Reporters? Time to Report FROM the Facts!

17th September 2007

For a long time I’ve been rather critical, with considerable reservations, of media reporting of “news” events, locally and globally.

I remember a few years ago I read a fairly sicko article in the New York Times, and was dutified to write them and complain.

Amazingly the NYT editor responded and claimed that the editorial and management had no say on the content of a reporters or journalists piece.

Humfph!?

Last week we all saw the footage of that sweet-looking blonde photographer being thrown back to the ground by the coppers, as she was attempting to shoot pikies of a few arrested protesters.

In the days after APEC, I wrote an article which basically supported the police presence and actions at APEC. Unfortunately, I didn’t make clear that I was NOT in favour of the APEC forum per-se, for it was more a publicity stunt and talk-fest of the big-boys of global finance.

For all the costs incurred for security and big-wig accommodation, something like $350 million, so as to be able to hold the event in our biggest and busiest city, in my opinion, it would have been a better option to hold it in some suitable, but quiet country town – like Birdsville Queensland (being a bit facetious there!).

Nevertheless…., this reporter, and her “thing” of reporting events….?

Hmmm…?

We the People-er-sheep of the world have pretty-much always been victim of the global media consortia, run, as we all know, by the Mr Big of global spin, Mr Rupert Murdoch and coy.

A few years more ago, I wrote a note to him…, Him, and suggested he was a secret socialist!?

Oooowh?!

Sometime after that I dug the guff and found out about the “Brettonwoods Agreement”, which was drawn-up and signed by the largest western media moguls, one being I think, Rupie’s father, Frank Murdoch. The Brettonwoods Agreement was a conspiracy of global proportions designed to gain total control over all the world’s media by, surprise-surprise, the big-boys of British media, out of Oxbridge (“Ox”ford and Cam”bridge” Universities) England, whence came the Rhodes-ian ideology.

This, Rhodes-ian-ism, was, for those who don’t know, a warped delusion of white English superiority taking over the planet, set out in the mid 19th century by one ridiculously rich fella called Cecil Rhodes (after which Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, was named), who made his squillions by the ruthless employment of Africans slaves, masses of them, working for his de Beers Diamond Company, to dig-up the buried gems of southern Africa, and flog to the gullible colonialist nations of Eurape and north America, for needless-to-say massive profits, to him.

Further digging came-up with the current agenda of the global very-very-very, veryveryvery, veryveryvery wealth-sodden political elite, principally of Eurape, that veryveryvery-much includes our duckie duchess, Queen Elizabeth the second, and most of the U.S.A.s federal political parties, which follows that Rhodesian delusion of “a white race, on every island and every continent on Earth” (paraphrased).

Most of the big-boys of global real estate, here, there and almost everywhere, are a part of this bigbigbig conspiracy, I have also found out.

Needless to say…, the bigbigbig banks of England, and every nation underneath her, are a part of this, controlling the game of real estate by the devil of a concept we blindly call “the mortgage” or the “deathpledge”, which most working Australians dumbly aspire to have?

So…., where does the poor little rich white (blonde?) reporter fit into this?

She fits into the equation for being so confident to try to get her way through the police line at APEC, but with what agenda, or with what? "basis” to her reporting?

Reporters and journalists for eons have pretty much worked according to what their bosses in the editor’s office or the proprietor’s mansion have determined she is allowed to report. A lot more than we generally realise or are prepared to admit to, the media does a reasonable job in reporting events, political, social, economic and other. Its probably the case that were a newspaper or television outlet to NOT give some accuracy and pertinence to what they report, to the people, they would quickly go out of favour, and then out of business.

But an issue of supplying an already severely dumb customer with severely doctored misinformation pertains to a situation or climate where the media can keep them stupid, with a minimum of fuss, and maximum profit. Profit is money, and, more money is power. Ergo, the more you can get over the rest of them, the more power you can gain over them. More power over others, generally, as history is now showing us, pertains to more delusions of grandeur. Cecil Rhodes THE case-in-point. Rupert Murdoch, at this stage, is yet another. However, in his favour, I do not see a great deal of delusion in his personality. Ruthless he may have been, and may still be. But, it’s tough at the top, Aye Lachlan?

Brettonwoods, Rupert, and THE Plan, have many twists to them, many perhaps coming out of the reality that Rhodes was a nutter with money. But today, as far as I am concerned, whether Jeffrey Robinson or Christopher Hitchens or Robert Fiske agree with me or not, the bases upon which all those “plans” stand, and fall, are delusional, utter rubbish, as far as “ONE superior race” is concerned.

Therefore, all the agenda which follow, which all reporters are obliged to keep to, for the sake of keeping their jobs, if not their (shallow and usually feigned) principles, are rubbish and are not worth respecting.

So our little blonde APEC photographer-reporter did not deserve the roughing-up, but did not either deserve any recognition, because she was, as likely, “just doing her bosses job”.

And which reporter, aside from the few champions of the world of journalism, actually have really Solid Principles, and then go looking for a story based-on, or coming from a standpoint of the Highest Political, Ethical, which boils down to Economic Knowledge or Principles?

Hmmmm…..?

What am I saying?

Our Principles (or lack there-of) determine how we see the world around us. This applies to everyone, and MUST be applied to reporters and journalists, in this fucking scarey age we are screaming into.

As most of what People think they know, comes to them via the media (and much more than we realise in our education is influenced by what the bigboys of Murdomedia determine we should want in schools and universities), therefore at this point in the time-space-not-so-continuum, I assert that our media, or any Genuinely Responsible Journalist, has a fundamental Duty to report from a personal basis of the Highest Known Principles, Political, Social, Economic, Ethical and Moral.

Now, who of the reporters sent packing by the Sydney APEC security services, were capable of reporting on events, or political outcomes, from that, in-the-end, IMPARTIAL standpoint?

Hmmmm…..?

While the media is so scared of reporting the hard facts of our social, economic and global cultural declines, from a True Ethical Foundation, the People and the Planet will continue to be led, or flushed, down the plughole, and the coppers will increase their brutality toward overbred little blondies with a reporter’s pass and a few cameras strung around their dainty necks.

Granted, albeit largely “spin”, Rupert did say his empire was going Green, which suggests he is cognizant of the peril we all face of, “the end of the world”. Nevertheless, if there are any Humans among us-the-People, we should recognize that We-The-People have now an Urgent Duty to “go-for", or, "shoot-at-the-media” if we see or hear that they are continuing to play the same ‘“keep-‘em-dumb” as long as the dog sponsors keep paying us’ game.

Media………., I say to you all……,

“One Principle: Global Land Reform”

Or die…………….
