Kudos To Sheldon Adelson & Dr. Miriam Adelson
30 Sep 2012 12:01 am

As I have said often, Sheldon Adelson and Dr. Miriam Adelson have unfairly been attacked by the media simply because they stand up for capitalism and their values. They are great Americans, amongst the largest philanthropists in the world, and people who should be commended. Mrs. Adelson wrote an op-ed for The Daily Caller where she addressed the media coverage they have faced.
She is clear, right – and its great to hear them stand up to the machine that is trying to destroy them. Excerpts follow:
“In recent weeks my family has come under relentless attack …

Ronn Torossian of 5WPR Says Believe In God, Not The Media
25 Sep 2012 12:01 am

Former Obama Administration Advisor Anita Dunn once said: “The press corps wouldn’t be doing its job if it weren’t demanding more access than we’re willing to give. We wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t occasionally irritate the press.”The media’s job, like it or not is not to make friends, or report that which is nice. Their job is to report “the news.”
Why do some expect fairness from the media? CNN published parts of Mark Stevens’ diary – and some are criticizing them for doing so – and I don’t get …

The Philanthropic Right-Wing Sheldon Adelson
24 Sep 2012 12:01 am

Because of his political activities, we read a tremendous amount about “right-wing” Sheldon Adelson but media bias denies us news about the real range of philanthropic interests.
Born in Boston to a Jewish cab driver father and a stay-at-home mother, the man credits his father for giving him one of life’s most important lessons of philanthropy. While they were poor, he remembers at home his father dropping his coins into the classic “pushkeh”. His father told him “As poor as we are, others are poorer” - and that’s what drives Adelson to work as hard as he does. And …

PR Firms Serving Anti-American Governments
22 Sep 2012 12:01 am

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a prestigious foreign policy group will host Ali Akbar Salehi, the Foreign Minister of Iran during his NY trip next week. He will be joining Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for the opening of the United Nations General Assembly and the appearance at the CFR is part and parcel of a PR campaign to influence the public.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke during his previous US visit in 2007 at Columbia University in 2007, where he questioned whether the Holocaust actually happened. Its deplorable that these people are …

Prime Minister Begin Reports To The Grave Of His Boss Ze’ev Jabotinsky On the 100th Anniversary Of The Birth of Jabotinsky
21 Sep 2012 12:01 am

Recently I obtained a classic speech which has not previously been published which
“Prime Minister Menachem Begin reported at the grave-site of his boss, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, Rosh Betar on the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Jabotinsky.” Begin gave the speech at Mount Herzl in front of the grave of Ze’ev Jabotinsky on Har Herzl (Mount Herzl).
Ze’ev Jabotinsky was a Revisionist Zionist leader, author, orator, soldier, and founder of the Jewish Self-Defense Organization in Odessa. He also helped form the Jewish Legion of the British army in World War I.
“Upon completion of the centennial of …

Sheldon Adelson Under Attack By Obama
19 Sep 2012 12:01 am

Successful entrepreneurs and donors to conservative issues are under brutal attack by President Obama and the liberal media machine. Obama in a well publicized speech business owners and said “You didn’t build that”, and his campaign this week issued a fundraising email assailing Sheldon Adelson, a private citizen for wanting to pay less taxes. The email concluded: “We don’t have Sheldon Adelson, and with all due respect, we don’t want him.” It seems that Occupy Wall Street has succeeded demonizing business — and may indeed today be occupying government and media
Not a week …

Ronn Torossian: Celebrate Heroic Sheldon Adelson & Miriam Adelson
18 Sep 2012 12:01 am

Sheldon Adelson is a great entrepreneur, philanthropist and patriot.

What does President Obama say about a man who grew up dirt poor, slept in the same room as his parents and whole family and has by his own hard, honest work taking risks and making many sacrifices today become one of the wealthiest men in the world?
What does the American President say about a man who not only embraces equality– but his wife owns 26.9% of his company? (He owns 26.3% and his wife is involved with all aspects of his business. …

All Americans Should Stand Up And Say Thank You Sheldon Adelson
16 Sep 2012 12:01 am

All that America should say to Sheldon Adelson, a self-made billionaire who grew up poor and today donates hundreds of millions of dollars annually to charity is Thank You. This great patriot has a family foundation which devotes hundreds of millions to charities, offers tens of thousands of people a chance to prosper, and truly is the epitome of a great American who should be celebrated. Rather than being attacked by the President as he was this week Sheldon Adelson should be lauded as a true American hero.
President Obama’s campaign issued …

Canada: The New World Leader?
9 Sep 2012 12:01 am

Today, Canada announced that it is closing its embassy in Iran and would be expelling Iranian diplomats from Canada. As Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said “Canada has closed its embassy in Iran, effective immediately, and declared personae non gratae all remaining Iranian diplomats in Canada. Canada’s position on the regime in Iran is well known. Canada views the Government of Iran as the most significant threat to global peace and security in the world today,” said Baird.

Ze’ev Jabotinsky Great Quotes (Compiled by Ronn Torossian)
8 Sep 2012 12:01 am

Ze’ev Jabotinsky was perhaps the Jewish leader who had the largest impact upon the pre-state establishment of Israel. Ten quotes which I compiled remain so relevant and applicable to events which transpire today:

“In the beginning, G-d created the individual. Every individual is a king equal to his fellow. Society was created for the good for individuals, not the opposite.” “My Story,” 1936 in Autobiography (Hebrew), p. 38
“Preservation of the special character of nations is essential for progress.” Ze’ev Jabotinsky
“Hebrew is the most wonderful of languages, a language of a thousand …

Words of Zionist Visionary Ze’ev Jabotinsky: Instead of Excessive Apology
6 Sep 2012 12:01 am

This article is one which anyone concerned about Israel should read. Is a translation of an article written by Ze’ev Jabotinsky, the Zionist prophet.
“We constantly and very loudly apologize… Instead of turning our backs to the accusers, as there is nothing to apologize for, and nobody to apologize to, we swear again and again that it is not our fault… Isn’t it long overdue to respond to all these and all future accusations, reproaches, suspicions, slanders and denunciations by simply folding our arms and loudly, clearly, coldly and calmly answer with the …

Al-Qaeda Help Wanted
5 Sep 2012 12:01 am

Just as Iran is a problem for America & Israel, its amazing to learn that Al Qaeda has been posting ads online for suicide bombers. Apparently, Shumukh al-Islam, an Internet forum for Al Qaeda under the heading “Area of activity: The Planet Earth ”has placed ads where the applicants must be Muslim,mentally mature, dedicated, able to listen, and utterly committed to completing their mission.” Interested candidates are instructed to submit the completed application to email addresses provided in the ad, including details of their nickname or handle, their age, marital status, languages …

Random Musings from Ronn Torossian
4 Sep 2012 12:01 am

The international law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP is the first, as they call it “.. real full-service international law firm on the ground in Israel is an idea long overdue.” “Because they attract capital from all over the world and operate in countless jurisdictions, Israeli businesses know no boundaries. Neither should their law firm.” Another good development for the economy.
Back to school is almost upon us – and that means Football season at Irving MoskowitzStadium. The name was named because the Irving Moskowitz foundation donated $1.5 million to the city of Hawaiian Gardens …

5WPR CEO Says: Official Israel Defense Spokesperson – Get It Right on Twitter
1 Sep 2012 12:01 am

Ze’ev Jabotinsky who is considered one of the most influential Zionist thinkings ever wrote in 1932: “ The work of the publicist is a legacy from the Prophets of Israel…Our passion is to speak, to proclaim—“Shouting” is what the same audience calls it, ‘we have no need for words, give us actions.’ One thing that audience forgets is that speech is also an action – Perhaps the most authentic of all other actions. Cities have been destroyed, and more will fall, but what was shouted in the wilderness thousands of years ago …

Presidential Public Relations Quotes
31 Aug 2012 12:01 am

With the RNC under way, and the election only a few months away, some exciting quotes on public relations & politicians I gathered, together with commentary:

“Ninety eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It’s the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.” Lily Tomlin

Clearly this is the opinion of the media still today as according to a recently released Pew study, the majority of press coverage about both Obama & Romney is negative: http://www.prdaily.com/Main/Articles/12521.aspx

Israel Public Relations News & Publicity Quotes
29 Aug 2012 12:01 am

Some great Publicity quotes (and my thoughts):

“The very minute a thought is threatened with publicity it seems to shrink towards mediocrity” Oliver Wendell Holmes (Israel should keep more secrets)
“Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.” Louis D. Brandeis (Unfortunately for Israel the light shines onIsrael unequally)
“Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive.” Donald Rumsfeld (Unfair how the only democracy in Middle East is constantly condemned)
“The effect of power and publicity on all …

Ze’ev Jabotinsky: The Work Of Publicist Is Legacy & The World Was Created By The Word
28 Aug 2012 12:01 am

So in the latest Israel technology app, there’s an Internet app “for those who won’t get off their asses.” Good new idea at Kfar Kedem – donkey-mounted Wi-Fi. It’s intended for tourists to upload photos and emails about their trip in real time while they ride a donkey.
www.sizedoesntmatter.com is a great new website “aimed at highlighting the multitude of Israel’s accomplishments and contributions in a new, fun and attractive way.” This PR firm CEO says it’s well done and it’s a cool, cutting-edge positive tool.
And speaking of communications and technology, what could be better than …
