Cspan and networks aren't showing Senate hearings with Kissinger testifying.
What does that tell you about who is in control of broadcast media?

Fockers.

4. Hearings are usually on Cspan 3 when congress is in session. They're showing taped
programming from yesterday instead of the live Senate hearings today.

2. It may not be happening
Usually, when a hearing is closed, it says that on the website. Neither the SFRC site or the CapitolHearings.org site listed this as a 'closed' hearing.

Something probably happened at the last minute with Kissinger's schedule.

3. Don't know about CSPAN 3, but...
CSPAN1 and CSPAN2 are required, by their charter, to show the House and the Senate (respectively) when those bodies are in session. On my TV, CSPAN1 is showing the House conducting one minute speeches and CSPAN2 is showing the Senate in session.

So... Not sure what your gripe is.

6. Cspan 3 usually covers the senate hearings live.
Today they are showing tapes from yesterday instead.

8. We voted for more transparency, right
None of the oversight hearings are getting coverage. If you're lucky they are on CSPAN3 but most people have to stream CSPAN3. Most cable/dish customers only get CSPAN 1 & 2. The MSM news covers them in two-minute sound bites, if at all. CNN is running ads about keeping the new democratic majority honest. Well, maybe they should show the hearings the Democratic party promised us in the campaign for 2006. Why so much scrutiny for their first MONTH in charge and CNN doesn't have to cover the oversight hearings of the LAST SIX YEARS that we voted for?

17. They're Sparing Us The Torture
Can anyone really stand hearing Hank the Skank drone on for 30 minutes?

And what is this rat bastard gonna say? Is he gonna admit he was the root of many of the problems we face now and he's offered "advice" that made things even worse? Will he share with us his private conversations with crashcart where their dreams of power and world domination have played for over 3 decades? What value does this humaoid shit offer?

20. Henry The K doesn't show up on TV, has no shadow, casts no reflection in mirrors.
There's nothing there in his chair.

24. I'm 55 and remember this vampire and his influence all too well. One of the best
political documentaries I have ever seen was the Trials Of Henry Kissinger. The book was written by Christopher Hitchens, whom has since gone over to the dark side. I wonder if Kissinger got his fangs into Hitchen's neck????

27. here's my favorite....
Kissinger quote:

"American soldiers are dumb animals to be used in the furtherance of 'our' foreign policy. Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or 'promulgated,' that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this 'scenario', individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government. NAFTA is a major stepping stone to the New World Order."


Favorite because it clearly shows the mindset of the PNAC criminals.

28. Most people, even DUers, have no clue how close this nation was to New World Order
and if it hadn't been for the uncovering of IranContra and BCCI, we would be well into our second decade of New World Order by now.

30. I agree. In fact, they used the 90s to acquire MORE power and come back stronger
Edited on Wed Jan-31-07 02:33 PM by blm
once they got the Bushboy in office.

I do not want the next Democratic administration to just be the FRIENDLY face of fascism that will lull us once again into thinking all is right because a Democrat is in the oval office - this country needs an anti-corruption, open government Democrat to open the books on BushInc once and for all.
