PHOENIX (By Jon
Garrido, Hispanic News) April 30, 2008 The record of evidence is more than
hundreds of CNN broadcasts of Lou Dobbs Tonight. Promoted as
journalist reporting, Lou Dobbs
is a self interest
demagogue
who makes use of
popular prejudices, false claims and promises in order to gain ratings. Instead
of unbiased journalistic reporting, Lou Dobbs' "Broken Borders" is a theatrical
show with props and guests who are of the same opinion and state half truths who
do not fully disclose known facts.
Simple hatred and continuous ranting night after night do not constitute the
gravity of the charges in this indictment.
Rather, the charge is of conscious participation in a nationwide organized
system of cruelty and injustice in violation of every moral and legal principle
known to all civilized nations.
Hispanic News has carefully studied the record and found therein abundant
evidence to support beyond a reasonable doubt charges against CNN and Lou Dobbs.
The hidden agenda of
those who would profit by selling to the $1 Trillion Hispanic market is to do
the expedient, to look the other way.
To do what is
expedient and look the other way is a category with a growing list of members:
Kimberly Clark, AOL, CNN en Espaρol, Procter & Gamble, Albertsons, and General
Motors. All know the truth of Lou Dobbs and all support his
nightly bashing of Hispanics.
The most blatant
villain is General Motors who promotes national marketing campaigns to sell to
the ever increasing Hispanic market.
The
General Motors Corporation launched a new national marketing campaign,
General Motors' Sueρo Hispanic. G.M. wants to add
a twist to the sales come-on, "What can we do to put you in this car today?" It
wants to deliver it en Espaρol.
Fueled by the
financial clout of the growing Hispanic population, G.M. has had recruiting
events around the country, seeking bilingual Hispanic sales people to pitch
General Motors vehicles to their own community.
GM launched a new national marketing campaign, praising Hispanic Heroes.
The new National
Hispanic marketing campaign focused on the major crucial issue of G.M.'s falling
domestic market share.
To this category are added Procter &
Gamble, and Albertsons who have now partnered with CNN en Espaρol to sell to the
Hispanic market.
Every Hispanic in
the United States and Latin America should be informed about Lou Dobbs and CNN.
If CNN and CNN en Espaρol had their druthers, Hispanics around the world would
be kept in the dark about Lou Dobbs being the leader of fixing "Broken Borders."
Lou Dobbs
In his very skillful defense has asserted that there are others who must share
the ultimate responsibility for what happens in the United States.
There is truth in this.
The real complaining party in this indictment is: civilization.
Men who take part in
the enactment of laws and decrees the purpose of which is the removal and
criminalization of human beings.
The principle of
criminal law in every civilized society has this in common: Any person who sways
another to commit xenophobic hate mongering furnishes the lethal weapon for the
purpose of the crime and becomes an accessory to the crime is therefore: guilty.
Lou Dobbs further
asserts that he acts in what he thinks is in the best interest of the United
States.
There is truth in this also.
For Dobbs is a tragic figure.
We loath the evil he does but compassion for the present torture of his soul
must not beget forgetfulness of the torture (imprisonment, mental cruelty,
separating families, and in the desert: dehydration, sickness and death) and the
metal cruelty imposed by possible eradication by deportation leering behind
every corner a constant fear that tears at the very fabric of dignity.
Dobbs' record and his fate illuminate the most shattering truth that has emerged
from this indictment. If he and all of the others that appear on his broadcast
had been degraded perverts and if all of the leaders of the United States had
been sadistic monsters and maniacs then these events would have no more moral
significance than an earthquake, or any other natural catastrophe.
But this indictment has shown that under a national crisis ordinary, even able
and extraordinary men can delude themselves into the commission of hatred so
vast and heinous that they beggar the imagination.
No one who has viewed any Dobbs broadcast can ever forget them. The undocumented
sterilized because of expediency. A mockery made of friendship and faith.
The murder of children in the Arizona desert. How easily it can happen.
There are those in our own country, too, who today speak of the protection of
country of survival. A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the
very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat.
Then it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy to
rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way.
The answer to that is: Survival as what?
A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands
for.
It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult.
Before the people of the world let it now be noted that here in our decision,
this is what we stand for: Justice, truth, and the value of a single human
being.
