Pilgers admirers?

Well there’s Arjay, there’s Rhrosty, there’s David G, there’s James O’Neill and there’s…er? Well that seems to be about it really.

Not much support for the drastically waning career of a journalistic activist. The problem I see with journalistic activism is that it compromises both the activism and the journalism. They cancel each other out and you’re left with…..? Er, ah yes, nothing.

Spindoc, I was left with nothing after I read your comment.

Perhaps you could emulate Gandhi and spin your own cloth. Then at least your spinning might serve some useful purpose!

David G,

<< I was left with nothing after I read your comment >>

Yep David, that’s what I said, nothing.

Perhaps when I said there is nothing left you had the expectation that there was a hidden something. Perhaps you read but don’t comprehend? Perhaps you thought there was some socialized context that you had missed? Perhaps you feel that “nothing” is intended as an insult? Perhaps your intellect demands that to tell you nothing is nothing, requires a response that no, nothing of the sort, it’s nothing.

When I suggested there was nothing you said there was nothing. I agree but, isn’t that what I said in the first place?

Have you ever considered joining a political party? Could I suggest that you have all the qualifications for membership of the Greens party? Well you have one qualification for sure; you don’t make any sense whatsoever.

Isn’t that great David, you are indeed qualified for something.

When it comes to spinning David, how’s that outfit you are spinning for the Danish King going? You know the one that’s invisible? How’s that one go again? You know the CAGW clothes for the king. Didn’t a child beat you all to it declaring, “The King, the king he has no clothes”.

If I remember rightly, it all started in Copenhagen, the home of CAGW. Wasn’t it all started with a “fairy story” by Hans Christian Anderson? If my memory serves me correctly, all the intellectual “adults” bought into it and were all taken down by a child. I think it was all intended as a moral tale of course, way over your head no doubt as I suspect you take the contrary view that you are not actually a child

Its interesting to see Julian Burnside, barrister and human rights advocate crapping on about the media when to my way of thinking, his law society compatriots have done more to abolish justice & accountability than anyone. Sure the media is a tool of the 'ruling classes' (or maybe its the other way round) however the part played by the legal establishment shouldn't be overlooked. First we had the leeches wangling their way into politics where they rearranged the rules to their own benefit. Around the same time they decided their time was worth several times that of the hoi-polloi (thereby making justice inaccessible to all but the uber-rich). Once established with total control of their own benefits, the rules were again adjusted to ensure justice was too complex for any but their erstwhile compatriots, and that there could be no effective opposition to their nice little rorts (appointment of friendly governors / governor- general, establishment of ostensibly 'independent' renumeration tribunal which in reality is anything but, incestuous relationship with media barons, appointment of cronies to key positions, creation of quangos / flogging off 'assets' to avoid any semblance of accountability ....... and so it goes). The 'human rights advocate' bit reminds me of a certain other high profile individual promoted by the media as similar. I recall an occasion where I inquired of said person about writing a fairly straightforward letter. Response was a demand for $1500 'to consider whether or not the job would be accepted' plus another $1500 per hour 'if accepted' for a junior sidekick to do the work. Seems this 'human rights advocacy' business is exceptionally profitable !! Cynical folk like this little black duck might even harbour the view that where the legal fraternity (and of course their bloodsucking parasite political cronies) are involved, money takes precedence over any moral imperative.

Spindoc by name and nature fails constantly to address logic or the truth.His/her central theme is ad hominem and personal insults.

Note on Russia Today,there are reports that Israel is using Depleted Uranium on Syria.Another war crime goes unreported in the West.

To be an extreme rightwinger, do you have to be a selfish individual and sod any one else, as some on here are!
