A THOUGHT FOR NOW - RUSSIA TODAY TV (RT) NEED FOR LESS GLARING PROPAGANDA AT TIMES. PART 1

-




It is necessary for the public to be provided with an 'objective presentation of what is happening in the world, in their own and other countries. Yet, this is  a challenge which is probably never met, or, indeed, can ever be met. Why, because the 'news' and other media presentations with which we, the public, is presented with, is never 'objective', or 'neural.' 

 What we are presented with, is always being filtered, edited, and selected through the prism of the persons who 'conceived and produced it', and by the presenter. More so by the producers and owners of what is being presented.

 And so it is, that on several occasions I have watched Russia Today TV, RT, presenting 'news', 'commentaries' and programmes on what has or is taking place in the West, and has, in my view, presented a one-sided and patently biased picture.


 I have noticed this in RT's position towards the German government of Angela Merkel, in which it has, again, in my unbiased view, sought to criticise that government's position towards how it and Europe should deal with the challenge of migrants in and who want to move to Europe.

 Take for example the most recent Isis outrage in Germany. It is clear that it is impossible for any country to prevent, as opposed to reducing the risk of some humanoid taking a vehicle and using it as a weapon to mow down innocent people. That is a fact.


 Yet, instead of citing this, probably as a preamble to its presentation of this tragedy, RT sought to show evidence to support their hypothesis that the tragedy occurred because the government and the authorities failed to take sufficient precaution to prevent such outrages. 

 If one is to follow RT's apparent logic, on the basis that the reporters are being 'objective', as opposed to using what has happened for propaganda purposes, then the German government would need to turn the country's Christmas markets into little armed garrisons. In other words, the humanoid terrorists would have succeeded in forcing the Germans into greatly changing the way how they live their lives.

 To be continued.

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.4.

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.1

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

THE EMMANUEL CHURCH SERVICE - GODISM, RELIGION AND THE END OF RATIONALITY?

All or many things are indeed 'bright and beautiful', but did the lord god really made them all? And what about the things which are not 'bright and beautiful'? So, there I was on this dour but still refreshing Sunday, with the heavens or sky enveloped in grey clouds, as far as the seeing eye could see, as the saying goes, when the BBC's Radio 4 Morning Service came on. As much as I am an evolutionist, I still could not help but being spiritually stirred by the stirring force of the 'religious' song which the congregation - from The Emmanuel Church, in Manchester, United Kingdom - began to sing.  You might imagine, wrongly, that this was a case of god getting through to a non-believer, but that is not really the case. It was really more a matter of a person who had a background of having to go to Church and had been indoctrinated throughout early childhood. A person in whom the 'fear of god and fear of hell' had been instilled during th
