N Korea, Obama, Romney, Rodman "VICE" productions connection
"VICE" .... Obama's propaganda machine?


Shane Smith CEO of VICE produced this film during the 2012 presidential election.

"The drug cartels of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, are at war with a group of polygamous Mormons, some of whom are related to Mitt Romney. VICE founder Shane Smith went down there to investigate the conflict."

Now Shane Smith of VICE reappears in North Korea escorting Dennis Rodman to produce the documentary for HBO of Rodman's cultural exchange mission.

VICE pretends to go "experience" other cultures in their films, but really its all from a warped point of view of dumb ass liberal hipsters running on the fumes of their "American exceptionalism".

VICE is most certainly controlled media, made to appear that it is not.

I have to question what VICE's source of revenue is...

Interesting....

April 5th 2011


"Vice is about to get some multi-million dollar funding in the “eight-figure” range, according to a report today in the New York Times. Although no figures were released, the company has confirmed that those lining up with cash include Tom Freston, the co-founder of MTV; media conglomerate WPP; and boutique investment firm The Raine Group. The three entities will acquire seats on the board, but the company and its board will remain independently owned and controlled, Vice said in a press release issued today. "

Obviously you are not familiar with vice. Shane Smith and his crew have been doing this for quite some time now. Well before there was a "Vice". The investigative journalism they do is as real as it gets.

I can definitely see the skepticism though, and I agree the North Korea thing does raise some eyebrows, now that Vice is with HBO. However, trying to classify everything in to the "liberal" "conservative" box is doing a great disservice to our society . Why can't people just be humans and have a individual opinion on each issue. For example, the Romney documentary was a very interesting and informative piece. And in no way did it slander or hurt Mitt Romney's chances.

Just feels like you are trying to hard to make a conspiracy out of nothing on this one...but I'm always open to further information being presented to ponder on. From what you have presented though I am not convinced.

Are you aware of VICE's COnnection to The Raine Group? Or the Raine Groups connection to China & Goldman Sacs? VICE is not what it appears...
