Ex-Publisher’s Suit Plays a Giuliani-Kerik Angle
By RUSS BUETTNER

Judith Regan, the former book publisher, says in a lawsuit filed today protesting her dismissal by the News Corporation, the media conglomerate, that a senior executive there encouraged her to lie to federal investigators about her past affair with Bernard B. Kerik after he had been nominated to become homeland security secretary in late 2004.

The lawsuit asserts that the News Corporation executive wanted to protect the presidential aspirations of Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Kerik’s mentor, who had appointed him New York City police commissioner and had recommended him for the federal post.

Ms. Regan makes the charge at the start of a 70-page filing that seeks $100 million in damages for what she says was a campaign to smear and discredit her by her bosses at HarperCollins and its parent company, News Corporation, after her project to publish a book with O.J. Simpson was abandoned amid a storm of protest.

In the civil complaint filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, Ms. Regan says the company has long sought to promote Mr. Giuliani’s ambitions. But the lawsuit does not elaborate on that charge, identify the executive who she says pressured her to mislead investigators, or offer details to support her claim.

In fact, the allegation about the executive makes up a small part of a much broader array of claims concerning what she says was her improper removal from a job atop one of the more commericially successful book publishing operations.

A News Corporation spokeswoman who declined to be named said that the company saw no merit in the filing.

Ms. Regan had an affair with Mr. Kerik, who is married, beginning in the spring of 2001, when her imprint, ReganBooks, began work on his memoir, “The Lost Son.” In December 2004, after the relationship had ended and shortly after Mr. Kerik’s homeland security nomination fell apart, newspapers reported that the two had carried on the affair at an apartment near ground zero that had been donated as a haven for rescue and recovery workers.

Mr. Kerik, who said he had withdrawn his nomination because of problems with his hiring of a nanny, was indicted last week on federal tax fraud and other charges.

“Defendants were well aware that Regan had a personal relationship with Kerik,” the complaint says. “In fact, a senior executive in the News Corporation organization told Regan that he believed she had information about Kerik that, if disclosed, would harm Giuliani’s presidential campaign. This executive advised Regan to lie to, and to withhold information from, investigators concerning Kerik.”

Roger Ailes and Rudy Giuliani’s Friendship Has Nothing to Do With the Presidential Hopeful Getting So Much Favorable Coverage

Fox News chief Roger Ailes was Rudy Giuliani’s media consultant for his first campaign for mayor in 1989. Giuliani performed Ailes’ wedding ceremony and, in 1996, helped secure Fox News a cable station in NYC when Time Warner wanted none of it. In unrelated news, FNC has given Giuliani more airtime than any of his Republican presidential competitors. [NYT]


http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2004/07/b122948.html

The Columbia Journalism Review reported that during New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's first term "News Corp. received a $20.7 million tax break for the mid-Manhattan office building that houses the Post, Fox News Channel, TV Guide and other operations. During Giuliani's 1997 reelection campaign, News Corp. was also angling for hefty city tax breaks and other incentives to set up a new printing plant in New York City. Most dramatically, Giuliani jumped in to aggressively champion News Corp. when it battled Time Warner over a slot for the Fox News Channel on Time Warner's local cable system…Three years into Giuliani's first term, veteran Village Voice political reporter Wayne Barrett asked Post editorial page editor Eric Breindel if the paper had run a single editorial critical of the administration; Breindel, he says, admitted it had not. According to Barrett, the paper pulled off a perfect four-year streak" of not one critical editorial. [Columbia Journalism Review, 6/98]

Fox News is merely part of the Hegalian Dialectic, albiet among the most sinister aspects of it.

Problem ~ Reaction ~ Solution.

Shiva. The quantity and magnitude of the suckers astonishes me.

[Green Lantern]

Hegel stresses the paradoxical nature of consciousness; he knows that the mind wants to know the whole truth, but that it cannot think without drawing a distinction. Unfortunately, every distinction has two terms, every argument has a counter-argument, and consciousness can only focus on one of these at a time. So it fixes first on the one, then under pressure fixes second on the other, until it finally comes to rest on the distinction itself. Hegel refers to this process of alternation and rest as dialectic. Dialectical motion has three stages: THESIS, ANTITHESIS, and SYNTHESIS.

Synthesis is not predetermined, Pete.

[shiva2999]

THESIS, ANTITHESIS, and SYNTHESIS.


2 + 2 = 4

2 + 2 = 5

2 + 2 = 4.5

[Green Lantern]

2 + 2 = 4

2 + 2 = 5

2 + 2 = 4.5

You know that is not true.

[shiva2999]

You know that is not true.

Indeed.

Sometimes synthesis is the tool of the devil.

[35Pete]

I could use obfuscation and prove the following

1+1 = 0 (Galois Field GF2 finite field arithmetic)

and it is ABSOLUTELY mathematically true. Better be. Or our PC's are an illusion.

[Green Lantern]

Indeed.

Sometimes synthesis is the tool of the devil.

Synthesis is just a step before confronting another antithesis though. The process describes intellectual growth, not ascertation of fact. All knowledge, an individual should know, is contingent. If you find out something is not true, you must go back and make new decisions based on the new information.

You need to define your parameters for that to be true, no?

fox news is a complete waste of time.
some people say they need to watch it to get 2 sides of a story but fox for news? complete garbage

[35Pete]

You need to define your parameters for that to be true, no?

Not really. Mathematically it is true. You think in decimal. I am thinking in a GF2 finite field. Technically I am correct. And that is the crux of a half-truth.

[nehemiah]

for hegel, synthesis is god.

it's absolutely predetermined.

methinks aqua has never actually read hegel.

and nehemiah is a brilliant man.

Why it is almost impossible for a layman to understand the Hegelian dialectic

Hegel's theory that philosophy is the ultimate achievement of the human spirit is extremely difficult reading for a well-educated person. It's almost like reading a foreign language to the average student, and it rings false to the "healthy instincts of the plain man."

Detective Phillip Worts' 2001 article Communist Oriented Policing is a nice explanation of the influence Dialectical Materialism has had on America.

Henry D. Aiken, a Professor of Philosophy at Harvard explains the Hegelian theory of no-reason in Introduction to the Age of Ideology:

"...Beginning with Kant, the very conception of the philosophical enterprise that had prevailed since the time of Aristotle underwent a profound sea-change, with the consequence that the meanings of even such basic terms of the traditional philosophical vocabulary as 'metaphysics' and 'logic' were altered beyond recognition... Much of the obscurity that pervades nineteenth-century philosophical writing is directly related to this fact."

Considering the power it wields, and how many people have embraced the ideology, it's amazing how very few people in the world will tell you they understand the Hegelian dialectic. That's because it was never written to be understood. Even Hegel's biographers call his writing "impenetrable" which means: "incapable of being penetrated or pierced," innaccessible to knowledge, reason or sympathy" and "incapable of being comprehended" (Merriam Webster).

At one point, Karl Marx planned to simplify Hegel for the "common man," but we have not been able find this explanation, if it exists.

We think there's a very simple explanation for why the Hegelian dialectic is not simple, and why it can never be simplified. While the American's 18th century political system ranks among the top modern scientific achievements, the 19th century's educated imperialist writers pursued the highest achievements in irrational thinking about thinking. Hegel is at the top of our list of the world's most irrational thinkers.

How is it possible to consider a Hegelian argument? If the ideas, interpretations of experiences, and the sources are all wrong, can a conclusion based on all these wrong premises be sound? The answer is no. Two false premises do not make a sound conclusion even if the argument follows the formula. Three, four, five, or six false premises do not all combine to make a conclusion sound. You must have at least one sound premise to reach a sound conclusion.

Logical mathematical formulas are only the basis for deductive reasoning. Equally important is knowledge of semantics, or considering the meanings of the words used in the argument. Just because an argument fits the formula, it does not necessarily make the conclusion sound. Hegel knew this when he designed his dialectic. He was an imperialist con-artist who established the principles of dialectical "no-reason." His dialectic has allowed globalists to lead the world by its nose into a superstitious, unreasonable, racist age of global dominance.

National governments are supposed to protect the common man from imperial controls over private property, trade and production. They insure their workers against imperial slavery by protecting markets. But if you use Hegel's twisted logic, the only way to protect people from slavery is to become a slave trader, just for a while.

Like Hegel and Marx, the best street con knows his spiel has to be based in truth to be successful, and good cons weave their lies on logic. This sort of twisted logic is why cons are so successful. Hegel twisted it in such a way as to be "impenetrable."

[Green Lantern]

Not really. Mathematically it is true. You think in decimal. I am thinking in a GF2 finite field. Technically I am correct. And that is the crux of a half-truth.

What is that if not arithmetic?

If Byron Muldoon's not guilty,as you seem to say,then why has Stephen Harper given the green light to look into the newest charges laid against him?

Human becomings. Yes. Thanks.sure thing.

nehemiah is happy to enlighten dolphin fans.
