Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

BBC as a Subversive Public Organization

Tangled webs of deception are difficult to preserve. Even that of the Obama administration, a coven of expert subversive, true believers, only convinces other true believers these days.

Last weeks bouncing ball or squirrel, a metaphor for a distracting news event the system promotes, was about an deputy deputy of Governor Christie being a New Jersey politician and leaving a trail. That story to the end got 1.5 full pages in the local non-newspaper. There was giddy speculation that his political career was over.  

In that issue there was also a 5 inch article, page three, center bottom, about how the State Department released a statement which, oh, if you were paying attention, proved President Obama and Ms. Clinton lied to the U.N. and world and you about its permissive killing of our Ambassador in Benghazi. It lied about the YouTube basis of rioting and the arrest of some schlub for making a video, and about having no time to rescue our people; for my part a serious fly over by one jet would have scattered the Muslim terrorists, er film critics.

Recall, our retired seals had "lit up" the mortar team (that killed one) which is only done when they are informed some delivery mechanism is close.  The lighting up of the mortar gave away the position of the Americans which is why you never use the laser unless there is an immanent attack. We had a presence in the sky above the shooting.

Obama got elected because of this mammoth and obvious lie (along with Romney's dopey silence) and because of Christie became his groupie just before the election. The Chicago method: lie and double the lie, then kill off your friends, if useful.

Of course, Democrats do not really lie, that is my old-fashioned frame of reverence, they spin and reconfigure reality. Anyway, there remains a fair percentage of stupid people, using the adjective correctly, who pay no attention to anything beyond ABC radio news when it breaks into the hip hop beat. They and those of us who refused to vote for Carl Rove put Obama in power. For my part, the faster the whole government collapses the better. We need much more than a clean broom.

So, here is more on the false global warming, change, subversion promoted by the BBC.  More politically correct lying.  Well, not lying, just recasting reality to meet the correct doubleplusgood think.



Scandal: BBC’s six-year cover-up of secret ‘green propaganda’ training for top executives


David Rose of the Mail on Sunday tears the BBC a new one, thanks to an “amateur climate blogger”.
  • Pensioner forces BBC to lift veil on 2006 eco-seminar to top executives
  • Papers reveal influence of top green campaigners including Greenpeace
  • Then-head of news Helen Boaden said it impacted a ‘broad range of output’
  • Yet BBC has spent more than £20,000 in legal fees trying to keep it secret
The BBC has spent tens of thousands of pounds over six years trying to keep secret an extraordinary ‘eco’ conference which has shaped its coverage of global warming,  The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The controversial seminar was run by a body set up by the BBC’s own environment analyst Roger Harrabin and funded via a £67,000 grant from the then Labour government, which hoped to see its ‘line’ on climate change and other Third World issues promoted in BBC reporting.
At the event, in 2006, green activists and scientists – one of whom believes climate change is a bigger danger than global nuclear war  – lectured 28 of the Corporation’s most senior executives.
Then director of television Jana Bennett opened the seminar by telling the executives to ask themselves: ‘How do you plan and run a city that is going to be submerged?’ And she asked them to consider if climate change laboratories might offer material for a thriller.
A lobby group with close links to green campaigners, the International Broadcasting Trust (IBT), helped to arrange government funding for both the climate seminar  and other BBC seminars run by  Mr Harrabin – one of which was attended by then Labour Cabinet Minister Hilary Benn.
Applying for money from Mr Benn’s Department for International Development (DFID), the IBT promised Ministers the seminars would influence programme content for years to come.
The BBC began its long legal battle to keep details of the conference secret after an amateur climate blogger spotted a passing reference to it in an official report.
Tony Newbery, 69, from North Wales, asked for further disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The BBC’s resistance to revealing anything about its funding and the names of those present led to a protracted struggle in the Information Tribunal. The BBC has admitted it has spent more than £20,000 on barristers’ fees. However, the full cost of their legal battle is understood to be much higher.
