U. N. Drama Unfolds, Times Runs Wire Copy
The New York Observer ^ | July 19, 2006 | Niall Stanage

The story had everything: secret agents, political intrigue, personal betrayal and cash. Lots and lots of cash.

Yet, for all that, a remarkable trial that ended last week in a Manhattan courtroom—a proceeding that implicated figures in the highest echelons of international politics—was barely mentioned in the major American press. If it weren’t for the journalistic wing of the conservative movement, outlets like the National Review Online and The New York Sun, it might not have been covered at all.

Take the events of last Thursday, for example. After two weeks of testimony, a jury took only a few hours to convict a South Korean national, Tongsun Park, of acting as an unregistered agent of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. The conspiracy of which he was a part ran for 10 years, ending in late 2002, and helped one of the world’s worst regimes maintain its grip on power.

But The New York Times did not assign a reporter to his trial, its total coverage amounting to a brief wire report on the day following Mr. Park’s conviction. Of the other major national dailies, The Washington Post ran a single news-brief item, the Los Angeles Times not a word.

Tongsun Park... the name sounds familiar.

From Wikipedia:

Tongsun Park was a figure in the Koreagate scandal of the 1970s with a reputation as the "Asian Great Gatsby", a socialite who charmed congressmen with his Washington dinner parties and cash payments. He resurfaced in 2005 in the oil-for-food scandal.

How many Freepers, who hate the NY Slimes, are supporting the NY Slimes with their mutual funds. Without mutual funds owning the NY Slimes non voting stock, the NYT would be in real trouble.

How do I find out if my mutual funds own NYT Stock, and what can I do if they do?

Here is something, we can all do today 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 stop the fund company wasting our precious investment capital 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, and any mutual fund daring to buy their stock to support treason and sedition by the NY Slimes.

TODAY, SELL/TRADE MUTUAL FUNDS OWNING NYT!!!:

 

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 treasonous/seditious 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. On 21 July 2006, NYT closed at the low for this decade. If your mutual fund owns, NYT, was the investment of yours and others a political bailout of the NY Slimes?

    The link below will take you to the SEC site and enable you to use the email form shown on this page. Or you can print the form, fill it out and mail it to the SEC.


    https://tts.sec.gov/acts-ics/do/complaint


  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 selling/trading any mutual fund, which owns NYT, than trying to boycott companies which sell to the elite liberals of NYC and advertise in the NY Slimes.

Just proves that the Times is a communist front organization.

It's a prime example of what we're here for.

Thanks for the kind words.

In the 2004 elections, I discovered that a couple of my funds and my wive's in another mutual fund company owned a fair size % of NYT, WPO and TRB stock.

This was before the treason aspect, and I sold those funds or exchanged them and sent emails to the fund company. I never got a reply, but both companies started selling a fair amount of those fish wraps.

With the treason aspect and the poor stock performance of the dinosaur fishwraps in the past two years, they have to respond to our selling and trading of funds or be in worse trouble down the road.

WPO = stock symbol for Washington Compost

TRB = stock symbol fore Tribune which owns LA Slimes and Chicago Tribune.
