BBC Pimping For Obama……What A Surprise!!

The BBC, acting in its capacity of being the UK extension of Barack Obama’s “Palace Guard” (aka the US mainstream media) led on the website with an item headed

Romney and Republicans raise $100m in June

Under the headline the text confirmed that Mitt Romney, the likely Republican candidate in this coming November’s Presidential election, had raised more money than Obama. At first glance one could have sensed from this the possibility of a Damascene conversion at Beeb HQ…..that they might have actually decided to report a US election in a fair and balanced way by shedding the liberal/left blinkers that for over half a century have coloured their reporting.

But, true to form, as one’s eyes travelled down the page, it became clear that they were performing to the script posted out from the New York Times, Washington Post and the TV alphabets. The Obama campaign is firing all its guns on Romney’s wealth to characterise him as a gold plated fat cat who knows nothing about the everyday problems of ordinary people in a struggling economy – and the reason for harping on the success of the Romney/GOP fundraising was to associate the Republican Party with this fat cat image…

Look, folks, it’s Obama and the people v Romney and the fat cats – and the fat cats hope to buy the election…

Moreover, to darken the image even further, the BBC references a recent Vanity Fair article

And there were negative headlines this week over a Vanity Fair investigation reporting that much of Mr Romney’s personal fortune was hidden in a network of opaque offshore investment havens.

Yes, Vanity Fair, (the one that was so sympathetic to the Occupy “movement”)…..did a full scale investigation into Romney’s wealth (probably using the fifty fact checkers that AP sent to Alaska after Palin’s VP GOP nomination in 2008)…..yet somehow has never managed to send anybody to Chicago to find out more about Obama’s relationship with Tony Rezko, a key figure in his political transfiguration who was later convicted of money laundering and bribery.

But then, since VF is clearly the house magazine of the glitterati, the BBC didn’t spend too much time agonising upon the mixed messages being sent out by Obama’s hobnobbing with the Hollywood elite….

As for the tear stained pleas from Obama and his surrogates about being outspent – smoke and mirrors, anyone?

The only catch is that the actual spending by super PACs so far this year tells a quite different story. The truth is that the super PAC founded by top Obama staffers and its aligned “independent” groups are outspending groups that oppose the president by roughly two to one.

….and behind those pro Obama super PACs are some very shady figures….

But hey, whenever did an honest in depth probe of any liberal/left political structure figure particularly high on the BBC agenda? As for the piece itself just look at the subtle hints offered by the selection of photos……Romney holidaying on an expensive rich man’s toy while Obama is out there talking to horny handed sons of toil….

….and not a single mention of golf….

National Socialism….The Ideology of Peace

‘One lesson well understood in both Stalin’s Russia and Nazi Germany was that propaganda is most effective when it is backed by terror.’

In Britain today there are over two million National Socialists living mainly in large enclaves separate from the rest of British society.

Their lives are guided by the tenets taken from a book that orders them not to make friends with anyone who is not a National Socialist, in fact it instructs them to either kill non-followers or force to submit to slavery those who do not convert to their ideology…the book states that it is their duty to spread the ideology and one day to enforce it upon all.

The book praises the ‘family’ and women but ideally would prefer women to be kept at home as housewives…respected but different from men in authority and ability to run their own lives.

The book imposes severe and draconian punishments upon those who commit the ‘crime’ of adultery amongst others.

At times impatient ‘hotheads’ will strike out at the non National Socialist community and government using extreme violence in order to raise awareness and terrorise the Establishment into appeasing them…the Establishment ‘recognises’ their grievances and hands out money and positions of influence in order to ‘assure’ the minority that ‘they’ are part of the national concern.

The National Socialists use this influence and the undertow of  threat to continue to press for even more concessions towards their ideology and thus successfully subvert the established community by forcing them to slowly adopt, bit by bit, their National Socialist values…..such as dietary requirements, clothing and the compulsory learning of their ideology in schools…and all supported by a public service broadcaster which is worried that to be critical of the ideology would only antagonise the National Socialists and lead to anger, fear and violence from that community and possibly between communities.

Therefore in order to ‘keep the peace’ nothing will be said about an ideology that is at heart violent, racist and oppressive….nor the fact that it is spreading at an alarming rate.

The public broadcaster cannot ask the question ‘What will be the consequences to this country if the National Socialist community is allowed to grow and force its ideology upon an ever greater swathe of the country?’

It cannot ask the question because the answer would be terrifying for all who value democracy, liberty, and peace.

Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.

 

Would the BBC throw Mein Kampf …

……”the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message.”

in the Room 101 bin?

 

 

BBC refuses to screen play about Islamic threat to freedom of speech

 

Mark Thompson, the BBC’s director-general, says it will not screen the controversial ‘Can We Talk About This?’.

 

 ‘In the past, Thompson has conceded that there is “a growing nervousness about discussion about Islam”. He claimed that because Muslims were a religious minority in Britain, and also often from ethnic minorities, their faith should be given different coverage to that of more established groups.’

 

Don’t Panic, They’re Islamic…But Watch Those Russkies!

‘Today’ asks is Russia becoming more autocratic?:

‘Russia’s lower house of parliament will be debating a draft law later today which, if it is adopted, means that any non-governmental organisation in Russia receiving funding from abroad and considered to be engaged in political activity, will be labelled a “foreign agent”.

Vyacheslav Nikonov, an MP from the leading party and one of the authors of the bill believes Russian democracy “needs to be protected from outside influences”.

“When foreign money is involved in politics, that distorts the democratic process inside the country.”  

 

A more honest and informative question might be ‘Should foreign governments, NGOs or other organisations be allowed to fund political activities and ideological philosophies in another country?’

That would encompass not only the ‘autocratic’ Russians but also the overly tolerant Britain where Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, Dubai etc are allowed to inject massive funds into Britain purely to finance what amounts to propaganda for the Islamic religion…through universities, other educational establishments, ‘information centres’, ‘community centres’ and of course Mosques….(and the new recruits to Islam are all too often all too easy to radicalise)

Is Britain too tolerant of foreign governments who peddle an ideology that is implacably opposed to our own way of life and values? 

Or how about the question ‘Is Saudi Arabia too autocratic because it doesn’t allow any religion other than Islam inside its borders?’

Odd how the BBC only pick on White, Christian Russia.

Questions you will never hear the BBC ask….unless the answer is scripted in advance….because the BBC does not have the interests of Britain at heart as Peter Oborne suggests. ….‘Surprisingly often, the BBC gives the impression that it does not care for Britain.’

 

 

 

 

SUTTON TRUST

Amazing amount of favourable publicity afforded to the Sutton Trust’s latest report on the Today programme this morning. Also used as an opportunity to mock Michael Gove. Yet isn’t the Sutton Trust a reliably left wing organisation? Why DOES the BBC get so excited about it’s press releases? Is it because any opportunity to somehow “do down” Gove is grabbed with relish? If our children really ARE lagging so far behind overseas students, perhaps the BBC might choose to square that with their adulation of the teaching “profession” and the NUT? Maybe this is evidence we need to sack poor teachers? Oddly, the BBC never goes down that line, for some reason.

Question Time LiveChat 7th July 2012

Question Time tonight comes from Derby.

On the panel we have Conservative MP Louise Mensch, Energy and “climate change” Secretary Ed Davey MP, former postman and occasional home secretary Alan Johnson MP, Sunday Times and Independent columnist Dominic Lawson, and John Lydon, former lead singer of the Sex Pistols and founder of the band Public Image Ltd.

This Week will follow, and we have the standard lineup of Andrew Neil with Michael Portillo, plus Alastair Campbell. Lucky us.

This is the last Question Time of the season and also possibly the last one we host here using CoverItLive who have decided to start charging. We think (fingers crosssed) that David Mosque has enough ‘credit’ left in his test account to run this tonight.

However we are still trying to source an alternative. Any suggestions – please let us know!

You are very welcome to join us once again. Please play nicely.

Casino Government

 

Never quite sure about the ‘Wake Up To Money’ crew on 5Live….are they real financial journalists or have a bunch of school kids clambered in through a studio window  to  bluff us with gems from  Google and Wikipedia?

Apart from a determined effort to ignore any Labour connections to Libor a discussion about the new ‘Shard’ building in London caught my attention.

What really started me thinking was their comment that a flurry of property building always preceded a financial crash…ala 1930’s.

Which is strange really…because how often have we heard the BBC either agreeing not to disagree with Ed Balls or simply promoting the idea of a building ‘stimulus’ to get the economy growing?

Did that work for Ireland? Look at all those brand new empty housing estates….didn’t work for them did it?

Ireland of course borrowed to build which is the real killer…and one the BBC and Ed Balls seem pretty keen on.

The Irish ‘stimulus’ is the very thing that brought them to their knees.

What Balls’ scheme amounts to is a massive ‘make work’ enterprise, essentially unemployment benefit disguised as work…..how is the building funded? The distant prospect of Growth…..or so Brown promised…and that worked out well didn’t it?

Essentially that was ‘Casino’ government….gambling on all our futures…Brown broke the bank alright but it was us who lost our shirts whilst Brown jets around the world on a glorious reputation enthusiastically fluffed up and endorsed by the BBC.

Back to the drawing board.

God Help The British Nation

Today had an expose of a national television network that broadcasts propaganda for the government…..Syrian  not British.

Ghatan Sleiba, an ex-correspondent from a government affiliated news channel, met with the BBC’s James Reynolds near Turkey’s border with Syria and provided some insights into how the government controls the media’s message.

The final words made me smile….

‘The people can’t trust us…..the Syrian nation is a simple nation…they believe who ever smiles on TV and they believe who ever cries on TV…God help the Syrian nation.’

ARMED FORCES

I’m wondering if the British Army which the BBC seems ever so concerned about today is in any way related to the British Army which the BBC routinely likes to run down as bloodthirsty mercenaries at every possible opportunity? Each time our brave soldiers go into battle, the BBC has been there to demoralise them; to undermine the legitimacy of the operations; to offer propaganda for their enemy. But today, when it comes to job cuts imposed by the Coalition, they are EVER so concerned. A cynic might think that this is empty  posturing by the BBC.

THE RICHNESS OF POVERTY HUSTLING

Wonder did anyone out there catch the debate on Today this morning  concerning the claim from the Kids Company that there are “at least one million” kids in Britain who are starving? Well, when I say debate, it wasn’t.

Instead we had two people, one from Netmums (who else? Yawn) and another from Leon restaurants who came on to agree that the one million starving figure was, if anything, underplaying the monumental scale of the problem. This suggestion that we have huge numbers of children in the UK  at starvation level is a constant theme in BBC reports and it always can be tracked down to the Poverty Industry sticking out press releases based on the most spurious “research” and the answer is always the same – more Welfare benefits please.

During this particular interview (7.48am) when it was suggested that good food awareness might help, one of the poverty hustlers explained that whilst this might have some merit how would it help a single mum, maybe a sex worker, stressed out on crack cocaine and thus unable to feed their kids. The BBC interviewer didn’t bother asking how a Mother can afford crack cocaine but not food for their kids. The Poverty Industry can always rely on the BBC to run with its contrived and vacuous headlining.
