Judith Miller Takes Job At Manhattan Institute

New York:

Judith Miller, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times correspondent that pushed all the Bush administration spin about the (so-far non-existent) existence of WMD in Iraq, has finally come home. She's taken a job with the friends of "greater economic choice and individual responsibility" at the Manhattan Institute. She's written for their City Journal quarterly before, so look for more stories from her on the cop beat. "The Manhattan Institute is doing pioneering work in policing and counter-terrorism," Miller said in a release today. "As an adjunct fellow, I hope to continue writing about how best to enhance national security and public safety without sacrificing our freedom and civil liberties."

"As an adjunct fellow, I hope to continue writing about how best to enhance national security and public safety without sacrificing our freedom and civil liberties."

Then why, oh why did Miller team with and promote the Neo Con agenda, which harmed our nation's anti-WMD program in order to push preemption and the PNAC?

What a crock.

The last thing Neo Cons want to accomplish is the preservation of America's pillars of freedom.

Lethal preemption is the tool of totalitarians. It is one of their defining characteristics. Miller is one of it's proponents, and it amazes that she has the gall to poke her head out into the light once again.

I think we've experienced more than enough ideological charm from the farthest right. Time to turn off Leo Strauss and turn on Thomas Jefferson.

The American Likudnics take care of their own.

You know what this means, next time PBS news needs dredge up panel 'expert' they've got a new 'named' think-tank slug to invite instead of bothing to find someone who knows what they're talking about. Whenever I see these think-tankers on panel shows I think "Whouldn't have been more convenient to have the fax of the day's RNC talking points just superimposed on the screen?"

The "Manhattan Institute"?

You mean wingnut welfare. Step up to the trough.

Well, you didn't expect her to land a job as a real journalist, did you?

The money's really good, no doubt, but I suspect she's embarrassed by her new position. How tacky.

The Manhattan Institute also lead the war against the poorest most needy Americans, and tried to crush the American safety net, and all and any welfare..!

She'll fit right in..!

Here is another scholar, Peter Huber
touting electronic surveillance.

""If Orwell had doublethought his telescreen to its logical conclusion, he would have foreseen the day in which the proles do the watching and the Party is whipped into submission­."...Huber

See internet cameras are good, because we, the proles, will watch Bush on them and control him. I notice how the Barney Cam has gotten us out of the Iraq War.

What, no openings at Faux News?

[ww]

No, Ms Miller. We were F'ing right about YOU.

No matter how they craft their "institutional" facades, the stench of globalist fascism permeates the air as soon as the door is opened.

The American Enterprise Institute, the Hoover Institute, and the Manhattan Institute simply adore the look and feel of the word institute because it invokes a sense of legitimacy and constructivism and higher thinking. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are no different than any other totalitarian organizations needing to hide their true identity. They are the John Birch Society on steroids and easily top any nationalist socialist movement in the last seventy-five years. Institutes, indeed.

Hardly the coffee maker, what's even more insidious is the aim of her propaganda writing now for the City Journal, newspaper of said MI Think Tank: the real threat from homegrown TMDs Terrorists of Mass Destruction....

...the research for which was funded (as with nearly every CJ article/essay) by these preternatural hunters of democracy (try researching Them)...

Take this cushy job and keep your mouth shut or the Grand Old Mob may have to take a closer look at your past tax returns.

Conservative think tank? Oxymoron!

Spectacularly unsurprising move from the propaganditrix who did more than any other media figure to get us into the Iraq war. I wish her only ill.
