CanWest -- "Fascism" Frame Set Up by Right-Wing Press
| Message Board > Controversy and Quarantine > CanWest -- "Fascism" Frame Set Up by Right-Wing Press |
| Lordpatch User Info... | Nexis, which also surveys the Canadian press, found that newspapers owned by CanWest Global Communications, a group that owns the country's Global Television Network, as well as the National Post, the Ottawa Citizen, and the Montreal Gazette and several other regional newspapers, were also among the most consistent propagators of the "fascism" paradigm and ranked far ahead of other Canadian outlets in the frequency with which they used key words, such as "appeasement" and "fascist" in connection with Iraq and Iran. The group is run by members of the Asper family whose foreign policy views have been linked to prominent hard-line neo-conservatives here and the right-wing Likud Party in Israel. full article at: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0901-01.htm - Fri, 1 Sep 2006 8:17pm Edited: Fri, 1 Sep 2006 8:43pm | ||
| Mace User Info... |  Hard-line, neo-conservatives... Well, we know that this one is a lie, because, even though, we know, the 'Neo-rats' [Asper Family] can print what they want to, there is definitely no true link to any source of 'Likud' or Israel's news, unless that is, the you and your sources, can link, any single news outlet which were to be consolodated in Tel-Aviv, and Winnipeg at the same time. The Original Asper who started Canwest and Global, was a former Liberal Party Member of Parliament himself, who with his Liberal ties, and powerful connections to Politics, was able to establish one of the biggest Media Empires in the entire World. Izzy Asper, who died, with his bleeding 'liberal' heart, (in around the same time- just prior to an election call), the Liberals famous 'dithering' antics- an 'abstaining call'- Asper's related death (imo) [Liberal Fed.'s] for predicting who was going to win, to the public, before an established election time had been set to be installed; through Elections Canada. It was never, given to the public, the nature of Asper's Death at the time, - you may look into it now, and it might say the actual reason- then, it didn't exist.. By 6 weeks prior to this point of the Election, I was witness to his pretencious press statement, made by Izzy Asper himself, declaring 'Paul Martin will win the Election!' (Against Stephen Harper's Conservatives- June, 28th, 2004) before the election was called. Izzy Asper died of unknown reasons, back around [est.] Jan.- Feb. 2004 [exact date?] One thing I could agree on with this family being called fascists, is that the entire family is not how they say, and the heir siblings of 'Herr Gobbels' are not the same as their father is. One thing for certain I can say in relation to any premature, election prediction by a media mogel magnate is that... I still say.... DOLPHINS- SHOULD NOT BE, ALLOWED TO, MARRY JEWS!!! Brit Jew marries dolphin Unusual wedding: British woman marries her beloved dolphin in Eilat ceremony Joe Kot Till death do us part? An unusual wedding ceremony was held in the southern resort town of Eilat on Wednesday, as Sharon Tendler, a 41-years-old Jewish millionaire from London married her beloved Cindy, a 35-years-old dolphin, Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Thursday. The groom, a resident of the Eilat dolphin reef, met Tendler 15 years ago, when she first visited the resort. The British rock concert producer took a liking to the dolphin and has made a habit of traveling to Eilat two or three times a year and spending time with her underwater sweetheart. "The peace and tranquility underwater, and his love, would calm me down," the excited bride said after the wedding. After a years-long romance, Tendler decided to embark on the highly unusual path of tying the knot with her beloved dolphin. Last week, she approached Cindy's trainer Maya Zilber with the extraordinary request. Zilber accepted the challenge and "talked the idea over with the fellow," who apparently consented. 'I'm not a pervert' And so on Wednesday afternoon, the thrilled bride, wearing a white dress, walked down the dock before hundreds of astounded visitors and kneeled down before her groom, who was waiting in the water. Cindy, escorted by his fellow best-men dolphins, swam over to Tendler and she hugged him, whispered sweet nothings in his ear, and kissed him in front of the cheering crowd. After the ceremony was sealed with some mackerels, Tendler was tossed into the water by her friends so that she could swim with her new husband. "I'm the happiest girl on earth," the bride said as she chocked back tears of emotion. "I made a dream come true, and I am not a pervert," she stressed. Tendler said she and her newly wed husband will probably spend their wedding night bowling. "But what kind of children would they have?" one of the children in the crowd asked his father. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ariel Sharon suffers major cerebral hemorrhage CTV.ca News Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has suffered a "significant" stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, says a hospital official in Jerusalem. Dr. Shlomo Mor-Yosef said Sharon is under general anesthetic and is breathing with the assistance of a respirator while doctors assess his condition. As a result of the hemorrhage, Sharon has suffered "massive bleeding and was being transferred to an operating theater," Mor-Yosef told reporters. Surgeons are operating on Sharon to drain the blood from his brain. There's no information about how long the procedure will take or what Sharon's prognosis is. Sharon's authorities have been transferred to Vice-Premier Ehud Olmert, Cabinet Secretary Yisrael Maimon said Wednesday. The Israeli Prime Minister was scheduled to have surgery on Thursday to close a hole that contributed to his Dec. 18 stroke. But after complaints of chest pain and weakness, Sharon was taken by ambulance from his ranch in the Negev desert to a Jerusalem hospital. His personal physician was with him. As a precaution for Thursday's procedure, which was to last three hours, Sharon made plans to transfer power Olmert. That transfer would have lasted until his release from hospital on Friday. The rare transfer of power is significant given the political instability in Israel. However, CTV Middle East Bureau Chief Janis Mackey Frayer said, "There have been no known problems with his heart. "But certainly it's no secret that his doctors have told him he needs to lose some weight; he needs to monitor his blood pressure." Doctors also put Sharon on blood thinners after his Dec. 18 stroke to help prevent clots. A neurologist told the Associated Press that cerebral hemorrhages account for only about 10 per cent of strokes, and that use of blood thinners are sometimes linked to them. "It's among the most dangerous of all types of strokes," with half of victims dying within a month, said Dr. Robert A. Felberg of the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans. Sharon, who turns 78 next month, is seeking a third term in March 28 elections. He recently quit the hard-line Likud Party to head a new centrist party, named Kadima, in the upcoming election. - Fri, 1 Sep 2006 10:29pm | ||
| Lordpatch User Info... | ..the psychological consequences are less when technology permits us to act at a distance-- ...Bauman says that animal pity is inspired by the proximity of the sufferer, and it seems contradictory but true that it is harder to kill one person with one's hands than a million by pressing a button. However, there is another technique civilization uses which Bauman does not discuss; this is the narcotization of the public via mass entertainments, which procedurally ensure that we are distracted and daydreaming and substantively counteract compassion by encouraging our cruelty.... The implication was, as Juvenal's famous quote implies, that the masses put off democracy and substituted spectacles: Now that no one buys our votes, the public has long since cast off its cares; the people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions, and all else, now meddles no more and longs eagerly for just two things--bread and circuses. http://www.spectacle.org/496/dream.html - Sat, 2 Sep 2006 9:11am | ||
