implied the Bush administration was complicit in the 9/11 attacks.

The YouTube video, titled “Fox News Got Hacked. Real,” has garnered more than 310,000 views since it was posted last month. It shows several people emerging from a subway outside the Manhattan headquarters of News Corp., the parent of the Fox News.

Rebuild the Dream of what exactly? I suspect this is Marx’s dream of humanity that would be made perfect by socialist society. This of course is secular salvation, and is revealed for the Grand Lie that it is given how much blood was spilled and in some cases still is being spilled in Marx’s name in the vain attempts to create that society in the USSR, China, Cambodia, DPRK and Cuba.

Don’t forget: socialism is the fraudulent bargain that we each can (and must) live at the expense of others. It only can be imposed by force, coercion and compulsion. Anyone who dies this is a useful idiot, or a liar.

Can someone explain how corporations and tax breaks for the wealthy are taking money out of my pockets? As far as I can tell the only entities taking money out of my pockets are the state of California and the United States Federal Government.

You gotta wonder if Soros sees what he’s getting for his millions and day after day just goes direct to facepalm.

Hacking is a crime you know. One that leads to jailtime and huge fines. This isn’t a hoax, joke or prank. It was a deliberate attempt to destroy Fox’ business and credibility and a theft of their resources. A CRIME. Fox should sue.

Maybe someone can hack into the ABC Big Screen on Times Square and show the January 2008 video of Obama saying,

“Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”

That’s the only way it will ever be on anything Disney/ABC owns.

Look, if this is the best the brilliant Van Jones and the very-expensive-for-George-Soros Media Matters can do, let them have their little game. Do you think this affected the opinion of anyone, anywhere?

Ask yer Obamessiah why the $3 trillion stimulus he gave to state and local gov employee unions didn’t pull us out of the recession.

This juvenile stunt shows the depth of hatred these people have for us and all things true to America. Their evilness has no limits. I believe these little episodes are just hints of what they’re capable of. This incident is like what a petulant child does right before he sets the house on fire.

Speaking of Fox News…

Is Fox News Out to Sabotage Governor Palin?
MEDIA WITH AN AGENDA
by Laura Alcorn, blogging at Richmond Patriots

(Jun. 9, 2011) — Recently we had a series of discussions with someone familiar with the inside dealings of Fox News regarding the way Fox News treats Governor Palin. While I don’t condone using anonymous sources (I usually make fun of those citing anonymous sources) unfortunately we can’t reveal the source. So we have therefore gathered the evidence that will back up everything we were told and it’s up to the reader to come to his or her own conclusion. Whichever way you look at it, the evidence is astonishing on how Fox News is out to sabotage Governor Palin.

(snip)

That was the turning point for Ailes where he decided that Governor Palin is not his candidate and that he’ll do whatever he can to make sure she isn’t. Ailes needed someone he could control and Governor Palin clearly wasn’t that person. Sometime in recent months the word went out internally that reporters, anchors and contributors should push the narrative that Palin isn’t running as hard as they can. No matter what Palin says or does or what the polls say, the rule is simple : “Palin isn’t running and everything she does is either for fun or for money.”

Why can’t Van Jones:
-swim in shark-infested waters?
-play with faulty grenades?
-bungie-jump with a frayed cord?
-try to swim?

Why?

I sure Van Jones can swim with sharks. I am sure they get along very well. I think it is called professional courtesy.
