WHAT IS FARA?

FARA is short for the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as amended, 22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF FARA?

The purpose of FARA is to insure that the U.S. Government and the people of the United States are informed of the source of information (propaganda) and the identity of persons attempting to influence U.S. public opinion, policy, and laws. In 1938, FARA was Congress' response to the large number of German propaganda agents in the pre-WWII U.S..

THE ARKANSAS PROJECT


Keep An Eye On This Tom Cotton Fellow

June 7, 2009 David Kinkade

Everybody wants to be your senator! One name floated frequently as a potential candidate in recent months has been that of Thomas Cotton, a Yell County native and Harvard-educated lawyer who resigned his job with a D.C. law firm after 9/11 to enlist in the military. Right now he’s on active duty, but is expected to return home to Arkansas this summer.

Sources close to Cotton say that he’s taking a harder look at the 2010 Senate race and considering a challenge to Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln as a Republican.

While we’re on the subject and in case you missed it, The Tolbert Report noted Friday that North Little Rock businessman Tom Cox, one of the organizers of the Tea Party movement in central Arkansas, is considering jumping into this race. I’ve heard the same, so add that one to your watch list as well.

UPDATE 7/25/11: With Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Ross announcing he won’t run for re-election in Arkansas’ Fourth District in 2012, Cotton has reemerged as a potential candidate for Congress.

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers


This is the oddest thing
I ever heard of.
Let's hope we don't catch it.
I'd hate to wake up
some morning...
and find out you weren't you.
I'm not the high-school
kid you used to romance.
How could you tell?

Tom Cotton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas "Tom" Cotton (born May 13, 1977) is the U.S Representative from Arkansas's 4th congressional district.


In June 2006, Cotton gained fame after he wrote an open letter to the New York Times criticizing the paper's publication of an article detailing a Bush administration secret program monitoring terrorists' finances in which he called for three journalists, including the Times' editor, Bill Keller, to be imprisoned for espionage. The article was widely circulated online and reprinted in full in several newspapers.

Prisoner of War Medal


The Prisoner of War Medal is a military award of the United States armed forces which was authorized by Congress and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on 8 November 1985. The United States Code citation for the POW Medal statute is 10 U.S.C. § 1128.

The Prisoner of War Medal may be awarded to any person who was a prisoner of war after April 5, 1917, (the date of the United States entry into World War I was the 6th). It is awarded to any person who was taken prisoner or held captive while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing Armed Force; or while serving with friendly forces engaged in armed conflict against an opposing Armed Force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. As of an amendment to Title 10 of the United States Code in 1989, the medal is also awarded for captivity by foreign armed forces that are hostile to the United States, under circumstances which the Secretary concerned finds to have been comparable to those under which persons have generally been held captive by enemy armed forces during periods of armed conflict. The person's conduct, while in captivity, must have been honorable. This medal may be awarded posthumously to the surviving next of kin of the recipient.

The GOP Candidate Who Wants Journos Jailed

As an Army lieutenant in Iraq, Tom Cotton called for three journalists to be imprisoned for espionage. Now he's running for Congress.

—By Nick Baumann | Thu Nov. 10, 2011 3:00 AM PST


But few of the right's complaints about the Times' story got more traction—or struck more of a chord—than Cotton's letter. At the time, the PowerLine blog was riding high on its 2004 takedown of CBS anchor Dan Rather, and Cotton's piece received widespread circulation. Several papers reprinted the letter in full. Right-wing talker Hugh Hewitt mentioned it on CNN's Reliable Sources, complaining that the Times hadn't responded, and the Washington Times highlighted Cotton's argument in a story on the controversy.

Here's an excerpt from the letter:

You may think you have done a public service, but you have gravely endangered the lives of my soldiers and all other soldiers and innocent Iraqis here. Next time I hear that familiar explosion—or next time I feel it—I will wonder whether we could have stopped that bomb had you not instructed terrorists how to evade our financial surveillance.

And, by the way, having graduated from Harvard Law and practiced with a federal appellate judge and two Washington law firms before becoming an infantry officer, I am well-versed in the espionage laws relevant to this story and others—laws you have plainly violated. I hope that my colleagues at the Department of Justice match the courage of my soldiers here and prosecute you and your newspaper to the fullest extent of the law. By the time we return home, maybe you will be in your rightful place: not at the Pulitzer announcements, but behind bars.

Outside experts are skeptical of the idea of prosecuting journalists for publishing secrets. "The espionage act has never been used against journalists," explains Jay Rosen, a journalism professor at New York University. "When you accuse investigative journalists of espionage, you are essentially saying that they're working for another power, or aiding the enemy. That is culture war tactics taken to an extreme."

Lichtblau and Risen were never, of course, charged with espionage. But the Times took the controversy seriously enough that Keller penned a lengthy op-ed explaining how the paper made decisions about publishing secrets. In the piece, Keller noted that in September 2003 Treasury Secretary John Snow—one of the GOPers who had complained about the Times story—had invited reporters from the Times and other papers on a "six-day tour to show off the department's efforts to track terrorist financing." Keller's implication was clear: The conservative attack on the Times' reporting was insincere and opportunistic.*

Keller declined to comment for this story. "I've said my piece more than once on the Swift story and on the notion of using the Espionage Act against journalists," he wrote in an email. But Lichtblau sent this response:

The same First Amendment freedoms that allowed Lt. Cotton to put out his letter allowed us to publish our story on the SWIFT program, a decision that the newspaper's top editors did not make lightly. Our story clearly concerned a matter of great public interest that went to the heart of the debate over national security versus civil liberties, and there was no evidence at the time the story was published in 2006, or in the five years since, that it endangered American lives.

Nazi propaganda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Propaganda, the coordinated attempt to influence public opinion through the use of media, was skillfully used by the NSDAP in the years leading up to and during Adolf Hitler's leadership of Germany (1933–1945). National Socialist propaganda provided a crucial instrument for acquiring and maintaining power, and for the implementation of their policies, including the pursuit of total war and the extermination of millions of people in the Holocaust.


Nazi propaganda efforts then focused on creating external enemies.
