The hypnotised never lie.
Fakery / Trickery / Tricksters and Jokers. Dangerous times,
Dangerous minds. Smoke and mirrors The hypnotised cannot see. The
truth police....Who watches the watchers? Fake news? Truth and
censorship who decides what is true. Government power tyranny and
totality. Who controls the media has the power to control the minds
of the masses!
Madmen in Authority What's
their problem with fake news? Or is the problem that the powers that
we let be don't like what they hear or uncomfortable truths are
revealed. As the sands of time pass they show there were different
grains of truths to the stories we were told. For example
Piers Morgan, resigned as
editor of Daily Mirror after the paper published a fake picture of
troops torturing Afghan prisoners, at the time it was denounced as
being made up news. A couple of years latter when the truth came
out, it turns out that troops did carry out abuse and torture of
prisoners.
Alternative facts and
conspiracy theories ask questions when the mainstream answers are
questionable. The truth is stranger than f(r)iction. I heard on the
radio recently that there are proposals to set up a government
department for fake news. I don't know if this is true or not, but
the frightening thing is that I can see this happening in the not too
distant future.
A Miss-information society,
is being constructed in front of our eyes, a future reality where big
lies can be disguised and dismissed as fake news, because nobody
will know what is real or not. A virtual reality of tweets, postings
and intsagram messages compete with the state sanctioned discourse of
events, information overload.
We are not in a good
place. The number of Suicides is rising, Crime is rising,
homelessness is rising and the gap between the rich and poor is
widening. So what does the Con-Government do....continues to cut
numbers of police, builds unaffordable housing that is bought by
foreign investors not to live in, all the while manipulating the
statistics and using the private sector to do the jobs of the state,
there by washing their hands of any responsibility for the outcomes
when it all falls down, and then they blame the people and make them
pay. Now is the time stand together, just like those who took to the
streets of London a couple of weeks ago to protest about cuts in the
NHS, not that anyone watching the BBC news that evening would have
known it happened, because it wasn't reported. We are in this
together, it's just that they don't want us to know it, because if
differences were put aside people would find they had much more in
common than they had been led to believe they had. A real United
Kingdom is something that those in power do not want, because it
would mean they would be out of a job and in the hands of the
people.... and that's the truth of the matter.
