Jeff Bezo, founder of Amazon, is buying the Washington Post for $250 million in cash.
He is a graduate of Princeton University, which you Glenn Beck fans know what that means.
He is also a member of the Bilderberger group (I’m shocked, I tell yoU!). His net worth is around $22 billion, making the Post chump change.
What, me worry?
At least Alex Jones will have something to talk about today.
By the way, there are rumors this week that Cox Media, privately owned by the Cox Family, let by the 92 year old daughter of the 1920 Democratic Presidential candidate for President is trying to unload the company, including their newspaper business. The rumored buyer is Charter Cable, but the rumor has been denied by Cox management. The also deny that they are talking with John Malone who owns 27% of Charter – he’s the guy who recently gained control of Sirius/XM
Let me formally announce my denial, “I have not been in talks with Cox Media to buy anything”.
Any relation to Tricia Nixon Cox?

I don’t think so, but possibly Wally Cox.
Tricia’s husband exemplifies the NE Republican establishment – Princeton, Woodrow Wilson school of business, Harvard Law – went to work for Ralph Nader, equally comfortable working for Democrats.
Here is the obituary for his dad

It makes no mention of the newspaper part of the family
Its creepy and its kooky

OMG – NJ 101.5 carried (carries?) Princeton sporting events!
Was there something else?
You don’t see the connection? Their high talk ratings are part of the Bilderberger plan dating back to the 80s. lol
I’m not positive that the Bilderbergers and the Woodrow Wilson Progessives are playing on the same team – in fact, I think they’re close to polar opposites. It was the progressives who wanted to break up the power of the large corporations
Check out all the big money of Bezos and the people that report to him that was used to re-elect incumbents of both incumbent political parties:

Really clever rich people give money to both sides.
They don’t. They generally give it to the incumbent side and forsake the challenger side.
Lobbiests from both sides too :

Bezo is a big supporter of Obama! Which is well known to the inside politicos.
Where will we get news once the newspapers are dead?
“What would the world do without the news?
You wouldn’t know when wars were started
Or when they ended, win or lose
It’d probably be a much better world
But the question would be, whose?
And what side you’re on and who’s right or wrong
You’d never have to choose ” – Stan Ridgway
“Imagine a world where there is nothing to live or die for – you can do it if you try.” Friedrich Nietzsche

Jeff Bozo, founder of Amazon, is going to get a good lesson in the internal thinking of liberal ‘story writers’ (aka, journalists). Once he closes on the deal to buy the Washington Post the real fun begins.
Predictions are he will come under attack by story writers for the WP.
The best Bozo can hope for is an across-the-board strike by the writers. At the least they won’t be complaining about Amazon’s hiring/firing policies, and the low hourly wages paid to Amazon employees.
It’s like Carl Burnstein said, “We need someone like Bozo…who has deep pockets.
