NY Times wants Congress to codify leaks
Stop the New York Times ^ | July 9, 2006

Posted on 07/10/2006 6:51:14 AM PDT by Sergeant Tim

Share secrets with the enemy and their lawyers, the NY Times says --

Yesterday's New York Times editorial said Congress should make sharing secrets with the enemy the law of the land:

“...Congress could create a new kind of military commission, operating as closely as possible to United States military law. That is the proposal of Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, one of the Senate’s experts on military law, and Arlen Specter, the Judiciary Committee chairman. It sounds reasonable, as long as lawmakers resist pressure from the administration to deny the prisoners any real rights, barring them from seeing classified evidence...”
The editors of New York Times apparently do not like the term ‘unlawful combatants’ for they referred to them only as, “terrorists who are not in any army.” Unfortunately, for them, our Supreme Court has consistently recognized unlawful combatants do exist...

Here is something, we can all do this week to start eliminating the NY Slimes as a threat to our nation's security. We can do it at our computers and do it in less than 1 hour. Besides sending a severe warning to the NY Slimes and the mutual fund companies who buy NY Slimes stock, we will improve our precious investment capital being wasted on NY Slimes stock.

If a few thousand freepers did this simple action this week and a few thousand new freepers, friends and relatives each following week, we will have a terminal impact on the NY Slimes acts of sedition. Please send this how to your blogs, friends, relatives and email lists. This action will serve as a cannon shot across the bows fo the other Dinosaur Liberal Fish Wraps re sedition will not be tolerated any more.

INSTRUCTIONS FROM Grampa Dave:

 

Want to smash the NY Slimes?
Check your mutual funds to see if they own NYT, the NY Slimes Stock

 

 

How many of us own mutual funds which own NY Slimes stock and even worse have increased their NYT holdings this year.

NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s.

Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours.

Go to this link to see if your mutual fund owns NYT.

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/ownership/ownership.asp

When the MS Money stock home page comes up, enter NYT into the search area and hit enter and the following screen will show up re ownership of the NY Slimes stock:

The New York Times Company: Ownership Information

  • Shares Outstanding 145.00 Mil

  • Institutional Ownership (%) 83.40

  • Top 10 Institutions (%) 58.60

  • Mutual Fund Ownership (%) 42.64

  • 5%/Insider Ownership (%) 7.77

  • Float (%)

Highlight the Mutual Fund Ownership and hit enter.

If thousands of Freepers, whose mutual funds own shares of NY Slimes did the following:

  1. Sell those mutual funds or trade them for funds not owning NYT.

  2. Send a letter to the fund managers and the CEO's of the mutual fund company telling them why you sold/transferred their mutual fund owning NY Slimes stock. Then demand to know why they are wasting your precious $'s on a treason/sedition company which is a terrible investment.

  3. Contact the SEC to investigate why this mutual fund and mutual fund company invested your $'s in one of the worse investments of the past 2 years. Was the investment of yours and others a political bailout of the NY Slimes.

  4. Send this how to re Mutual Funds with NYT stock to everyone on your email list for a wakeup call.

We might have a lot more impact than trying to boycott companies which sell to the elite liberals of NYC and advertise in the NY Slimes.

I did it last year.

Have you done, or will you just snipe at those of us who do something as usual?

So let me get this straight. Now we are going to codify the meaning of traitors to the country? What am I missing here?

In 2005, I had two Fidelity funds which had about 2% holdings, and they dropped their holdings after I sold/traded them and contacted Fido.

None of my Fido funds have NYT in their top 25 holdings.

Vanguard has shed a lot of NYT in the past year. Most of their holdings are the % of the S&P 500 that NYT represents or maybe the Mid Cap Index. That is a valid ownership.

Also, any freeper living in NY after selling or trading their mutual funds because of NY Slimes ownership should send copies to their worthless AG, and ask him why he is pushing for gay marriage while allowing this mutual fund stock ownership travesty to be happening. That could create a real hot political potato for this very dangerous liberal AG.

Last but not least, a couple of moderate friends have traded/sold their funds with NYT stock because it is a terrible investment. When they saw that chart, they couldn't believe the two year loss in value.

Thanks

As far as I can tell, none of my fund investments hold NYT. I have one more to check out, It's a Fidelity, but I don't know without go through some paperwork which ones. But I think it's a great idea...on so many levels.

Those who take these actions might also note that NY Times stock has not only steadily decreased in value, but it is worthless for other reasons.

The stockholders have no voting rights. The Sulzbergers own the special shares that control the company. Ordinary common stockholders have no recourse if they think the company is being mismanaged.

A stock with no voting rights is, in the long run, worthless, because it depends on the business acumen of an idiot who cannot be removed for malfeasance, mismanagement, or even criminal behavior.

This is where that MSN link comes in handy.

Go to the link and enter the 5 letter symbol for your fund in the blank near the top of the page.

When it comes up, go to the left hand column and click the ownership column. Then you can see listed the top 25 companies owned by that fund. It takes about 30 seconds once you enter the 5 letter fund symbol.

Print that page out if your fund has NYT in the top 25, and sell it or trade for one that doesn't. Then send it in a letter to FIDO with your complaint re the bad investment and the sedition actions of the NY Slimes ownership.

Before I buy any mutual fund, I do the ownership check. If the Fund owns NYT or any of the other major dinosaur fish wraps, I don't buy it.

Then, at least once a quarter I check the ownership of our funds to see what has crept in. I avoid owning Geico, Progressive and other Buffet controlled stocks.

Thanks for posting this.

Poor genetics combined with Liberal hatred of America do not make good a good business base. Then as you note in your reply, the stock ownership for the rest of us is an exercise in being powerless. Which is why they have gotten by with the terrible two years of bad performance.

"As far as I can tell, none of my fund investments hold NYT. I have one more to check out, It's a Fidelity, but I don't know without go through some paperwork which ones. But I think it's a great idea...on so many levels."

Absolutely, a couple of our moderate friends bailed out on mutual funds owning NYT because of the bad investment. They asked what other bad investments and I gave them the 3 letter stock indexes for the other major dinosaur fishwraps. They were amazed at the ownership of those stocks by mutual funds. I responded, investing in most liberal owned companies has not been a good investment since early 2000, and it has become worse for most liberal owned companies since Clintoon left office.

Liz and I have been noting on Free Republic for about 5 years, investing in liberal controlled companies is often a bad investment.
