Words, punctuation and pauses (Obama pauses a lot) have a price … Barack Obama’s $400,000 speaking fees reveal what few want to admit {theguardian may2017}
“The reason many of us have been critical of Barack Obama’s outrageous $400,000 speaking fee is that it robs us of a fantasy: that sooner or later, the first black president was going to use his considerable powers, in or out of office, to help the economic ravages of the poor, who are disproportionately black.
That Obama’s project was or ever would be racial and economic justice was always a dream – and the sooner we let go of this and recognize Obama for who he is and what he does, the better we’ll all be.
Some people who disagree with me believe I am racist … I fantasized that he’d join us on the front lines of marches, battle for the salvation of Obamacare in ingenious ways, and maybe turn up at a Black Lives Matter event. But this was all a fantasy. …”

Over to our top national news broadcaster to keep us up to date us ………
Not BBC but on Channel 4 tonight there is a programme about Orania, a small town in South Africa set up by whites who want to get away from black violence.
This is how the programme is described:
“In the heart of South Africa is one of the most extreme communities on the planet: the ‘whites only’ town of Orania. Ade Adepitan ventures into the lion’s den, as he spends a week living in the town and tries to find common ground with its residents.”
I am not expecting a fair-minded programme about white people who just want to live in peace.
Just wanting to live in peace and let the rest do their bizarre thing seems the sole province of islanders off India.

BBC Verify,the misinformation and propaganda unit. (Yours for just £150 per year and no questions asked)
(edited) By Jake Wallis Simmons writing in DT
Hamas and how the broadcast media ( BBC – mainly), aid organisations, international bodies and world leaders take its disinformation as gospel. Last week it became clear that this gullibility may have led to a crime against reality. The figures, repeated by everyone from the White House to the BBC, are freighted with familiarity: 30,000 dead in Gaza, 70 per cent of whom are women and children. Yet it now seems overwhelmingly likely that these statistics are fabricated. Prof Wyner found, showing little daily variation. Obviously, this bore no resemblance to any plausible version of reality. Then there was the fact that, according to Hamas data from 29 October, 26 men came back to life; and the fact that on several days, no men were apparently killed at all, but only women. Were we really supposed to believe any of this?
It’s not that there is a lack of journalistic curiosity in large parts of the media. It’s just that, when it comes to Israel, facts are subordinated to assumptions. In February, BBC Verify quoted a World Health Organisation official: The [Hamas] ministry has “‘good capacity in data collection’ and its previous reporting has been credible and ‘well developed’”. This was the same WHO that had singled out Israel for condemnation at an international assembly largely devoted to Covid. And this was the same BBC Verify that had partly based a story on an eyewitness who had reportedly worked for an Iranian state news outlet and celebrated the deaths of Jews on social media.
BBC verify is an interesting development. If, as the BBC claim all reports are trustworthy across the network, fact checked and edited by the largest news gathering team in the entire UK (sum of 21,000 BBC full time and part time journos) more than any UK Newspapers (all of them staff combined). Often root out the truth with investigation when the BBC does not. Time and time again, the BBC choose ‘lazy journalis’m and ‘risk free’ repeats straight off the REUTERS ‘tele-prompt’ without checking anything, or perhaps they do and reject it.
BBC Verify unit claims they have 60 ‘house trained journos’ on its staff. why does it not trust its own BBC staff network, do they not trust them to report the ‘truth’?
But when you check ‘BBC VERIFY unit’ its clear its a form of censorship against topical news it then disapproves of. “BBC Verify has little to do with exposing misinformation, and more to do with discrediting truths (sorry, ‘conspiracy theories’) the establishment disapproves of.” https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/whos-verifying-bbc-verify/
Stew Greens link above is also informing about the complete and utter pro palestinian bias in bbc “verify” reporting using activists who are “doctors” in Gazan hospitals and arab journalists who post messages celebrating attacks upon Israel and other extremely antisemitic content:
“BBC Verify – a hostile land of make believe.
Everyone makes mistakes. But I learnt a long time ago that the true levels of integrity and professionalism are seen in how people react when things go wrong. BBC Verify was caught basing a story on the words of an Iranian regime mouthpiece. Its response was to deflect, deny and double-down.
The headlines
A check of BBC Verify articles shows a clear bias against Israel
The BBC verify lens is set up to prosecute only Israel
The reliance on BBC Arabic destroys the credibility of BBC Verify
BBC Verify has numerous agency problems – resulting in articles consistently built upon unreliable witnesses.
Analysis of social media activity of the BBC Verify team underscores the bias.
Almost none of the BBC Verify team bothered to post anything until long after October 7
Some of the BBC Verify team have reposted the opinions of anti-Zionists and shared other fake news material demonising Israel
It is clear the BBC is wrong when it says BBC Verify do not have an (anti-Israel) agenda.
On March 1 the BBC Verify team published a story built around the eyewitness testimony of a Palestinian journalist named Mahmoud Awadeyah. It was Awadeyah who told the BBC that the Israelis had fired ‘purposefully’ at the men approaching the aid trucks. He was the only eyewitness to the actual event quoted by BBC Verify and so without him – they didn’t really have a story to write.
I hunted the journalist down online and found he worked for outlets connected to Hamas and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard. I also found him celebrating deadly terrorist attacks, along with images of him dining with a leading Islamic Jihad terrorist.
BBC: “We stand by our journalism and reject the allegations in this piece.
It is jaw-dropping that they reduced the long list of Awadeyah’s failings to him simply ‘expressing an opinion’. Working for the IRGC, dining with a commander of the Islamic Jihad, and dancing when Jews are murdered – is hardly just ‘expressing opinion’. It is as if they are talking about which toppings he prefers on his Pizza.
On Tuesday 12 March, BBC News / BBC Verify published an exclusive story that accused Israel of abusing Gazan medical staff. Because demonisation of Israel acts as a fix to a nation experiencing an addiction to antisemitism, the item was widely shared. In the end even the British Foreign Minister David Cameron felt the need to respond, calling the report ‘very disturbing’. The BBC played its part by holding the item on the front page far longer than usual.
But when you break the BBC exclusive down, cracks emerge in the story. In fact the entire piece relies on human input from just six separate sources. Three of them were Arabic speaking journalists – the other three were witnesses from the hospital.
Soha Ibrahim BBC Arabic journalist
Marie-Jose Al Azzi BBC Arabic journalist
Muath Al Khatib Palestinian WAFA journalist
Dr Atef Hout, Doctor at Nasser hospital
Abu Sabha, Doctor at Nasser hospital
Hatem Raba, Doctor at Nasser hospital
Two of the three journalists actually work for the BBC. From their timelines it is clear nobody at the BBC is checking the BBC Arabic staff.
The first is Soha Ibrahim. Her timeline is toxic beyond measure. Just two examples of Ibrahim liking posts that celebrated and supported the Oct 7 attack
The second journalist Marie-Jose Al Azzi –has already deleted some of her timeline. She was caught a few years ago supporting BDS and trying to persuade artists not to perform in Israel.
Despite this, she is still on the BBC payroll. And then there is the Palestinian, Muath Al Khatib . He went to Thailand and was triggered by the number of Jewish people he saw there.
The three ‘doctors’
Then there are the three doctors who act as the reliable witnesses in the BBC story. The first is Dr Atef Hout. He was the witness who told the BBC that ‘anyone who moved would have been shot’ by the IDF. Here he is in 2021 celebrating rocket attacks against innocent Israeli civilians.
Next up was Ahmed Wael Abu Sabha – he claims he was beaten and abused by the IDF. In this post he is glorifying the terrorist Uday Al Tamimi:
And finally there is Hatem Raba. He told the BBC people were ‘dying of thirst’. I found a Facebook profile of him as a doctor in Gaza. But the profile is only three months old. Before this he had a different profile, showing him as a political activist for Fatah.
It really is this easy to fool the BBC. He also shares material that glorifies terrorism.
Six sources – and all of them are problematic. Between the six sources listed above they could contrive anything – and BBC Verify would swallow it whole. Which is exactly how the BBC ends up acting as a Hamas propaganda outlet.
https://x.com/EFischberger/status/1769836495722987533?s=20
🧵Probably the most sophisticated Al Jazeera “journalist” psy-op yet:
You may have seen the headlines today about Al Jazeera journalist Ismail al-Ghoul, who was apprehended by the IDF in Shifa Hospital while it was battling terrorists.
Given the multiple instances since October 7th of Al Jazeera journalists moonlighting as Hamas operatives (or vice versa), I figured I’d take a look into al-Ghoul as well.
What I found was a highly sophisticated, concerted effort to – for lack of a better word – manufacture a “legitimate journalist” out of whole cloth.
Ben Wallis – the retired defence minister – tells his party to walk toward the guns – when in fact – it’s more like walk toward the mine field ….i won’t do parallels with the Somme – day one – but blue labour really is going to be slaughtered – hopefully ministers such as hunt will lose their seats . Vote Reform .
Biden has told Netanyahu “it would be a mistake to enter Raffa”, and Netanyahu has agreed to send a delegation to Washington.
Why is this important? Because the Israeli lobby in Washington is very strong, and if Biden is taking this position it is because others have told him to.
If Netanyahu has lost, or is in danger of losing the support of that US group he will not be in charge for much longer.

The new strategy is designed to harness a major expansion in green energy that will see Britain’s offshore windfarm capacity growing to become the biggest in Europe and larger even than the USA’s.
But ‘bottlenecks’ in the current grid system prevent renewable electricity being transported from where it is generated to where it is used.
Britain’s electricity grid, which dates back to the 1950s, was designed around coal-fired power stations in the centre of the country, which has required only small upgrades since.
But growth in the demand for power from the grid will accelerate over the next decade as motorists switch to electric cars and more heating needs are met through electricity rather than gas.
‘The current grid is reaching its capacity and is unable to transport much more electricity,’ the report said.
‘Currently, energy is being wasted as the grid cannot transport it to where it can be used.
‘Because of these bottlenecks, as the system operator, we sometimes have to ask wind farms to switch off to prevent the grid becoming overloaded – wasting cheap, sustainable, home-grown wind power.’
The plans are in addition to £60billion of investment in infrastructure needed by 2030 that was laid out in a previous report, but which the new document says will ‘only get Britain so far in its journey towards producing the greener and cheaper electricity that will be needed’.

I f people really are so desperate for foodbanks
then why do I see them advertising on Facebook all the time ?
“Here’s some photos of our jammed shelves
come on down and get some FREE stuff”
IMHO Foodbanks are not about DEMAND, they are about the supply
.. The point is the supermarkets have masses of cheap food and new laws mean it can’t be thrown away .. as a result the Foodbank supply is massive

Words, punctuation and pauses (Obama pauses a lot) have a price … Barack Obama’s $400,000 speaking fees reveal what few want to admit {theguardian may2017}
“The reason many of us have been critical of Barack Obama’s outrageous $400,000 speaking fee is that it robs us of a fantasy: that sooner or later, the first black president was going to use his considerable powers, in or out of office, to help the economic ravages of the poor, who are disproportionately black.
That Obama’s project was or ever would be racial and economic justice was always a dream – and the sooner we let go of this and recognize Obama for who he is and what he does, the better we’ll all be.
Some people who disagree with me believe I am racist … I fantasized that he’d join us on the front lines of marches, battle for the salvation of Obamacare in ingenious ways, and maybe turn up at a Black Lives Matter event. But this was all a fantasy. …”

“A priest who led an evangelical movement in the 1980s and 1990s has appeared in court to face multiple allegations of sexual offences against former members of a church congregation.
The Reverend Christopher Brain led the so-called Nine O’Clock Service in Sheffield between 1986 and 1995.
Brain appeared at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court for a four-minute hearing on Monday, where he faced charges in relation to 11 women.
one count of rape and 33 counts of indecent assault, alleged to have been committed between 1981 and 1995.

Not BBC but on Channel 4 tonight there is a programme about Orania, a small town in South Africa set up by whites who want to get away from black violence.
This is how the programme is described:
“In the heart of South Africa is one of the most extreme communities on the planet: the ‘whites only’ town of Orania. Ade Adepitan ventures into the lion’s den, as he spends a week living in the town and tries to find common ground with its residents.”
I am not expecting a fair-minded programme about white people who just want to live in peace.

The mall in the picture is, (was ) Palestine Square.
It now looks like this after being flattened and bulldozed by the IDF.

Underneath the square, a network of tunnels and shafts were found (although this cannot be independently verified)
They were allegedly occupied by Hamas ( proscribed as a terror organisation by the UK Government and others’)

BBC Verify,the misinformation and propaganda unit. (Yours for just £150 per year and no questions asked)
(edited) By Jake Wallis Simmons writing in DT
Hamas and how the broadcast media ( BBC – mainly), aid organisations, international bodies and world leaders take its disinformation as gospel. Last week it became clear that this gullibility may have led to a crime against reality. The figures, repeated by everyone from the White House to the BBC, are freighted with familiarity: 30,000 dead in Gaza, 70 per cent of whom are women and children. Yet it now seems overwhelmingly likely that these statistics are fabricated. Prof Wyner found, showing little daily variation. Obviously, this bore no resemblance to any plausible version of reality. Then there was the fact that, according to Hamas data from 29 October, 26 men came back to life; and the fact that on several days, no men were apparently killed at all, but only women. Were we really supposed to believe any of this?
It’s not that there is a lack of journalistic curiosity in large parts of the media. It’s just that, when it comes to Israel, facts are subordinated to assumptions. In February, BBC Verify quoted a World Health Organisation official: The [Hamas] ministry has “‘good capacity in data collection’ and its previous reporting has been credible and ‘well developed’”. This was the same WHO that had singled out Israel for condemnation at an international assembly largely devoted to Covid. And this was the same BBC Verify that had partly based a story on an eyewitness who had reportedly worked for an Iranian state news outlet and celebrated the deaths of Jews on social media.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/16/could-be-devastating-proof-hamas-faking-death-figures/
BBC verify is an interesting development. If, as the BBC claim all reports are trustworthy across the network, fact checked and edited by the largest news gathering team in the entire UK (sum of 21,000 BBC full time and part time journos) more than any UK Newspapers (all of them staff combined). Often root out the truth with investigation when the BBC does not. Time and time again, the BBC choose ‘lazy journalis’m and ‘risk free’ repeats straight off the REUTERS ‘tele-prompt’ without checking anything, or perhaps they do and reject it.
BBC Verify unit claims they have 60 ‘house trained journos’ on its staff. why does it not trust its own BBC staff network, do they not trust them to report the ‘truth’?
But when you check ‘BBC VERIFY unit’ its clear its a form of censorship against topical news it then disapproves of.
“BBC Verify has little to do with exposing misinformation, and more to do with discrediting truths (sorry, ‘conspiracy theories’) the establishment disapproves of.”

Stew Greens link above is also informing about the complete and utter pro palestinian bias in bbc “verify” reporting using activists who are “doctors” in Gazan hospitals and arab journalists who post messages celebrating attacks upon Israel and other extremely antisemitic content:
“BBC Verify – a hostile land of make believe.
Everyone makes mistakes. But I learnt a long time ago that the true levels of integrity and professionalism are seen in how people react when things go wrong. BBC Verify was caught basing a story on the words of an Iranian regime mouthpiece. Its response was to deflect, deny and double-down.
The headlines
A check of BBC Verify articles shows a clear bias against Israel
The BBC verify lens is set up to prosecute only Israel
The reliance on BBC Arabic destroys the credibility of BBC Verify
BBC Verify has numerous agency problems – resulting in articles consistently built upon unreliable witnesses.
Analysis of social media activity of the BBC Verify team underscores the bias.
Almost none of the BBC Verify team bothered to post anything until long after October 7
Some of the BBC Verify team have reposted the opinions of anti-Zionists and shared other fake news material demonising Israel
It is clear the BBC is wrong when it says BBC Verify do not have an (anti-Israel) agenda.
On March 1 the BBC Verify team published a story built around the eyewitness testimony of a Palestinian journalist named Mahmoud Awadeyah. It was Awadeyah who told the BBC that the Israelis had fired ‘purposefully’ at the men approaching the aid trucks. He was the only eyewitness to the actual event quoted by BBC Verify and so without him – they didn’t really have a story to write.
I hunted the journalist down online and found he worked for outlets connected to Hamas and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard. I also found him celebrating deadly terrorist attacks, along with images of him dining with a leading Islamic Jihad terrorist.
BBC: “We stand by our journalism and reject the allegations in this piece.
It is jaw-dropping that they reduced the long list of Awadeyah’s failings to him simply ‘expressing an opinion’. Working for the IRGC, dining with a commander of the Islamic Jihad, and dancing when Jews are murdered – is hardly just ‘expressing opinion’. It is as if they are talking about which toppings he prefers on his Pizza.

Another horrific reporting error
On Tuesday 12 March, BBC News / BBC Verify published an exclusive story that accused Israel of abusing Gazan medical staff. Because demonisation of Israel acts as a fix to a nation experiencing an addiction to antisemitism, the item was widely shared. In the end even the British Foreign Minister David Cameron felt the need to respond, calling the report ‘very disturbing’. The BBC played its part by holding the item on the front page far longer than usual.
But when you break the BBC exclusive down, cracks emerge in the story. In fact the entire piece relies on human input from just six separate sources. Three of them were Arabic speaking journalists – the other three were witnesses from the hospital.
Soha Ibrahim BBC Arabic journalist
Marie-Jose Al Azzi BBC Arabic journalist
Muath Al Khatib Palestinian WAFA journalist
Dr Atef Hout, Doctor at Nasser hospital
Abu Sabha, Doctor at Nasser hospital
Hatem Raba, Doctor at Nasser hospital
Two of the three journalists actually work for the BBC. From their timelines it is clear nobody at the BBC is checking the BBC Arabic staff.
The first is Soha Ibrahim. Her timeline is toxic beyond measure. Just two examples of Ibrahim liking posts that celebrated and supported the Oct 7 attack
The second journalist Marie-Jose Al Azzi –has already deleted some of her timeline. She was caught a few years ago supporting BDS and trying to persuade artists not to perform in Israel.
Despite this, she is still on the BBC payroll. And then there is the Palestinian, Muath Al Khatib . He went to Thailand and was triggered by the number of Jewish people he saw there.
The three ‘doctors’
Then there are the three doctors who act as the reliable witnesses in the BBC story. The first is Dr Atef Hout. He was the witness who told the BBC that ‘anyone who moved would have been shot’ by the IDF. Here he is in 2021 celebrating rocket attacks against innocent Israeli civilians.
Next up was Ahmed Wael Abu Sabha – he claims he was beaten and abused by the IDF. In this post he is glorifying the terrorist Uday Al Tamimi:
And finally there is Hatem Raba. He told the BBC people were ‘dying of thirst’. I found a Facebook profile of him as a doctor in Gaza. But the profile is only three months old. Before this he had a different profile, showing him as a political activist for Fatah.
It really is this easy to fool the BBC. He also shares material that glorifies terrorism.
Six sources – and all of them are problematic. Between the six sources listed above they could contrive anything – and BBC Verify would swallow it whole. Which is exactly how the BBC ends up acting as a Hamas propaganda outlet.

🧵Probably the most sophisticated Al Jazeera “journalist” psy-op yet:
You may have seen the headlines today about Al Jazeera journalist Ismail al-Ghoul, who was apprehended by the IDF in Shifa Hospital while it was battling terrorists.
Given the multiple instances since October 7th of Al Jazeera journalists moonlighting as Hamas operatives (or vice versa), I figured I’d take a look into al-Ghoul as well.
What I found was a highly sophisticated, concerted effort to – for lack of a better word – manufacture a “legitimate journalist” out of whole cloth.

Biden has told Netanyahu “it would be a mistake to enter Raffa”, and Netanyahu has agreed to send a delegation to Washington.
Why is this important? Because the Israeli lobby in Washington is very strong, and if Biden is taking this position it is because others have told him to.
If Netanyahu has lost, or is in danger of losing the support of that US group he will not be in charge for much longer.

“Keeping the lights on while meeting green energy targets will require £60 billion to fix the UK’s electricity grid, report warns”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13211937/Keeping-lights-meeting-green-energy-targets-require-60-billion-fix-UKs-electricity-grid-report-warns.html
The new strategy is designed to harness a major expansion in green energy that will see Britain’s offshore windfarm capacity growing to become the biggest in Europe and larger even than the USA’s.
But ‘bottlenecks’ in the current grid system prevent renewable electricity being transported from where it is generated to where it is used.
Britain’s electricity grid, which dates back to the 1950s, was designed around coal-fired power stations in the centre of the country, which has required only small upgrades since.
But growth in the demand for power from the grid will accelerate over the next decade as motorists switch to electric cars and more heating needs are met through electricity rather than gas.
‘The current grid is reaching its capacity and is unable to transport much more electricity,’ the report said.
‘Currently, energy is being wasted as the grid cannot transport it to where it can be used.
‘Because of these bottlenecks, as the system operator, we sometimes have to ask wind farms to switch off to prevent the grid becoming overloaded – wasting cheap, sustainable, home-grown wind power.’
The plans are in addition to £60billion of investment in infrastructure needed by 2030 that was laid out in a previous report, but which the new document says will ‘only get Britain so far in its journey towards producing the greener and cheaper electricity that will be needed’.
