The role of the press has traditionally been that of holding the government accountable by doing what is called investigative reporting. It has been responsible for the exposure of such things as the Watergate Hotel break in, the John Edwards scandal, the oil for food scandal and many other cases of fraud and corruption in government on various levels of national importance .

  The importance of the free press is evident in that it is mentioned by name in first amendment of the constitution. The founders recognized the importance of having a non-governmental independent body to have freedom of speech to hold them , the founders, accountable to the people. At one time in America the press was a respected “news” source for citizens to find out what their representatives were doing, both good and bad.

 Today there is no really reliable source of news on the available to most citizens. Only a few sources are “somewhat” balanced in their coverage of what they determine to be news worthy. For the most part I don’t have a problem with how things are covered on those networks and in those newspapers. My real issue is what is being covered.

  I would dare to bet that very few people reading this article have heard that over the past few months there have been several purchases of ammunition by the Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration and believe it or not National Oceanic  and Atmospheric Administration. The total number of rounds of ammunition, mostly 9mm hollow point, totals over 1,005,000,000 (that’s BILLION WITH A B!). Now I can understand D.H.S. needing bullets (they alone bought a billion rounds plus a massive amount of high explosives) but what on earth does the Social Security Administration need hundreds of thousands of rounds for? Again I have no problem with taxpayers paying for the arming of D.H.S. but what does the weather service need tens of thousands of rounds of small arms and ammunition for? It would seem, to me anyway, there may just be some need for an investigation into this peculiar activity. According to the D.H.S. website (before the information was scrubbed on Saturday) all of the ammunition had to be delivered by August 20^th. Why? Why so much? Why by the 20^th? Are they expecting massive civil unrest? Are the weather men so wrong in their predictions they fear the public storming the administration angry about the rain at the family picnic? Are they afraid of the elderly rioting over the lack of cost of living increases?

  I would further bet that few if anyone in the country are aware that the new Muslim Brotherhood Egyptian President has been invited to the White House in September. You may say so, he is the democratically elected leader of Egypt. Well an uninformed person would have no trouble with that, but, if the press had been doing their job no American would want this man or anyone associated with his government on our soil let alone at the White House as an “HONORED GUEST”! The Muslim Brotherhood has been beating and publicly crucifying opponents of the party in front of the presidential residence in the capital city! These are barbaric people and this president has called them partners in peace and has openly praised them! Can anyone imagine what kind of people would actually crucify anyone because they disagree with them politically, or for any reason at all!

 There is more, much more that the press is not telling the American people. There are also a lot of things they are telling us or letting themselves be used to tell us that is blatantly false and potentially deadly to this republic! WE THE PEOPLE must take action to hold the press accountable. We must make every effort to get ourselves informed and inform others and we must contact the corporate heads and demand that they quit being schills for politicians and corporations. We are being led down a very dangerous road on many levels and this generation will be held accountable for the destruction of this republic! Everyone can do something to inform family and friends. I have started this blog to inform as many as possible, I write letters to the editor I gather and send information to people on Facebook and through e-mail. I urge you to do whatever you can to save this republic from the progressive agenda that is a cancer to this democratic republic. Do all you can and do it now. SAVING AMERICA must begin to take the highest priority or we will have lost the very gift of God that gives us the liberty to speak out against government corruption or to be apathetic and lazy! If the lazy and apathetic don't get up off their backsides they will find that they will no longer have the liberty to continue in their lifestyle!
