reclaim.....the.....tv

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday March 26, 2003 22:40author by Al Report this post to the editors

some words from the NarcoNews journalist Al Giordano that could inspire us today to reclaim the Media and specially the TVs:

“The Commercial Media still talks about the so-called "Fall of the Berlin Wall." But the Fall of the Wall was an aftershock to the earthquake that had already happened. What happened to make the Soviet fall? The people in the Soviet Bloc countries took back the TV stations first. That - and not the halls of government - was the seat of Power.

There were amazing scenes from those days in which masses of people invaded the TV stations and began to stand in front of the camera as working people, students, housewives, poor people, people who never went to college and who had never been inside a TV station. And they began to tell their stories of life under those regimes on camera, live, on the air, to their nations.

That moment - when the State TV stations fell to the masses - was the moment when the Soviet Bloc fell. Only later was the Berlin Wall destroyed.”

(…)


“When the coup happened in Venezuela last year, the soldiers of the coup d'etat ransacked Catia TV and many other Community Radio and TV stations throughout Venezuela. Blanca and her colleagues had to hide the transmitter. Their elected president, Chávez, was being held prisoner.

But the masses in Venezuela already knew where the seat of power was located: They took back the national TV station and they surrounded the Commercial TV stations and corrupt daily newspaper offices. On that day, April 13, 2002, the Commercial TV stations stopped broadcasting news. The Commercial newspapers shut down, they did not publish. Of course, they have never reported authentic news or journalism, for them the job has always been one of simulated journalism at the service of the wealthy and not authentic journalism at the service of the majority. But on April 13, after Blanca and many others had taken back the State TV station and used smaller weapons like Community TV and Radio stations, like cell phones, like the Internet, to correct the lie - that "Chávez resigned" - with the truth - that a coup d'etat had stolen their democracy - the Commercial TV stations were reduced to non-stop broadcasting of cartoons and soap operas, with no news at all.

And no news was good news. The masses already knew the news, because the masses made the news, and made history on that day. Later, the corrupt owners of the Commercial TV stations in Venezuela claimed that they had to go dark on their news coverage because their so-called "journalists" - a word that, in the commercial press, means "professional liars" - were afraid for their lives! Were they? Really? I am an Authentic Journalist and if it is true that the false journalists feared for their lives I say to them and to you: "well, good!" War criminals should fear for their lives! The mercenaries who have helped the owning class to steal the public airwaves and put them to the service of a wealthy minority against the poor and working majority are war criminals.”

I totally agree with your factual statement sir, it is the media owned by the zionists and the gangsters who control us. It is unfortunate that most of the working class are not fed the correct information, hence bias by the media cooparates, who indulge in playing mind games with the population, driving them and obscuring the truth on important issues.

The electors should bring it to the next election and highlight its importance and the reason for it being legalised, because of the repercussions on people living in society. The type of media coverage based on bias can incite citizens to hate certain groups of people, because of this stereo-typing, which leads not only to harassment, discrimination and phyiscal violence, but also subtly being denied their rights too.

Factual incidents happened in the UK when the half crazed Enoch Powell, made his 'the rivers of blood' speeches, relating to migrants and their families of indian & pakistani backgrounds, this also peoples from the West Indies, who were invited to work in the UK. The UK press had a field day publishing these migration issues, with such contempt and callousness that it did not care for these unfortunate people, cunning reports were subtly subjected instilling fear not only to the masses but to these unfortunate people. Guess who were in charge, a famous labour supporter, by the name of
Robert Maxwell, who was a spy, working for zionist causes, and unfortunately was killed recently, when he got too greedy for their liking.

If everybody aks questions as to why does Mr Murdock owns so many newspaper companies in the world today ? and really who does he secretly work for ? Has he contributed for peace with the media he has under his belt ? the answer is NO. Therefore, I blame the press for the mess in society totally. I can go on and on about the abuses of the press and its onus of responsibilities, and I feel that most people the world over know, they practically get away with murder. Hence I strongly believe that the media has to come within the laws and restraints of civilised society and be legalised, like you would a rogue rottweiler. If these laws were instuited and if they were broken, then they should be punishable with extremely heavy fines and possible jail terms.

From Mohammed Daud Miraki, PhD
[email protected]
3-26-3

Dear Mr. Rense:

The following article should further strengthen the claims of my article in regards to the US losses in Afghanistan. I also have confirmation from the Pakistani Intelligence Agency, ISI, that the number of dead US soldiers I listen in my previous article are indeed correct.

Sincerely,
Mohammed Daud Miraki, PhD

ISLAMABAD (Online) -- Around 500 dead bodies of American and British soldiers killed during military operation in Afghanistan after September 11 blitz have been lying in a morgue at Shebhaz Airbase in Jacobabad .

American and British authorities because of fear of strong reaction from their masses had kept the dead bodies of as many as 500 soldiers in a morgue established at Jacobabad Airbase instead of shifting them to their own countries, credible sources informed Online here Tuesday .

The bodies of these soldiers, who were killed during last five months in Afghanistan, were brought from Baghram Airbase and other areas of war-ravaged country, sources disclosed .

Sources said American and British authorities, which were planning to shift these dead bodies from their own countries, delayed the decision after eruption of war in Iraq .

American and British authorities feared that shifting of dead bodies at this moment would affect the ongoing campaign of coalition forces in Iraq, sources pointed out .

They maintained that dead bodies would be kept at Shebhaz Airbase until US and British authorities take the final decision .

Sources revealed that security had tightened in and around the Airbase to keep this matter secret.

It should not be forgotten that Blair exulted over the bombing of Belgrade TV, in which 15 TV workers were killed.
