Sent in by a reader - BBC wags the Hitler!

Webmaster's Commentary: 

reader comment:Re: Hollywood finds one more way to shove Nazis up our ... noses!

It's the same here in Europe. Not one single day goes by without some kind of reference to the Nazi's or Hitler or the Holocaust in the news. A few years ago I made a list of all those stories one Dutch newssite had published that year. It was a huge list. I asked them how this could still be the most newsworthy story almost 70 years after it became history? And why specifically the second world war? I mean Napoleon never makes the news these days. Needles to say I didn't get a reply. Also thought about doing the same with BBC. (btw their reputation is all myth). You'd be amazed how often Hitler, his Nazi's or the holocaust still make it on the frontpage. Should have done it, would have been quite a collection by now.

Attached is an screenshot from today. Guess who?

Once you're aware of these things it's just so blatant.

Take care!

But on Friday, the German government signaled it was having second thoughts. According to Spiegel, the German government now plans to wait and see how the European Parliament votes before Germany makes a decision on the treaty itself.

As an example of the continued overconfidence of the sector, Deutsche Bank has introduced death-bonds to Germany.

This product allows investors to take bets on the life-expectancy of the elderly. It is derivative of the health care of the OAP, so while they live the bank pays out to the investor, but when the die, the investor must pay to the bank. The bank thus profits from an early death.
At the moment it seems DB are helping German investors to bet on the life-expectancy of Americans.

How the GOP race became a showdown between a walking OCD diagnosis and a flatulent serial adulterer

(*RollingStone)They may be shit for choosing a good candidate for the presidency, but say this for the Republican primaries: They're fast turning into the most luridly entertaining political spectacle of our time. In an inherently conservative, bottomlessly moneyed, scrupulously stage-managed electoral system designed to preclude chance or weirdness from playing any part in determining our political future, the unthinkable is happening: real drama. This isn't part of some clever but inscrutable master plan, put on by the hidden hands who run this country, to fool or distract the masses. This is an unscripted fuck-up of heroic dimensions, radiating downward from the highest levels of our society, playing out in real time for all of us to watch. Our oligarchy has thrown a rod.

US Invading Syria by Proxy

After world opinion categorically denied Wall Street, London, and its NATO forces a replay in Syria of the destruction and pillaging of Libya, with Russia and China leading opposition to a planned escalation and overt NATO military intervention, the corporate-financier media led by CNN (and in particular CIA-asset Anderson Cooper) has conducted a non-stop propaganda campaign based entirely on "activist" say-so centered around the Syrian city of Homs. Journalistic integrity and neutrality have been shamelessly abandoned, evident by CNN headlines reading, "Ruthless Assad rides wave of slaughter." ...

Reuters: Iran says will hit any country used to strike its soil

"Any spot used by the enemy for hostile operations against Iran will be subjected to retaliatory aggression by our armed forces"

Fair enough, as wars go. Reuters begins by saying that Iran will strike back at any source of enemy fire, which would of course include US bases in ME countries. It's obvious the US doesn't have bases there for no reason. It has been planning a confrontration with Iran for a long, long time.

But read the final paragraphs of the Reuters article, where the perception is shifted to that of Iran striking US bases and the US having to fire back in "self defence".

That's what is called creative writing. Always end with the mental picture you want to instill.

Academic conferences don't usually muster public attention, but in 2009 the organizers of the blandly titled Israel/Palestine: Mapping Models of Statehood and Paths to Peace found themselves at the center of a media shit storm fuelled by the hysterical rhetoric of pro-Israel community groups and their supporters in the media. This reaction culminated in an unprecedented move by Conservative Minister of State Gary Goodyear to threaten the funding of Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) -- an arms-length agency created by an act of parliament -- if it did not commit itself to a review of the funding it had already awarded by an independent peer-review process.

Let me start with his #1 attribute. Ron Paul is RELENTLESS.

Secondly, while Ron Paul is not your traditional politician, and is painted by the media as extreme, the voters are starting to realize that it is the traditional status quo politicians that led us right into this economic Armageddon.

So the report was either ignored (by Western corporate media) or mercilessly destroyed - by Arab media, virtually all of it financed by either the House of Saud or Qatar. It was not even discussed - because it was prevented by the GCC from being translated from Arabic into English and published in the Arab League's website.
Until it was leaked. Here it is, in full.

Nureddin Sabir argues that the reaction of a large section of the so-called "left" and "anti-imperialist" camp to the uprisings in Libya and Syria are motivated not by some high-minded principle or anything to do with progressive ideology but by cynicism, petty personal agendas and ignorance.

THE BBC was accused yesterday of becoming the “propaganda arm” of the European Union after it admitted pocketing nearly £3million in grants from Brussels since 2007.

The corporation has also revealed that its commercial arm BBC Worldwide has borrowed more than £141million from the European Investment Bank since 2003 – and £30million is still due to be repaid by the end of May this year.

The paradigm which we operate under is mathematically going to end.
The end of the world as we know it does not mean it is the end of the world.
The way of life we are currently leading is pulling humanity down and should be shown the door.
We cannot change the world to make our self happy or free.
We must change our self to make the world happy and free.
The awakening process is a very hard road for those with no guidance.

A TALE OF TWO TRANSLATIONS - What Iran says versus what the American Media says Iran says.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Muslim nations must not trust the US and Zionists, because they are not concerned about Muslim interests.

Addressing the Muslim nations of the region in the second sermon of the Friday Prayers in Tehran, Ayatollah Khamenei said as a result of the Islamic Awakening in the Middle East and North Africa the people's voice has been heard for the first time and all revolutionary countries have voted in favor of Muslim figures while rejecting Zionism and dictators.

Khamenei, speaking to hundreds of youths from more than 70 countries attending a world conference on the Arab Spring just days ago, told a cheering crowd in Tehran that “Allah’s promises will be delivered and Islam will be victorious.”
