Fox News Supporting Amnesty for Illegal Aliens: Balance Needed

Leave a comment

A national organization fighting against Amnesty for illegal immigrants is calling on Fox News to balance their coverage of immigration reform bill S. 744 to include more guests who oppose the bill, and to withdraw the lobbyists they have hired to pass the bill which destroys their credibility as a “Fair and Balanced” news source.

Raleigh, NC, USA (June 3, 2013) — Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) (866) 703-0864 / Press@alipac.us

A national organization fighting against Amnesty for illegal immigrants is calling on Fox News to balance their coverage of immigration reform bill S. 744 to include more guests who oppose the bill, and to withdraw the lobbyists they have hired to pass the bill which destroys their credibility as a “Fair and Balanced” news source.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), a prior frequent guest who now appears to currently be banned from Fox News, is calling on American conservatives to demand Fox News balance their coverage by allowing guests who oppose Obama’s immigration agenda and S. 744 on the air!

Rupert Murdoch, owner of NewsCorp which owns Fox News, is supporting the illegal alien Amnesty bill alongside the liberal Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg, and Fox News has deployed lobbyists in Washington, DC, who are actively working to pass Amnesty bill S. 744. Since this change, very few opponents of illegal immigration and Amnesty have appeared on Fox News while personalities who support Amnesty for illegal immigrants, such as Senators Marco Rubio, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, political personalities like Karl Rove, and show hosts Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly appear daily. The new Fox News Latino network is attacking those that oppose amnesty like the networks Univision and Telemundo are doing.

“Why would anyone believe Fox News to be fair and balanced about this Amnesty bill or illegal immigration’s negative consequences while simultaneously deploying lobbyists to pass the bill and excluding guests who oppose the legislation?” asked William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “We are asking Americans across the nation to begin contacting Fox News to ask them to withdraw their inappropriate lobbying efforts in support of Amnesty and to start allowing more guests who oppose the bill on the air!”

Fox News used to allow conservative sources that opposed illegal immigration and Amnesty on the shows on a regular basis. William Gheen of ALIPAC appeared on Fox News more than 15 times between 2005 and Election Day 2010 when he joined Fox and Friends in the studio in New York City to accurately warn the nation that Democrats planned to use large numbers of illegal immigrant voters and mass felonious election fraud to stop the Tea Party advance of 2010.

The illegal alien Amnesty bill S. 744 will put 12-20 million illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship and eventual voting rights, which will form a new voting bloc that will consistently support more government spending, more social welfare payments, more hyper immigration levels, and less border and immigration law enforcement. Much of the immigration reform bill S. 744 seeks a rubber stamp from Congress for unlawful and UnConstitutional actions taken by Barack Obama.

Currently, no guest who will strongly question Republicans supporting the Obama illegal immigrant amnesty agenda are allowed on Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, or ABC, giving the Amnesty supporting faction full dominance and control of all major television news networks in America. ALIPAC intends to consult lawyers about the possibility of filing anti-trust lawsuits to help remedy this media monopoly that is abusing American citizens by pushing destructive legislation while censoring important information and guests.

Concerned citizens are encouraged to contact Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch, Fox News President Roger Ailes, and the main offices of Fox News to complain about the company’s lobbying to pass Amnesty for illegal immigrants while excluding guests and news that would hinder passage of the Amnesty bill S. 744.

ALIPAC is publishing an open letter to Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes that can be found on the ALIPAC website at http://www.alipac.us today.

Golden Networking Launching Tech2Trade Expo’s Derivatives Trading Forum 2013 in New York, July 30

Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including Derivatives Trading Forum 2013, “Global Implementation of Regulatory Reform in the $640 Trillion OTC Derivatives Market,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.DerivativesTradingForum.com).

New York City, NY, USA (June 3, 2013) — The trading of derivatives, largely privately negotiated and traded, is going through significant transformation, in what constitutes the biggest financial regulatory revamp since the 1930s. In recent years, derivatives have constituted huge profit machines at institutions like Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley, which control 90% of all such contracts. In response to the global financial crisis and subsequent recession, authorities in both sides of the ocean passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), the most significant pieces of financial regulation since the Great Depression; both have particular significance for OTC derivatives trading and market participants.

On December last year, the European Commission adopted technical standards produced by the Paris-based European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), which seek to implement parts of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), including stricter standards for central counterparties (CCPs). Last May, US regulators from the Commodity and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced changes in the way that commodities are traded in a bid to help strengthen the financial system. Now investment companies have to receive price quotes from a minimum of two banks, potentially giving smaller banks and investment houses the chance to go into the market and increase competition. Moreover, many types of derivatives that have traded exclusively in private must now shift to a regulated trading platform. The platforms, known as Swap Execution Facilities (SEFs), will open a rare window into the somewhat secretive world of derivatives trading.

Following the entry into force of these regulations, market participants are dealing with a complex list of requirements to be fulfilled at different deadlines in the coming months. For market participants, the key challenge will be to meet the central clearing and trade reporting obligations, while regulators strive to ensure consistency with foreign jurisdictions so as to limit the unintended effects of extraterritoriality.

Golden Networking is pleased to host at Tech2Trade Expo 2013‘s Derivatives Trading Forum 2013 (http://www.DerivativesTradingForum.com), this July 30 in New York City, September 18 in London., October 8 in Chicago, October 24 in Singapore and November 21 in Frankfurt. Derivatives Trading Forum 2013 aims at critically reviewing recent regulatory developments and identifying opportunities and challenges in the implementation process, which may influence its full entry into force in America, Europe and Asia. This recent regulation, with its implementing rules, will certainly reshape OTC derivative markets and produce structural changes in the financial industry, with effects for the real economy.

Golden Networking’s Derivatives Trading Forum 2013, “Global Implementation of Regulatory Reform in the $640 Trillion OTC Derivatives Market”, will provide attendees with answers to all their questions on how to successfully navigate the new regulatory landscape for over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives, devise profit-increasing strategies to enhance the performance of their trading desks and anticipate further developments in the industry. Recognized industry experts will provide attendees with the information they are looking for in an open and unbiased environment. Leaders in the industry will also discuss long-term market and industry perspectives, taking into consideration the interaction of the Dodd-Frank Act and EMIR with other pieces of legislation.

Derivatives Trading Forum 2013, co-located with Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2013 and High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, is produced by Golden Networking (http://www.goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs and investors.

Tech2Trade’s Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2013 in New York, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt

Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, now incorporating Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2013, “Getting Ready to Manage $5 Trillion by 2016,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.HedgeFundsLeadersForum.com).

New York City, NY, USA (June 3, 2013) — Global assets invested with hedge fund firms could rise from today’s record $2.1 trillion to more than $5 trillion by 2016, according to a survey from Citi Prime Finance. The study found that pension funds, endowments, foundations and other institutional investors are increasingly embracing the risk management and diversification that hedge funds offer, and that hedge funds are developing new products that compete with traditional, long-only managers.

Indeed, the potential for institutional investors to increase allocations to hedge fund strategies by $1.0 trillion in order to better insulate against risk and to help ensure more diversified portfolios is there. Equally relevant, the survey revealed a “convergence zone,” in which hedge funds and traditional asset managers will increasingly compete head-to-head to offer a broad set of equity and credit strategies. There could be an additional $2.0 trillion in new allocations to hedge fund firms in the form of regulated alternatives and long-only products. Supporting this, mature hedge fund firms are leveraging their infrastructures and resources towards creating the offerings investors will demand.

How can your firm take advantage of these structural trends impacting the alternative investments industry? How to successfully face the new post-crisis legal and regulatory challenges? How to manage the exploding data requests from investors and regulators? How to identify opportunities in frontier markets? Which other opportunities can be exploited to offer investors positive alpha at all times? Finally, how can you position yourself to capture the significant asset inflows in the next years?

Hundreds of the most important players in alternative investments in the world will gather for all-star agendas at Tech2Trade Expo 2013‘s Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2013 (http://www.HedgeFundsLeadersForum.com), “Getting Ready to Manage $5 Trillion by 2016”, this July 30 in New York City, September 18 in London., October 8 in Chicago, October 24 in Singapore and November 21 in Frankfurt. A virtual who’s who will soon follow as one legendary manager after another will take the stage. Billions of investable assets will be represented by influential local and international investors who will listen with rapt attention as star managers and analysts discuss and debate the biggest issues facing the industry today.

Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2013, co-located with High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 and Derivatives Trading Forum 2013, is produced by Golden Networking (http://www.goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs and investors.
