"Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street are owned by the Zionists," Thomas, 90, told an audience of about 300. "No question, in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is."

Arab-American leaders met with Wayne State University officials Tuesday, asking them to reverse their decision last week to pull an award named after journalist Helen Thomas after she made controversial remarks.

And they defended Thomas against those who say she made anti-Semitic comments Thursday in Dearborn.
"Helen Thomas is not now, and never has, been anti-Semitic," Imad Hamad, regional director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, said Tuesday evening. "She has worked her entire career, 60 years, to bring truth to the American public, and she is simply continuing to do that."
Hamad added: "Wayne State is a friend, and we were shocked."
Robert Cohen, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Metropolitan Detroit, told the Free Press that it's "ludicrous to say that her comments were anything but anti-Semitic. When they're saying 'Zionists,' they're really saying 'Jews.' These are stereotypes that have been used for hundreds of years."
Three Arab-American leaders, including Hamad, met with senior WSU officials, including a vice president and interim dean, Hamad said.
The comments at issue came during an interview and in a speech at a workshop for Arab Detroit.
"Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street are owned by the Zionists," Thomas, 90, told an audience of about 300. "No question, in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is."
The national director of the Anti-Defamation League said Thomas' remarks were anti-Semitic. Wayne State officials also said the remarks were wrong and ended the annual Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in the Media award.
On Sunday night, Thomas told the Free Press: "The leaders of Wayne State University have made a mockery of the First Amendment and disgraced their understanding of its inherent freedom of speech and the press."
Osama Siblani, publisher of the Dearborn-based Arab American News and spokesman for the Congress of Arab-American Organizations, defended Thomas on Tuesday. He was in the group that met with WSU officials and has received the Helen Thomas award.

First Amendment suspended in the Gulf of Mexico as spill cover-up goes Orwellian

Yep, this sort of Conscientious behaviour is no longer allowed, if you want to see the wildlife, you had better keep your distance. If, however, you happen to accidently spot an oil covered bird, be sure to contact BP's Wildlife Response Service,  for expertise and downright honest concern for any misshaps that might occur...

Monday, 05 July 2010 10:07 .As CNN is now reporting, the U.S. government has issued a new rule that would make it a felony crime for any journalist, reporter, blogger or photographer to approach any oil cleanup operation, equipment or vessel in the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone caught is subject to arrest, a $40,000 fine and prosecution for a federal felony crime.

CNN reporter Anderson Cooper says, "A new law passed today, and back by the force of law and the threat of fines and felony charges, ... will prevent reporters and photographers from getting anywhere close to booms and oil-soaked wildlife just about any place we need to be. By now you're probably familiar with cleanup crews stiff-arming the media, private security blocking cameras, ordinary workers clamming up, some not even saying who they're working for because they're afraid of losing their jobs."

If all this sounds familiar, it's because the U.S. government uses this same tactic during every war. The first casualty of war, as they say, is the truth. There are lots of war images the government doesn't want you to see (like military helicopter pilots shooting up Reuters photographers while screaming "Yee-Haw!" over the comm radios), and there are other images they do want you to see ("surgical strike" explosions from "smart" bombs, which makes it seem like the military is doing something useful). So war reporting is carefully monopolized by the government to deliver precisely the images they want you to see while censoring everything else.
