Silence Is Consent

Weapons of Mass Distraction/Deception
Weapons of Mass Distraction/Deception
"WHEN THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE QUESTION, WE DON'T ASK ANY!" "What Have They Done In Our Name?"


Because we rely so much on mainstream media for receiving the news from around the world, we instinctively see it as real or true. It shapes our view of the world and we rarely question it. However, we are content with this, so long as it does not interfere with our comfort zone or our regular TV dinner and daily digest of soap opera. Few of us question this pattern. It has a function, an order to it that we seem completely oblivious to. In just one or two hours a day, we set aside time for this daily human consumption. While we recognise that the food on the plate provides us with energy or fuel, we bypass this necessity as a stimulant being it's more important major function as a parallel intake to what we view in front of us. At some point we will seek information to stimulate the brain, while failing to recognise that it too has the same desire to be fed. It is akin to going through a day without a watch or access to a clock.  How many of us feel uncomfortable being at home alone, especially when our partner or family members are absent for a particular time? Therefore, it is a natural reaction to greet any disruption to this program with disdain and hostility, simply because it is indeed a "program". Programs are controlled, so although we know that atrocities are being committed by those whom we are conditioned to believe represent us, we choose not to be informed about it. It does NOT make us any less responsible. Choosing the option of "What we don't know cannot hurt us" is NOT acceptable. It is still recorded, if not in our brains, then in our souls and it will remain there when we die and at some point we may have to explain what it is doing there and be held accountable. The stench of Human carnage cannot easily be washed away. Those who dismiss conspiracy theories do so as a natural defence mechanism. To steal a Hollywood quote, "Some people just can't handle the truth", but that doesn't make it go away. Sooner or later humanity will have to face up to its responsibilities. When it is right in our faces, it may well be too late, and the frightening truth is that despite it getting increasingly close by each passing day, we still remain blind.


The stench of Human carnage cannot easily be washed away. We have an incredible gift of unfathomable Love and compassion. Surely, it would indeed be a sin to waste it!

ITV News prejudice, actively promoting modern right wing extremism

Since when was ITN's Lucy Manning allowed to voice her right wing opinion as a so-called reporter. After watching her biased report on ITV's early evening lies, where she deliberately emphasized her support for a blatant Tory fabrication about protestors at Tesco's falsely accusing them of bad behavior, I was stunned at how she ever got to be a journalist. However, it got worse, Miss Manning then declared herself an authority on what tax payers think, supporting the Government "Slave Trade" program. Since when did we give her permission to mouth off on our behalf?

Just who the hell does this incompetent brat think she is? She obviously suffers from serious delusions of grandeur. As an independent writer and researcher who exposes downright arrogant so-called journalists like her, she has absolutely no journalistic integrity whatsoever. She is exactly what John Pilger was talking about, who disgraced his profession. Having spoken to some of her own colleagues, Lucy Manning is well known for her arrogance and looking down her nose on others.

I shall be petitioning ITN to fire Lucy Manning and at least hire competent journalists who respect a certain code of conduct and who know how to keep their gob shut and keep their views to themselves, instead of forcing their unwanted opinions down the throats of viewers, claiming that she represents them. She is what prominent Trends forecaster, Gerald Celente calls, a "Media Whore for the Presstitute Media". If ITV has any credibility at all left, they should sack her and give Miss high and mighty a taste of what unemployment is like under a Tory Government, and no self respecting news network will ever even consider hiring her. With this in mind, I ask all concerned about this matter to petition ITV to do the decent thing. ITV News are by no means the only channel pushing a right wing agenda, as Channel 4, BBC and Channel 5 are equally as guilty.

It has also recently been exposed that all are guilty of fabricating and manipulating news stories, Syria and the so-called Arab spring being the perfect examples. According to one source, David Cameron has them over a barrel.

Edward Bernays, father of PR and Propaganda

"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it?" - Edward Bernays, Propaganda, p47
"THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet. They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure. Whatever attitude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons—a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million—who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world. 
- Edward Bernays, Propaganda, Chp1 Organizing Chaos, p9
