‘To any non-Muslim reader of the Koran, Islamophobia — fear of Islam — seems a natural reaction, and, indeed, exactly what that text is intended to provoke.
Judged purely on its scripture — to say nothing of what is preached in the mosques — it is the most viciously sectarian of all religions in its heartlessness towards unbelievers. We look in vain for the enlightened Islamic teachers and preachers who will begin the process of reform. What is going on in these mosques and madrasas? When is someone going to get 18th century on Islam’s mediaeval ass? ‘

Boris Johnson [Now Foreign Secretary]

Pienaar interviewed John McDonnell this morning, there was no grilling over his call for violent, armed revolution and the overthrow of the Establishment…a mere 5 years ago.

Then we had Adrian Goldberg carrying on with the BBC’s mission to undermine and destroy the anti-terror Prevent programme.  Who did he ask as to why we should reconsider Prevent?  MEND….the very type of people Prevent is actually concerned about….Islamists who press all the wrong buttons within the Muslim community…as far as Western, democratic, liberal society is concerned.

So the BBC is not concerned about a far left revolutionary calling for armed struggle, nor about a group of people who most people would consider Islamist extremists in their ideology.

What does concern the BBC?

Well There’s Trump himself of course…we were told he would be a danger to world peace by his desire to maintain good relations with Russia…curiously the BBC made absolutely no mention of that previous analysis by them when it turns out he may want Mitt Romney as his Secretary of State, someone who said in 2012 that Russia was the US’s “number one geopolitical foe.”.  So is Trump going to prostrate himself in front of Putin as Obama did in front of Iran as the BBC were suggesting oh such a short time ago…or will he take a measured, balanced and calculating approach to geopolitics as such an appointment might suggest?

Then there’s Sessions and General Flynn…listen to BBC news bulletins and you’d think the KKK had got a representative in the government and that all Muslims will be machine-gunned.  The truth is naturally a lot different…but even the supposedly more comprehensive BBC write ups don’t bother to provide the full truth and a more rounded picture.

Sessions, they tell us, is essentially a racist…how do they know?  Well a black man who worked with Sessions said so…case closed…nevermind this same man had made allegations about others…serial complainer?

Sessions, despite the BBC’s sly linking of him to the KKK by saying the KKK have praised his appointment, was actually instrumental in the destruction of a KKK organisation after he prosecuted the son of the Alabama Klan leader for the killing of a black man…and had him executed.  Why does the BBC not menion that inconvenient fact rather than try to imply he is a racist?  He also pushed for the desegregation of schools.  Some racist.

We do not disassociate Islam from war. On the contrary, disassociating Islam from war is the reason for our defeat. We are fighting in the name of Islam. Religion must lead to war. This is the only way we can win.’
Said by the moderate and respected Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, February 2006

As for Flynn…the BBC is outraged that he once said that it is entirely rational to fear Muslims.

 

General Flynn Verified account ‏@GenFlynn

Good old Boris might agree…‘To any non-Muslim reader of the Koran, Islamophobia — fear of Islam — seems a natural reaction, and, indeed, exactly what that text is intended to provoke. ‘

When you look at what Muslim community leaders and groups attempt to do, not just the violent ones, and you look at what Islam means in the real world, to gays, Jews, women, apostates, non-Muslims and those who ‘offend’ Islam, you can understand what he means.  Just look at the UK’s most representative, mainstream Muslim group, the MCB…extreme in its conservatism, fundamentalist, at the heart of the Trojan Horse plot,with an anti-British foreign policy stance, a senior member advocated attacks on British forces, and of course is adamently against Ahmadis being decribed as Muslim…hence we get attacks on Ahmadis, Ahmadis being killed in the UK because they are not ‘Muslim’ as described by the MCB.  A so-called ‘moderate’ Muslim group is anything but moderate in any Western sense of the word.

Is Islam compatible with a Western, liberal democracy?  Even Muslims would tell you not.  So is Flynn right?

The BBC says he was sacked from his job for saying uncomfortable truths about Islam but then implies that he was actually sacked for being a bad manager…

Former US officials who worked closely with Gen Flynn described him as extremely smart, though a poor manager.

Curiously Flynn says absolutely not…So why does the BBC not believe him?…..

I asked the DNI (Gen. James Clapper) if my leadership of the agency was in question and he said it was not; had it been, he said, they would have relieved me on the spot.

The BBC also, disapprovingly, cherry picks his thought that the Islamic world is an epic failure…who could really disagree with that….1000 years of Muslim imposed Dark Ages upon so many countries?  Even the Islamist Mehdi Hasan [once such a BBC darling] admits Islam has failed…and encourages Muslims to ‘battle’ the West…and to do so they must encourage education above all else…and Muslims must infiltrate the Media in order to press Muslim ideology and gain influence…. to make Islam the dominant religious and political force in Britain

What has Mehdi Hasan got to say?

He states that there are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world….and between them they have a total of 10 Nobel prizes.  The Jews, with a population of 12 million have 150 Nobel prizes.  All 6 Jewish Universities are in the top 20 in a world ranking.  There are no Muslim universities in the top 200.

 He goes on to say:

We wonder why we are losing battles, we are not being out fought, we are being out thought.

We are not under armed, we are undereducated.

We have lost the ability to think, to acquire knowledge, to advance intellectually and then we wonder why our community is in such decay.

But the BBC thinks both Flynn and Sessions are ‘controversial’…and yet have nothing to say about McDonnell and MEND.

Hasan also quotes from this fellow , who must presumably also be considered an anti-Muslim bigot…despite, like Hasan, being a Muslim:

Pervez Hoodbhoy is professor of nuclear and high-energy physics at Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad. This article is based on a speech delivered at the Center for Inquiry International conference in Atlanta, Georgia, 2001.

In the twelfth century Muslim orthodoxy reawakened, spearheaded by the cleric Imam Al-Ghazali. Al-Ghazali championed revelation over reason, predestination over free will. He refuted the possibility of relating cause to effect, teaching that man cannot know or predict what will happen; God alone can. He damned mathematics as against Islam, an intoxicant of the mind that weakened faith.

Islam choked in the vicelike grip of orthodoxy.

It was the end of tolerance, intellect, and science in the Muslim world. The last great Muslim thinker, Abd- al Rahman ibn Khaldun, belonged to the 14th century.

For Muslims, it is time to stop wallowing in self-pity: Muslims are not helpless victims of conspiracies hatched by an all-powerful, malicious West. The fact is that the decline of Islamic greatness took place long before the age of mercantile imperialism. The causes were essentially internal. Therefore Muslims must introspect, and ask what went wrong.

With apologies to the Ramones for the title of this piece, I wanted to draw your attention to more FAKE NEWS put out by the BBC today. First this….

Donald Trump has nominated his close conservative ally Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions as attorney general. How interesting, let’s see what the BBC tells us about him…

Mr Sessions, a former prosecutor, was turned down for a federal judgeship in 1986 because of alleged racist remarks. Conservative Republican Mike Pompeo has been nominated as CIA director and retired Lt-Gen Michael Flynn has been appointed national security adviser.

And what else does the BBC throw into the mix?

Mr Trump’s latest picks were praised on Twitter by David Duke, former leader of the white supremacist KKK group.

Listen, BBC, your cringeworthy race-baiting doesn’t work anymore. For the past year you have thrown endless mud at President Elect Trump and it didn’t work. He still won. And what YOU have to do is stop the pathetic bleating and KKK references and all the rest of your childish attempts to smear the man who will shortly occupy the White House.

A Biased BBC reader contributes..

The weekend approaches and this is overdue! Detail the bias here!

The Today programme wrapped up today with the usual BBC Islamist nonsense…that the Prevent anti-radicalisation programme is a complete failure that alienates Muslims and must be scrapped…and of course that Mosques and Islam do not radicalise Muslims…it’s the internet.  Oh…and there is no ‘clash of civilisations’….we all get along famously. Interesting that Sara Khan wasn’t invited on to talk about Prevent…possibly because she has been making a very positive case for it whereas the fellow the BBC dragged in, Jannah Mahmood, is a well known critic of the programme who has adopted the Islamist narrative on it.

Even Jon Snow doesn’t believe that old tosh…he brought us the ‘true voices of Muslims in Britain’…telling us that Muslim integration has come to a standstill and the younger Muslims are rejecting liberal Britain…they want a Britain that bends to the will of Allah…and this was in 2007….

And what of this ‘Trumpesque’ message from the French PM?…

The EU will COLLAPSE if Germany and France do not begin to listen to people’s concerns on immigration and Islamist terrorism, says French PM

Or this?

‘They want us to be Islamised. They despise our country and our values’: Translator at German refugee camp says Muslim migrants display ‘pure hatred’ of Christians 

Will the BBC listen and understand or continue to peddle the Big Lie?

Samira Ahmed has this pinned to the top of her Twitter feed…

Fascinating, the presenter of BBC’s Newswatch’s reaction to the story about Justin webb and his false claim that Breitbart’s ex-chairman was anti-Semitic.  Was the reaction of one of the BBC’s ‘watchdogs’ one of horror and apology for this outrageous slur?  [H/T  DB and Is the BBC biased?]

Errrr…no.  Quite the opposite in fact.  She, Samira Ahmed, wanted more….she thought the problem was that Webb allowed the interviewee [Joel Pollak, editor of Breitbart] to slap him down with a correction and this just wasn’t on…never mind that Webb was wrong and himself stated that the interviewee was quite right to protest.

Ahmed implicitly compared the Jewish founded Breitbart and its Jewish editor to Islamist extremists and said that Webb essentially wasn’t up to the job of asking searching, challenging questions and needed someone else on to challenge Pollak…such as an Islamist extremist perhaps?

She claimed that the interview was no more than PR for Breitbart…because the editor was able to correct the slander made by Webb.  Can’t have truth getting in the way of a good story can we?

Interesting who joins the conversation….

• Janine Gibson ‏@janinegibson 10h

  @SamiraAhmedUK patently untrue assertions such as “he has never said a bad word about anyone” so hard to deal with live

Janine Gibson?  Who she?  Well you may have noted I have mentioned several times now how the BBC seems to be in a very close collaboration with Buzzfeed these days….Gibson is the editor-in-chief of Buzzfeed UK.

Buzzfeed are doing the digging for the BBC’s stories about ‘Fake News’ [LOL] and look who’s in there with them…the boys from Cardiff University …you know the ones…they whose research found that the BBC was in fact ‘right-wing’ [I’m running out of LOL’s]

The BBC has suddenly become very interested in protecting Jews from anti-Semitic political figures, no not those in the Labour Party but those who come from the ‘Alt-Right’ as the BBC’s new Newspeak lexicon of words and phrases hunts out new ways to define and defame Trump and his supporters ….along with the great phrase ‘Post Truth’ . [What’s so great about that phrase is that it immediately identifies the user as a lefty and an idiot who can be safely ignored as someone who doesn’t think for themselves but just parrots the ‘right’ right-on phrases they’ve picked up in the Guardian or in the New Stateman hoping it makes them look and sound clever]

Ironically the BBC itself may be said to be one of the major causes of the rise of anti-Semitism as it buries the deadly effects of immigration into Europe of those who hold such views and encourages us to welcome ever more of them into Europe,  and by its reprehensible, extreme and one-sided reporting about Israel and its close working association with Hamas members in Gaza…the BBC infamously and blatantly revealing its views about Israel when a reporter suggested that Jews should expect to be attacked in Europe because of what Israel does.

So yes, Labour’s little problem gets relatively little attention, Jews being forced to flee Europe once again also receive scant attention, certainly the real causes of that barely merit investigation but someone from a right-leaning news website, Breitbart [founded by a Jew] who goes to work for Trump is inexcusably and inaccurately accused by Justin Webb [He who told us all the evidence pointed towards the Boston bombs being the work of white supremacists] of not liking Jews….from Guido…

An entertaining Today programme to-and-fro about Breitbart’s chief Trump strategist Steve Bannon. Justin Webb boldly told Breitbart* editor Joel Pollack that Bannon “doesn’t like Jews”, Pollack replied that he [Pollack] is an orthodox Jew who observes the Shabbat and eats kosher food, and that Bannon is not an anti-Semite. Undeterred, Webb asked why a Breitbart report mentioned that the journalist Anne Applebaum is Jewish. Pollack replied: “I don’t know, why don’t you ask the Jewish author of that sentence?”

Justin Webb gets slapped down in no uncertain terms [for the second time this week as he earlier this week falsely told listeners that the NHS was attempting to keep reforms secret] and then whines, unconvincingly, that he wasn’t at all meaning that Bannon or anyone else was anti-Semitic….and kosher pigs will fly.  [If only more politicians and interviewees would stand up to the BBC’s bullying and intimidation]

Curiously the BBC doesn’t tackle the real story today…that the Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, incited people to armed rebellion……how is it that the BBC can ignore the second most senior person in Labour encouraging people to attack politicians, the police and the army…on a day when the killer of Jo Cox is on trial for the murder of a politician that the BBC and its chums on the Left all told us was an appalling attack on democracy, the result of an atmosphere of disrespect and hate for politicians driven by the Right.  The reality is it is the Left which drives the most dangerous anti-politician, anti-Establishment narrative, one that the BBC is at the forefront of supporting be they black rioters, student rioters or Occupy aiming to smash Capitalism and all that.

McDonnell wrote this in 2011….a mere 5 years ago, not when he was an overexcited, hot-headed youth, but supposedly a mature, experienced and measured politician in a very senior position….

Who knows what other operations the secret police and secret services carry out against those who campaign for change in this society? Imagine what lengths the ruling class would go to in order to preserve all of its wealth and power. 

“In fact, we don’t have to imagine; there are clear examples of it in recent history. In Chile in the 1970s there was a Popular Unity government that enacted the mildest reforms, while the people demanded more rapid change. 

“The Chilean ruling class response, with the backing of the US, was to unleash a bloody dictatorship that led to the murder and disappearance of thousands of people.

The BBC has gone to war, against the government, against those who voted for Brexit,  against Trump and those who voted for him.  The BBC’s bubble, it’s comfort zone, where it and its fellow travellers control the media narrative and thus they hope the politicians, is being rapidly burst as the unthinkable happens, and keeps on happening.  A majority Tory government was never supposed to happen, the BBC predicted the end of the normal party political system, Brexit was never going to happen and Trump, that racist, sexist, vulgar Islamophobe had no chance in hell of getting elected….and what next as elections and referendums are ongoing across Europe?  The BBC is terrified it is all over for them and their ilk.

The BBC as political analyst is pretty much a waste of space.

The reason is simple…they don’t deliver the news they deliver what they want you to hear…and that doesn’t correspond to reality.

Their desperate response, as the Right sweeps to victory across the free world, is to go to war.

It’s a war of words but with massive political implications.  The BBC in the last three days has fed the watching public three huge lies.  Three huge lies that are massively political and with what the BBC hopes huge political fallout.

First we had the attack on Trump claiming he had betrayed the people who voted for him saying he had now u-turned on Obamacare…the truth was that what the BBC claimed he only said a few days ago he actually said over a year ago and then again many times more, in televised debates. Second big lie….the NHS is attempting to keep its reforms a secret because they are so bad…again a lie, a lie shot down on the Today programme by the man who authored the report that the BBC was basing their big lie upon…and yet throughout the day they kept up that lie.  The third big lie came today when they quite deliberately reported, without any regard as to whether it was true or not, that ‘a cabinet memo’ had been leaked that made serious and damaging criticisms of the government and the Brexit process.  This was a blatant lie that was also shot down on the Today programme and yet the BBC continued to report the memo as if it was fact, even though they at one stage admitted it was merely a firm of consultants pitching for business from the government and was not solicited nor commissioned by the goverment.  The BBC are now telling us how important this memo is despite it being to all intents and purposes a ‘fake’ leaked by the Remain camp in order to stir up trouble….

Does the Brexit memo matter?

The document does matter because it underlines what we have reported and others have written about many times.

No, actually, it doesn’t matter one jot.  It says nothing that hasn’t been spun by anti-Brexit sources for months now…there’s nothing new and it has absolutely no authority nor credibility being a freelance effort by a company that is desperate to stay in the EU.  To the BBC it is important because it peddles the same pro-EU narrative that the BBC has been peddling for months now.  Go figure.

No coincidence that the fake ‘cabinet memo’ parrots exactly the themes of Labour’s John McDonnell’s upcoming speech and has been released just before he makes this speech…..

Meanwhile, shadow chancellor John McDonnell is due to say that the government’s “shambolic” approach to Brexit is failing to equip the UK economy for leaving the EU.

In a speech later, he will say the chancellor is isolated from cabinet colleagues and “too weak” to make Brexit a success.

The BBC is certainly going big.  Goebbels, Hitler’s master of propaganda, operated on the principle that the bigger the lie the more likely people are to believe it, and the more often it was made the better.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

The problem the BBC has these days is that the Internet makes lying much more tricky.  Not only can people easily fact-check you but can then disseminate the truth to counter your lies that much more easily as they have never been able to before.

Which is why the BBC spends so much time now trying to persuade politicians to rein in and control the internet.  We’ve had the BBC stories about fake news, nearly always the attack is on ‘right leaning’ sources, though the BBC itself ironically being the master of that particular skill of disseminating fake news, and this line of attack resurfaced yesterday as the BBC helps those on the Left to try to attack Facebook by claiming it helped Trump become president and that Breitbart, which the BBC hates and falsely describes as essentially a far-right extremist, racist, anti-semitic site, also helped and now has one of its bosses advising Trump.  The BBC is obsessed with Facebook doing several long stories on it….

Note how once again the news source feeding the BBC the story is Buzzfeed…..the BBC seems to have a very, very close partnership with Buzzfeed….does it use Buzzfeed to dig out stories it can’t break for fear of looking partisan and then reports them as ‘Buzzfeed stories’? [It did the same with Whittingdale…they couldn’t break the story of his dalliances with a prostitute because it would look too obviously a politically motivated hit job…so they, in collaboration with anti-Press campaigners, got a small, almost unknown, website to break the story]

The BBC et al are aiming to control who is allowed to publish on the internet and what they say….they want to have the right to judge what is news, what kind of news stories are published, to make judgement calls on not just their truth but also on their merits ethically and morally or merely whether they fit in with the likes of the BBC’s own values and beliefs.

It is an extremely sinister attack on free speech and thought.  The BBC aims to police the internet so that news and views are filtered through a left-wing prism….want to talk about immigration or Islam or climate change?  No, sorry, they can’t approve that.

As said many times here, the BBC is one of the greatest threats to democracy, freedom and a civilised society.

The BBC milked this story for all it has been worth as part of its nauseating “The Government doesn’t know what to do about Brexit”…..and then this arrived later in the day

Downing Street has “wholeheartedly” rejected comments in a memorandum leaked to the press describing cabinet “divisions” over Brexit.

The document, compiled by consultancy firm Deloitte and obtained by the Times newspaper, says Whitehall is working on 500 Brexit-related projects and could need 30,000 extra staff. But the prime minister’s spokeswoman said the work had been “unsolicited”. And Deloitte said there had been no “access” to Number 10 for the report. No “input from any other government departments” had been received, the company added.

And then I should remind you of this...

David Sproul, Deloitte’s UK chief executive, is in favour of the UK remaining part of the European Union, while the rest of the Big Four keep their cards close to their chest

Deloitte – one more embittered Remain organisation being used by the BBC in pursuance of its Remain agenda.

Will they EVER stop weeping?
