Jew PR (NPR): New Series: Trust In Government with Dual Citizen Traitor Philip Zelikow

[CrackSmokeRepublican]

NPR these days reminds me a lot of "Pop Psychology" .... a kind of dumbed down... "analysis" of the collective "Goyim" mind from a Talmudic-Zio-Jew perspective. Kind of how more and more Jew run media outlets, even those like  Zero-Hedge, are sounding these days... they sound like Jew apologists... even when the culprits are Jews out in the open...with commentary like:
 
 "Good Morning...okay...let's say your country is bankrupt ... and Goldman Sachs is scamming you for gas... and you find out you are getting over-charged for just about everything sold to you (by Jews)...  so how does that make you feel? Angry? Sad? Maybe a little disturbed? In a few moments,  we will have (fill in the blank for Jew Scam Expert- Media Darling- Jew PR Prop Rag artist)  and he will talk to us in a crisp, clever sounding voice about these issues with people like you...the "average Americans"  (Goyim deceived) who are genuinely concerned about their country...(endless unimportant Jew yapping follows..."

LIANE HANSEN, host:

This week, NPR begins a series of reports about the country's changing attitude toward the government and elected officials. Called Trust in Government, it's being done in cooperation with the Pew Research Center. Coming up, how public distrust of government changed a lawmaking process in California.

But first, to Philip Zelikow. He's a professor of history and an author of a book on why Americans don't trust government. He's at the University of Virginia and we reached him by phone. Welcome to the program.

Professor PHILIP ZELIKOW (History, University of Virginia): Thank you, Liane.

HANSEN: Given your perspective as someone who had studied presidencies from that historical standpoint, what do you think contributes to the culture of cynicism that seems to be ever-present in our politics?

Prof. ZELIKOW: Well, American attitudes towards government have gone up and down over the generations. What's new though is that the expectations we have from government have gotten a whole lot larger. Government has invaded economic management and the management of social relations to unprecedented degrees. And so, expectations of what government is supposed to do are way higher. And meanwhile, attitudes towards performance are pretty low, especially during a period of economic downturn like this.

Also, to a lot of Americans, government feels more distant. They feel further alienated from it. They don't feel they understand how decisions are made. And so, both trust is breaking down and the sense of responsiveness is breaking down.

HANSEN: An overall question: Isn't public skepticism necessary in a democracy?

Prof. ZELIKOW: Well, in fact, our particular democracy was kind of founded on public skepticism. But to put that in context, the founders were not so much skeptical about government per se as they were skeptical about concentrations of power. That was what they equated with tyranny. So, what they do is manage and limit the power of government by separating and dividing it and keeping it close.

HANSEN: Given that Americans' trust in its government has gone, you know, up and down probably more times than the stock market, is there a general way perhaps to say what effects there could be both long and short term of the public's lack of trust in government today?

Prof. ZELIKOW: Yeah. I think the answer to the so what question is, well, it matters if you actually want and need broad citizen engagement in what government is trying to do. If people increasingly feel that their lives are being driven by things that they don't understand and can't affect, they're going to react to that. And there can be healthy reactions to that and toxic reactions to that.

And we've seen some illustrations here and there around the world. I think it's important that Americans feel that they do have control over the basic communities in which they live and that government is creating a framework that manages these global forces, but within that framework, local communities have a lot of scope to figure out how they want to order their lives.

HANSEN: Philip Zelikow is a professor of history at the University of Virginia. He's also the author of a book on why Americans don't trust government. Thank you very much.

Prof. ZELIKOW: You're most welcome.

Thank Yahweh there's no "concentrations of power" in the United States:

Trying For NPR Job? Helps To Be Named 'Ari Shapiro"
By: Christopher Donovan (sent by Invictus) on: 14.01.2012 [00:02 ]
   
On the drive home from work the other day, I was listening to an NPR report on a math geek get-together in Boston.

What got my attention wasn't the story, but the name of the reporter: Ari Daniel Shapiro.

The insertion of the middle name "Daniel" was perplexing, until it became clear that they were trying distinguish him from NPR White House correspondent Ari Shapiro.

But then I had to laugh— really? Two Ari Shapiros, working for the same news organization? I mean, dismiss conspiracies about Jewish media control if you will, but this one is just too hilarious to ignore. Two (I presume) totally unrelated men, both with same first and last distinctly Jewish name, both talking up their take over the taxpayer-funded national public radio service.

The "greater" Ari: "GOP presidential candidates make bid for Jewish vote"

The "lesser" Ari: "Jewish holiday celebrated by Occupying Wall Street"

Whatever. Their tastes, their interests, their spin— they bend in a predictable fashion.

And of course, two Ari Shapiros isn't just a silly coincidence. It's a very real pattern of domination and exclusion. I note from the "greater Ari" bio how perfectly he fits the profile of the NPR preference: He's Jewish, he's gay (and "married"), he went to Yale, he's young, he sings for a group called Pink Martini. He's like the Nazi poster of the blond Aryan superman— substituting the NPR ideal for Hitler's. His mentor, Nina Totenberg, must be so proud.  

The "lesser" Ari (at least in terms of NPR appearances) is no slouch, either (St. Andrews, MIT), but his resume betrays a commitment to his own Jewish identity and liberal causes, when he's not focused on the science stuff.

Will Ari Daniel Shapiro, advocate for welfare recipients, give us a penetrating story on the morass of welfare scams in America? Nah.  

Wil Ari Shapiro, married gay man, give us a counterpoint essay on why gay marriage is a bad idea? Nope.

Will either Shapiro dig into the damning details of the immigration mess? Don't count on it.    

It's going to be the same journalists, touting the same ideas, using the same sources and pressing the same hostility to America's traditional majority. You really don't even need different names.
