Mr. Crowley

What went on in your head?

"State Dept. spokesman quits over remarks; Decried treatment of leaks suspect" by Farah Stockman,  Globe Staff / March 14, 2011

WASHINGTON — State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley resigned yesterday after his disparaging remarks about the Pentagon, made to a small seminar at MIT on the power of blogging, tweeting, and Facebook, appeared in blog postings by members of the audience.   

You can not tell the truth in AmeriKa if you are anywhere near power.

Crowley, a retired colonel who served 26 years in the Air Force, called the Pentagon’s treatment of an Army private accused of leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks “ridiculous’’ and “counterproductive.’’

The patsy framed for the Israeli intelligence leak.

Private First Class Bradley Manning is being held in solitary confinement in a military jail for 23 hours a day, and is stripped each night and given a suicide-proof smock to wear to bed.

The remarks, which Crowley later described as his personal opinion, were blogged by BBC reporter and Nieman fellow Philippa Thomas. The next day, CBS’s Political Hotsheet blogged about her report. So did Foreign Policy Magazine and Salon. On Friday, President Obama was asked about them at a White House press conference....

Siva Vaidhyanathan, professor of media studies at the University of Virginia, who said he heard about the remarks on Twitter within minutes:  “If you want to get your message out, the old-fashioned way is to have a quiet discussion with a reporter as an exclusive. The new way is to let it boil up from the tweeters and the bloggers.’’  

That is why newspapers are dying.  

Well, the divisive, agenda-pushing, war-promoting lying helped.

Vaidhyanathan said Crowley, who also served as spokesman for President Clinton’s National Security Council, would not have used the same blunt words at the State Department because it would have reflected poorly on Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.  

So EGOS enter into the equation when it comes to the truth and the AmeriKan government?

Crowley, a 59-year-old Massachusetts native who graduated from the College of the Holy Cross, did not return a phone call yesterday. But he kept on tweeting....  

Going over the head of the Amerikan media, huh?

And if the AmeriKan media is promoting a blog you know it is part of the controlled-opposition operation:

"Volunteer site with Harvard roots spreads citizen journalism’s voice" by Jennifer Preston, New York Times / March 14, 2011

NEW YORK — As part of Tunisia for Global Voices, a volunteer-driven organization and platform that works with bloggers all over the world to translate, aggregate, and link to online content. reporting, Amira al-Hussaini said the site turned to Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, where other bloggers and hundreds of ordinary people stepped into the role of citizen journalist and shared their experiences, cellphone photos, and videos online....

Rebecca MacKinnon, a former Tokyo bureau chief for CNN who founded Global Voices and Ethan Zuckerman, a technologist and Africa expert, said the network grew out of an international meeting of bloggers held at Harvard in late 2004. 

I do not trust blogs by former media types (I'll bet she's glad she's not on assignment in Tokyo now) that are sanctioned by the New World Order Ivy League training school for elite management and promoted by the agenda-pushing paper.

They saw an opportunity to leverage content produced on blogs and social media sites like Twitter outside the United States and to help create a global community for them and their work....

--more--"

Time to do battle against the forces of good(?), Crowley:

"The Holy See has improved getting its message out online, with a dedicated YouTube channel and Twitter accounts, and its increasing presence on Facebook....  

Who can blame them after the way they have been singled out by the Zionist AmeriKan media?

Not that the pooper-pumping perverts are undeserving of the scorn. 

Won't find me in a pew these days.
