lies, damned lies & absolute whoppers (AusBC/Barker et al.)

.. Q: Why lie[1]? ...

  .. A: Trying to deceive ...

    .. trying to obscure dastardly criminal acts - like Israel, say

-=*=-

Subtitle: 4th estate as 5th column[2].

Musing: There are at least two worlds 'out there;' one is the real one described by facts[3] (recall Harvie Krumpet and his "fakts") - and then there's the world of lies, what I call the 'pushed (propaganda) paradigm.' This latter is what is delivered to us by the MSM (main-stream media, aka the FCM: fawning corporate media), including big bits of the AusBC. Before B, B & H illegally invaded Iraq (now morphed into a puppet/client state via a brutal occupation: murder for oil), one of my main sources of information was the AusBC; I trusted them. Silly me! On re-examination, I now see that they've been lying to us all along; consider that the AusBC continually and immorally favours Israel - a criminal state which should never have been allowed to come into existence - or at the very least, should have been strangled at 'birth,' just as soon as they were seen to exceed their remit and started attacking their neighbours. No person or organization ever had the right to dispossess the original legal owner/occupiers of Palestine, and no peace will ever be established there until that original, ghastly wrong is as far as possible completely righted (i.e. return all illegally-acquired property = *all* of so-called 'modern' Israel), also including as full a compensation ('pain money') as is possible. The I/J/Z-plex could start this process by saying "Sorry!" - then vacating Palestine and returning post-haste to whence they (or their parents) came.

-=*=-

Q: Why does it matter? Why should one object to lies?

A: Consider that there are at least four sorts of people:

1. The originators of the lies - the (puppet) politicians ("All politicians lie!" - thanks, but "No, thanks!" to Howard), and their shadowy puppet-masters.

2. The transmitters (and amplifiers!) of the lies - the MSM/FCM, including big bits of the AusBC.

3. The 'defenders' of the lies - an example of whom are the filthily lying blog-trolls.

4. We the voters; we the sheople. In order to decide how to vote, we need to be properly informed. In the first place, lies obscure the issues, in the second place, we must consider what the lies are attempting to conceal - which, by the very nature of lying itself, is highly unlikely to be in ours, we the sheople's interest.

Then,

I include myself in the voter/sheople class, but it's not just voting that's at stake; it's the actions which proceed from many of the lies, like Israel itself and the depredations they continually inflict upon the original legal owner/occupiers of Palestine and their neighbours, then there are the 100s of 1000s of people killed or displaced by the US in Iraq, Afghanistan and increasingly now in Pakistan, with Iran as next in their sights. There're some of the current, immoral & illegal war-parts; as if those were not bad enough, then come the largely ignored or avoided threats to our environment (pollution, excess-CO2 caused climate-change), which will extremely negatively impact pretty-well all humans on our once jewel-like planet.

Force (war; murder & theft) is deployed when all 'rational' argument would fail, as in ripping-off any sovereign people's 'patrimony,' i.e. oil (US), land (Zs) or other resources. But armed robbery is always illegal (not to say horribly immoral); Q: Why should the US & Zs ever get away with it? A: Only because of quivering, cowardly quislings - like Blair & Howard then (now Sarkozy, Merkel & Rudd), and traitors like those who lie to us in the AusBC.

Anne Barker of the AusBC provides us with a rich source of filthily lying propaganda; here is her latest:

Iran stands firm on nuclear plans
By Middle East Correspondent Anne Barker
Posted November 18, 2009 09:00:00
  «Iran has denounced a United Nations report questioning whether the Islamic regime may be hiding other nuclear facilities, as it initially did with its second nuclear plant at Qom.» 
[AusBC/justin]

I'm looking particularly at this bit: «hiding ... as it initially did...» - AFAIK, Iran is perfectly in the clear here; it was the Iranians themselves who revealed Qom, and they are perfectly within all applicable IAEA guidelines. IF Barker's statement is *not* an outright, filthy lie THEN I'd like to see her explanation.

Iran is in the US' sights because the Iranians dared to overthrow the US' puppet-shah, as well as possessing lots of oil.

Iran is in Israel's sights because Iran may hinder the further (illegal) expansion of (illegal and immoral) Israel.

Neither the US nor Israel has any *legal* or *moral* reason to attack Iran, yet they continually threaten to do so; such threats themselves being illegal under international law.

That Anne Barker of the AusBC dares to aid this filthy, illegal and immoral aggression is worse than a scandal; all those 'responsible' at the AusBC should be thrown directly into gaol. Traitors and criminal accessories, that's what they make themselves into.

All that, and on our tax-dough!

Boo! Hiss!

One should read the lot; I decline to 'snip' - apart from this:

Comment: How convenient, that the so-called 'terrorist' targets are all in places coveted by the attackers; Palestine (Z-Lebensraum), Iraq (oil), Afghanistan (pipeline routes, opium/heroin) etc..

Q: Why doesn't 'our' AusBC carry reports like the two above?

US & Z extrajudicial killing = murder for spoil.

[1] Update:

The last bit of the Mayer article:

  «“It’s really all we’ve got to disrupt Al Qaeda. The reason the Administration continues to use it is obvious: it doesn’t really have anything else.”» 

Comment: 'Al Qaeda' didn't exist until the US(CIA) 'invented' it, to plague the Russkies. Now it, as 'Taliban,' is partly a 'catch-all' to describe any US 'enemy,' otherwise referred to as militants, insurgents or fanatic religious caliphatists; whatever (but not where-ever; all these US/Z 'enemies' are legal owner/occupants of the lands being so illegally, so brutally, invaded.) We've been through all this before with Reagan, say; one man's rebel is another's freedom fighter. It's always worth keeping in mind that the US aggressing anywhere *outside* the US is an invader, as are the Zs aggressing in Palestine. Then, it's worth recalling Nuremberg and aggressive war - and what *should* happen to all perpetrators. As well as 'not having anything else,' the US & Israel have no morality (apart from bad morality), no justification (except theft).

Q: Why can't they just buy what they covet?
 

the very fact that they lie (cannabis)

 .. proves their guilt ...

It's easy to tell the truth; one needs invent nothing, and the truth 'hangs together' because it is by its nature already a seamless whole. Lies[1], on the hand, require (criminal) effort, and the more and more complicated the tissue of lies, the harder it is to make them 'mesh' - (therefore, be sure their sins will find them out! And so it comes to pass...)

Drug adviser rolled over cannabis claims
By Europe correspondent Philip Williams for AM
Posted November 2, 2009 10:14:00
  «A row has broken out in Britain, after the chief drugs adviser to the government was sacked when he said alcohol and cigarettes were more dangerous than cannabis.
Other scientists on the drugs advisory council have resigned in protest, complaining the government is ignoring science in favour of popular myths.
When Professor David Nutt made his statements on marijuana, he thought he was simply telling the truth.
He said the drug was reclassified from class C to the more dangerous category B against scientific evidence, simply on the whim of Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
The reaction from the government was swift and unforgiving. Home Secretary Alan Johnson sacked him by email.» 
[AusBC/justin]

-=*=-

Now, this is a bit more than just a bit serious. Drug offences can get people into gaol, if not ruin whole lives, and not even mentioning the associated, real criminality, namely those who purposely set out to profit from crime.

Enjoying marijuana in moderation and privacy is, as the scientists point out, less dangerous than alcohol and cigarettes - both so-called 'legal' drugs. Also, there is *NO* basis for accusing marijuana as being a 'gateway' to heroin - etc. etc. & blah, blah. All this is known and accepted by rational actors almost everywhere. Most 'people out in the streets' (sheople) know this, as does almost everyone who has tried 'inhaling' marijuana.

So, the question must be asked (over and over) Q: Why does the government pursue and persecute marijuana use? It simply makes no sense whatsoever, and criminalizes people who just want to have a bit of at least relatively harmless fun.

-=*end*=-

PS Democracy = government of, by & for the people. Any government doing what the so-called 'democratic' UK, US & Aus governments do, here namely criminalizing relatively harmless marijuana use, is setting out to unjustly persecute their own electors - a clear violation of democratic fundamentals, and more specifically, violating the democratic covenant.

Only just law can be respected; as the UK, US & Aus governments go about so violating the rights of their citizenry, they bring all of democratic government, the law and themselves into disrepute.

These governments, the UK, US & Aus (and even more so, Israel) perform criminal acts like invading countries in order to steal (Palestine for people's land, water - and lives), Afghanistan (pipelines), and Iraq (oil). But they don't stop there, they stick their filthy, busy-body noses into people's sex-lives (anti-gay, say) - and into relatively harmless recreational pursuits.

Q1: Why? Q2: Who benefits?

A: To both, certainly not us, we the sheople.

Boo! Hiss!

Rudd disloyal for Costello choice, says Keating
Posted November 1, 2009 16:02:00
  «Former prime minister Paul Keating has criticised Kevin Rudd's decision to appoint Peter Costello to the board of the Future Fund.
Mr Keating says the former treasurer squandered 11 years of economic growth and stood by as Australia's overseas debt sky-rocketed.
Mr Keating says Mr Rudd is a "goodie two-shoes" who has shown disloyalty to the Labor Party by not considering former MPs for the job.
He has described the former treasurer as a "policy bum of the first order" who squandered 11 years of economic opportunity.» 
[AusBC/justin]

'Squandered 11 years of economic opportunity' is one thing, crippling the great Aussie 'own your own home' dream is another. That Aus borrows overseas proves that we have no financial independence (the clever alternative is 'sovereign credit'), but Rudd appointing Costello is pure and utter treachery. Costello's greatest blunder was halving the CGT (Capital Gains Tax), an idiotic, sell-out action aimed (unfairly!) - but fair and square *against* the sheople, because that was the 'last stone' in the doubling of house-prices (lockout) wall. Low interest rates are largely imported (but always with an added 'local' surcharge), as was the ½CGT idea. Not even original, but done either with malice aforethought - or out of ignorance. In either case, no economic or any other sort of genius 'at work.'

Rudd appointing Costello shows deplorable economic- and equity[1]- insensitivity, complete ignorance if not outright anti-sheople hostility. (And in all cases, imbeciles both.)

Mind you, Keating has nothing (= SFA) to be proud of; if Aus ever had an independent voice it was Whitlam's - until he was viciously (CIA? Murdoch? Both &/ worse?) deposed. After Whitlam came the neoliberal deluge - from *both* 'sides' - bipartisan anything is *deeply* undemocratic.

Both the social and democratic covenants[2] have been well and truly 'trashed' (detested Ameri-speak; 'deployed' by Turnbull, quoted by the AusBC - traitors all.)

Boo! Hiss!

Ooops! - (there goes the planet)

 .. no wuckin' furries, mate...

   .. we have a spare ...

     .. don't we?

Well, no - there is only the one - and it's looking increasingly buggered.

-=*=-

In the 1st instance, any climate-sceptics may leave (dumb, de dumb - all gone yet? Bye!)

In the 2nd instance, there's a fight going on - as to whether Leibniz or Newton invented calculus - ooops! - red herring; doesn't matter who invented it, but the results are *perfectly* clear: to reduce the amount of 'global warming' to a minimum and simultaneously save our once jewel-like planet's ecosphere, excess CO2 production has to be not just reigned in (i.e. no more) - but reduced to below a certain, specific, known value, such that the total atmospheric CO2 content does not exceed a critical (for our ecosphere's survival) value.

Calculus comes in because to achieve that reduction, a curve may be drawn - representing our projected CO2 emissions level, and the area below the curve will (or, most likely will not) show the required reduction - IF not THEN disaster.

It's relatively simple mathematics, easily mastered even by the idiots in parliament - providing, of course, that they can get adequate 'advice.'

-=*=-

But (there's almost always quite a good but:) any effective reduction in CO2 output will require at least these three things:

1. People to use less, and/or

2. Fewer people altogether, AND

3. Digging less coal; pumping less oil.

-=*=-

Q: Will it happen?

A: Not likely.

-=*end*=-

PS

Q: "Please, Sir, may I have some more?"

A: No! (Idiot.)
 

AusBC plus Barker in the Middle East equals

.. Zionist/Jewish and/or US propaganda ...

  .. how utterly undemocratic ...

    .. how *dare* they?

-=*=-

Q: Why 'undemocratic?'

A: Because we the sheople, as voters *and* taxpayers, have a *perfect* moral and legal right to demand that 'our' publicly-financed AusBC fully, fairly and *honestly* informs us. Barker relays - if not actively amplifies - lying Zionist/Jewish and/or US propaganda.

Posted October 20, 2009 09:17:00
  «Israel has not responded to the allegation, but has previously accused Hezbollah of breaching the ceasefire agreement by stockpiling weapons illegally.» 
[AusBC/justin]

-=*=-

Q: Why 'lying propaganda?'

A: You must be "Joe King?" Circular definition: propaganda is deployed to disinform[1] and/or misinform[2]; *exactly* what is going on here with Barker and the AusBC. Adding 'lying' is to clarify and emphasise by tautology. I discuss Barker since she is one of the worst, but one assumes that the AusBC is complicit before the fact, conversant after the fact and probably being 'commanded' by the Aus govt., and that of both Lib *and* Lab 'stripes.'

When Barker writes "Western powers fear" she is *deliberately* misleading us. She is a university-trained journalist; in my book that *should* mean 'honest reporter,' but the agent who fears an Iran A-bomb is definitively Israel, which (via its "Israel Lobby") coerces the already overly-sympathetic US to repeatedly dragoon the US' sycophantic quisling allies to screech "All options!" at Iran in unison.

(It should be noted that to threaten an attack is itself a war crime.)

The 'hidden' Z-agenda is that Israel fears being turfed out of its originally immorally gifted, then illegally invaded and all brutally occupied territory, i.e. the land they have progressively stolen from the original and legal owner/occupiers, namely the poor, hapless and totally involuntarily dispossessed Palestinians.

The hardly 'hidden' US-agenda is a) to 'avenge' the '79 Iranian revolution which reversed the '53 filthily illegal US/UK coup which displaced the democratically elected Mossadeq, and b) to steal Iran's oil (of course! Q: What's wrong with *buying* oil?)

When Barker writes "trying to develop a nuclear bomb," she must know full-well, that a) Iran is under a continuous, intrusive IAEA micro-inspection regime, and that b) the IAEA repeatedly reports "no evidence" of any Iranian violation of the NPT.

Barker must also know full-well, that it is *Israel* who a) refuses to sign the NPT, b) is the only ME possessor of A-bombs and c) that it is Israel itself who/which is the *greatest danger* to ME peace.

When Barker writes "Hezbollah ... stockpiling weapons illegally," she must know full-well, that the poor, hapless neighbours around Israel are primitively armed with comparative pea-rifle types like the AK-47 and tiny rockets, that Israel is massively armed to the teeth with the latest grotesque US killing-machines (tanks, helis, planes, A-tipped cruise-missile subs etc.); indeed, the only thing stopping the Zs being pushed into the sea (or worse) is the continual state of war that the Zs have created.

What Barker *never* writes is that the brutal, genocidal, apartheid and ethnic-cleansing I/J/Z-plex occupation of Palestine equates perfectly to a murderingly criminal gang of terrorists carrying out the equivalent of an hostage-taking home-invasion and consequent police-siege.

With one single, glaring exception: the police (UN? US?) either never show up - and/or are utterly, corruptly complicit.

As is Barker and the AusBC both, vis-à-vis our crippled democracy.

Truth is relatively simple, lying is simply wrong. Presenting only partial, biased or outright incorrect info, or by omitting absolute key detail, a false picture is created; since the AusBC and Barker both claim professionalism, their info-sins must be deliberate.

In a world where truth was respected, journalist-Barker would have to reform or change jobs.

In a world where justice was respected, no single invading Z would have been allowed to enter Palestine at all, ever.

mass-murder (two hits with one bio-blow)

.. mega-mass-murder ...

  .. err, how mega, please? ...

    .. Q: Would 5bio do? A: About right

-=*=-

The flu is a pretty good 'vector;' one sneeze and the rest in the area/room/bus/plane can and probably do 'get it.'

No wonder they're trying to immunise everyone.

Hmmm, everyone?

Well, most in the Anglo/Judaic world (excepting anti-regime objectors, say; see 'pesky' below), plus the 'lucky' ones in EU, perhaps... basically, only where the US and/or the Zs feel very welcome, plus the so-called 'élites' in any very friendly, local puppet/vassal-regimes (especially where there is some coveted resource; see oil below). Still occupied "Air Strip Two" (the Japs) would be included; their industry to get an unexpected revival.

But it won't be the 'current' H1N1 (swine) flu or even a 2nd wave - Oh, no: that's just too easy to collect from 'the wild.'

Nope; the unique, exclusive, 'v.special' flu is locked away in some (US/UK/Z) germ-warfare laboratories - those without the 'v.special' immunisation will just be left to die - an ugly/ghastly scene, to be sure.

'Targets' like Ramb-O-Bama's extended axis of evil; the Chinks, Iranians plus most other Muslims and the Russkies, then almost the whole of Africa, lots of (communist!) South America - in all about 5bio, give or take.

Two hits with one bio-blow: rid the world of lots of pesky people - and 'save' those left from the excess-CO2 climate catastrophe. So many fewer people, so much less coal and oil burning. Peak-oil would last so much longer, too.

But (there's almost always some but:) Would the 'lucky' survivors be happily grateful to their mega-criminal monster so-called 'leaders?' They (the mega-monster US and Z regimes) do have form you know; see the mass-murdering for land, water, and resources (especially oil) that's already been going on for at least the last 61+ bloody years. The twin A-bombing war crimes (¼mio mostly innocent civilians murdered), the Z's invasion of Palestine and dispossession with concomitant genocide, ethnic cleansing etc. of an entire country's now-former legal owner/occupiers, CIA sponsored coups and El Salvador type death squads, Iraq with 100s of 1000s if not 1.3mio+ dead ... the list of grotesque, murdering-for-spoil infamies is looong.
