Media

The future of news

The “Propaganda model” and it’s components: Agenda Setting, Predetermine, Select, Shape, Control and Restrict by: Selection of Topics, Distribution of Concerns, Emphasis, Framing of Issues, Filtering of Information and Bounding of Debate.

Events not covered, questions not asked.

The situation here is as pathetic after the meltdown as it was before. The media is owned by a postbox on Cayman, sustained by a dame who inherited the nations fish stocks, and edited by a master crash-man. It is understandable, that reporters do not bite the hand that feeds them, but even the state-factory’s mantra was all through the impeachment proceedings, – the former PM is ohh! so innocent. – Surprisingly the court did not agree.

Lost currency reserve? What, where? Offshore kronas are said to be the greatest single threat, asking for ownership or even Tobin tax is in bad taste, so is asking about transfer pricing. Every sperm is sacred.

François Hollande, said that they were dealing with a faceless money power, but then he would. “They” do have a name, face, and address, but “they” just love their impunity, privacy and bank secrecy.

After successfull removal of the FSA’s Director, the undermining of the Special Prosecutor is in progress, this too does not warrant any attention.

Even the new constitutional draft takes money out of reach for the people, so continues the legalization of private profit and public loss.

The postbox on Cayman has now revealed it’s preferred presidential candidates.

Hollywood to Controle the Internet?


Lessig tells the story of a mouse, Mickey Mouse, how the concept was first “creatively adapted” and then repeatedly used to extend copyright laws which by the way were never intended to be indefinite.

Falkwinge reminded us of one of the biggest companies in Stockholm and how it one day was no more after the invention of the fridge.  ~ Loom breaking was an earlier example.

Dodgy digits, on job-losses, CD sales and the ‘illegality’ of download are just common tactics of the copyright industry.

Stallman has suggested direct “micro payments” to your favorite artist thus bypassing the corporate middlemen

In this country the media and the entertainment industry is owned by the same people, so the disinformation coming from the public relations people (who have replaced journalists) is just contemptuous.

Lets end corporate control of our public space.

Not a day passes without our minders telling us about our true benefactors, those who come baring investor gifts: jobs, development and yes financial growth – all this at no cost to us – Hallelujah.

Somehow our narcissistic media missed this insignificant and ‘slanderous’ report.

“From Kazakhstan to Australia, taking in the views of Zambia, war-stricken Congo and Angola, cutting across from Siberia to Iceland is a network of mining and metals companies with a catalogue of environmental and community abuse in their wake. In Iceland its face is Century Aluminum, but behind them, at the heart of this web lies the secretive commodity broker Glencore International of Switzerland.”

“The importance of commodity markets has been intensified by the 2008 financial crisis. From 2003 to 2008, the commodities future market grew 1900%, from $13Bn to $318Bn55. Part of this is a shift out of stocks and shares to capitalise on increased growth in China and on natural disasters, which are helping push up the prices of basics. Brokerages such as Glencore make their money from trading on shortages” … “Rather than deal on the open markets, the main business deals are done in private, away from scrutiny.”

“Only a crisis—actual or perceived—produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes politically inevitable.” ~ Milton Friedman

They actually showed this documentary adaptation of The Shock Doctrine (2009) on TV? – But then Klein thought that we had refused treatment, although our left-wing finance minister got a pat on the head from the IMF.
