the battle of the media billionaires...

media moguls

It's hard to know where to start... 


No matter what you read, your source of information has been corrupted by the billionaire media barons, the gossip columnists and Google. Even this column has been severely distilled from many sources and flavoured with some truth — sometimes impossible to find, like the matchstick that was used to burn the haystack down.

Starting with George Soros. 

We should remind ourselves that George Soros is one of the principal financiers of the Panama Papers source, the ‘International Consortium of Investigative Journalists’. The ICIJ is funded and organized entirely by the Center for Public Integrity in the USA — the supporters of which include the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Endowment, the Rockefeller Family Fund, the W K Kellogg Foundation and the Open Society Foundation (Soros)… among many others, including USAID.

Soros hates Russia. This could go back to the days when Russia "liberated" Hungary from the German Empire and "absorbed" Hungary into the USSR. Many Hungarians resented, many left the country.

Back then, during WWII, as a Jewish teenager Soros saved himself by denouncing, possibly for cash, other Jews to the Judenrat, the Jewish Council then employed by the Nazis to send Jews to concentration camps. He quit this job early and survived further on by impersonating the godson of a ministry employee who was employed at times to do inventories of Jewish estates after the occupants had fled the country. Soros (meaning "soar" in Esperanto — which Soros learned as a kid), born György Schwartz, survived the battle of Budapest between the Germans and the Russians who kept their hands on Hungary until 1989.

After migrating to England and studying "economics", sometimes supported by charitable Quakers (all Quakers are charitable), Soros got work in a merchant bank after holding a few low paying jobs, including selling souvenirs on a beach side. The rest is history. 

Soros had become addicted to cash on a grand scale.

The main purpose of the Panama Papers exposure was concentrated on damaging PUTIN in most of the "free press" in the Western world. There was not a single proof, but the Guardian, like many other media, had massive spreads about Putin's "corruption". Soros, through this dubious "Public Integrity" network was creating a massive disinformation dump, using real documents stolen from Mossack Fonseca. No one in the US got hurt.

Soros is said to be leaning to the left. Ho-hum? Not the real left... He hates the real left. He prefers "free" markets, low taxes and is hypocrtical in regard to global warming. He warns that coal could destroy the planet, but invest heavily in the black stuff. Cash before the planet. Soros supports Hillary. He has given US$8 millions to her campaign. Yep. As if Hillary leaned to the left... La Femme uses the Democrat platform to actually shift the political sentiment in America to the far right. La Femme also wants to destroy Putin, like the neocons. This ideal is loved by Soros who claims the Ruskies are interfering in her campaign by releasing damaging emails. The Russians have nothing to do with it, but are good fodder to point the finger at.

Soros wants Europe to collapse. I know why... Not only he has placed a huge derivative bet on this outcome, he sees Europe as a form of Nazism. Brexit is his mana though he has made contrary noises about it. The way these guys play the market is often complexed by secret counter bets. The list of Soros' investment contradictions abound... 

Anyway, Soros placing a bet anywhere will influences the markets because his gambles are often in the US$billions. With this sort of cash, the odds become skewed. To amuse himself, Soros makes a lot of his cash by selling "lefty news" (liberal progressive — NOT SOCIALIST) in his media outlets. But really Soros is in it for the money. And he will make noises and rattle the tin in various government company to suit his preferred outcome: cash. 

Uncle Rupe is a "gamblist". A "gamblist" is a gambler who knows the outcome of the game. Without obvious cheating, the gamblist CREATES the outcome of the game. Like Soros he will play the field but he has no compunction in changing horses during the race. He will support for example Blair and New Labour (fake "left", mind you) in the UK but support George W Bush (ultra-right neocon) in the US — mostly because their agenda was the same. Then he will support a Cameron in the UK, while manipulating the game in the US. 

At the moment, the US professional electioneering game of official bullshit is a bit muddled. 

Hillary is a thief and liar, while Trump is a brainless bully... It appears that Uncle Rupe had made an early bet on Trump, but on this one, I think that he does not care much about the result of these US presidential elections. The outcome — war or peace with the Russians — will provide cash for Rupert. He will make sure of that. And I am prepared to believe that Rupert is not really enamoured with destroying Russia, a potential large market for his "news" and his Hollywood (20th Century Fox).

He even supports the communist in China. This blessed union to get a foot in the door and make cash.

On the other side, Soros has gone madly "Idealistic" against Russia and would love war, which Hillary will indulge in, indirectly as promised. She will bomb Syria, and this means destroy Damascus, like she destroyed Libya. This would upset Russia's plans for some peace in the region, without caving-in to the Saudis.

Both of these media barons don't care about who dies or live, as long as someone, comfortably sitting by a fireplace, slippers on their tootsies, somewhere anywhere, buys the hype through their outlets, that include Hollywood and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Peace and truth are not options.

And the complication is to know who is in bed with the Jewish Mafia. Some people think that Murdoch is in bed with the Likudists, while Soros is not really loved by the people he betrayed, despite a certain forgiveness due to his cash, with which he can buy favours... Jews can be forgiving when cash is involved. Sorry, this was a bit too racist, even for me. 

Most of the Murdoch media outlets are portrayed as sponsors of Israel and vice versa.

One has only to remember the disgraceful spreads 13 years ago in the Daily Telegraph about Saddam WMDs which could hit Cyprus within 45 minutes... These were odious lies, with illustration to twist our mind. We knew it was grand bullshit but most of the plebs bought it. It was designed to froth up to support an illegal war by our own Howard "helping" Blair and Bush. 

War sells papers. Pain sells paper. You don't really buy papers for the "good" news. Mix bad news with patriotism salted with some racism, and a lot of cash comes down into the till of the betting machines even without using the lever of the one-arm bandit...

For Rupert, Australia is chicken feed, but it is an important place where to test ideas that promote shit. And media shit we eat. Forgiveness for the ugly taste is in our nurture not to be able to notice. So we eat more shit. 

Glenn Beck is a worry. Glenn was used by Uncle Rupe as a right-wing spruiker — a collector of religious customers — or a collector of votes for the right wing at election times.  

Glenn Beck is a Mormon, though he was born in a Catholic family. He admitted to praying god to kill Putin.  Uncle Rupe also used Glenn to denounce Soros' devious games... Soros is Uncle Rupe's main competitor. Eventually, Uncle Rupe had to dump Glenn Beck from his Fox network, mostly because Glenn's rants were not bringing in any more cash. In Rupert's religion, this is the most heinous of sins. 

Meanwhile we could become citizen journalists...

shrinking media sources...

Can you imagine a world where your only media options were News Corp publishing? Who would hold the powerful to account [and] how would we know verifiable fact from factualised fictions? ~ Dr Martin Hirst 

I HAVE TO SAY IT: I have a grudging respect for Chris Mitchell, the former editor-in-chief of The Australian.

Under Mitchell’s leadership from 2002 to 2015, The Australian (The Oz) has cemented its place as the go-to source of news and opinion from the centre-right perspective.

Mitchell’s "take no prisoners" editorial style and his willingness to pick fights with anyone to his left (that’s a lot of people) has helped The Australian to survive for many more years than it should have.

Apart from a brief period in the 1980s and 1990s, The Australian has been a loss-making paper for most of its life. As early as 1975 Murdoch complained bitterly about the cost of producing a national daily broadsheet. The printing, transport, newsprint costs and the wages of journalists were all out of control in those days.

It’s not much different today. But ever optimistic, Chris Mitchell was bravely spinning the line that all is well at The Australian. According to Mitchell’s latest commentsThe Oz is still making money on its subsidised sales to hotel guests and airline customers and News Corp is committed to keeping the title alive — even though it appears to be shrinking before our eyes.

More to come...

soros is working on ousting putin...

The Hungarian billionaire appeared to have a fascination with not just fostering but creating anti-Putin opposition forces inside of Russia in a bid to destabilize the country.

The recent DC Leaks document dump of over 2,500 documents from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations illustrates a disturbing trend by the billionaire of using his wealth and influence to sow chaos across the world in a bid to profit off of global suffering and impose neoliberal ideas on an international scale.

and now the banks to the fore of the media wars...

US film director Oliver Stone has stepped up to defend RT after NatWest bank gave notice that it would close its London bureau’s bank accounts in December, without explanation.

“RT has always been responsible, they are very clear about their facts, and they show filmic evidence. Maybe you are a threat – they consider you propagandistic,”  Stone told RT’s Afshin Rattansi, as a guest on his Going Underground program, when asked about what has become an international incident. “But when I look at the London papers, I think who is being propagandistic? It’s a media war, and it’s a shame that the truth is being sacrificed.”

According to a letter from NatWest, a subsidiary of the majority government-owned RBS, which has been made public by RT's editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan, the bank has made a “final” decision to close all of the channel’s accounts, and “not prepared to enter into any discussion in relation to it.”
