Weekend 30 October 2021

For those who do not accept the ‘climate change theory ‘ – this weekend poses a dilemma. Do we listen to the output of the BBC or switch it all off and do something useful . It will be tempting to watch poor old joe Biden trying to read the autocue and being praised for not answering questions by BBC automatons …..

    This is doing the rounds on Twitter. One for Marianne to fact check.
    Did Biden pooh in his pants when he met the Pope?

    Amy Tarkanian
    @MrsT106
    The word around Rome is that Biden’s meeting with the Pope was unusually long because Biden had a bit of an “bathroom accident” at the Vatican & it had to be addressed prior to him leaving.

    I know we joke often about this, but this is the actual rumor going around Rome now.

        And the talk of Diaper Don – Trump incontinent – was also trash.
        If it can be said of Trump, then why not the good working president?
        ———————-
        #DiaperDon became a top Twitter trend this weekend thanks to an outrageous and so far unsubstantiated accusation that President Trump has had incontinence issues that led him to use adult diapers as far back as the early 2000s when he hosted NBC’s “The Apprentice.”

        Hollywood liberals like Rosie O’Donnell and John Leguizamo began sharing a video in which a New York-based standup comic named Noel Casler claimed, without corroboration, that Trump “would often soil himself on ‘The Apprentice’ set.” He added, “I saw it first-hand in the 2000s on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and late 2000s, and we’d have to stop the show and change him.”

    Tim Davie hit the headlines this week as he wrote in The Telegraph about his intention to make the BBC bias free…you mean it’s not now? LOL.

    ‘It’s time for all of us who believe in the free and open exchange of ideas to push back against the tyranny of a wholly polarised society and make the UK a beacon for free, enlightened, robust and respectful debate.’

    The tyranny of a polarised society? Hmmm…the BBC that has been at the forefront of polarising British[and US] society….creating division, fear, distrust and anger…whipping up racism and hate, creating the very society it says it seeks to prevent. The BBC that acts as the mouthpiece for dangerous extremist groups all of which, from BLM to Extinction Rebellion and Islamists, are all prepared to use violence to force their views upon us.

    Davie states ‘We will give more space to programming that actively explores different points of view’….but you know what that means in reality….the voices you will hear will be Black, Muslim or some other minority or fringe group. They will get to say their piece uninterrupted, unchallenged and unquestioned…their narrative will be fully accepted and stamped with the BBC seal of approval as the true and proper worldview. Others, those with views the BBC disagrees with and disapproves of will be brought on but only to be challenged, demonised and stigmatised…the sole aim to ensure the audience understands such views and ideas are ‘unaccpetable’ and unvoiceable in public despite Davie claiming the BBC will have no fear in allowing such voices to be heard…

    ‘Free speech is fundamental to the strength of British democracy. We value our right to freedom of expression highly. We understand that democracy depends on the open exchange of information and ideas. So how is it that we have become so nervous about sharing views?’

    As said…you may hear the voices but the BBC’s approach in discussing them will be entirely different depending on skin colour, religion, sexuality or the wokeness of the issue being discussed.

    Check out the BBC’s ‘White Mischief’ programme…the title already an attempt to demonise white people…it’s cobbled together by a Black and has a long cast of supportive voices for his racist and misleading lies. It is an insidious and sinister production that actually portrays white people as inherently evil and perhaps..perhaps…they should be erased…

    ‘In this final episode, Ekow asks whether we can live without whiteness.’

    How would you do that eh? Is the BBC seriously proposing ethnic cleansing of all whites? Looks very much like it.

    #KillWhitey.

    Davie has a long way to go if he’s to stop the bias, polarisation and dangerous disinformation that lies at the heart of BBC programming….just follow the BBC’s climate change programming right now….no discussion, no dissent, no challenge to the view that we are in a ‘climate emergency’ and that we must destroy our way of life to ‘save the planet’ as Boris tramples democracy and imposes his green revolution without a single protest from the BBC.

    Davie’s words are pure smoke and mirrors…disinformation itself…no irony that he claims the BBC will be at the forefront of ensuring the Public only gets the facts and that the BBC will provide them whilst preventing disinformation from polluting our democracy….of course having the BBC decide what is a fact, what is true, what is an acceptable viewpoint is decidedly Stalinist itself and extremely dangerous and sinister. I think I’d like to decide and work out what is true or not without the help of BBC journalist telling me what to believe and think.

    Climategate: Science of a Scandal

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000b8p2

    The BBC has decided to take a grip of history and the narrative about ‘Climategate’…just as it did with the Iraq War and the inquiries….the BBC, like the Taliban, have time on their side and the ultimate power to rewrite history to suit themselves.

    The email hack is now a ‘crime’ and an immoral act that prevented the true narrative of climate change to be heard and thus dangerously slowed the actions ‘necessary’ to save the planet.

    Hmmm..I thought it revealed the truth about the ‘science’, the scientists and the journalists…not least those at the BBC who worked in collaboration with the scientists pushing the ‘man-made global warming’ theory…still unproven….CO2 has certainly not been shown to be the main cause if any at all.

    However, no….the BBC has decided that hack was a wicked act by sinister people with malevolent intent rather than people who wanted transparency and an open and truthful debate.

    This is the BBC rewriting history to suit its own agenda…it is pure, outright disinformation designed to demonise those who criticise the climate change Faith and to buttress the narrative about the ‘climate emergency’ that needs radical and extreme lifestyle changes to stop it…..the BBC quite happy to promote the idea that this ‘dangerous’ climate change is irreversible and thus we are on the path to absolute destruction….never mind Britain has been desert, tropical, covered in miles of ice and now a green and pleasant land.

    When Tim Davie self-appoints the BBC to be Britain’s arbiter of truth and accuracy who is going to be checking and holding to account the BBC? Not Ofcom…nor indeed Boris.

    Prince Charles has just arrived in Rome and will be addressing the world about climate change.
    I can hardly contain my excitement. He’s such a scintillating orator…

    No doubt, like all the others, he flew in, either first class or by private jet.

    He’ll then be taken by a huge limo to the conference. Just on that point, did you see the enormous convoy of massive vehicles that accompanied Biden? FFS it went on for about half a bleedin’ mile.

    Charlie boy will, of course, be wearing the regulation face nappy and socially distancing…until that is he gets inside and then it’s off with the mask and hand shakes and hugs all round.

    This is an embarrassing charade. They must think we’re all feeble minded.

    Mind you, looking at the coverage by the BBC… I’m just watching the “interview” with Marr and Greta Thumnail. For the love of God, ask some tough questions, you’re not her favourite uncle. Try to imagine she’s a Tory minister or an ardent supporter of Brexit. In a sentence, do your bloody job.

    These aren’t journalists, they’re cheerleaders…

          Fed, it struck me this morning listening to the R4 News at 7 a.m. that the Green thing is really evidence of the outworking that St Paul warned about in his letter to co-worker Timothy. (1 Timothy 6 verse 10) A few scientists came up with a theory, politicians leapt on the bandwagon and urged other politicians to do the same. More scientists saw a potential funding stream of taxpayer cash, so they leapt onto the same bandwagon and thus it becomes a perpetuating cycle when you add in businessmen and women with an eye for making a fast buck.

          Fed I find your response to Oliver’s video strange cos I don’t read it that way

          ” his theory that the green project fear is a straight replacement for the chinese virus fear .”

          I don’t see him saying it’s deliberately organised that way
          cos of course Climate Fear predates Covid.
          He says the government’s Nudge Teams have worked out that instead of getting government policies from the public’s minds the public’s minds can be manipulated by FEAR into conforming with the governments predetermined policies.
          And he said they do this first with Climate then Covid and then back into Climate again
          His MAIN POINT is the elites hypocrisy betrays them, they generate CO2 like crazy whilst telling us to live in CO2 Austerity.

          but im not sure that they would have the nouse to create a ‘world green conspiracy ‘ .
          he’s not saying the entire thing is untrue CO2 will warm an atmosphere in a lab experiment, so will have an affect in the real world, but the actual magnitude is complicated
          He is saying that the UK establishment and that in many other countries have chosen to ramp up the fear in PRESENTATION
          ie never show CO2 positives or warmer world positives.

          I think it is a fad which will pass when something more important and immediate concentrates minds – like a war – or another pestilence..
          I guess you can compare it to the nuclear disarmament fad
          where the world was SURE to end if the US didn’t give up nuclear weapons

          or compare it to colonialism when the Spanish thought they were saving the South Americans from HELL, by bringing them Jesus
          Now the west imposing its OLD religion on countries is seen as an imperialist evil
          ..by the very same people who are imposing the new CLIMATE FEAR religion

    Extraordinary from the BBC’s Paul Wood…

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10148315/Theres-climate-fear-BBC-stories-race-transgender.html

    ‘I am talking to others in the media about setting up our own organisation to support the idea of impartiality – at the BBC and elsewhere.’

    And why would that be needed? Apparently race and gender campaign groups within the BBC are attempting to silence jourrnalism they don’t like. Is Tim Davie not on the job? Is he not up to the job? Shouldn’t he be dealing with this?

    Wood goes on to say…

    ‘Most people at BBC News really do think of themselves as journalists, not campaigners (I know, having worked with them). But it is increasingly a struggle.’

    That’s just not true….climate, BLM, Brexit, immigration, anti-capitalism, anti-Israel or numerous other issues that the BBC takes a position on rather than purely reporting the issues.

    Paul Wood himself was a fanatical anti-Trumper….paradoxically reporting that the dodgy dossier on Trump actually came from Russian intelligence sources…however, he assured us, the Russians were trying to help Trump! Sooo…a sexed up dossier alleging the Russians had compromising material on Trump and that they were blackmailing him was trying to help Trump? Makes you wonder what they’d do if they were trying to damage his election campaign.

    Will there be a response from the BBC or any of its propaganda staff about what he says ?
    I bet there will be none – other than some denfensive bland statements about the number of complaints up held versus those not

    There was an internal meeting at the BBC back in the late 1990s maybe early 2000s, during which the BBC determined its editorial policy as regards Global Warming/ Climate Change.

    I seem to recall that it received much “critical acclaim” in these parts, but can’t recall the detail.

    It had a name, I think, and the meeting itself was exceptional in that it didn’t involve anyone of appropriate expertise.

    Can someone remind me of the name, and if possible the date it took place?

    Thanks.

    China laugh at the west …China 3 child policy … west 0 child policy

    They believe humans shouldn’t have children. Who are the anti-natalists – and how far are they willing to push their ideas?

    “Wouldn’t it just be better to blow a hole in the side of the earth and just have done with everything?”

    Thomas, 29, lives in the east of England, and although his idea of blowing up the world is something of a thought experiment, he is certain about one thing – humans should not have babies, and our species should gradually go extinct.

    It’s a philosophy called anti-natalism. While the idea dates back to ancient Greece, it has recently been given a huge boost by social media.

    The Climate brigade just want only very rich people or official climate zealots and scientists to be unaffected by screwing down the poorer citizens and reducing them to a new serfdom. (catching rabbits on landed gentry land was once a capital offence!)

    The gender brigade want it to be a crime to discuss what they want so that they can avoid scrutiny from anyone and convert society into a tyrannical super-state where only they are untouchable.

    Yep it’s all just a land grab!

    Why we don’t need foreign aid:

    Mother of Manchester Arena suicide bomber pocketed more than £17,000 in benefits after leaving Britain

    Terrorist sympathiser Samia Tabbal continued to receive about £2,500 a month
    The payments only stopped days after her son, Salman Abedi, killed 22 people
    She failed to inform HM Revenue & Customs that she was leaving the UK

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10148535/Mother-Manchester-Arena-bomber-pocketed-17-000-benefits-leaving-Britain.html

    The taxpayer-funded payments only stopped days after her son, Salman Abedi, killed 22 people by detonating a suicide bomb at an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017, and may have gone on had the subsequent police investigation not established that Tabbal and her husband Ramadan Abedi were back living in Libya

      What influenced the design of this ‘rainbow’, a dirty protest?

      It looks like something you’d see on the wall of a Republican cell in the H-blocks of 1970s Long Kesh.

    I thought I’d been missing all the fun with Capita tv licensing but no. It has to be well over two years since I last heard from them and now, a letter to say, “Your No Licence Needed claim is about to expire. Act now”. So I did.

    Got on their website as directed and simply confirmed again, still not watching “Live” tv. Received a reply to say I will receive confirmation of my “Declaration” within 10 days.

    What can go wrong?

    Oh saturday’s local news didn’t have a COP26 item
    They did start with an item on drink spiking again, but I think was to promote their Sunday Politics show.

    The BBC has had much to say about the ”riot/insurrection” led by Trump and his supporters on Jan 6.

    But nothing is said about the condition of those imprisoned for their alleged participation. Bias by omission is indicative of a serious development in the US, as it hurtles towards the post democracy nightmare.

    Here is a letter from one of the captives.

      I saw that letter and have read about the way the incarcerated peeps are being very badly treated – and the harassment of their friends and families.

      Lives are being ruined there – and many of them are self evidently simply ordinary folk who’ve been in the wrong place at the wrong time and the swines in the DoJ are using their mistreatment as a threat to anybody else minded to go to a public demonstration.

    Totally off topic but……

    Have you your PC clipboard to hand?

    Went to the theatre last night. A play about 19 th century Russia.
    I never realised so many people at that time and in that place were cross-dressers or BAME!!!

    But even more amazingly, one of the cast members was black ( tick), female ( tick) and a dwarf ( tick tick).

    What are the chances of that?
    In the luvvieland so appreciated by the BBC, very high indeed.
