That Babbling Brook Of Bullshit

Ann Arky's Blog | 26.01.2013 10:55

We have 24 hour news coverage and are assaulted with an avalanche of bullshit and trivia. We have a long winded out pouring from a sick parasite from the parasitic family of Windsors informing us he killed Taliban, all in a matter of fact, all in a day's work attitude. Then we have massive coverage of celebrities sexual exploits, people making snowmen, while other tell us how dreadful it is when it snows and upsets their routine. However you will have to search hard to find anything about the people in Europe in struggle and direct action to protect themselves against this ongoing vicious attack by the financial Mafia. You get statistics about the soaring unemployment among the young and pie-in-the-sky plans to end hunger forever. But where is the coverage of struggles taking place on a daily basis?

We were informed that the unemployment rate among the young in Spain had passed the 55% mark, but it appears that all is quiet in that country, the people are just going quietly about their business, waiting for the promised growth. It would be a surer bet to wait for the promise land.
In Greece the overall unemployment rate is now above 26%, homeless is stratospheric, suicides are rocketing, health problems, physical and mental, are going of the radar, while the Greek government becomes more openly fascist by the day, where is the coverage? Our media is indeed, a babbling brook of bullshit.
This from the Greek Streets*

Thursday, January 24, 2013
In the afternoon of January 24, the Greek government via the ministry of transport ordered the civil conscription (i.e. the forced return to work) of the workers at the Athens Metro, who had been on strike for the past eight days. In response, the workers in all other mass transportation mediums in the city (buses, metro green line and tram) have also joined or extended their strikes. The workers at the Athens metro are calling all those in solidarity to gather at the main metro depot in Sepolia (by Kifissos Ave).

It´s not in the Greek commercial media either

The people in Greece may be stoning a cop every time some politician blinks in a speech (two when it is with both eyes), but do they need others to tell them which ones to pick?

Of course the media is only interested in celebrities (non-entities) - people judged by their vacuousness and their conformity to the interests of the state. It is about indoctrination. The British state is proving itself to be the most manipulative in controlling its population while protecting its imperialistic and commercial interests. It's a pity that the scum prince made it back but not surprising considering all the protection he was given. Now he is the poster boy for nineteenth century gunbost diplomacy translated to a 21st century world dominated by the multinational / state ruling classes. The symbolism of decapitation of monarchs, as shown by the English revolution of the 17th century and the French revolution of the 18th century, is more powerful than the actual act, but the actual execution of the act is still as necessary now as it was then.

You are all right of course.

I did try to do my best to get him wacked but he was locked in a cellar and only brought out for photoshoots. We did manage to get inside CB on a few occasions but we could never find his cellar. They said that he'd been in battle but he never flew once and never ever came out for a contact either.

The British just used him as billy bait. Something for the TV gawpers to gawp at and the stay at home masturbators to feel proud about.

All very pointless of course, the war was no more winnable for his 'contribution'!

Must do better next time.
