    Not al beeb but relevant I hope

    A bit of explaining about the Democrats and the American Left.

    Back in the 60’s there were a couple of Leftist professors. Cloward and Piven. Their speciality was what the Americans call “Social Work” and “Sociology”.

    They came up with a philosophy, adopted wholeheartedly by Democrats from LBJ on. It goes like this:

    HOW TO CREATE A SOCIALIST STATE
    The Cloward-Piven Strategy: There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a socialist state. The first is the most important.

    1. Health care – Control healthcare and you control the people.

    2. Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

    3. Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

    4. Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

    5. Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives. (Food, Housing, and Income)

    6. Education – Take control of what people read and “listen to us“ take control of what children learn in school.

    7. Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.

    8. Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

    Let’s discuss these as they relate to the Democrat party.

    · Health care: Obamacare controlled what it covered and who approved your care and what you could get at what age. They took your doctor out of the equation. You only got what the government let you get.

    · Poverty and Welfare: Obama created the largest welfare state ever. He had more people on government benefits and the smallest workforce since 1978.

    · Debt: Pelosi wanting an additional $2.2T Covid-19 bill is all part of that. She is trying to bust the budget to the point that it is no longer affordable.

    · Gun control: The Democrats have been trying to take guns away for 30+ years. One little incremental change here and another there and pretty soon your guns are gone.

    · Education: The Department of EDU was established in 1978 by the Carter administration and they have made small incremental changes year after year to what the kids learn and today they are turning out good little socialists. The proud to be an American is gone.

    · Religion; First they took prayer out of schools and then out of government buildings. One thing after another and not they blame it on Covid-19 but you can’t worship in a church anymore.

    · Class warfare: They have been doing this forever. Rich against Poor. Black against White. Male against Female. They will not be happy until we all hate each other.

    Students of history will see there are striking parallels in the UK to what is going on in America.

    An upper class twit with qualifications in Art History and Theatre Studies has taken over the Tory Party. Doris Johnson’s big brain called “Dominic”. Its been replaced by a small substitute called “Carrie”. The Carrie Symonds era has come, with windmills and flower power replacing gas and coal power. Transgender rights and Political correctness. The great Joe Biden has come to the rescue of the Remainers and the Brexiteers have been evicted from Downing Street. Carrie Symonds, daughter of the remain supporting Independent, passionate animal rights defender and a fighter against the “gigantic climate crisis” is victorious, her top priority is to save the badgers, her second priority is not to be confrontational with the BBC, by saving and not decriminalising the licence fee, putting a brake on Brexit and spending billions and billions of pounds on a British Government project, dedicated to crediting Doris, as the man who stopped the climate from changing.

    The BBC is of course delighted that Cummings has gone…no less delighted I’m sure that at least two of the coven allegedly involved in forcing him out were ex-BBC journalists [once in the BBC forever BBC…like the KGB].

    The BBC had mounted a sustained and vicious campaign against Cummings, alternating it with a similarly brutal campaign against Boris….but failing miserably in both cases to stop their ascent and success with Brexit and the election….but as with the Iraq War the BBC fights the long war, time, as with the Taliban, is on their side…and as they write, and rewrite, the history of past events they can reshape it to suit their own narrative.

    Cummings may have won but the knives were still out for him. His trip up North was a godsend for the BBC which was able to twist and manipulate the truth to make inflammatory and provocative claims…never mind the police stated he had committed no crime and broke no lockdown regulations other than possibly a minor infraction which would have resulted in merely being told to drive back home.

    The BBC somehow forgets the police statement but is happy to push a huge lie that Cumming’s trip broke the Public’s trust in the government’s lockdown measures resulting in millions flocking to the beaches and open spaces flouting the rules and putting lives at risk…not only that but Cummings was responsible for the second wave.

    Hmmm….the BBC completely ignores the fact that the beaches and parks were jam-packed long before Cumming’s trip and that maybe it was the government relaxing the lockdown that resulted in a second wave…as Sage said would happen in its briefing paper that advised on the lockdown options….a harsh lockdown would result in a second wave when relaxed….nought to do with Cummings at all….that is pure BBC invention and fabrication intended to damn Cummings.

    It is remarkable that the BBC, ever reluctant to criticise the justification and effectiveness of the lockdown, didn’t even fact check the government’s falsified figures that were cobbled together to justify the second lockdown…there is no Reality Check on one of the biggest stories out there…figures that were instantly and comprehensively rubbished by others…just not by the BBC. We have an enormous and disastrous government policy forcing us into lockdown using fake data and the BBC just isn’t interested…the same BBC that was however, obsessed by data being used to ‘steal’ Brexit. The BBC is though, strangely, very, very interested in the Cumming’s resignation……a relatively minor thing when compared to a lockdown that is destroying the economy and people’s lives and all justified by fake data.

    Robin Aitken in The Telegraph gives the BBC a proper, and deserved, kicking…

    ‘Dominic Cummings’s exit is great news for the BBC – and a disaster for any hope of serious reform ‘

    ‘The taxi that took Dominic Cummings away from Downing Street for the last time was carrying more than just the Prime Minister’s ex-chief adviser; it also carried away any realistic hope that the Johnson government might deliver on reform of the BBC. With Cummings gone the chances that there will be any serious assault on the Corporation’s privileges and prerogatives are severely diminished.

    Dominic Cummings was the one person in the heart of government who understood why it was essential to take on the BBC. He could see what so many others seem unable to – that the BBC stands in opposition to everything that real conservatism consists of. Cummings departure is therefore a huge victory for the liberal-left Establishment.

    When the Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis unburdened herself of her heartfelt contempt for Cummings and Johnson back in May she left no one in any doubt about her own politics. But her forthright editorialising also gave an insight into BBC thinking. It should always be remembered that what the BBC broadcasts is never the work of just one individual; broadcasting is a collaborative venture.

    Maitlis would not have been able to simply write out her diatribe and then deliver it on-air without anyone else knowing. That script would have been seen and maybe amended by at least a couple of other BBC journalists – probably a senior producer and the programme editor would have read it through. It was, in fact, a considered and calculated attack which had the approval of senior editorial figures.

    And what Maitlis’ verbal assault showed was just how rattled the BBC was by the knowledge that standing just behind the Prime Minister, and whispering in his ear, was someone who was its sworn enemy. Which is why the BBC news operation mounted such a sustained and vicious campaign to paint Cummings’ road-trip to the north in the blackest of colours; the Corporation was desperate to get rid of a man it rightly saw as a threat.

    From the amount of coverage the BBC gave the story, and its tone, one might have thought Cummings stood accused of some serious crime rather than a minor (non-criminal) infringement of the rules made by a concerned father making childcare arrangements. However on that occasion the BBC’s hysterical campaign to unseat Cummings failed and Johnson stood by his man; but now, thanks to the PM’s girlfriend, they have the scalp they most wanted and the chances of meaningful reform of the BBC have plummeted.

    The fact that now, in the immediate aftermath of Cummings’ departure, de-criminalisation is off the agenda points to an important new development; the government is suing for peace, and on the BBC’s terms. For who now, in the upper reaches of the government has the stomach for a fight with the BBC?

    So what now? With Cummings gone the danger is that the government will lose all appetite for a war against the BBC because, without doubt, it would have been a protracted and politically bloody affair. It would have required determination and a willingness to spend a lot of political capital. That same Establishment which fought, tooth and nail, to prevent the democratic will of the people from being implemented, would certainly have rallied around the BBC if it was in any serious way threatened.

    The BBC can count among its allies the entire arts establishment, academia and the education lobby, reliable media allies like the Guardian and Channel 4, as well as a huge swathe of Parliamentarians in both Houses. The BBC lined-up solidly behind the Establishment on Brexit and the favour would have been returned with interest.

    With Dominic Cummings in No 10 – the man who once wrote that the BBC was “the mortal enemy” of the Conservative Party – there was a chance, albeit a slim one, that the Tories would free themselves of the Stockholm Syndrome which has always hampered their dealings with the Corporation. Too many Tories labour under the illusion that the BBC is neutral towards them and now the one man who was clear-sighted on the issue has been booted out. In his place we have the Prime Minister’s girlfriend Carrie Symonds and her buddy Allegra Stratton.

    Between them these two seem to have thoroughly brow-beaten the Prime Minister. Johnson is now a much-diminished figure and the BBC will be cheering.

    All of this adds up to a black day for reformers and a wonderful one for the BBC. Cummings, its enemy, has been unceremoniously dispatched and the Prime Minister has now chosen his girlfriend as his principle adviser. With one bound the Corporation was free. As Private Eye’s long-running BBC satirical cartoon strip ‘Corporation Street’ might have put it: “Trebles all round!”‘

    Classic Marxist BBC.

    At 1740 Ben Brown in strongly implied terms criticises the USA for having the temerity to be a rich country and wanting to be at the front of the coronavirus vaccine queue instead of ‘poor countries’.

    The fact that the ingenuity, creativity, and entrepreneurship of private sector capitalism in that very country, the USA is entirely responsible for these new inventions, and therefore they do actually deserve to be at the front of the queue seems to be totally lost on the BBC.

      We ve seen this in the 14 day house arrest exemptions – politicians and diplomats don’t get or pass on covid – right PM?

    Watching a bit of BBC1 tonight. New black presenter on the One Show but he was only allowed to say about 5 lines. Isn’t that racist?!?

    Then watched the utter shambles of the BBC trying to start the Panorama programme. Sounded like utter chaos as stills of BBC2 were appearing on the BBC1 channel as the staff randomly swapped cables over. They thought they fixed it then they hadn’t. 12 minutes later they annouced they would show Garden Rescue but that also failed. Back to Panorama with no sound. After 15 minutes they got it working.

    I’d like to think all the technical staff have been replaced with diversity quotas and this is the result.

    Well, wouldn’t you know…

    Unsolicited email recieved today from my local London Borough reminding me of the Mayor of London and London Assembly elections that will take place on Thursday 6 May 2021.

    Naturally they are “already making plans to help ensure you can stay safe when casting your vote”.

    “Polling stations will be COVID-secure and open for voting in person” – good to know.

    However… “In order to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 you may wish to consider voting by post.”

    There follows a lot of encouragement to vote by post. Almost as if that’s the preferred method.

    Covid fear = a nudge toward postal voting.

    Hmmm, how well did that go in the States – did it encourage faith in the democratic system – or the opposite?

    By the way, how do they know Covid will still be rampant in May 2021?

      What is truly scary though is the total co-ordinated denial by the MSM that there is anything to see, they absolutely denied it right from the first.

      For just about any news story the MSM get something wrong or lacks all the facts, the BBC is often late to the story because it claims it is waiting for verification, but not here.

      It’s almost as if Soros HQ had issued an edict to AP, Reuters et al in advance of the voting and they were just waiting for the publication embargo to be lifted at a pre-determined time.

    I got a laugh out loud Monday – now one for Tuesday . A celeb called Graham Norton is to leave his programme on Radio2 after 55 years . He is off to something called’ virgin radio’and more money .
    A kidult writing about this in the Telegraph frames it as ‘bad news ‘ and a ‘crisis ‘…..yet scrol down and look at the comments – ….suggests the woke Telegraph and its ‘ subscribers have a growing gap in views …. language about ‘bias’ and arguments regularly vented here are on that site ….

    So telegraph – go woke go broke – my £4 a month sub ends in March . I’m gone …like mr Norton …( actually not too much like mr Norton )…

    And Ken billwright left his show last night after 65 years ….

    Just to add – that paper also has a piece about the BBC ambassador to the EU – Katty? Adler using the term

    ‘fisher people ‘ instead of fishermen in accordance with BBC language codes .

    But what about men ‘people who don’t catch fish – surely lobster catchers should be called
    ‘Crustacean people ‘- like some episode of D Who when it was good – and terry nation wrote …

    I m not trying to open a full can of worms here – I will leave that to the fisher people ….

      Yep, getting closer to a total speech ban on the words ‘men’ and ‘women’. I honestly thought I was going mad until I stumbled across this site! Our friend the BBC obviously plays a huge part in this crap and the news of Carrie Symonds basically now running Downing Street is a nail in the coffin to any hopes of reform. Still, hopefully the more propaganda they churn out, hopefully the more people that will cancel their license. More than one way to skin a cat.

    I honestly believe that the BBC number one objective is
    to “cancel” the indigenous white males from their
    programming.This manifests itself on their internet picture
    outlet where Caucasian men have become all but persona
    non grata.
    It seems to me that the default position of the BBC
    is to flood their programming with what they call
    “positive discrimination.” Which in practice is diversity gone
    mad.
    As an indigenous Londoner the only programme now where
    this positive discrimination is not applied is on their London
    programme .Where in London the demographics are now
    that the indigenous are quite a minority now around 33%.
    But the BBC does not use positive discrimination in
    presentation and reporting in this case. No quite the reverse.
    Over 70% of the presenters and reporters are ethnic.At the BBC
    the lunatics are in charge of the asylum. But so far as BIG
    BROTHER is concerned at the BBC.There is method in
    the madness of the “cleansing” of the white male from their
    national media outlet.

    BBC Moaning Emole starts with a bang:

    “PM under fire over devolution remarks”

    Woo hoo! And from whom is this ‘fire’ from?

    Let’s just say it is not friendly, or a surprise.

    There is, of course…. ‘analysis’…

    “BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says Mr Johnson’s own goal is a political gift for the SNP,”

    Anyhoo, who could, might, possibly, be happening in the USA?

    Ah, Joe says something…

    ***

    ‘More people may die’

    President-elect Joe Biden has warned that Donald Trump’s refusal to hand over power to him in the usual way could cost lives. Mr Trump hasn’t acknowledged he lost the US election – and has, in fact, tweeted the exact opposite.

    ***
    ‘In the usual way’?
