Politics.

So why aren't the BBC Sky The Guardian etc reporting on what millions of Jews around the world protest about on a regular basis all over the place regarding what is going on over there?
@JACKTHELAD, How do you know all this when you do not watch the television.
I don't watch telly ..... :oops: ( you quoted this on a other thread )
That makes you as good as all the political minded people.
However I do agree with the point you make.

Well none of the stuff I've supplied so far would make it onto British telly which is kind of my point.
I have read a lot over the years and I'm an internet news junkie.
Remember people like John Pilger?
Guys like hime find it almost impossible to work for the main stream media because they keep telling the truth which is not what is wanted by the news corporations and the advertisers.
So they become independent news reporters making their own videos and writing on alternative news site.
Take Gadaffi and Libya .... I followed that story with fascination for forty years.
Probably the nearest thing to a revolution for the people that ever happened ... forget Che Guevara as the poster boy of revolutions Gaddafi was the real deal.
A young man approaches seasoned military men and financiers and says this has to stop .... this has to change and they listen to him and back him all the way and the poorest nation on earth becomes the wealthiest population on the Africa continent and possibly one of the wealthiest populations in the world but .... doesn't suit our corporate empire minds for us to think that way but the facts are not the news bulletins and propaganda stories we get fed.
I find it disturbing and fascinating.
The Zionist stuff I posted above .... how do the entire western media get to agree not to cover that stuff .... don't even mention it year after year?
That is the fingerprint of proof that the western media is owned and not in our favour.

I'm all for political discussion,but most of what you state falls in the realm of conspiracy theory and is better left to those sites who thrive on this nonsense as with aliens,ghosts, Atlantis and Elvis working in a chip shop.
Just my opinion.

Good morning.
Nonsense aye .....
Care to elaborate?
The Jewish people protesting are a conspiracy?
It's been reported on in the main stream press so everyone knows about this stuff?
General Wesley Clarke one time presidential candidate isn't real and what he said didn't come to pass?
Libya going from being the poorest country on earth to the wealthiest on the African continent under Gadaffis revolution didn't really happen?
Fractional reserve banking isn't real?
The trillions of dollars spent on war in the paradise video never happened?
Governments around the world don't lie .... are never involved in huge conspiracies?
Maybe Iran doesn't exist?
Maybe North Korea isn't a basket case nation?

Yes I can see how some attitudes may well cause problems on a thread like this.

That is because you have a strong view on so called world wide conspiracies.
I thought this thread would be more about local politics with the up incoming general election etc;
 
Whats members political view on Fracking.
"A gas company is applying for a licence to frack in North Yorkshire."
 
What conspiracies have I written about?
I made a post about the election.
It's obvious not many people are interested in domestic or international politics so as Cath mod said I'll just end up talking to myself and abandoning the thread eventuall.
This conspiracy label is all to easy to chuck around when someone doesn't go with the offial story.
The official story that comes from people you know lie and cheat more often than you change your underwear.
I'm still baffled how any of this stuff can be seen as conspiracy theory and I fear for people who can only accept the official world view.


Like Hitler said .... It's a good job for leaders that men don't think.
As you were.
 
Capitalism Killing the Earth and its People

‘I see a bad moon rising


I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightning

I see hard times today’

John Fogerty, Bad Moon Rising (1969)

January 31, 2015 "ICH" - "Press TV" - John Fogerty’s classic rock song ‘Bad Moon Rising’, from the 1960s, could be the foreboding soundtrack for what is rumbling in America’s Midwest today.

Earthquakes have now become a daily occurrence in Oklahoma and other Midwest states. In the past, a baseline incidence of quakes was two or so a year. Now, the region is experiencing over 500 a year, according to official seismological records. So far, there hasn’t been “a big one”. Most of the quakes have registered around 3 to 5 on the Richter Scale. But it seems only a matter of time before the Earth lashes back with deadly force.

A report this week in the Washington Post tells of widespread structural damage and personal injuries from the “swarm of earthquakes” that residents in Oklahoma are having to endure. With trepidation, ordinary people are fearing that a final calamity is crescendoing.

“The earthquakes come nearly every day now, cracking drywall, popping floor tiles and rattling kitchen cabinets. On Monday, three quakes hit this historic land-rush town [Guthrie] in 24 hours, booming and rumbling like the end of the world,” reports Lori Montgomery for the Post.

“After a while, you can’t even tell what’s a pre-shock or an after-shock. The ground just keeps moving,” says one resident. “People are so frustrated and scared.”

The oil and gas industry will, of course, deny any link between the new geological phenomenon and its increased drilling activity. But self-serving capitalists are hardly a reliable source. They claim that the surge in seismological tremors across America’s Midwest is just part of a “natural......

I have no idea how accurate or not this report is.
I have done no research and know very little about fracking.
Just an article I came across a few days ago.
It could be conspiracy stuff .....
 
Governments around the world don't lie .... are never involved in huge conspiracies?
I am only reading what you have shown us. I am not saying it is wrong. probably the thread was not what I expected it to be.
 
My personal view is we are squeezing every last drop of anything and everything out of the planet in our pursuit of things.
All the things we manufacture and consume come from the earth.
Our great minds great intellects seem unable to figure out any other kind of society we could live in other than a consumer society.
Consume consume consume ill theres nothing left.

I don't have a great mind so I don't know what the answers are.
What I do know is the saying that we are borrowing this planet off future generations is rubbish.
We have stolen it off them.
 
You are a well informed man, so why are you trying to be deliberately inflammatory?
How is saying I don't vote inflammatory?
You're a touchy lot.
I like to think I'm reasonably well informed.
Have you stopped to think that might be why I don't vote?

I'd be genuinely interested to know what topics I have posted that come under the realm of conspiracy theory.
 
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=j...ei=NpTOVP6fHYLuUp-Sg7AP&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQHow about some propaganda?
Propaganda by omission even.
Israel and Palestine are never out of the news.
So why aren't the BBC Sky The Guardian etc reporting on what millions of Jews around the world protest about on a regular basis all over the place regarding what is going on over there?
Protests about what Zionism is doing to Palestine and what affects Zionism has on world Jewry?
Military conscription of religious Jews.
Why and how do the main stream media keep this stuff from the world?
Who is making these decisions across the western worlds media?
Take a look at these pictures ... these are not one off events.

Jews against Israel.
Jews against Zionism.

Governments have always controlled the media. Usually by bribery or threats towards the owners. The business of the phone hacking is a case in point. The most effective way of shutting things down is not to give it airtime. Or to give it a thirty second slot on the news and find some idiot who is behaving in a poor way to represent the rest of that group. Cameron is a master at it. Teachers strikes, fireman strikes to name but a few.
 
I think politics should be absolutely kept OUT and OFF the forum. Its a sure way to inflame and spoil relations between members. Better to focus on our common interests and concerns.
Pasha having a look around this place it would seem our common interests are wide ranging.
Music arts and crafts photography ... and maybe some politics.

There's a saying ... can't remember its origin ...
If you don't read the papers your ill informed.
If you do read the papers you're misinformed.
 
I don't vote.
I will turn up and make a mark or a statement but I won't vote.
I think that this is wrong. People went through hardship, were ostracised and even died so I could vote. So I feel that it is my moral duty to exercise that right.
For those who are interested, my first vote was for the greens and there after labour. I try to encourage the young people I work with that it is important for them to vote. I have talked about some of my views and told them that they should read all the manifestos and make their own minds up. But they should find out what's going on in their own countries, the rest of the world and vote.
I have friends and relatives who vote differently to me. That's fine - but they are wrong:D
Google the word Tory. It's an 18th century term for robber or thief! :hilarious:
 
Having spent my childhood in poverty and been working all my life in industry, now semi retired and still paying tax and NI, I'll let you figure out who I reluctantly vote for.
Oh yeah been a member of a union for over 45 years.
At least they have rates for retired people!

My biggest beef is that whilst I have never had a day on the dole (nor the wife) when it comes to asking for help because the wife is disabled. They say no straight away!
My pension is slightly over the level that you may have to claim. We have been through all the vigorous court battles, she doesn't get a medical now cos there is no way she can do anything for more than 5 minutes.

If tax was based the same way, on the earnings of both partners or what comes into the household, then a lot more tax would be collected especially from those who should be paying more.

Benefits should apply to everyone on a fair basis. But how do you do that?
There are literally thousands of couples of my age in the same boat. I wished I had never paid for a pension it's a complete rip off!

The government are supposed to look after the disadvantaged and the poor, this government only look after the very rich and big businesses!

Didn't mean to have a rant.
I feel your pain.
It is evident that benefits should be based on household income. Sadly it isn't!
