Post Re: John Pilger Articles
One of the pillars of Religious corruption is homophobia. And living here in the South of amerika, I can assure you its Fundamental and Radicalized.
A tell of how the ancient MK ultra works and the spoils of war being looted upon.

Personally I think the frontal lobes of society are at a stampede level. That is, its on a convenient perspective of looking into the future to stabilize the paranoia of the present or it just could be the uncomfortably of living a lie and finding distraction. So the sensitivity of the NOW is not all there, and as to why Sense is not used, and the bizarre behavior of Double think so easily applied.

I characterize our societal perspective as a delusion or more like a dreamworld.... :shock:

Here's the journalist UncleZook labels a "gatekeeper" criticizing the unbelievable injustice of the sociopath-controlled U.S. justice system. Of course, Zook also labels me, Andy, and just about anyone else that contradicts him or his infallible discernment a gatekeeper.

Don't you wish all of Zook's "gatekeepers" were as good as John Pilger?

Hey, wait a minute, I think they might be. It's Zook that is gatekeeping! Well, whadda ya know...

From Chico's link in the preceding post:
http://www.newstatesman.com/world-affai ... ce-america

beginExcerpt
About John Pilger

John Pilger, renowned investigative journalist and documentary film-maker, is one of only two to have twice won British journalism's top award; his documentaries have won academy awards in both the UK and the US. In a New Statesman survey of the 50 heroes of our time, Pilger came fourth behind Aung San Suu Kyi and Nelson Mandela. "John Pilger," wrote Harold Pinter, "unearths, with steely attention facts, the filthy truth. I salute him."
end


Does anyone else need a barfbag? And is it really a wonder that society is in such a state given that humanity is in such a state, e.g. with the giggling gullible and the feigning gullible working together to make gullibility vogue again years after Hugh Beaumont and Barbara Billingsley left it to the Beaver?

Free hint: Advancing truths doesn't offend truthseeking; obstructing them does.

Free hint2: A significant chunk of establishment-funded disinformation campaigns, works to advance truths (in particular, truths without much consequence to the establishment ).

Here's another, more significant contribution of Pilger. This time, important specific establishment-damning truths are being obstructed while a discussion of Iraq's many victims (e.g. important truths but truths lost in the generality of war crimes) are being used as camouflage:


From the 1:40 onwards, things get into establishment gatekeeping, with a subtle entrenchment of the Al Qaeda scam. Pilger further exposes his role as gatekeeper at the 2:12 mark with this ridiculous LIHOP-affirming establishment-supporting remark: "The attacks on September 11 were appropriated by a clique in the US establishment ... yadda yadda ..."

Appropriated??

Unmitigated prevaricational bullshit, more like it.

Pilger might as well been playing Reveen ... and commenced swinging a stopwatch on a chain in front of an uncritical audience, while prompting them as follows: "Watch my watch closely ... closely ... slowly ... slowly ... you are getting sleepy ... slowly .... sleepy ... you are now asleep. Now, get on all fours and bark like a dog!"



Keep on piling it, Chico. People with critical minds are pretty much immune to your bullshit even though our noses must suffer a bit.

:jest:

Pax Discerni
Pax Propped-Up Puppet Pundits ... Pilgers, For Short

ps: Pilger's preponderance of gatekeeping activities include his stooging for psyops-agent Assange and psyops Wikileaks ... in addition to his endorsementl of the Al Qaeda Arabian tall tale and LIHOPic legerdemain.

ps2: To anyone with a working brain, other clues to Pilger's false-flag reporting sting ... is his ongoing celebrity, honorifics, and honorariums in today's corrupt mainstream media.

ps3: In addition to Pilger, virtually everyone else on the list of professional puppet pundits that Chico has rolled in here at UP, e.g. inside the Trojan Horse of Truthseeking, I have exposed as Gatekeeping Greeks.

Thanks for that Pilger video, Zook! It's a good one. It also shows what a dullard you are.

You need to pay attention to the context of what Pilger is saying, not his individual words. Pilger is quite right -- privatized terrorism is very real, whether you assign it the name "Al Qaeda" or any other name in the common vernacular. But like Pilger says, it is insignificant compared to the propagandized terror coming from criminal governments, namely the USA and the UK. To wit, he sounds like a real gatekeeper, wot?

As for Pilger's comment on 9/11, it is quite true that a clique in the US establishment "appropriated" the 9/11 crisis. That would be the clique that lives by the motto "Never let a crisis go to waste", which includes Bush Jr., Hillary Clinton, Rahm Emanuel, etc. You don't recall the shocked paralysis of Bush Jr. on being informed of the attacks while reading along with an elementary school class, followed by his over-the-top grandstanding in the aftermath of 9/11, in his fancy flight suit costume on the Navy ship and his dramatic speeches at Ground Zero? It's not the puppets that planned and orchestrated the 9/11 attack, but they definitely "appropriated" the opportunity, as they were ordered to do by their masters, because it was all part of the plan.

So once again, you are erupting in hot, flowing BS in a deceptive and manipulative manner for the purposes of gatekeeping. And here's more evidence, with much innuendo (which you deceptively accused me of) on parade:

You are so busted. And how pathetic that you don't know when to quit. But sociopaths are like that, as Bill Clinton demonstrated when he resorted to his classic bullshit defense, "That depends on what your definition of the word is is."

Yes, the people's voice is the first casualty. If you silence the journalists, the whistle-blowers, the truth-seekers, the innovators, and the original thinkers, you silence the people.

I just read through this entire thread -- what a trip down Memory Lane! The gatekeeping of Uncle Zook, all while accusing everyone else of gatekeeping, is undeniable, even more so with 20/20 hindsight. Zook's deceptions and manipulations have not fared well given the test of time. Assange is still a political prisoner, Snowden is still a hunted man, and Pilger is still stirring the pot, demanding, of all things, that journalists stand up for the truth and expose the propaganda that the gatekeepers spew. How appropriate!

I doubt that anyone paid the Washington Post and many other media outlets to accuse Edward Snowden of aiding terrorism. I doubt that anyone pays those who routinely smear Julian Assange – though other rewards can be plentiful.

It’s clear to me that the main reason Assange has attracted such venom, spite and jealously is that WikiLeaks tore down the facade of a corrupt political elite held aloft by journalists. In heralding an extraordinary era of disclosure, Assange made enemies by illuminating and shaming the media’s gatekeepers, not least on the newspaper that published and appropriated his great scoop. He became not only a target, but a golden goose.

Lucrative book and Hollywood movie deals were struck and media careers launched or kick-started on the back of WikiLeaks and its founder. People have made big money, while WikiLeaks has struggled to survive.

None of this was mentioned in Stockholm on 1 December when the editor of the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, shared with Edward Snowden the Right Livelihood Award, known as the alternative Nobel Peace Prize. What was shocking about this event was that Assange and WikiLeaks were airbrushed. They didn’t exist. They were unpeople.

No one spoke up for the man who pioneered digital whistleblowing and handed the Guardian one of the greatest scoops in history. Moreover, it was Assange and his WikiLeaks team who effectively – and brilliantly – rescued Edward Snowden in Hong Kong and sped him to safety. Not a word.

What made this censorship by omission so ironic and poignant and disgraceful was that the ceremony was held in the Swedish parliament — whose craven silence on the Assange case has colluded with a grotesque miscarriage of justice in Stockholm.

“When the truth is replaced by silence,” said the Soviet dissident Yevtushenko, “the silence is a lie.”

It’s this kind of silence we journalists need to break. We need to look in the mirror. We need to call to account an unaccountable media that services power and a psychosis that threatens world war.

In the 18th century, Edmund Burke described the role of the press as a Fourth Estate checking the powerful. Was that ever true? It certainly doesn’t wash any more. What we need is a Fifth Estate: a journalism that monitors, deconstructs and counters propaganda and teaches the young to be agents of people, not power. We need what the Russians called perestroika – an insurrection of subjugated knowledge. I would call it real journalism.

It’s 100 years since the First World War. Reporters then were rewarded and knighted for their silence and collusion. At the height of the slaughter, British prime minister David Lloyd George confided in C.P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian: “If people really knew [the truth] the war would be stopped tomorrow, but of course they don’t know and can’t know.”

It’s time they knew.

Ah, Zook. I knew you well.

Post Re: John Pilger Articles
When I reflect on which video in the last six years best characterizes the insanity of our world, the disunity, the injustice, the horror, and the struggle of empathy to survive in this sociopathic nightmare of reality, the Collateral Murder video released by Wikileaks is it.

John Pilger did what any journalist worth his job title would do -- he reported on it. Most other so-called journalists would not. They are so dependent on the power structure that does the murdering that they are essentially cowering slaves. They are owned, and they recognize that they cannot write freely.

Here is an excerpt from John Pilger's report:
