Issues concerning a reposted December 2007 ‘Democracy Now!’ interview with Lou Dobbs

The news outlet Democracy Now! has posted an article and archived interview on its website of Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez speaking with CNN anchor Lou Dobbs concerning the issue of undocumented immigration, giving a false impression that Dobbs is an inaccurate and racist journalist, without mentioning that Dobbs had answered the criticism during the interview.

A link on the homepage leads to a distorted article entitled "The Dubious Mr. Dobbs," and another link elsewhere on the site links to an “in between” page which contains only certain brief and distorted points from a December 2007 interview concerning issues of undocumented immigration, and it is then necessary to click on another link to reach the page containing the actual audio interview which is buried behind ten minutes of outdated news stories on the audio clip. (Incidentally one of the news stories criticizes George Bush for his use of extraordinary rendition, torture, and denying Habeas Corpus— all of which are practices that the Obama Administration is continuing, as well as his administration supporting renewal of Bush-era Patriot Act provisions which were enacted in response the September 11 attacks.)

The issue of undocumented immigration is complicated and controversial, and many are led to believe that it is bigoted to mention the issue at all, even for those who would like undocumented workers to be given a path to citizenship. Such attitudes are often intentionally reinforced by media outlets in order to conceal little-known bigger picture globalist agendas such as the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), the implementation of the NAFTA Superhighway system, and the upcoming North American Union (NAU).

Many people are under the impression that undocumented immigration issues are not deeper than issues concerning people living and working in the country without officially being citizens and having potential of being exploited, but a bigger picture also exists of long-term globalist agendas being implemented for fully consolidating the populations, highways, militaries, and monetary systems of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Although many people are somewhat aware of this agenda, often they are not aware of the drawbacks associated with it— including current U.S. Constitutional rights being superseded by new repressive international laws, further deindustrialization of the United States and conversion to a “feudalistic” type of managed economy which is controlled by international banks that are privately owned by a handful of unelected globalist elite individuals, among many other issues. (See Endgame Segment - How the Bilderberg Group is Secretly Merging the North American Continent, and Refutation of Claims of the Trans-Texas Corridor Project Being Cancelled.)

It is important that no people are deprived of their human rights or discriminated against due to their race or ethnicity, but many media outlets often strategically make use of “political correctness” as a shield in order to keep their well-meaning listeners unaware of deceptive and dangerous globalist agendas. It is shown that highly influential political organizations such as the Ford Foundation and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) are strong backers of news outlets such as Democracy Now! and NPR— with both outlets having a highly tasteful cultivated image and influential audiences, and such outlets often abuse their status through disseminating disinformation concerning important globalism related issues. (See Behind the Big News: Clip 2 of 3, How the CFR Controls the American Media.)

Another example of such media outlets disseminating disinformation for the benefit of forwarding agendas of globalist backers would be their uncritical support of major treaties and legislation associated with global warming which have been shown to be deceptive, benefiting corrupt elites, and proven not to be an actual effective solution to the effects of global warming no matter what the reality of the climate science actually is. (See The Politics of Global Warming.)

Lou Dobbs has recently resigned from his position at CNN after being the last of the news organization’s original anchors, and he is considering a 2012 Presidential Run.




Following is the written description posted on the Democracy Now! page containing the Lou Dobbs interview. Listening to the actual interview reveals that the points listed are isolated misrepresentations which are not indicative of Lou Dobbs’ reporting, yet those points are continually harped on by Goodman and Gonzalez in the interview despite Dobbs having clarified the issues:


In a wide-ranging interview, CNN anchor Lou Dobbs joins Democracy Now! for the hour to discuss:

— His claim that a “third of our prison population” are illegal aliens (according to the Justice Department about 6 percent of the state and federal prison population are non-citizens)

— Why white supremacists have appeared on Lou Dobbs Tonight without disclosure over their ties to hate groups

— His show’s reporting on leprosy and immigration. A 2005 report on Lou Dobbs Tonight claimed there had been 7,000 new cases of leprosy in the U.S. over the past three years. In fact, there have been 7,000 cases reported over the past 30 years

— And more... [includes rush transcript]
