oh.. NOW it's news..

UPDATE - Just to prove my point... took these photos of my TV. CNN starts blurping "Al Qaeda" and then lists all these attacks intentionally conflating probable anti-elite attacks with Mooslims (as still-Preznit Bush calls them). They never say outright these attacks have any connection whatsoever, but the exploding fireball backgrounding a shot of the current crisis bracketing these unrelated incidents is ah... pretty freekin' suggestive, no?


The lesson I learned from 9-II is to listen carefully to what's said between the time of initial reporting and the time the word "AI Q@eda" is mentioned - roughly 4-5 minutes on average (and yes, their name has already been raised a few times on CNN and BBC) . But before the meme is established and the information lockdown is in place sometimes some news actually slips through the filter.

So what's infinitely telling is the BBC drags in some Indian woman with dishevelled hair and half asleep who "stays in those exclusive hotels all the time" and she starts up by sayng.. "Well, these attacks have been an ongoing pattern all this year throughout India... blah blah blah"

REALLY? I never heard one single report of this! And like as not, I never will again. The screen comes down, the filters go on, and the blare of the commercials return... "Incredible India!"

When there's a coup d'etat the first thing is to grab the radio and TV stations. I'm not surprised. How much popular dissent is going on with the kapitalist structure that is just supressed? And now folks; back to our top show "Running Man" sponsored by Cadre Cola!
