The Center for American Progress, a non-profit progressive think tank organization under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue code. The Center is run by former Clinton chief and Obama transition director John Podesta (and funded in part by George Soros). Although they claim to be non partisan, think progress is a key part of Obama's drive to drive the progressive agenda down America's throat. One of the Center For American Progress' "subsidiaries" is Media Matters, the media website that attacks anything conservative. Another project of theirs is the blog,Think Progress.
Yesterday, Think Progress made a scoop that was more of a pooper scooper. They reported that telecom companies were “hiring front groups and Astroturf operatives†to fight Net Neutrality, the FCC’s attempt to take over the internet. Think Progress goes on to boldly brag how they got their hands on a secret Power Point presentation called “Net Brutality†which shows the telecom’s secret plan to stop the FCC’s takeover.
“The document calls for targeting "video gamers" and "social conservative activists" with anti-government messages. It also calls for creating a faux Chinese blog to compare net neutrality to Chinese government censorship.â€On first glance it seems like John Podesta's folks dug up an incredible scoop. But first glances are often wrong. According to CNET News this “ top secret†presentation was merely an entry in a student contest run by the Atlas Economic Research Foundation's "think tank MBA" program. The presentation was given at an event in Florida and then posted on the Atlas website. Essentially, the Power Point is nothing more than a project put together by student contestants – and far from a secret. Unless the telecoms are like the IPCC, they wont be using student projects for their anti-Government takeover of the internet plan, especially one that was the third-place entry.
