CENSORSHIP - German Citizens Being Raped by Stasi, Merkel's Government, Co-Opted Left, & Facebook

ꕤ Article SOURCE http://swedishsurveyor.com/2015/09/16/stasi-veteran-will-assist-german-government-in-facebook-censorship/ #migpol #eupol #merkel .@HeikoMaas Censorship STASI-veteran will assist German government in Facebook censorship Anette Kahane – former Stasi agent who will assist the German government in monitoring and censoring dissenting citizens. Politically incorrect Germans who voice their skepticism can look forward to censorship – at least on Facebook. Minister of Justice, Heiko Maas, has had quiet enough of the uppity Germans who have the gall to criticize the ongoing population replacement so last week he sent an open letter to Facebook demanding that the social-media company commence systematically erasing “xenophobic” material. [ ...] “The goal is to ease identification of criminal statements” – says Heiko Maas to Bild. The task force’s members are appointed by the government and Facebook, but the left-wing organization Network against Nazis (“Netz gegen Nazis”) will also be represented. The network was founded in the year 2007 by the Antonio Amadeu Trust, led by the Jewish-German left-wing activist Anette Kahne who, during the years 1974-82, worked as a secret agent for the East German Security Service known as Stasi.

Ordinary German citizens are being raped by the state, and by the co-opted left that acts in favour of foreign interests rather than the interests of ordinary, working Germans. The Germany people are being denied a voice and they're being denied information by a suppressive government and by these co-opted left-wing political-correctness Nazis. It's an outrage. The government is acting in the service of imperialist foreign policy, aligned with US and other corporate agenda, and the social consequences are catastrophic for European peoples. The consequences of US foreign policy alignment (ie mass displacement abroad) are being dumped on the ordinary working Germans. Ordinary Germans, and disadvantaged Germans, are being even further disadvantaged, both socially and economically, by the influx of the consequences of: (a) foreign policy; (b) Merkel's obliging open-door to Germany policy; (c) draw-card German welfare policy in relation to newcomers that are teaming in -- from everywhere. All of the above is encouraged by various brainwashed leftist NGO airheads, who are aligned with the political pseudo-left. The co-opted pseudo-left complements imperialist policy (instead of fighting it) -- they're the enforcers upon the working-class who are without a voice or representation. The NGO airheads and the left airheads put foreign and imperialist interests ahead of interests of ordinary Germans. The NGO brainwashed and their  pseudo-left partners wish to dispense with gender, social, national and territorial borders. The pseudo-left (that's aligned with the brainwashed NGO whackos) aim to promote Germany's inclusion in the European Union -- instead of protecting the interests of ordinary Germans, as one would expect of the left of politics. Now ordinary Germans cannot even complain on social media about what they are being subjected to, and the oppressive German government appoints pseudo left-wing social media Nazis to enforce silence.

Hollywood Pimps World View Devoted to Control & Destruction

ꕤ Article SOURCE http://johnpilger.com/articles/why-the-oscars-are-a-con Why the Oscars are a con 11 February 2010 - John Pilger Why are so many films so bad? This year's Oscar nominations are a parade of propaganda, stereotypes and downright dishonesty. The dominant theme is as old as Hollywood: America's divine right to invade other societies, steal their history and occupy our memory. When will directors and writers behave like artists and not pimps for a world-view devoted to control and destruction? I grew up on the movie myth of the Wild West, which was harmless enough unless you happened to be a Native American. The formula is unchanged. Self-regarding distortions present the nobility of the American colonial aggressor as a cover for massacre, from the Philippines to Iraq. I only fully understood the power of the con when I was sent to Vietnam as a war reporter. The Vietnamese were "gooks" and "Indians", whose industrial murder was preordained in John Wayne movies and left to Hollywood to glamourise or redeem. I use the word murder advisedly, because what Hollywood does brilliantly is suppress the truth about America's assaults. These are not wars, but the export of a gun-addicted, homicidal "culture". And when the notion of psychopaths as heroes wears thin, the bloodbath becomes an "American tragedy" with a soundtrack of pure angst. Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker is in this tradition. A favourite for multiple Oscars, her film is "better than any documentary I've seen on the Iraq war. It's so real it's scary" (Paul Chambers, CNN). Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian reckons it has "unpretentious clarity" and is "about the long and painful endgame in Iraq", and that it "says more about the agony and wrong and tragedy of war than all those earnest well-meaning movies". What nonsense. This film offers a vicarious thrill through yet another standard-issue psychopath, high on violence in somebody else's country where the deaths of a million people are consigned to cinematic oblivion. The hype around Bigelow is that she may be the first woman to win the Oscar for Best Director. How insulting that a woman is celebrated for a typically violent all-male war movie. The accolades echo those for The Deer Hunter (1978), which critics acclaimed as "the film that could purge a nation's guilt"! The Deer Hunter lauded those who had caused the deaths of more than three million Vietnamese, while reducing those who resisted to barbaric commie stick figures. In 2001, Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down provided a similar, if less subtle, catharsis for another "noble failure" by the US, this time in Somalia, airbrushing the heroes' massacre of up to 10,000 Somalis. By contrast, the fate of an admirable American war film, Redacted, is instructive. Made in 2007 by Brian De Palma, the film is based on the true story of the gang rape of an Iraqi teenager and the murder of her family by US soldiers. There is no heroism, no purgative. The murderers are murderers, and De Palma ingeniously describes the complicity of Hollywood and the media in the epic crime of Iraq. The film ends with a series of photographs of Iraqi civilians who were killed. When it was ordered that their faces be blacked out "for legal reasons", De Palma said: "I think that's terrible because now we have not even given the dignity of faces to this suffering people. The great irony about Redacted is that it was redacted." After a limited release in the US, the film all but vanished. Non-American (or non-western) humanity is not deemed to have box-office appeal, dead or alive. They are the "other" who are allowed, at best, to be saved by "us". In Avatar, James Cameron's vast and violent money-printer, 3-D noble savages known as the Na'vi need a good-guy American soldier, Sergeant Jake Sully, to save them. This confirms they are "good". Natch. My Oscar for the worst of this year's nominees goes to Invictus, Clint Eastwood's unctuous insult to the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Based on a hagiography of Mandela by a British journalist, John Carlin, the film might have been a product of apartheid propaganda. In promoting the racist, thuggish rugby culture as a panacea of the "rainbow nation", Eastwood gives barely a hint that many black South Africans were deeply embarrassed and hurt by Mandela's embrace of the hated springbok symbol of their suffering. He airbrushes white violence - but not black violence, which is ever present as a threat. As for the Boer racists, they have hearts of gold, because they "didn't really know". The subliminal theme is all too familiar: colonialism deserves forgiveness and accommodation, never justice. At first I thought Invictus could not be taken seriously, but then I looked around the cinema at young people and others for whom the horrors of apartheid have no reference, and I understood the damage such a slick travesty does to our memory and its moral lessons. Imagine Eastwood making a happy-Sambo equivalent in America's Deep South. He would not dare. The film most nominated for an Oscar and promoted by the critics is Up in the Air, which stars George Clooney as a man who travels the US sacking people and collecting frequent-flyer points. Before the triteness dissolves into sentimentality, every stereotype is summoned, especially of women. There is a bitch, a saint and a cheat. However, this is "a movie for our times", says the director, Jason Reitman, who boasts about having cast real sacked people. “We interviewed them about what it was like to lose their job in this economy," said he, "then we'd fire them on camera and ask them to respond the way they did when they lost their job . . . It was an incredible experience to watch these non-actors with 100 per cent realism." Wow, what a winner.

I stopped watching movies years ago, so I haven't seen any of these films ... and I probably wouldn't have been attracted to war films, or American hero films, regardless.  Figured it was all propaganda years ago, but I'd never have been able to articulate why it's propaganda, as the author does. ꕤ

British Bullsh*t Corporation - Propaganda: "Elton John: Kremlin denies Putin phoned over gay rights"

ꕤ Article - Propaganda SOURCE http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34260134 Elton John: Kremlin denies Putin phoned over gay rights     9 hours ago     From the section Europe  The Kremlin has firmly denied that President Vladimir Putin contacted pop star Sir Elton John, who has said he wants to talk to him about gay rights. Sir Elton had said he wanted to talk to Mr Putin about his "ridiculous" stance. Later, a message on the musician's Instagram account thanked Mr Putin for "reaching out" in a phone conversation. But a Kremlin spokesman said no conversation between the two men had taken place - and hinted that the call could have been a hoax. Sir Elton's Instagram message added: "I look forward to meeting with you face to face to discuss LGBT equality in Russia." His office said that the two men had spoken. But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that reports of a conversation were "not true". Download Flash Player now You need to install Flash Player to play this content. Media caption Sir Elton admitted his wish to meet Mr Putin was "probably pie in the sky" "I don't know who spoke to Elton John but President Putin did not speak to him," he said. "I don't know [what happened] but President Putin did not speak to Elton John and most importantly we didn't receive any proposals to meet." He added: "If the president does get such a signal from Elton John, the president has always been open to discuss any... human rights problems, any issues. He is always ready to clarify the real situation." Russia has faced international criticism for its laws against homosexuality, including a 2013 bill prosecuting people for providing information about homosexuality to people under 18.

Europe: Migrant Crisis - w2eu EU-bound Immigration Handbook

ꕤ Article SOURCE http://news.sky.com/story/1551853/sky-finds-handbook-for-eu-bound-migrants Sky Finds 'Handbook' For EU-Bound Migrants The "rough guide" contains maps, tips and phone numbers of organisations which might help refugees making the perilous crossing. 21:51, UK, Sunday 13 September 2015 Video: 'Migrants' Handbook' Discovered By Jonathan Samuels, Sky News Correspondent, Lesbos, Greece Refugees heading to Greece on people smugglers' boats are given a 'migrants handbook' packed with tips, maps, phone numbers and advice about getting across Europe. Among discarded life jackets and punctured rubber dinghies, Sky News discovered a tattered copy of the unique travel guide washed up on a beach on the Greek island of Lesbos. The booklet's cover features a photograph of a young man on a beach at sunset, looking longingly out to sea, with oars at his feet as he prepares to make the treacherous crossing. The 'rough guide' is written in Arabic and contains phone numbers of organisations which might help refugees making the journey, such as the Red Cross and UNHCR. Among those behind the booklet is an organisation called w2eu, which means 'Welcome To Europe'. 1/4     'Migrants' Handbook'     Gallery: Migrants Handbook' Revealed Sonia, who did not want to give her surname, is a volunteer with w2eu and told Sky News: "Activists from our network distribute the guides for free in Turkey". She explained one of the aims of the booklet is to help those who get into trouble on the water. They can call a 24-hour hotline number provided in the guide, volunteers then pass their details to the relevant coastguard. "We take information about how many people are in the boats if they get into trouble" she said. "It's a life-saving service we give to refugees. They are going to go anyway, so it's better if we give them advice." Arabic speaker Sonia takes calls from her home in Austria and is one of a number of volunteers. "We are a big group of about 100 people" she said. "We are based across Europe and North Africa."  Video: Saving Refugees At Sea The pocket-sized guide has a handy map of Europe detailing the areas boats tend to land in. Marked in red are what it describes as "detention/reception/screening sites". On the back page are photographs of sun-drenched Greek islands, the main port on Lesbos, Mitilini, and a smiling man alongside the caption: "When I arrived at the shores of Mitilini I came to understand that I am no child anymore." W2eu's website says "We welcome all travellers on their difficult trip and wish you all a good journey - because freedom of movement is everybody's right!". It goes on to say they aim to offer contacts and counselling to refugees and migrants: "At the outer borders of Europe, people are refused entry, they are imprisoned and deported. "Nevertheless people are coming. W2eu.info is supporting you who come to Europe in your struggle for a better life". http://news.sky.com/story/1551853/sky-finds-handbook-for-eu-bound-migrants Video VIDEO TITLE: George Soros W2EU Group Is Giving Handbooks to Fake Refugee https://youtu.be/Xhm9z9ywaWY ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- comment Twitter indicates that George Soros is funding this, but the article makes no mention of Soros.

Israeli Interior Minister Silvan Shalom made a statement on the same topic, but with a different tone: Israel would do everything possible, he said, to remove migrants from its borders. “I continue to fight, with all my effort, against the phenomenon of illegal infiltration, in light of the hundreds of thousands of infiltrators to Europe in these days and hours,” Shalom wrote Aug. 28 on Facebook, using the government’s term for migrants. “I will not relent until we reach a framework that will allow the removal of the infiltrators from Israel.” As Europe struggles to handle the influx of migrants on its shores, the issue of migrants again has risen in Israel, which has been grappling with the issue for nearly a decade. While EU policy is now being directed toward finding a way to absorb the migrants, the Israeli government is still focused on getting them out. http://forward.com/news/breaking-news/320557/as-europe-struggles-with-migrant-crisis-israel-copes-with-its-own/ comment Hey, I can finally say:  I stand with Israel, without feeling bad.  lol OMG:  a border is exclusion by definition?   Gee, whiz.  Fancy that.
