Definitely an interesting video. Does anyone have any specific contentions with the info conveyed in the video, or just that it's a fox affiliate?

Fox news has been caught lying too often, anything they report is filtered. If MSM wanted this info out then it was done for a reason IMO.
Have they reported on the criminal Rothchilds and Rockerfellers amd Morgans? Nope, untill then I dont believe a word anymore. Just my feelings.

A LOT of people dont understand what an affiliate station is. Many local 'fox' affiliates have done some great reporting around the country.
On Topic: Anyone know anything about the book he is mentioning? I'm interested in it, but imagine it might be tough to find at a local bookstore (not going to order it on amazon)
Griffin enrolled in the College for Financial Planning in Denver, Colorado, and became a Certified Financial Planner in 1989. He described the U.S. money system in his 1993 movie and 1994 book on the Federal Reserve System, The Creature from Jekyll Island. This popular book has been a business bestseller; it has been reprinted in Japanese, 2005, and German, 2006. The book also influenced Ron Paul during the writing of a chapter on money and the Federal Reserve in Paul's New York Times number-one bestseller, The Revolution: A Manifesto, which recommended Griffin's book on its "Reading List for a Free and Prosperous America".
The title refers to the November 1910 meeting at Jekyll Island, Georgia, of seven bankers and economic policymakers, who represented the financial elite of the Western world. The meeting was recounted by Forbes founder B. C. Forbes in 1916, and recalled by participant Frank Vanderlip as "the actual conception of what eventually became the Federal Reserve System". Griffin states that participant Paul Warburg describes the Jekyll Island meeting as "this most interesting conference concerning which Senator Aldrich pledged all participants to secrecy".
Griffin's work stresses the point which Federal Reserve chair Marriner Eccles made in Congressional testimony in 1941: "If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn't be any money." Griffin advocates against the debt-based fiat money system on several grounds, stating that it devours individual prosperity through inflation and it is used to perpetuate war. He also described a framework of central bankers underwriting both sides of an ongoing war or revolution. Griffin says that the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the World Bank are working to destroy American sovereignty through a system of world military and financial control, and he advocates for United States withdrawal from the United Nations.
Edward Flaherty, an academic economist, characterized Griffin's description of the secret meeting on Jekyll Island as "conspiratorial", "amateurish", and "suspect". Griffin's response was that Flaherty had miscategorized the book with other publications and had labeled all criticisms of the Federal Reserve as the results of conspiracy theory.
Griffin's advocation of a free-market, private-money system superior to the Fed caused economist Bernard von NotHaus to deploy such a system in 1998. Griffin states that von NotHaus's private silver certificates, known as Liberty Dollars, are "real money".

It's very telling, though, that Harry Reid, the Senate Democrat leader, won't allow a vote on it.

I believe the point you are pushing is as simple as, "if I don't like you your'e not riding in my car".
Fox only has to say no to airing this guy, yet they allow his material on their airspace.
This makes me suspicious as well.

Well over the years I've noticed that the smaller affiliate networks tend to produce a lot of amazingly unfiltered content, it's not just Ben Swann. I've seen it before on several smaller FOX affiliate channels where they appear to be allowed to speak much more openly and directly without some overlord dictating what they can and cannot say. It's 100% clear that Ben is railing against the puppet masters, I've seen more than enough of his work to convince me of that, but I don't particularly think there's any agenda here, I just think they have less control over what they can stop him from saying. If he goes too far then they probably will pull him off the air, just like Judge Napolitano.
I'm not debating Ben Swann's work but the fact that apparently FOX approves of it and is allowing it to be aired on their stations...and that's not even really a debate as it is something I'm just curious and skeptical about.edit on 1/8/2012 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)

that FOX logo at the bottom kinda sold me...I guess it should say RAYCOM then...if their only affiliated then why is it apparently a FOX channel playing his material? Somewhere someone at FOX said, yea lets air this guy...unless you think a propaganda machine like FOX isn't paying attention to who their putting on the air and what their message is...
edit to add: im not debating the validity of what he is presenting/saying. I am just skeptical of why this is hitting the airwaves as previously it was put away in a dark closet.

Ummm............Actually, we can all thank (Oh my gosh) "Glenn Beck" for exposing this two years ago on his show. I know, I know, you couldn't watch it and listen to all those chalkboard squeaks. I'll leave the following space open for all the childish vitriol______________________________________

Another hardcore dose of truth from the one man on television willing to expose the true extent of the corruption this world is facing. I applaud him and all he does to awaken the sleeping masses and bring them important information they don't take the time to find themselves. I'm just concerned for his safety. He keeps pushing the limits every time he releases a new Reality Check segment. Eventually he's going to go a step too far and someone will demand he be silenced.edit on 1/8/2012 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)
