Michael Stephen Levinson for President of United
States!
FBI In Our Newsrooms
Michael Stephen Levinson
Candidate for President
Dan Rather, former CBS News icon, was on an MSNBC cable show hosted by
Tucker Carlson. Carlson's blabberifics regularly pontificated on
the presidential race. Tucker holds his own rigid views, issue spins,
then and now that barely qualify as news.
With decades as a seasoned journalist, Rather was hesitant. He prefers
genuine reporting to talk show blabber. He did not appear comfortable
engaging in Tucker's blabberific discourse. Dan Rather plaintively
remarked, "There's something wrong with the press, with our news
coverage. We aren't asking the right questions." Those weren't Rather's
exact words, but that was the gist of what Dan said.
I was a candidate and I'm still a candidate for president. My unique
understanding of this Fourth Estate prob limb is good reason to
elect me, because i am going to do something about it. Dan Rather is
correct, though he was unable to articulate what troubles both him and
us, because we all feel there is something amiss with our Fourth Estate.
Let me explain the how and why, driving Dan's chagrin, what he was unable
to put his finger on, and part of my plan, as president, to make things
right.
Once upon a time, on the eve of The Pentagon Papers publication,
President Nixon, angry, and fit to be tied about the issue of the coming
release of The Pentagon Papers, summoned FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to
the White House. This was noted in the news, but their conversation was
not recorded. They quietly met in the Old Executive Office Building,
actually in Nixon's preferred office, a sidewalk from the White House,
where year round, there or not, Nixon kept the fireplace burning.
The two men had drinks. Nixon wanted to know what Hoover could do to
stop future news events like the Pentagon Papers publication from ever
reoccurring. Did Hoover have any plans for FBI to infiltrate the
newspapers with "their own people," getting onto editorial boards, to
counter editorialists attacking the government's policies.
Hoover explained he was 100% with Nixon on that issue, and had an
on-going campus operation with that very goal in mind. To quell the
growing anti-war movement on campus, Hoover explained, FBI had "their own
people"- provocateurs smashing windows and trashing furniture.
This was a necessity, J. Edgarina, the pharaoh of fascists explained,
to convince reluctant university presidents that having new student
governments, to replace the open voting polity governments' open mikes,
used for non-stop anti-war rallies, was the only play for these,
generally, hands off University presidents to make, to protect the
millions of federal dollars coming their way.
In light of the revolutionary anti-government activities by Marxist
Leninist students, the Vietnam war their excuse, new Student (government)
Associations, not easily infiltrated by Marxists, more appealing to
conservative student leaders instead of draft dodging long hairs, was a
better idea for university student governance. This was an idea FBI was
pushing on all the state university campuses. Bureaucracy would save the
furniture.
At the same time, as Hoover explained to Nixon, FBI was getting into
school newspapers with their own people, the plan: get them admitted into
grad schools for training as professional journalists. Upon graduation,
they would be hired, their goal, greased with FBI stipends on the side,
positions on the editorial boards of the daily papers. It was a long-term
domestic counter intelligence program. There wasn't going to be any
Pentagon Papers repeats. This press dilution would be a blessing for all
our future presidents.
One of Hoover's targets was The Spectrum, "the official
newspaper of the students" at State University of New York at Buffalo.
There may've been other papers Hoover targeted, but The Spectrum
at UB is the paper I, Michael Stephen Levinson, happen to be most
familiar with.
Originally, anyone could join The Spectrum and write for it. At
the end of the year the editors and staff held an annual meeting where
all who worked on the paper had a voice and a vote and anyone, student
member, or community person, could stand for editor-in-chief.
You wrote a letter to the editor, stating which editorship you thought
you were made for. You stood before the full staff, and stated your case.
Then you and whoever else sought the job went out in the hall. The staff
discussed the candidates, and voted by secret paper ballot.
In 1970, at the height of student unrest, The Spectrum was top
shelf, an award winning college newspaper. Coincidentally, Jack
Anderson's Washington Merry Go Round was in the habit of taking on
The Spectrum's graduating editors-in-chiefs for internships,
another reason for J. Edgar Hoover, who hated Jack Anderson, to go after
that paper.
Against this backdrop, a pre-law student, Dennis Arnold, managed
to be voted in as the editor-in-chief, and Dennis decided, because the
paper was so strong, he would "take the paper private." It operated in
student space, in the student union, but under Dennis Arnold's tutelage
the paper became a private educational purposes corporation, with by-laws
created by the editor-in-chief. The corporate by-laws, governing The
Spectrum, weren't voted for, or ratified; they were simply installed.
The By-laws began with chicken and the egg: "The business and affairs
of The Spectrum shall be conducted by its members." "Membership
Criteria: The membership shall consist of the editorial board, as
designed and appointed by the chairman. "What came first? The chicken or
the egg?" "You choose me, editor-in-chief. I'll appoint you sports editor
and raise your stipend." The life blood of the paper, the staff was cut
out.
Within a few years The Spectrum was an unread, moribund waste
of stew dent time, reflecting the editor's, not the school's
issues. At first, the paper, coasting on its award winning reputation,
was a stepping-stone into grad schools for its journalists. The editors
used The Spectrum for building a resume, and installed their
chosen protege to carry on their policies. As fast as the writing talent
dribbled down, so went the overall quality ofThe Spectrum. There
wasn't any room for advancement unless you were the editor's friend.
Enthusiastic incoming writers were always giving up and moving on.
Years later the corporate by-laws were brought to a university
adminis traitor's attention. The Vice-president for University
Affairs, Ronald Stein stated, "I don't need to see the by-laws. I'm sure
they're very closed, very insular. FBI also has a copy of the by-laws in
their files." Stein brought up FBI's involve, not this journalist.
What business would FBI have in the internal structure of any college
newspaper, except to paper a path into grad schools for "their own
people?"
Against this backdrop an undergraduate FBI hire, Jay Rosen, sauntered
in the door, and went through the motions of talking his way into joining
the paper, an adminis traitor having pre-set that, tit-for-tat,
with the editor-in-chief, in advance. Rosen was instantly an op-ed
columnist, appointed the managing editor soon after, and then, at The
Spectrum annual board meeting, reluctantly voted for by the outgoing
editorial board, editor-in-chief.
Before Rosen arrived on the campus, there had been a referendum on
forming a new student government, for course credit instead of money,
sponsored by Michael Stephen Levinson. The Spectrum
editor-in-chief named it The Leverendum. Ask Al Gore whether that
measure passed or failed. The vote was delayed until exam week, without
voting machines, held in one location, and run by the very people whose
financial powers were being voted down.
As managing editor, out of the blue, without even interviewing the
author and instigator of the petition for referendum, Rosen wrote what he
claimed was a historical piece, mocking the government for course credit
concept, and labeled this author "the anathematic Lev", and, "the madman
Lev." The editor-in-chief when this travesty took place, into heavy pot
smoking all day long, didn't read Rosen's article in advance.
Rosen's article was way over the line, not only what he wrote about
the "campus prophet," the man inspired with the "mull tie ling well,"
Television Scripture, written down to perform on world wide television
for all man kind, but the manner Rosen used to demolish the government
for course credit concept. When this happened it seemed Rosen was seeking
to make points with the lay out group who actually determined the paper's
look during that moribund period. At least one of that lay out gang, it
is shown beyond any shadow, in "New World Hors D'oeuvres", was an FBI
contract employee whose wife today, sits on the editorial board of The
Washington Post.
In the event she attends The Washington Post editorial Board meetings
with her purse - then you can believe every word spoken there is being
recorded.
Years later I realized that professor Jay Rosen, today a Department
Chair in Journal ism at NYU was FBI connected from the beginning. It was
with FBI's guidance he wrote the scurrilous article, attacking and
trashing the idea of an Undergraduate House of Representatives, empowered
to investigate the whole university, the undergraduate grading based on
the log books they student Members of the House kept up as Secretary's,
not how the student Members voted on any issue.
The federal government, specifically the FBI will totally stonewall
any request put, under the Freedom of Information Act about Professor Jay
Rosen, but proving Rosen's initial and to this day ongoing FBI connect is
a simple investigative matter.
Upon election, every thing Rosen did is coming out in the wash. I plan
Undergraduate Houses of Representatives for every school in USA, or
freeze their school's research dollars. The student bodies at large will
have an elective course, over-seeing their millions of stew dent
activities dollars. The undergrads will practice expository writing,
every Member Recording Secretary, their grades based on the quality of
their writing, as Members of the Undergraduate House of Representatives.
It was a good idea thirty years ago and in light of the Bush presidency,
a better idea today, to inspire a fresh generation of genuine leaders to
serve instead of feeding off the public trough.
There is also a flaw in every college newspaper charter that needs
repair, that for another op-ed piece. Hint: The student newspapers are
funded by student fees, but we don't know who publishes these college
papers. The mastheads don't show a publisher's chair.
Rosen's editorship at The Spectrum was three decades ago. There
are professors at that university who today remember Rosen the most
vicious editor in the school's whole newspaper history! Rosen used the
thrice-weekly paper to destroy the people he hated. He dismissed the
black students who wanted to become journalists. With a wave of his arm
he threw them out the news room door by the colors of their skin.
Fascists in our newsrooms want this web site essay trashed, kept from
the light of day, to protect their high priest professor Rosen. But were
publishers to seek a book on truth telling for journalists, one could
take a dozen of Rosen-edited papers, reexamine the issues and people
whose lives he mean spiritedly distorted, get at the truth behind, and
reprint both. It would be the end all standard text on ethics for
journalists.
Rosen's university education began with a lackluster incomplete year
at a university in Pennsylvania, followed by a year at Buffalo State
Teachers College. From there, he transferred into SUNYAB, but not without
FBI string pulling, as the courses he'd taken, and his grades at "Buff
State," didn't support or merit the move up. Rosen's undergraduate
transcript, at least 60%, is "independent study," violating the
university regulations. Over a flap at Harvard, in 1978, CIA head
Stansfield Turner remarked, "We are above the rules and regulations of
these institutions of higher learning." For J. Edgar Hoover's counter
intelligence modus, Rosen's bogus undergraduate work was par. They are
above the rules and regulations of these (our) institutions.
All of Rosen's sixty four hours plus of independent study were
awarded to him by one graduate student. That suspicious fellow, Stew
Dent Stirutsky, in fact, Michael Sartisky, was exposed to the English
Department as being an FBI plant. Upon that exposure, Jay Rosen's grad
student mentor was immediately graduated. With an unreadable Masters
thesis, gibberish in a year when there weren't any university positions
for shoddy composition teachers, Stirutsky was placed at a university in
Louisiana where he's remained, his reward, down a short road, to become
the President and Executive Director of the State of Louisiana Council on
the Arts, where Sartisky has been suppressing creative people ever since.
He is totally unfit to hold such a position, but the intelligence
aristocracy takes care of their own. Putting vicious bureaucrats in
positions to discourage creativity is part of the domestic counter
intelligence modus operandi.
In one of his books Rosen paints himself an innocent altruistic fellow
who interned at a newspaper after graduation, didn't take to becoming a
reporter, deciding instead to resign and go on to graduate school, to
study the craft of journal ism. Rosen did not resign his "internship" as
a reporter. He'd moved into a full time job at the Buffalo Courier
Express, and was let go for submitting an application to be a foreign
correspondent, to the Courier Express, packed with lies and self
aggrandizing misinformation, to Box X at the newspaper, for what Rosen
thought was a help wanted ad, placed in The Courier Express classifieds
by some other newspaper.
The Courier Express editors read his job application, responding to
"Wanted Foreign Correspondent," that packed with lies and misleading
misstatements. They called him into the editorial office and on the spot,
terminated his career at the paper. Rosen, kaput, went down to New York
City.
FBI pulled more strings to get him admitted to NYU. Strings had been
pulled to get him admitted to SUNYAB, and strings onto the school
newspaper as a columnist. FBI sent him to the Courier Express where he
flunked. More strings were pulled. He was admitted to grad school at NYU,
stayed there, and was awarded a Doctorate, in Journal ism. He has
remained at NYU ever since. Always power seeking, he rose to become
Department Chair. But without the FBI puppeteering, professor Jay Rosen
could not have been admitted to NYU in the first place.
One cannot matriculate at a graduate school on the strength of an
empty undergraduate transcript. His writing is awful. His Press Think
blog isn't writing! Rosen talks into his computer, and uses a voice
recognition program that turns speech into text. Rosen is so over blown
with himself he cannot change a word. Upon an investigation of NYU
records, there will also be a glowing positive letter on file from one
other professor besides the FBI grad student. It would be my pleasure to
write that famous, intelligence connected professor's name down on a
sheet, place it in an envelope, and do a Johnny Carson Karnack during a
meeting with editors and publishers. NYU needed something on file to
cover Rosen's empty transcript. The famous FBI connected professor
provided it.
It was clear to the university Community when Jay Rosen became
editor-in-chief of The Spectrum power was his motivator. Power has
driven Rosen's career. FBI stroked him early on that he would be an
"architect," above the writers, a high priest, decider-in-chief.
This is serious, I believe, close to Jason Bourne. Rosen, reading
this, is on the telephone demanding extreme prejudice. Bureaucracies are
vicious; his career is at stake from this essay and the publication of,
"New World Hors D'oeuvres." I'm ready to hold a conference call with
every editor-in-chief and newspaper publisher nationwide. During that
call I will gladly fill every blank, additional proof positive to back
every word - cold historical facts easily uncovered by a vigorous free
press.
I will also expose one other, an editorial board member at a very
prominent newspaper, referred to above, and also easily proven, an FBI
traveler. Each of these people, and others, J. Edgarina related, have
contributed to corrupting our free press. That is one of the underlying
reasons newspapers are failing every where. People want to believe their
news paper is telling the truth, but realize the opposite is so often the
order of the day! That is the J. Edgarina Jay Rosen effect.
Publishers and editors can examine the careers of those people
professor Rosen recommended to your papers. I suspect they all tend to
the bureaucratic, and seek roles as editors, their preference politics.
An examination of their immediate blood relatives will lead you back to
the intelligence aristocracy, the Pentagon, the Defense Department, the
majority, writers Rosen recommended. The Fourth Estate ought to clear its
own air. Clear Jay Rosen.
I will show you the way, as president. Upon my election these
prevaricators will be under the president's wing, in The President's
False Witness Protection Program, foreign correspondents. This is what
Dan Rather couldn't get his finger on. The FBI, using Jay Rosen, for one,
has stuffed our Fourth Estate First Amendment Avenue with their own,
following the Pentagon papers publication, to dilute our news reportage,
and confuse realities.
This essay, and others have gone to syndicates, for distribution, and
via fax to more than 100 newspapers. The essays are for sale. I
officiated my campaign for president, in New Hampshire. I officially
announced I am seeking the nomination of both political parties. In the
event any newspaper is willing to have me to their offices, to answer any
question, explain my views on any issue facing our nation, regardless the
next election is three and a half years away, and there is a meeting
including editorial board and staff, you will easily identify your likely
FBI in the wood pile, by their eyes, as they will be unable to disguise
their outrage at my presence.
