At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020.

As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design.

    Mandatory Credit: Bloomberg Politics and the Media Panel: Bridging the Political Divide in the 2012 Elections Breakfast NORMAN PEARLSTINE, CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER, BLOOMBERG, LP: Thank you very much to all of you for coming this afternoon for this panel discussion and welcome to the Bloomberg Link. This is a project that a number of my colleagues have been working very hard on to - to get in shape having had a similar facility in Tampa last week. And as Al Hunt is fond of reminding me, eight years ago, Bloomberg was sharing space as far away from the perimeter and I guess any press could be. I think sharing that space with Al Jazeera -- About four years ago, we certainly had a press presence in Denver and St. Paul, but this year, we're a whole lot more active and a lot more aggressive and I think that reflects all the things that Bloomberg has been doing to increase its presence in Washington where, in the last two years through an acquisition and a start up, we've gone from a 145 journalists working at Bloomberg News to close to 2,000 employees and that reflects in large part the acquisition of BNA last September but also the start up of Bloomberg Government, a web based subscription service. And so over the next few days, we welcome you to come back to the Bloomberg Link for a number of events and hopefully, you'll get a chance to meet a number of my colleagues in the process. I'm very happy that we are able to start our activities in Charlotte with this panel discussion today, not only because of the subject matter, which is so important to journalism and to politics, but also because, quite selfishly, it's given me a chance to partner with Jeff Cowan and Center for Communication Leadership and Policy in Los Angeles at Annenberg USC, which Jeff, I was happy to be a co-chair of your board so, it's good to be able to - each of us to convince the other we ought to do this.

  • Tech Edit Spotlight: the Wall Street Journal May 2009
    SWMS Editorial Teleconference Series: Tech Edit Spotlight: The Wall Street Journal May 2009 Well into its second year under the stewardship of News Corp., the Wall Street Journal remains an enigma. Its circulation has risen when virtually all competitors have retrenched. Most PR pros still view it as the place to be. But underneath the mighty brand, edit quality has slipped. Typos. Less thought leadership. Departures of key talent. But things could be worse. Iironically for those who feared the worst from Rupert Murdoch, only News Corp.’s deep pockets have kept the WSJ from the fiscal pain affecting every other newspaper in America. The WSJ remains the most powerful editorial brand there is. SWMS Webinar Link The Mission From a business standpoint, the WSJ cares about the collision of telecom- munications and computing as it affects society. And in The Journal’s esti- mation, society is all about markets. Retailing, customer service... technol- ogy, and particularly communications technologies have radically trans- formed every single business there is, which is why The Wall Street Journal cares about it. Kill The Times, Kill The Post, and don’t be boring. Write breaking news. Priority #1: Beat The New York Times. Priority #2: Marcus Brauchli and The Washington Post. Brauchli is a former Wall Street Jour- SWMS Teleconference nal managing editor. There seems to be a personal vendetta going on, not only to take down Links & Insight The New York Times, but Murdoch also intends to put pressure on The Washington Post as well by putting the resources in Washington D.C.
