Reid

Some interesting comments in this about the media in general regardless of the politics expressed.

http://off-guardian.org/2015/09/16/no-corbyn-doesnt-need-to-win-over-the-msm-he-needs-to-talk-directly-to-the-people/

For example:

Let’s be honest,” says Owen Jones in the Guardian today, “if social media were as politically invaluable as the left would like, Labour would now be in office with a majority of 150.”

Owen Jones is one of the few columnists the Guardian employs who is still worth listening to. But here I think he’s completely wrong. The reason Labour didn’t win the last general election has nothing to do with the power of social media and everything to do with the fact that Labour under Milliband was offering no real alternative. Diluted Blairism and pink-stained Toryism say nothing to people who know what’s needed is a wholesale change away from divisive unfairness, war and poverty toward inclusiveness, justice and peace. Why vote for Labour when they are indistinguishable from the Conservatives? Why bother voting at all when it’s a choice with no choice?

That’s why 44% of potential voters stayed home.

(And remember our antiquated voting system means we currently have an incumbent in No.10 put there by less than 25% of the electorate. So let’s not get too silly about the level of popular endorsement for Conservative policies.)

Owen’s message is that the MSM is still the vital arbiter of public opinion, and that Corbyn needs to win the press over if he is to have a chance of forming a serious opposition. But I think one of those claims is questionable and the other is palpably absurd.

The MSM campaign against Corbyn has made it clear – even to those who may still have doubted it – that it has no interest in fair hearings, democracy or the popular will. In fact, if nothing else, Corbyn’s election as Labour leader has succeeded in stripping away the last vestiges of decent concealment from the mainstream press and revealed it for what it is today – a brainless, braying mouthpiece built and maintained to help impose an increasingly grotesque system of mass poverty on an increasingly restive population.

Over the last thirty years,and without most of us noticing, our post-war consensus democracy, with its commitment to fairness, inclusiveness and caring for its disadvantaged, has been undergoing reconstruction into a neo-feudal society of 99% largely disempowered serfs ruled over by the 1% uber-class. This metamorphosis has had to be concealed from people’s awareness, and the mainstream media was also reconstructed – divested of its real journalists and much of its independence – in order to act as the PR team for this “new world order,” selling every creeping change, no matter how anti-democratic as “democracy”…

Anyone interested in politics who doesn’t understand media dynamics regardless of whether or not they approve of said dynamics, is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn’t there…

Refugees are becoming a real threat to the foundation of internal stability in Europe, an article published in the Hungarian edition of Magyar Hirlap online reported.

“Old Europe is apparently fed up with the previous decades of peace and stability. Europe is slowly bringing a gun to its head and pulling the trigger,” the publication wrote…

This is an important step in the road to war, that I’ve been telling you guys about since 2003.

…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”

Does this sound a bit like what we’re being led into?

So why do the sheeple still go:

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

when they hear it, yet again, for the nth time?

I’m impressed, Reid. That really is first-class gibberish.

Yes you’ll be one of the first put against the wall mm. Not because of me, because of you. The revolutionaries are going to look at you like the people on Hitchhikers Guide looked at the telephone cleaners and the hairdressers.

Except you won’t be put on a spaceship.

Terribly sorry but hey, I won’t be the one doing it, will I.

I’ll be before you, as well, being a Christian and all. They’ll probably rip my guts out and make me eat my balls, before they finally kill me. I’m quite glad I don’t have kids, it’d break my heart to have to watch what they did to them, before they offed me.

You really should stop projecting your own insecurities onto others.

After all, people who do that hallucinate all sorts of inconvenient untruths and we don’t want you spending a cent more of our money than you need to, do we.

My guess is you won’t be allowed to add a smiley when you place a comment on Kiwiblog anymore. Of course I’ll be dead so that won’t worry me at all.

Exactly Griff and that’s been my clever plan all along. There’s nothing I’d hate more than that happening, frankly I’d rather eat my own balls, so I’m rather hoping that’s how it all turns out.

Thanks Reid for the Albert Pike quote. The trouble people have is in connecting the dots so instead viewing history as a long interconnected chain of events, they see it as a series of independent incidents or at best a short term snippet whereas what we’re seeing now is the culmination of centuries of planning (Pike made prediction in 1871 for what the 3rd World War would look like ).

And of course the current refugee crisis in reality traces it’s origins back to that fateful day in September 2001 which the Neo-Cons used as a pre-text to invade Iraq (WTF??) and ramp up the “War on Terror” that began the dismantling of our civil liberties and begin a long running campaign to demonise Islam. They then started to ramp up immigration from Islamic countries, banning criticism through “hate speech”, encouraging separatism (aka multiculturalism) and doing nothing to stop the funding of radical Wahhabisim from Saudi Arabia). You couldn’t make it up!

Here is something I’ve lifted from Paul Craig Roberts which summarises the official version of events of 9/11. Once you see 9/11 for what it was, recent history makes much more sense as does Albert Pike’s prediction:

http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/09/10/911-fourteen-years-later/

The Official Version of 9/11 goes something like this:

  Directed by a beardy-guy from a cave in Afghanistan, nineteen hard-drinking, coke-snorting, devout Muslims enjoy lap dances before their mission to meet Allah.   Using nothing more than craft knifes, they overpower cabin crew, passengers and pilots on four planes.

  And hangover or not, they manage to give the world’s most sophisticated air defence system the slip.   

Unfazed by leaving their “How to Fly a Passenger Jet” guide in the car at the airport, they master the controls in no-time and score direct hits on two towers, causing THREE to collapse completely.   

The laws of physics fail, and the world watches in awe as asymmetrical damage and scattered low temperature fires cause steel-framed buildings to collapse symmetrically through their own mass at free-fall speed, for the first time in history.

  Despite their dastardly cunning and superb planning, they give their identity away by using explosion-proof passports, which survive the destruction of steel and concrete and fall to the ground where they are quickly discovered lying on top of the mass of debris.

Meanwhile in Washington

  Hani Hanjour, having previously flunked Cessna flying school, gets carried away with all the success of the day and suddenly finds incredible abilities behind the controls of a jet airliner.   Instead of flying straight down into the large roof area of the Pentagon, he decides to show off a little.   Executing an incredible 270 degree downward spiral, he levels off to hit the low facade of the Pentagon.  Without ruining the nicely mowed lawn and at a speed just too fast to capture on video.

  In the skies above Pennsylvania

Desperate to talk to loved ones before their death, some passengers use sheer willpower to connect mobile calls that would not be possible until several years later.

  And following a heroic attempt by some to retake control of Flight 93, the airliner crashes into a Pennsylvania field leaving no trace of engines, fuselage or occupants except for the standard issue Muslim terrorist bandana.

During these events

  President Bush continues to read “My Pet Goat” to a class of primary school children. 

In New York

  World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein blesses his own foresight in insuring the buildings against terrorist attack only six weeks previously.  

In Washington

The Neoconservatives are overjoyed by the arrival of the “New Pearl Harbor,” the necessary catalyst for launching their pre-planned wars.

Not us, that’s for sure.

Yeah but doom is a word reserved exclusively for you poor bastards who have missed something very fundamental about the human equation we call life mm.

I appreciate that you’re analysing this through a geopolitics lens, Reid, but I don’t understand why Indonesian muslims would see us as a threat.

New Zealand is most unlike the boardgame Risk, in which you load up on troops in Australia and defend it to the hilt. We don’t have the ability to load up on troops, and we’re too small geographically to bother with. Surely, to Indonesian muslims, we’d be like a sleepy hollow with bad weather.

You’re not alone sooty. The haka has to be the most cringe inducing piece of overdone cultural crap the world has ever had the misfortune to witness. Seldom have I enjoyed satire more than those precious moments of the “hakarena”.

Now if only we can get the French to perform the can can when it’s their turn to face the primitives.

Delusions of an afterlife may prompt foolish decision about what to do with your actual life.

Delusions of your actual life may prompt foolish delusions about what’s important.

My current understanding of life which may change, is that life is a school. We are here for one thing and one thing only, to learn how to love.

Material things mean absolutely nothing since love can exist anywhere under any circumstance, and learning how to summon and emit love under the most trying conditions imaginable, is the human mission.

Material things get in the way by providing insulation against that. It’s like a sense of security that is false. It’s security, but it’s not, really, in actuality.

However the issue is not in the material thing itself, it’s just an object, but rather, in one’s emotional attachment to it. So one can be immensely wealthy, or immensely poor, and still have the same state of spiritual understanding.

Most of the issues in the world today can be traced to material shall we say, “confusion.”

Chasing after windmills. Things you think you want but which vanish.

Spiritual strength and wisdom is an increasingly rare commodity.

But its my chosen pursuit mm, and I view materialism as worthless by comparison.

Re the paid parental leave thingy, not sure it’s a good idea or in the best interests of women.

I have a friend who’s quite a high powered human resources manager and she says she finds it very hard not to discriminate against women of child bearing age for key appointments simply because they might fall pregnant and have to take extended leave. More paid parental leave will simply compound this discrimination.

Not saying this is an ideal situation but this world is real, not ideal.

The Judge early on got it right , well that is until he was got at.

You have proof of that allegation V2, or are you taking the convicted criminal Dotcom’s word for it?
=============================================
Actions speak louder than words so follow the time lines and what was said by whom and when. Dotcom was not a player in that story line.
Why would a very knowledgeable (indeed a Judge who was considered the best at this subject), say what he did?
Hmmm.
Sad really that our judiciary are so compromised.

EAD, “a long running campaign to demonise Islam. They then started to ramp up immigration from Islamic countries, banning criticism through “hate speech”, encouraging separatism (aka multiculturalism) and doing nothing to stop the funding of radical Wahhabisim from Saudi Arabia).”

Is the plan of the elite of “Judeo-Christendom/Zionists/ZOG/whatever” to demonise Islam or to welcome Moslem immigration?

You seem confused, it only makes sense when one notes

The enemy of the nation state is global market capitalism with free movement of labour.

The nation state needs an enemy to endure, an enemy requiring the capacity to defend the nation state

The military industrial complex of the nation state/international cartel as a partner to the international global market elite.

Reid, your link quote”Over the last thirty years,and without most of us noticing, our post-war consensus democracy, with its commitment to fairness, inclusiveness and caring for its disadvantaged, has been undergoing reconstruction into a neo-feudal society of 99% largely disempowered serfs ruled over by the 1% uber-class.”

A perfect demonstration of that today.

The government want to manage acceptance of the Silver Fern Farm buy in by blocking the sale of Lochinver. The owner is upset because now they cannot get the top price from selling offshore – and Mike Hosking is upset on behalf of all other asset owners who are at risk of possibly not getting the full price for their own property asset by selling to offshore buyers (however much he tries to pretend he objects to the “racism” of blocking sales to foreigners). The racist line – used by the local asset owning elite is in support of the global reach for those with the power of capital.

Germany has made little progress so far in persuading many countries in the European Union to agree to a mandatory redistribution of refugees. Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said in a video message Thursday that Europe needs to move: “Germany is helping. The question is, who is helping Germany?”

Gabriel said the impression has arisen that “Europe is something people join in with when there’s money and where they hide in the bushes when they have to take responsibility.” He added that “money cannot keep on flowing in Europe as it has so far if Germany, Austria and Sweden organize and finance taking in refugees alone.”

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11514752

The EU is being informed that the nation that provides most of the money wants to set the rules for Europe.

Can you be blonde, blue-eyed, and white skinned and be Maori too? This question will arise more often as intermarriage continues in NZ.

Leftist, unionist writer Morgan Godfery in the Hooerald criticises Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse for his riposte in the House of Repesentatives to Green MP Denise Roche, including a statement that Roche is carrying “paternalistic, colonialist, white person’s guilt”.

Godfery more or less sneeringly says that Roche is a Maori. A picture on the web site of Roche shows what is apparently a very white woman: blonde, blue-eyed and pale skinned. Her video tube at the Green Party site shows Roche, herself a union organiser, has a typical Pakeha accent.

In her maiden speech to Parliament, she did speak partly in Maori, and said in English, “I am not the first woman of Maori descent to come to this house from the glorious motu of Waiheke.”

She may have Maori genes, but unless the pictures of her are false, Roche is also a white woman. This doesn’t matter, except when someone like Godfery tries to score points from someone who has called Roche white.

Godfery is described at the foot of his Hooerald rave as specialising in Maori politics and indigenous issues. If he’s going to depend on blood lines rather than appearance, Godfrey could be going down a dangerous path.

Look at the picture and make up your own mind ….
