Trust me, since at least 1939, the previous, present and future governments of Britain have been, are and will continue to be Communist in ideology, treasonous in action, and it will take a revolution to remove them.We have no friends, and plenty of enemies, all working against us, all facets of the Synagogue of Satan.
Comment: I am CERTAIN that in the near future there will be "privacy" legislation, which will be the start of a Department of Censorship, no doubt known as MiniTruth to anyone who has read 1984. It will ostensibly be there to protect the families of murdered schoolchildren, maimed ex soldiers, and others whose private grief shouldn't be impinged upon.
However this will not really exist for this purpose but to protect the WEALTHY, the POWERFUL, and the WICKED from the press. It will make such items as the recent superinjunction affair, involving Members of Parliament, dolly bird chasing Footballers etc. much more difficult for the UK press to report.
But this is not the MAJOR reason for the Fall of the House of Murdoch.
There is a great deal of worthwhile speculation in this piece, and I highly recommend the blog from which I republish this from, if you want to see the filthy, depraved real world of political activity in the UK.
Guido has read the News of the World since he was a paperboy in West London over 30 years ago. Those who don’t read it think “The Screws” is all titillation, randy vicars and soap stars. It is that and also great popular campaigning journalism at its best, reflecting the concerns of people other than Islington Indy readers.
Politicians, the corrupt and evil feared it, today is a good day for them. Unfortunately when the drive to get the story crossed over into illegally hacking the phones of victims of tragedies, the good guys became bad guys. It has always been the case that the best stories often have a dubious legal provenance involving deception, subterfuge or law breaking, that is done to get at the truth that wrongdoers are hiding. Investigative journalists everywhere, including this blog, do it because it is the only way to get the truth. Using the dark arts to sell more newspapers with ghoulish tales is, as many have said, disgusting and unacceptable.Momentum is building for press regulation, politicians of all parties are keen to tame the feral press. Public opinion is shifting towards them. This would be a mistake. The rich and the powerful in this country would like nothing better than to have a craven and beholden press. In many countries this is exactly what they have and ordinary people are worse off for it. Privacy laws are a trojan horse for censorship.Privacy from intrusion by the state or journalists who break the law by stealing photographs, hacking, climbing over the wall into your back garden, that should be protected. Privacy laws should not be a means to hide embarrassment for those who can afford to hire Schillings. That way lies an untouchable ruling elite.In the end Murdoch closed the News of the World because he feared an advertiser and consumer boycott (plus to try take the heat off the Sky takeover). If you disapprove of a newspaper don’t buy and read it. That is simply the most powerful restraint you have on newspaper proprietors in a free democracy. Even Rupert Murdoch fears his customers.Restrictive press laws will be circumvented in the borderless internet age, however Guido would rather not have to try to expensively fight the good fight from permanently offshore. Meantime Guido wishes both his friends and enemies at The Screws the best of luck for the future. Oh, and thanks for paying the kids’ school fees.
With thanks to aangirfan (blog - much better than mine - LINK here) for making me think.
THE ZIONIST JEWS and their European, White acolytes OWN AND OPERATE THE MEDIA ACROSS the USA & MUCH OF THE WORLD. They admit so themselves.
Watch the video:
So one would imagine that Murdoch, had things been been flowing in their usual way, Rupert's Zionist pals in London and Washington could have pulled his fat from the fire.
But they didn't, even though they could, did they......
Further to my post, "There's something bigger with Murdoch than a few hurt feelings", here's something intersting from a Jewish author, which I hope you find useful in understanding the depth of anger felt by SOMEONE toward Murdoch for SOMETHING he has said or done.
On July 10, Anshel Pfeffer, a columnist for Israel’s reputedly most liberal news site, Haaretz, wrote a straightforward, if scathing, news article about the accusations being levied against media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Pfeffer’s acerbic piece, aptly headlined “Shameful Journalism Puts Murdoch’s U.K. Empire at Risk,” like others making the front pages of newspapers and websites around the world, criticized the shady news gathering techniques engaged in by News of the World, a British division of Murdoch’s News International:
"No one is coming out of this story looking good. Not the reporters and the editors of the News of the World newspaper, who hired a private detective to “hack” into the mobile phone messages of the subjects of their investigations – actors, celebrities, footballers, but also families who lost soldiers in wars and victims of murder. Certainly not the top brass of Rupert Murdoch’s News International, who pushed the Sunday tabloid into the murky depths of the journalism swamp, chasing down sensationalist headlines and higher sales.
The power of the News International empire – which in Britain controls not just the tabloid with the biggest circulation, The Sun, but also “institutional” papers The Times and Sunday Times, as well as the BSkyB satellite television channels – was so extensive that, when the police caught a glimpse of the phone hacking affair more than five years ago, a decision was made that there were more important issues to investigate."
Pfeffer’s piece was yanked off the Haaretz English website after less than 24 hours, where many older pieces often linger for days, even weeks. Equally noteworthy is that the article is now very difficult to locate in the Haaretz archives. Querying the Haaretz website search box for “Murdoch” or “Pfeffer,” the default “sort by relevance” results bury Pfeffer’s article about Murdoch, which can be located easily only if searching by date.
Haaretz’s generally slipshod archiving of its published articles is irritating to researchers and writers, and is particularly unfortunate for a newspaper whose English language edition is published in coordination with the International Herald Tribune. The most interesting and provocative articles seem to be most difficult to find and to have the shortest shelf life, sometimes vanishing in a matter of hours. (This author learned long ago to print out any item of interest appearing on the Haaretz site before it disappeared.)
Israel’s other English language news sites thus far have been offering no original commentary about Murdoch, and providing only reports or brief excerpts from wire service coverage. Curiously, neither Pfeffer nor the wire service reports point out that Murdoch is considered staunchly “pro-Israel.” In the past two years, Murdoch has been an honoree of at least two prominent pro-Israel groups in the U.S. .
On March 4, 2009, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) presented Murdoch with its “National Human Relations Award.” (This author posted this detail in a reader comment to Pfeffer’s piece that Haaretz chose not to publish just prior to the article’s disappearance, and also pointed it out in an e-mail to Pfeffer himself, to which he has not replied.) Speaking at the AJC awards dinner, Murdoch refuted the widely-believed myth that he himself is Jewish, but took the opportunity to reiterate and endorse some other myths prevalent in the Jewish community:
"In Europe, men and woman who bear the tattoos of concentration camps today look out on a continent where Jewish lives and Jewish property are under attack – and public debate is poisoned by an anti-Semitism we thought had been dispatched to history’s dustbin.
In Iran, we see a regime that backs Hezbollah and Hamas now on course to acquire a nuclear weapon.
In India, we see Islamic terrorists single out the Mumbai Jewish Center in a well-planned and well-coordinated attack that looks like it could be a test run for similar attacks in similar cities around the world."
On the first point, Murdoch ignored the inconvenient truth that the resurgence of European anti-Semitism has proceeded in tandem with European Islamophobia. Less than six months before Murdoch received his AJC award, the 2008 Pew Survey of Global Attitudes had revealed that Islamophia and anti-Semitism were both on the rise in Europe. As Ian Traynor of the Guardian noted at the time, “The survey found that suspicion of Muslims in Europe was considerably higher than hostility to Jews, but that the increase in antisemitism had taken place much more rapidly.” The rise in European anti-Semitism is a byproduct of Islamophobia at least as much as (and perhaps more than) it is a consequence of it.
Debate over whether or not Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon receives ample coverage on this blog and elsewhere, and elaboration of this issue would be a digression from the topic at hand. Suffice it to say that Murdoch (or any other speaker) could not, and would not dare to, address a Jewish group, particularly one that devotes so much of its abundant resources to anti-Iran rhetoric as AJC, without invoking “the Iranian threat.”
Murdoch’s mention of the attack on the Chabad House in Mumbai, India strongly implied that the Jewish house of workshop had been singled out for an Islamist terrorist attack. At least 150 people were killed and hundreds more injured in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks Nov. 26-28, 2008, on a crowded train station, two luxury hotels popular with foreign tourists, a hospital and several other crowded Mumbai sites, with the Chabad House an apparent afterthought. The initial Fox News report did not even refer to the Chabad House as having been a target. Murdoch’s AJC speech also didn’t mention that Mumbai has nine synagogues attended almost exclusively by locals, which were not attacked; the only one targeted by the terrorists was the Chabad center, which was both run and frequented by foreigner visitors from Israel and Western countries.
Not to be outdone, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) chose Murdoch as the recipient of its “International Leadership Award” on Oct. 13, 2010, which was presented to him by ADL Director Abraham Foxman:
“I have come to know the man, not his image,” Mr. Foxman said in presenting the award to Mr. Murdoch. “I learned that he cared deeply about the safety and security of Israel. I learned that he was as distressed as I was about efforts to delegitimize the Jewish state, to hold it to a double standard, and to seek its demise by some.”
In his acceptance speech (reproduced in full by the arch-neoconservative Weekly Standard, which Murdoch’s NewsCorp had helped to get off the ground and had run at a loss for 14 years before selling it in 2009 to Philip Anschutz), Murdoch blamed anti-Semitism on Muslims, and leftists for the “soft war” being waged against Israel, conflating criticism with armed assault:
Now the war has entered a new phase. This is the soft war that seeks to isolate Israel by delegitimizing it. The battleground is everywhere: the media … multinational organizations … NGOs.
In this war, the aim is to make Israel a pariah.
The result is the curious situation we have today: Israel becomes increasingly ostracized, while Iran – a nation that has made no secret of wishing Israel’s destruction – pursues nuclear weapons loudly, proudly, and without apparent fear of rebuke.
Israel “ostracized” by the media? Criticism of Israel as the latest manifestation of terrorism? Iran pursuing nuclear weapons without fear of rebuke? Murdoch ought to have spent a bit more time reading his competitors. Israeli policies and perspectives receive largely deferential treatment by western international wire services that are still dominant in global news flows — and, of course, the US new media.
Murdoch also used the occasion to take a swipe at US President Barack Obama:
I was pleased to hear the State Department’s spokesman clarify America’s position yesterday. He said that the United States recognizes “the special nature of the Israeli state. It is a state for the Jewish people.”
This is an important message to send to the Middle East. When people see, for example, a Jewish prime minister treated badly by an American president, they see a more isolated Jewish state. That only encourages those who favor the gun over those who favor negotiation.
Obama’s alleged mistreatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was another myth purveyed by Murdoch-owned news media. Fox News fueled the hysteria about Obama “insulting” Netanyahu by conversing with him on the telephone on June 9, 2009 while his legs were stretched out on his White House desk, revealing the soles of his shoes, at which an Arab might take umbrage. (Since neither Obama nor Netanyahu is Arab, it was unclear why this was considered to be of any relevance.) Accompanying the article was a photo released by the White House, showing Obama at ease while communicating with the Israeli Prime Minister.
All this has apparently earned Murdoch and his empire the unswerving loyalty of Israelis and the major institutions of the “Israel Lobby” here in the U.S. Last February, a group of 400 American rabbis objected to the Holocaust terminology used and misused by then-Fox News Channel commentator Glenn Beck. In an open letter published in the Wall Street Journal and the Forward, the rabbis appealed to Murdoch to sanction Beck and Fox News Chair Roger Ailes. The Jerusalem Post depicted American Jews as critical of the rabbis, rather than of Beck, Ailes or Murdoch. JP quoted the ADL’s Foxman as saying that he found the rabbis’ public stance against Beck and Ailes to be bizarre: “They’re not our enemy, and they are certainly not Holocaust deniers.”
A new accusation by former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown asserts the Murdoch media empire may have used known criminals to conduct illicit surveillance activities such as hacking and wiretapping in order to obtain personal information. Heartlessly shoddy and amazingly under-handed (and illegal; not to say, immoral) journalistic practices at his news sites? Who cares, as long as he’s “good for Israel”? And if Murdoch is “good for Israel,” they’d all best shut up about him.
NB I detest Murdoch, the Sun and Fox news, but my likes are not the point of this post.
Before we all die of laughter from the predicament that Rupert Murdoch has landed in, we need to consider the news behind the news.
There is something more than meets the eye with this whole business. Murdoch has not only met with woes in his UK operation, but Fox News has been on the receiving end of a concerted campaign from, amongst other groups Media Matters, a gang of strident communists surrounding Obama and his Jewish handlers in Washington DC.
Who stands to gain from this?
(1) The Trinity Mirror group, which owns the Indie and Daily/Sunday Mirror. The Sun (formerly the Labour supporting Daily Herald) has crushed all competition, and took the best selling tabloid spot from the Daily Mirror in the seventies, and unmoveable after that.
(2) The BBC, whose only REAL (Richard Branson's "Virgin" cable network is inured in debt) competition IS Rupert and News International/News Corps. Because of the way in which Satellite TV was set up in the UK, there was virtually no competition to Sky. Only the BBC, with a licence fee, can compete on any sort of real equal level, but as with the old ITV, finds it hard to compete for viewers in light entertainment, sport and popular drama.
(3) British Telecom, originally barred by Thatcher in the eighties from providing televisual services, has struggled to get "BT Vision" taken up by the viewers, because it relies on "Freeview" (crap) and Broadband Internet (crapper) .
From 2009: I'm told it's little better now:
Ah, BT Vision. Avoid it like the plague is what i say. I had been a BT customer for phone and broadband for two years, it became overpriced so i called to cancel and they offered me BT Vision box, new Home Hub and first 3 months free to convince me to stay. Now the only thing i'd want BT Vision for is Setanta Sports (see my comment in the "Me V Setanta" thread) as i cant receive Setanta Sports where i am. I said to BT over the phone it's only any use to me if the signal for it comes down the Broadband Line, and not down the ariel. I was assured multiple times categorically that the signal comes down the Broadband line and would work fine.
[...]
I went with Sky after this for my Broadband and Phone, as ive had SkyTV for 5 years and never had a problem. And they've been great. They've done exactly what i asked them to do. Very simple isnt it?
(4) In the US, Murdoch has offered the only real alternative to CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, the liberal print press and talk radio. His conservative/neo-con "Fox News" company wipes the floor for viewers with many of the liberal providers. The Communists are cock a hoop.
(5) Obama, his Jewish handlers and the Democratic party in the US, whose bete noir has been Fox News.
So now, without Murdoch, we have the end of the false dichotomy, the fake paradigm, and the real start of the Liberal-Fascist-Communist state, where there will be an official line, we'll all just hear the same message, attuned only to class, economic status and race, but for all intents and purposes, identical.
This is no victory for the White folk of this country. Whilst the Murdoch empire existed, strong and a real force, it restrained - to a large degree - the Reds. That's going, and I expect the deterioration of nation, economy and society generally to gather momentum .
And there is no organised White, nationalist organisation to exploit this, so it's worthless to us.
