Same guy, Different spin

March 13, 2008

Hashim Thaci, you know him, don’t you. New leader of the newly independent Kosovo. A modern fairytail of people power and democracy in action.

Osama bin-laden now i am sure you know him, Most evil man on the planet, etc etc etc.

But the two of them have the most fascinating similarities.

Both drug dealers, both terrorists, they even fought together, well same war anyway.
Yet we are given such a different spin on them. Osama bad, Hashim good.

Don’t get it myself.


Its not the votes that count, its who counts the votes

March 13, 2008

So in 2000, the BBC got together with Greg Pallast in a joint investigation into voter fraud at the US elections, th result was a series of newsnight reports and a book, the best democracy money can buy’. All good there, the bbc does its job well. They uncover mass fraud in florida and the use of electronic voting machines in this fraud.

Fast forward 8 years, Us primaries, massive reports of voter fraud, in nearly every primary, nearly every primary vote being contested at one level or another, and we have Bev Harris, an investigative journalist who specialises in voter fraud, uncovering incredible evidence. she followed the votes as they were driven from the polling station and into a midnight meeting in the middle of thdesert with a bunch of guys in a truck. She found resealable ballot boxes. She has the evidence to sink this issue.

A quick check of the BBC website, dont see anything there, maybe Justin Webb will bring it up on his blog, nope.

So in 8 short years we have gone from the BBC funding investigations in voter fraud to the BBC doing its very best to make sure this election is about Obama and Hilary and nothing else.


The Open Conspiracy

March 13, 2008

Conspiracy theories. There are two words that can cause a lot of arguments. I often get accused of believing in conspiracy theories, this often lead to being accused of believing some fantastic things. Don’t get me wrong, I am no Goyin, and hence have a slightly different view of how things are.

But here is the rub on conspiracy theories. By definition they exist everyday, everywhere. Every shop, and business conspire to sell you goods, the second two or more people get together and ‘plan’ something, they are involving themselves in a conspiracy. My  point is the phrase is used more for its insinuated meaning than its actual meaning.

But I think we all know what we are talking about when we hear ‘conspiracy theories’. We are talking JFK ,9/11, the Bilderbergers, the new world order. I have never been attacked on the evidence of any of these issues,  just the concept of believing in them. The Bilderberg group is a classic example.

I get accused of believing that the powerful of the world all get together behind closed doors and conspire to influence and guide world events to there own use. Clearly a crazy idea. But they do, its called the bilderberg group,  and they  openly admit  the existence of it, no one will discuss it, but they will at least admit they go to the meetings.

There is no secret conspiracy, its a very open and straightforward conspiracy. Those who have been party to it over the years have been very good and decent, and happily published everything you would need to know about who they are, what they are doing and what they are planning on doing.  They are even very honest about how they will keep us all in the dark about it and then have the gall to openly mock us at times about it.

So yeah go for it, ignore the folks who cry wild about this stuff, but please realise how stupid you look in our eyes, most folks who argue against basic concept of conspiracies existing, at a highest levels of our society, are like a child arguing the case for Santa Clause. It’s kind of sweet that you join in but please spend just half an hour checking before you say anything.
