Propaganda, Health Care and ACORN: Full Context of NEA Conference Call Reveals Disturbing Pattern by John Nolte

At first glance, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) conference call of August 10th, 2009 sounds innocent enough because it’s supposedly been organized by Michael Skolnik, political director for Russell Simmons and someone not officially associated with any government agency. Skolnik appears to be acting independently as a concerned citizen and to have taken it upon himself to gather together a group of artists and art organizations hoping to move them towards “national service.” And how nice of the White House, the federal government and the NEA to make the time to participate in the call and aid this group of American artists motivated to help their country and community.

But this is only how things appear.

All evidence points to the fact that the conference call was a ruse, a front for a White House using Skolnik as a kind of beard in order to put an innocent spin on their abuse of the NEA and two non-partisan volunteer organizations (United We Serve – an initiative overseen by The Corporation for National and Community Service – a federal agency, and the White House’ Office of Public Engagement).

The goal: To motivate a group of hand-picked pro-Obama artists (grant recipients or those wanting grants) to push the President’s flagging agenda, especially health care — and to funnel this promotion through the ACORN related- Serve.gov website.

Documentation gathered by Big Hollywood’s Patrick Courrielche and the Washington Times, coupled with a newly revealed audio recording of the full conference call, points to eight troubling facts that put the full context of the call in a very disturbing light.

Yes, blatant communism, dictator worship, and festering corruption can all be considered disturbing.

I had been unaware that the Hollywood bunch and their "I pledge to be a servant to the president" was done for the inauguration, (I didn't watch any of that back in January), only knew of it from the parent who informed Glenn Beck that his child was shown it prior to the FirstDayofSchool speech that 0bama was giving, I thought it was produced in conjunction with that.

Now I know it was created all the way back in January, the serve.org (that sends you to serve.gov and on into government sites) promoted is run by the White House, the ACORN ties all over the thing, has Andrew Breitbart or anyone else looked into whether or not these celebrities received compensation for the video, not campaign funds but taxpayer dollars? Was there/is there anything illegal about that thing?

Privately funded propaganda machines is one thing (Soros, MoveOn.org, Huffington Post, WAPO, NYT, MSM), but for the government to COORDINATE, DIRECT, CONTROL and FUND these machines and individuals with TAXPAYER MONEY is illegal, criminal, and unconstitutional!

It’s, as usual, all about power and money. All of these people are living and becoming wealthy sucking taxpayer funds out of the government. All of these characters are involved in this extensive political propaganda machine because they are pocketing taxpayer funds. “Community organizing” is the scheme that exploits the culture of political corruption that dominates governments at all levels; cities, states, and federal.

Uh-oh... can't be using anti-gay language like that when referring to the "arts."

''Within days after this call Rock the Vote would launch a “health care design contest.”

A mere two days after the call a group of 21 art organizations endorsed health care reform.

Of those 21 organizations, “16 of the groups and affiliated organizations received nearly $2 million in grants from the National Endowment for the Arts in the 150 days before the conference call.”
