webdiary_not-so-libre: AusBC + Anne Barker = propaganda

.. we just ...

.. do not do ...

.. coincidences

Preamble 1; from my uk riots: A proper "of, by, for the people etc." democracy requires at least these three; 1) an informed & engaged electorate, 2) full & free info-flows, and 3) a wide range of honest candidates who, if/when elected, represent the electorate by implementing the will of the majority, protecting any minorities. Our, i.e. US, UK, Aus and other such 'pretend democracy' rogue-regimes, fail all three. Deliberately dumbed-down citizens, distracted by trivia & disinformation on TV, a corrupt & venal MSM (did anyone mention Murdoch?), and most representatives sell-out to the highest bidder, usually corporations but worst-case, the "Israel Lobby."

Preamble 2: Back in the early 70s, I had a 'debate' with a friend on the ME problem, whereby I took a pro-Z approach. I was wrong, as wrong as wrong could be. *Why* I was wrong, was because I had based my arguments on what I had learned from 'reports' in the media, almost exclusively from the AusBC. Since I was wrong, so the info I had been 'fed' was wrong; this forms my prima facie case against the AusBC. Nothing of significance has changed much in the meantime - and further, that both the AusBC and the various Aus governments follow a pro-Z 'line' forms a prima facie case showing collusion, and since the Zs are criminal, this pro-Z collusion forms a conspiracy - primarily against truth & justice for the hapless Palestinians, but also against us, we the sheople, since by and large we are not criminal and do not wish to support or even associate with criminals.

Now, to Anne Barker. She had a 'wonderful' start to her stint as ME-correspondent; she was observing a demo by extremist Z-settlers (aka illegal occupiers) - and was spat upon by same extremist Z-settlers. But she persevered, regularly reporting from the ME - including, wherever possible, propagandist digs with a pro-Z slant and/or a pro-US regime slant - note that any slant = bias, and since the Z and US regimes are rogue, Barker's slant is, as the AusBC's itself in general, against we the sheople's interests. The easiest way to prove this is to Google for: iran nuclear weapon "the west" "Anne Barker" site:abc.net.au - which just returned "About 105 results (0.20 secs)". Q: Why is this propagandistic? A: Because it is the agreed verdict of the entire US-intelligence community, that Iran does *not* have a nuclear weapons program. Certain parties, namely the rogue Z-regime and the US-neoCons plus hangers-on & apologists wish to attack Iran; Barker's propaganda aligns with such wishes, quote; "The moves coincide with Iranian warnings against any attack. Its arch-foes, the United States and Israel, have not ruled out taking military action over Tehran's controversial nuclear program." Note the language; 'arch-foes,' 'military action.' Note the allegation; "controversial nuclear program" - which, whatever it is, is known *not* to be for weapons, see US-intel. Iran is under continual aggressive attack by rogue-regimes; has been since at least 1953 when the vile US/UK meddlers deposed the democratically elected Mossadegh. Not so BTW; Iran has oil, as does Iraq & Libya - as if you didn't know.

Another; "ANNE BARKER: ... But 20 per cent enriched uranium is enough to produce a weapon if there's a big enough quantity ..."

Me: What rubbish; criminal, inflammatory & *wrong* propagandist-rubbish. Yet this is what is passed off by the AusBC as 'responsible reporting.'

Now Anne Barker the ME-propagandist has a new assignment, see [1].

Clarification: I am a seeker after truth & justice; I present 'facts as I see them' (i.e. as reported), along with analysis/opinion based on my observations, i.e. all care but no responsibility; kindly do not shoot this messenger.

One report I saw, initially regarded with a bit of suspicion, alleged that these riots came at a 'good' time for an under-pressure Cameron, creating public outrage and thus allowing him to go 'tough on crime,' always good for politicians. The article further alleged that the police deliberately hung back, allowing the riots and looting to develop. I must admit that the scale as seen on TV was impressive, with entire blocks burning (how did they achieve that?); described as 'worst since the Blitz.' Perhaps the article was not too far off the mark after all; you could try looking here with follow-up article here.

Summary: Several coincidences, each getting less 'believable' (believing is what some people do in the absence of evidence); that the riots could take place at all, that they could be so impressive, that that suits both Cameron's & the militarised police's interests - *plus* the arrival on the scene of an AusBC propagandist. Make you go hmmm?

-=*end*=-

PS Moral 1: IF anyone violates the 'democratic covenant' - by telling us lies, say, since a mal-informed electorate may not make properly informed decisions, THEN they make themselves 'democratic criminals' - and thus we the people's enemies.

PPS Moral 2: Cameron&Co are (rightly) outraged by a few looters, armed with little more than sticks & BiCs. Q: What of the poor Libyan people, being attacked by NATO; more specifically, mainly F + UK, using the most modern aerial weapons, after the US cruise-missiles reduced Libya's air-defences to smouldering rubble? A: We can see who the really serious criminals are.
