today i was looking up past episodes of democracy now and i found a Wikipedia on Amy Goodman Here’s the question…. Did Amy Goodman Recently Died??? because i was on Wikipedia and it says she has died on January 28, 2012 From Bells Palsy. and i was like WTH!?! so i started investigating… and apparently there is a new episode and without a doubt is Amy Goodman Breathing. and i took a deep breath and i thought Wait a minute do those kinds of pre-recorded earlier (maybe I don’t know TV Broadcasting All That Well) but i don’t know for sure but im 65% sure it was a hoax but i don’t know since nobody else hasn’t said anything about it. i know a few people on part15.us carry democracy now because i started carrying it a month ago. so if anybody else can tell me or reassure me or if yall can investigate further for me, or just if you know anything please do tell.

Where’s Amy?
Well according to the Democracy Now website, she was on an MSNBC program as recently as Feb 05, 2012. MSNBC’s Up With Chris Hays
Being a rather huge spotlighted journalist and has appeared on countless programs for years, there ought to be some sort of confirming article or post or blog or tweet or slapface note or SOMETHING besides just a Wiki page about it…especially on the Democracy Now site.
Nothing of the sort to be found anywhere.
I would say that until there is undeniable evidence to prove that besides just one lone Wiki posting…consider it a hoax.

She Is Probably OK
Today’s Democracy Now! ran with Amy Goodman host, and certainly the show would be the very first to announce any problem.
Therefore, what I think maybe could have happened, is that someone else with the same name may possibly have met a demise, I hope not too badly, as by a U.S. drone attack.

in the clear
looks like Wikipedia saw my blog about the error hoax or Fox News, Amy Goodman is alive and breathing, thank the lord, and Wikipedia took it off of the page. so were in the clear.

Opinions of the Part 15ers
Amy Goodman is a strong person, brave, daring and bold. Her radio programs honor the very truist American Spirit of Democracy and Freedom, and she risks herself by reporting on the shabby side of world affairs.
We hear that such bold reporting brings threats, taunts and harassment from shadow agents who hate certain speech, and we might imagine that the false report of her death was a kind of veiled threat.
A program like hers gives part 15 radio some real importance in joining the voices of truth in this wobbly world.
Amy GOODman and Part 15 Radio share one thing in common. Both are GOOD with capital letters!

Cause And Effect
Agent provocateurs are everywhere. In the occupy movement groups, in peaceful marches and protests, and posting as everyday joe or jane on forums, chat rooms, blogs and yes even in the Wiki library.
Their mission..and they accept it with honor..is to distract, divert and divide.
Their primary goal is to help maintain the status quo of left/right, blue/red, liberal/conservative, this/that, ping/pong, ding/dong.
Their overall goal is to fragment, to keep the mass from having organized and critical thinking. Their ultimate goal is to TRAIN the public into submission.
And as a last resort…cause a disturbance and point the blame to what otherwise are peaceful people exercising their First Amendment rights.
They want “go along to get along”. They want everyone to walk on THEIR straight line..even if that line leads us all to the slaughter house.
