The World for People who Think
Puppet Masters
In case you are not yet aware, OfCom, Britain's Office of Communications, decided to take Press TV off air in the UK this week. The significance of this move by the state regulator should not be underestimated. The battle for free speech is definitely on.
With this move, the state apparatus has all but declared war on a foreign network's ability to broadcast a political perspective that differs from the consensus reality line. Note that the state, particularly in the UK, will spend millions per year in order to enforce a rolling agenda of talking points. The US will also spend billions to ensure the same thing.

I really do appreciate this kind of anger.
Press TV is still on
I checked my Sky Satellite service and Press TV is still working at Channel 515. I can confirm it is working in Ireland and the UK.
Perhaps Press TV will be taken off the air in the near future, but as of Friday 14th at 11.13pm it is still being broadcast through Sky.

Isaacson confesses!
Who is Walter Isaacson? To quote Wikipedia:
He was appointed by President Obama to be the Chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which runs Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and the other international broadcasts of the U.S. government.
He formerly worked for CNN and Time. He also presides over the Washington DC think tank, the Aspen Institute.
Obviously, he has been deeply involved in the world of mainstream media. "rferl.org" is Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. It maintains special broadcasting projects targeting Afghanistan, Pakistan, Armenia, and the entire territory of the former USSR.
And what is he confessing? That "news" (or journalism) is really nothing more than propaganda. He is saying this very loud and very clear. So, I hope you all were listening and that you will keep this confession in mind the next time you listen to the mainstream media "news."
For all I know, his "enemies" are as guilty of this as he is. Are we getting real news from any "news" source? Or are they all propaganda? That's why I've decided that the first and most important reform that this planet needs is: Start telling the truth!

Now we know who our real enemies are, the bastards who dictate what we should or shouldn't watch. We need balanced all round news, the BBC has become a complete joke in it's slanted coverage of world events. Shameful day for Britain if they go down this path, you expect this stuff from the USA now.
Nothing that Camoron's government does surprises me in the least. Camoron is Blair MK II. Camoron has already gone on record as saying that he will align the UK to the USA's stance vis-a-vis Iran, i.e. he will drag the UK into yet another war on the say-so of the USA. So you can interpret that as meaning that he is perfectly willing to send someone else's father, son, brother to fight in HIS war, but definitely not his own son(s) or brother(s)! Just like Blair!
So it seems as though a 'pre-emptive strike' on Iran is definitely on the cards, just as soon as NATO 'wins' Sirte (whenever that might be, maybe sometime in to next decade!), and is freed up for the defense of Israel.
I just hope that all these chicken hawks chickensh*ts calling for war on Iran (from the safety of their armchairs) will remember that Iran is NOT Afghanistan; Iran is NOT Iraq; Iran is NOT Yemen; Iran is NOT Somalia; Iran is NOT Libya, and Iran is most definitely NOT Gaza or the West Bank! Iran will defend itself!
Doubt it, though!
Incidentally, William Hague is supposed to be the UK Foreign Secretary, therefore the only one who should to speak on this. Where is he these days? He was quick enough to jump in and shout for regime change in Libya (whoops, sorry, meant a 'no fly zone'!), and to recognise the New Terrorist Group as the legitimate government in Libya. Maybe he's on holiday with his MOSSAD boyfriend, eh?
BTW, I have not miss-spelled Camoron's name!
And, yes, I am really angry!
