Censorship and social control.

Some of the most important struggles are internal ones.
The battle for our own minds and our bodies is as crucial
as time and space.Hence the importance of indy media.One of
the most insteresting social control measures at the moment
the reshaping of language and information.

The government have announced proposed changes in coroners reports that should give rise for concern and relates to matters such as the The Gospot Hospital Enquiry, medical ethics such as The Shipman Enquiry and the Death of British nationals abroad Diane etc

Other new forms of legal classification such as death by own hand instead of suicide.This is not something for the lawyers but a matter of concern for legitimate debate over a wide range of issues.Something I would have thought relevant .Under the guise of modernization and the demands of a modern state.The nature of life and death is been redefined.

In sociological terms Durhiems anomie and marxs alienation
are given the boot.The scale of the social changes.The theft of the nations wealth,the attacks on the benefits system,permanent war and increased personal taxation.While fat cats get fatter.Needs further inquiry and discussion.More effort is needed on the state control of the BBC and the power of the corporate media.The enemy is at home?

suicide by cop

07.06.2003 11:55



'suicide by cop' has got to be one of the most disturbing
recent changes to press language in this country....(UK)
not only did they present it as a new 'phenomonon'
if you check american news, S.B.C-both the name and the action- have been around for over a decade...
-the sinister excuse for murder by cops, by being able to accuse the perp. of suicidal impulses...
although it could be possible, and i beleive it has happened at some time...
it seems such a good excuse to fabricate cover up for
police human rights abuses IE murder...

surely another example of linguistic shift
"bombing for humanitarian reasons..."

"Imminent threat..."
