Phil, I don't think it is possible to obtain accurate information.
In fact, I don't think it ever was but the difference, for me at any rate, was that I was always on the side of the "cowboys" and I believed everything I was told (more or less) about the "crooks".
Increasingly, and particularly after the events in Kosovo where the US armed the Albanian terrorists and fought on their side together with bin Laden, I began to mistrust more and more of Amerika's agenda, until now, I don't trust any of it. Likewise with Israel. In fact, unless I can see documentary proof to the contrary, I now believe that Al Qaeda is a US/Israeli "false-flag" operation which is designed to facilitate the "war against terrorism" and by this means expand the Amerikan Empire, especially in the oil-rich MidEast, and also enable Israel to permanently occupy Palestine and wherever else.
So, when I hear that a bomb went off in Riyadh or in Istanbul my first reaction is that the US/Israel did this to promote hate against Muslims to further their agenda because I can see no other reason for it. Indeed, if it was really a fanatic Muslim terrorist organization which was responsible, then why should they kill innocent Muslims on Ramadan or else devout Jews in a community who had lived happily with Muslims for 500 years? It makes no sense and it just doesn't fit with logic. In the same way that nothing we were told about 9-11 makes sense or even the WMDs in Eyerak, which is yet more fabrication. Clearly, if their target was Americans, as we are always being told it is, then, as we have seen in Eyerak, it's not too hard to kill them or shoot down their helicopters.
I agree about the mass media, nevertheless I do watch CNBC a great deal and also CNN. Perhaps I should emphasise that the video of the TV is on but not the audio. It's supposed to be good to have a "balanced" view on things although there probably isn't much much point to it when my mind has already been made up. |
