The Guardian

The Grauniad is well written. Its people are competent. They are also left wingers through and through. The truth is subordinate to the agenda. Their hypocrisy is gross. Their lies are tendentious. It is highly influential none the less. Their hatred of Rupert Murdoch sincerely malicious. It turns out that his crimes are theirs too. Chickens are coming home to roost now [ 2011 ]. I will not shed a tear for it. I am happy to say that I have never bought it and never will. The online version has a satisfactory price, £0.00, one that I am happy to settle for. Ditto for the Daily Telegraph, the Quisling right which misleads a different set of people.

The Dangerous Cult of the Guardian, A Thought Police for the Internet Age [ 29 September 2011 ]
QUOTE
There could be no better proof of the revolution – care of the internet – occurring in the accessibility of information and informed commentary than the reaction of our mainstream, corporate media.
For the first time, Western publics – or at least those who can afford a computer – have a way to bypass the gatekeepers of our democracies. Data our leaders once kept tightly under wraps can now be easily searched for, as can the analyses of those not paid to turn a blind eye to the constant and compelling evidence of Western hypocrisy. Wikileaks, in particular, has rapidly eroded the traditional hierarchical systems of information dissemination.

The media – at least the supposedly leftwing component of it – should be cheering on this revolution, if not directly enabling it. And yet, mostly they are trying to co-opt, tame or subvert it. Indeed, progressive broadcasters and writers increasingly use their platforms in the mainstream to discredit and ridicule the harbingers of the new age. A good case study is the Guardian, considered the most leftwing newspaper in Britain and rapidly acquiring cult status in the United States, where many readers tend to assume they are getting access through its pages to unvarnished truth and the full range of critical thinking on the left.............

Rather than relish this competition, or resign itself to the emergence of real media pluralism, however, the Guardian reverted to type. It again became the left’s thought police. This time, however, it could not ensure that the “challenging left” would simply go unheard. The internet rules out the option of silencing by exclusion. So instead, it appears, it is using its pages to smear those writers who, through their own provocative ideas and analyses, suggest the Guardian’s tameness.

Jonathan Cook wrote for the Guardian so he understands them. It is not a pretty picture that he paints. The mob that run it are capitalist swine paying themselves very handsomely.

 

The Guardian As Capitalist Swine 1289 page 7
QUOTE
BLACK, WHITE AND IN THE RED
THE Guardian has long railed against "corporate buccaneers" who saddle companies with debt to pay themselves hefty bonuses.

"If the coalition really wanted to reverse the trend towards short-term thinking," says financial editor Nils Pratley, "it would change the riles on the tax-deductibility of interest since the current rules encourage companies to load up with debt to reduce their tax bills ... and seek instant gratification and popularity in the form of special dividends." According to Pratley, "many of the corporate disaster stories of the past two years" can be explained by "the accumulation  of dangerous levels of debt".

The Grauniad should know. The loss-making newspaper is bankrolled by the highly profitable Trader Media Group, publisher of Auto Trader, which is 50.1 percent owned by the Guardian Media Group (GMG) and 49.9 percent by private equity firm Apax Partners, following a deal in. 2007 that burdened Trader Media with £835m of debt. For the reasons described by Pratley, the debt arrangement helped GMG pay no corporation tax in the 'year to 30 March 2008 despite profits of £306m.

Now comes the sequel. Trader Media has just been asked to increase its debt load so it can make a £200m dividend payment to the owners, ( GMG and Apax. Will Grauniad hacks object? Probably not, given their silence following the transfer of all Guardian assets from the old Scott Trust to a new limited company in 2008. But a surprise visit from UK Uncut flashmobbers now seems increasingly likely.
UNQUOTE
The Grauniad is run by self righteous canting rogues who like making a fast buck just as much as any other capitalist swine.

 

 

The Black, The Lies, The Guardian
QUOTE
During the 50th anniversary celebrations of the arrival of the Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks on June 22 1948, Vincent Reid, who has died aged 66, featured prominently in radio and television interviews. For Vincent was, at 13, the youngest West Indian to make the Atlantic crossing on the Windrush. In Britain, he was to become a pioneering teacher of Caribbean and African history, a fighter in the struggle against racism and injustice, and one of the two advisory lecturers who helped the former Inner London Education Authority inspectorate establish its multi-ethnic division............

Then in 1967, working as a market re searcher, he met Elizabeth Evans, an Englishwoman who shared his hatred of injustice. Despite family opposition, they married...........

With Elizabeth's encouragement and support, he was accepted, at 35 years of age and without formal qualifications, to read history, and, in particular, the history of Africa, at Sussex University. Committed to the cause of Africa and people of African descent, he had been one of the few members of the UK branch of a new Jamaican party that followed the ideas of Marcus Garvey, the early 20th-century Pan-Africanist. Graduating in 1973, he went on to do a master's degree at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.

In 1974, he joined Brixton College of Further Education (now part of Lambeth College) in south London. There he found his vocation. At Brixton he was a pioneering teacher of Caribbean and African history, a mentor to both black staff and students, and a founder of the black staff group. He also taught students with special needs and those on access courses for social work, and helped counsel students with problems........

He now had more time to listen to grand opera and jazz, to read and to follow racing, boxing, but especially Queen's Park Rangers and the West Indies cricket team. Even so, after 20 years he was deprived of what he had once told his son was his real hobby, teaching.
UNQUOTE
Reid was stupid, dirty and idle. It may be that he washed every year. I would not hazard a guess. He was also a racist full of hate for Englishmen. It was why he bullied his wife. Telling students - they had to be an all black class that homosexuality was a disease imported to the West Indies by white men was an attempt to incite racial hatred, a criminal offence under the Race Relations Act 1976. Of course he was allowed to get away with it because the Act was passed by racists who also hate England. Some newspapers tell some of the truth some of the time. When the agenda cuts in they lie in their teeth when they do not  suppress the facts totally.

ex http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/modern/arrival_01.shtml - He looks uglier in the mug shot.

The Manchester Guardian [ 1821 ]
or
Guardian

Is otherwise know as the Grauniad or Graun. It is a left wing organ but has a few good articles. It is was altogether too friendly with Zionists in their early days but  sometimes sound on systematic murder and torture in Israel.

Private Eye rarely sneers at the Graun. It has to be their paper of choice but the halo slipped recently. The eXile, a little paper in Moscow got robbed by Luke Harding of the Graun. They were not amused. See Hack Watch -Did Guardian Journalist Hack Again?
PS The eXile's style owes something to the Eye.

 

The Guardian And Perverting The Truth
QUOTE
This website proves that the British political controversy of the 1990s, the so-called 'cash for questions' affair, was an invention. The evidence within these pages shows that the most influential newspaper in British society, the liberal Guardian, had dreamt up the story in a bid to oust from power the Conservative Government of Prime Minister John Major.
UNQUOTE
Two provincial journalists write, telling us that Mohamed Fayed is deeply corrupt, the Metropolitan Police ditto and the media have morals to match. It sounds right to me and makes Private Eye's coverage look timid. Backed up in c:/data 2/people

 

The Guardian, The Arrogance And The Agenda
QUOTE
In the late 1970s, when I was living in England, The Guardian was the most Soviet friendly of all British broadsheet newspapers, constantly trying to find excuses for Soviet behaviour by implying that the West was morally at least as evil as its adversaries. Apparently The Guardian has learned no lessons from the fall of Communism in 1989. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (Who is to guard the guards themselves?)...... This is a question one may ask now that Albert Scardino, a senior editor of British left-wing newspaper The Guardian, resigned after weblogger Scott Burgess revealed on The Daily Ablution that The Guardian had engaged Dilpazier Aslam, a member of Hizb ut Tahrir, an al-Qaeda related organization, as a trainee journalist and political commentator. On 13 July, Aslam wrote an op-ed piece in The Guardian, stating that the British could not pretend “that the [7/7 London] bombings happened through no responsibility of [their] own.” Burgess’s revelation of Aslam’s membership of HuT that same 13 July was picked up by other bloggers and the mainstream media, which finally led to Aslam being sacked and the resignation of Scardino, who had known about the HuT membership of his trainee.

What possessed these people to think they could turn their paper into a platform for al-Qaeda and get away with it? The answer is arrogance. The same arrogance that characterized so many editors and journalists during the Cold War, when much of the Western press acted as a vehicle for Soviet policy. Journalists could be openly communist and that was accepted, while those who stood for freedom and democracy against the Soviets were regarded as intolerant or extreme. It was not done for the press in Western Europe to side with its own side. On the contrary, anyone who was anti-American was regarded as morally and intellectually superior. In the couple of decades since the Cold War the attitudes of the press have not changed. Their basic instinct is to side with whoever happens to be fighting against America. From worshippers of communism they have now become condoners of terrorism. To even dream of doing so in a country which has experienced terrorism first-hand throughout the war in Northern Ireland only indicates the extent of their arrogance. 
UNQUOTE
Antonio Gramsci, the chief theoretician of the communist party is still the dominant force in the main stream media, politics, law, you name it. Do they ever apologize for the evil they do? Not a chance.

 

Chris McGreal
The Graun pushes its line but it does turn up trumps occasionally. Chris McGreal, is one of theirs that tells it like it is when they see fit.

 

Mandela Praises Anti-Apartheid Comrades
QUOTE
Nelson Mandela received rapturous applause in London yesterday as he unveiled a blue plaque at the former home of two eminent anti-apartheid activists, Joe Slovo and Ruth First. Hundreds gathered outside 13 Lyme Street, Camden, north London, as the former South African president paid a tribute to "great comrades" who had helped to achieve a democratic society in South Africa. He said: "It is a great honour to appear on this occasion, because we are honouring two eminent South Africans who, as young people, decided to join forces against those who suppressed millions of people in our country."......... Also present was the MP for Camden, Frank Dobson, who said Slovo and First were "two people who dedicated their lives to a free and democratic South Africa".
UNQUOTE
There is no mention of the fact that Slovo
was a Jew and communist subversive. Mandela was a tool he used to break the South African government while keeping Jews like Oppenheimer in control of the diamonds.

 

Winter in Moscow by Malcolm Muggeridge
Malcolm Muggeridge was better known in his latter days as a commentator and television personality. As a much younger man he was a reporter in Moscow when Russia was ruled by Joseph Stalin. Mr. Muggeridge went out into the countryside and saw peasants being rounded up by the Red Army to be deported or murdered. When the Manchester Guardian got his report they were so pleased that they suppressed it. This book was never reprinted but your library will have it in its reserve collection. A close up view of practical tyranny and the people who use it for their own advantage. The Wiki is surprisingly honest about this book but it is rather buried in other matters.


Guardian In Propaganda Mode3 February 2011 ]
QUOTE
His radio show drew millions of listeners. His global conspiracy theories outraged some, but drew many others to his paranoid rantings. He dubbed the American president a communist sympathiser and supported a grassroots conservative political movement aimed at overthrowing two-party politics. He made statements that horrified Jewish groups...........

It certainly sounds like the controversial Fox News star. After all, he lambasts Barack Obama as a dangerous Marxist; his pronouncements on Nazis have caused a coalition of 400 rabbis to advertise against him in the Wall Street Journal; and his penchant for anti-America conspiracy theories on everything from Fema to George Soros knows no bounds.

But it is not Beck. It is, in fact, a description of Father Charles Coughlin, the infamous rightwing "radio priest", whose broadcasts in the 1930s disturbingly echo those of Beck today. Indeed, some experts see Coughlin as a father figure to the extremist broadcasting Beck has honed so well. Many commentators on the left, including in Harper's Magazine and the Columbia Journalism Review, have drawn a parallel between our own troubled times with Beck and the tumultuous 1930s that saw the rise of fascism and Coughlin.
UNQUOTE
The Grauniad is the leader of the quasi-intellectual left. Their comments on  Father Coughlin are grossly biased. He would at least have been aware of Distributism, a decent approach to politics opposed to the evils of Capitalism and the greater evil that is Socialism. He was very much on the right lines regarding Roosevelt's track record of pandering to Jews. Roosevelt demonstrated his commitment to democracy and the rule of law and the United States Constitution, in particular the First Amendment, which guarantees the right to free speech by shutting down the good Father's radio broadcasts and his newspaper.

 

Guardian Gloats About Murdoch's Phone Hacking Crime Investigation [ 7 July 2011 ]
QUOTE
Nick's first story on the full extent of the phone-hacking scandal was published almost exactly two years ago – on 8 July 2009. It was – or should have been – explosive. It reported that a major global media company – News International – had paid out £1m secretly to settle legal cases which revealed criminality within their business.............. The Metropolitan police – led by Assistant Commissioner John Yates – announced an inquiry. And then, within the space of a few hours, he announced the inquiry was over and there was nothing to inquire into.......

One positive step yesterday was the announcement that there would be at least one public inquiry into what on earth was going on within the Metropolitan police.
UNQUOTE
Presumably Yates has got a story that will keep him out of prison. If not he will have very soon.

Currently The Guardian’s David Leigh is on his high horse with Guido, claiming we’re spreading malicious lies about him............ Instead he warns Guido by email “you’ll be sorry”, something we hear all the time. The Guardian has issued a statement,

‘The Guardian does not and has not authorised phone hacking.’

Are they claiming then that David Leigh is the lone rogue reporter, like news International said of Clive Goodman?.........

@ @ when The Guardian ran the story on yesterday's arrest the press bureau knew nothing of it. #notverysubtle

Lo and behold today a 51 year old police officer, working on the phone-hacking inquiry named Operation Weeting, was arrested and suspended for leaking to the Guardian.  Given that David Leigh has already confessed to phone-hacking, the Guardian’s squeaky clean reputation is collapsing at a rapid speed. Was this blatant corruption of police integrity sanctioned?.......

Quarter Of FTSE 100 Use Tax Havens Says Tax Abuser [ 12 October 2011 ]
QUOTE
The extent to which FTSE 100 companies use tax havens for their operations is revealed in a database of their subsidiaries compiled for the first time by the development charity ActionAid. The 100 largest groups registered on the London Stock Exchange have more than 34,000 subsidiaries and joint ventures between them. A quarter of these, over 8,000, are located in jurisdictions that offer low tax rates or require limited disclosure to other tax authorities.

The Guardian is a run by a bunch of lying, hypocritical left wing propagandists on the make. They are parasites fattening themselves off the tax payers with those adverts for worthless government jobs. Then there is the tax evasion, the offshore bank accounts, overseas subsidiaries.

Take the point first and foremost that it is Jews complaining about being victims of lies. Secondly remember what Martin Luther told us in Jews And Their Lies. That was then. This is now. Nothing has changed. The fact is that some newspapers tell some of the truth some of the time. The Guardian used Chris McGreal who tells it like it is from time to time. He exposed evil done in Israel. Next is a down to earth appreciation of Jews and their honesty.
