BBZ Newz on the year 1811

I hate the BBZ (British Broadcasting Zionism), more well-known by its nom de plume: the BBC).

Actually, to be accurate, it’s the News and Current Affairs section I hate. In fact, i’d go so far as to say most of those who write this quazi-news propaganda and determine its output are scum.

But you may already know that.

What I want to point out today is, the BBC publishes a story about newspaper articles from 1811 which have gone online. It had the potential to have been a real interesting piece of news and commentary. Alas, the BBZ has BBC-ified it. That said, the property of the subject matter manages to prevent it from suffering total “death by BBC”.

In its coverage, there are numerous comparisons between 1811 and 2011, aspects such as, astronomy, work related strife, museums, Navy funding, even user of ‘eye catching’ tabloidic headlines (now widely exploited by the BBZ), but one glaring omission on the subjct of war.

The omission? Well, breaking with the consistent comparisons of 1811 and 2011 across multiple topics, there is no comparison or mention of David Camerons 2011 wars and those of 1811.

2011 sees war against the people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya and the looming war against Iran. Why is there no comparison made here?

Lets list the wars the UK was involved in during this period. As the ZBC says, there wars were

UK against France (Napolenic war)

UK against Portugal (Iberian Peninsular War)

There are many more wars that the British are pursuing during this time. Not to mention build-up to one of the ‘biggies’ in 1812 when American colonialists revolted thanks to the oppressive British.

Let me propose the reason why no comparison is made.

i) To avoid a reminder that Cameron is in fact another warring Prime Minister

ii) To avoid connection Britain and Cameron to Imperialism (and ongoing Imperialism).

iii) To avoid mention of British Imperialism is pretty much taboo these days.

iv) To try and preserve the glorified history of the British military’s Imperial past and present (but not mention it by name).

Here, the BBC is certainly top heavy in glorifying war, showing HMS Hermes smashing into a French ship and mentioning tributes and a poem about some idiot officer who probably had virtually no legitimate reason to be fighting, shedding the blood of others and ultimately his own blood, causing misery and hardship for his family, all for the benefit of wealthy and secure filthy elite, who regularly send such fools to fight for even greater benefit.

The comparison with 2011 army dupes and those of 1811 is also avoided. They share a similarity in shared stupidity devoid of human spirit, morality and ethics  – off to kill some dark skinned people somewhere – and get a kick out of doing it [link to British army torture/beatings/killings].

Readers might point out to the space given to an officer in Portugal writing of the horror befalling civilians in war, but it stinks of an attempt to blame hunger in isolation and not because of the war the British were involved in.

On war in this story, there no commentary attributing blame or even questioning of engaging in these wars past (by omitting wars present of course there will be no comment!) i.e. whether war should take place – was Britain attacked etc, and no comment from the BBZ as to whether what was published in 1811 was filtered and used for shaping society or in fact, just blatant  propaganda. No space is given to revealing any subversive comments that may have made it into the 1811 newspapers or if there were none, then why were one printed.

The BBZ once again sanitizes war, talking about it as though it were an abstract thing. But it is not. War is caused by human antics, greed and folly. It also seems to cherry picked particles which as at risk of repeating myself, fail to challenge the orthodoxy of 1811 or even, of today! A brief mentioning a few pre-Luddites and todays Occupy Movement simply isn’t good enough.

Once again the BBC throws out it’s pixie dust and falls in its duty to challenge acceptance of the most dire things imaginable, e.g. war.

What a lamentable thing the BBC Newz and Current Affairs dept is.
