The internet is a fantastic invention. With it anyone can say anthing they want to to the rest of the world very inexpensively. I think the mainstream media is controlled by large special interest groups and because of this, the content from each particular mainstream media source is controlled.

The internet has its problems also because anyone who posts on it can be a small version of a special interest group and can say things that are slanted or untrue.


Overall though, the internet has a lot more positives than negatives, and takes power out of the hands of the big special interest groups and puts it back in the hands of the people, which is always a good thing.


I think Ben Meisner's radio show on CKPG got cancelled because on it he was ruffling the feathers of some of these special interest groups.

I am glad to see that he started up opinion250.com because there a lot of knowledgeable posters on it and I have learned a tremendous amount about our city and province on it, and Ben can now go back to ruffling the feathers of the special interest groups.

Charles:
You are right on the money about mainstream media. They are owned by corporations whose primary goal is to make money. However, they also serve as publicity outlets for other corporate interests. Think about how much coverage the theft and sale of our railroad received by Global news. Hardly a blip. Sadly, many people watch or read mainstream media and thus they are fooled into thinking exactly what the corporate world wants them to think. We see that in many of the posts we see here as those who can not think for themselves repeat the gibberish they are told in the mainstream media. Congratulations on chosing wisely what to read. Your already way ahead of many who are too lazy or lack the intelligence to think for themselves!!!

Anybody see 'Push the button' by PG Citizen associate news editor Rodney Venis.

A prime example of the crap that comes from mainstream media MSM these days. The Citizen is a paper owned by zionist interest so 'push the button' should come as no surprise from that paper. Almost all mainstream media is now owned or controlled by zionist interests.

Here is what happens. The end goal is the materialization of the politics of fear into a pragmatic looking agenda easily sold to an uninformed public that 'push the button' is the only answer.

Its the zionist political game plan. Its rooted in the Book of Esther in the Old Testament. One of only two books in the early bible that makes no mention of god (you are god) and is proven to have no possibility of historical realism, thus a story created for a purpose, but not necessarily historically true. You can read it for yourself, but it makes theological sense of a few hard facts. It is the basis of the Jewish holiday of Purim.

The Book of Esther tells the story of a attempted 'Judeocide' and how the early Hebrew were able to save themselves through infiltration of power. It talks of the King of Persia who married a Hebrew girl that he did not know was Hebrew. The king's prime minister equivalent, a man by the name of Haman, plots to have the king kill all the Hebrews, not knowing that the Queen is also Hebrew. In the story Esther, the Queen, informs her husband the king of her religion, and at the guidance of her cousin Mordecai is able to foil the plot and have Haman and his sons hanged by the very gallows intended for Queen Esthers people. Mordecai takes Haman's place as the kings prime minister. The king decrees that he can not rescind his original order to kill all the Hebrew so he issues another order allowing the Hebrew people to kill their enemies, which they do.

The zionist moral of the story is that if Jews of today want to survive, they better find infiltrators into the corridors of power. There 'Esthers' today are financed politicians mostly zionist in ideology, and their Mordecai is the news media and groups like Aipac.

The purpose of the Book of Esther is to show that the only way to prevent Judeocide is to conspire within the halls of power as an ethnically pure unit, with the ability to take over kingdoms, in their ability to save themselves. It is a way to implement the Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder in a people that can be used to motivate them towards a common agenda of dissimilation.

Today this has manifested itself into the holocaust religion where zionism is the new god, zionism being an ethnically pure Israel as the only safe place for Jews, where only Jews can save the Jews, and fear of all others is the glue that holds this new political religion together. Eventually a New World Order with a zionist elite is the end game for zionists.

So it is only natural that this new holocaust religion will need to have a new Haman in the form of Ahmadinejad now that Saddam is gone. This motives the deep ingrained fear of judeocide facilitating the role playing required to acquire power that can be used to forward an agenda.

In Israel the zionist political agenda planners will take full advantage of the off limits to criticism of the holocaust religion to stir more fear of the other in promotion of their latest war that serves their interests. The wholly owned politicians in North America will play their role of Esther with the AIPAC and zionist commentators facilitating their progress as the Mordecai. King George will want to keep his mistress happy.

When you have a power arrangement like that negotiations are out of the question, as it reduces fear and thus your power base. The only option for them is antagonism (Palestine, Lebanon, Iran) in order to stoke the fear that promotes the agenda.

Mainstream media in this way are a form of treason on all those who believe in true democracy and a world without needless violence. MSM is acting as the gatekeeper enablers of a diseased mindset that is willing to risk destroying the world to save it in there image. IMO 9/11 and the Iraq war are the latest disasters that went unaccountable by MSM and are a direct result of this problem, to say nothing of their multinational globalization big banker agenda.

Rodney can push anybody's button. It appears he pushed Chadermando's, and I am sure many others today.

I read the editorial on the net. I think it is a masterful piece of journalism and it took guts for the Citizen to print it.

Why do I think it took guts? In my mind it tooks guts very much because people may not read it through to the finish and will be left with the wrong impression.

In a way, it also took guts because plain and simply exposed some of the thinking of the extremists in our society. When I was reading the initial paragraph it reminded me of a few of the posters on this site. Those who believe that way are out there and they are out there on both sides of the fence. That is the very danger we are still in after the iron curtain came down.

So, the message sent is quite the opposite of what one thinks at the outset the editorial is attempting to say. It will be interesting to see how much of a conversation piece this editorial will be in the community today and even tomorrow.

Sure he covers his behind with a bunch of disclaimers after spouting off what he really thinks. The purpose of his article is to float some lies and then cover himself in a white sheet. He does this to plant falsehoods in the debate, incite further hatreds, and generally rally the public opinion for a war in a round about way. He plants fear in the mind and offers solutions to those fears.

Any editorial that advocates pushing the button for a nuclear war even if in jest is not an editorial that should be printed much less written IMO. If I was an advertiser I would not support this kind of irresponsibility with my advertising dollars. If I was a reader I would find other stuff to subscribe to.

For example it is proven fact that Iran has never advocated the destruction of Israel, and yet the MSM continue to take the zionist line that Iran has infact said this. What Ahmadinejad did say was that zionism should be eliminated, with his description of ‘zionism’ as an ‘ethnocentric political movement’ that ‘advocates ethnic cleansing for an ethnically pure Israel’. He further clarified his remarks at the time by saying he does not consider Jews as the enemy, but rather the zionist movement as the enemy of Israel. The holocaust religion will have you believe that this means an apocalyptic genocide of the state of Israel. In fact what it really means is Iran does not support the two-state solution of ethnic cleansing and apartheid, but rather supports a one-state solution where Jews and Arabs live side by side as equals within the one state called Palistine.

The lie of this position is supported by MSM through editorials like Rodney Venis 'Push the Button' article today. It is designed to protect the two state apartheid of Israel and further its justification by inciting hatred of another people and nation for the benefit of propaganda and eventually to justify a threat of nuclear war if need be to eliminate all opposition to the Israeli two-state apartheid agenda.

That was the whole intent of the article. Not to weigh pro's and con's of war, or to highlight a genuine threat to our way of life here in Canada. But to lay the ground work to justify tomorrows genocide and make out all those who oppose tomorrows genocide as a bunch of extremists.

If it was really about Iran and its nuclear weapons, than I ask you this. Why is it ok and we support the Taliban and AQ having as many as 50 nuclear weapons through their Pakistani ISI, when these are the people who supposedly used box cutters to carry out 9/11? The facts make hypocrites out of them all.

All in fun and games and a real cheer article to be sure.

Give it a break Chandermando your going to wear out your fingers and your brain.

Rodney Venis opinions on world affairs while interesting will be in the bottom of many bird cages and wrapped around a lot of potatoe peelings by to-morrow. The article hardly justifies the responses to it. I read it as **filler** for a small town newspaper.

Iran is no more of a threat to the USA than Irag, China, Russia, Pakistan, India, Isreal,Germany, Japan, or any other nation.

To suggest that Iran would build a bomb and fire it at the Americans, or drop it on some Country in the Middle East is ludicrous. The day after, Iran would no longer exist as a country. Look what happened to Japan during the second world war, and they didnt have the bomb.

Irag has 15 Billion barrels of oil. Iran has a similar amount. The Iranian Oil used be controlled by British and American Interests before the Iranians got rid of the Shah of Iran and ran them out. Dont for one minute think that American/British interests have forgotten.

Do some reading of the History of Iran and the American/British involvment in their affairs for the last 40 years and you may be able to get a different perspective.



Look at Cuba. 40 years later and the Americans have still not forgiven them, or tried to trade with them. In fact they have consistanly hoped that they would all starve to death. In the meantime they have become buddies with their enemies ie;
(1) Germany (2) Japan (3) Russia (4) China (5) Vietnam, but still hate Cuba, and want us to beleive that Iran or Irag is a big threat.
Pakistan is run by a Dictator (Mushareef) and he has the Atomic Bomb, he is apparently helping the Taliban, and Al Queida. How come we are not afraid of him.

We are not afraid of him, because the propaganda machine has not been cut loose to convince us he in a **devil**. This wont happen unless the American want it to happen.

Look for an area of conflict and you will find oil. All the rest is propaganda.

The facts are that Stephen Harper and the conservatives have aligned Canadian foreign policy with one of ethnically pure states in the Middle East in all opposition to Canada’s traditional role of multicultural harmony.

That is why the funds were cut to the Palestinians for refusing to accept the 2-state solution, when Hamas will only settle for a single state multicultural solution of citizen equality.

That is why Canada backed the attacks on Lebanon last summer designed to fracture that country into ethnically pure areas that can be more easily managed by out side powers. They want a Sunni state, an Alawi state, a Christian state, and a Druze state for Lebanon.

That is why Canada is backing Israeli policy to divide Iraq into three ethnically pure states with the northern Kurds aligned and armed by Israel as a strategic base of operations throughout the Middle East. A Kurdish state in which to base missiles on so as to threaten Iran and eventually Turkey a NATO ally.

The idea is to make Israel strong by dividing all its neighbours into small ethnically pure confessional states.

Seymour Hersh recently wrote an excellent article detailing how this is being done with covert funding from the Bush administration, which is now funding AQ groups in Lebanon and Iraq to turn them on the Shiites and Iran for the benefit of the Saudi Arabia and Israeli alliance. The same AQ supposedly responsible for 9/11.

It’s a recipe for disaster and all stems from the holier than thou two-state solution of apartheid for Israel and its related foreign policies that are at complete odds with Canadian values. A war Canadians will be asked to clean up after in the near future. You will not read about this in MSM because they are all owned or controlled by zionist sympathizers.

Palopu sure oil plays a large role in this, but the facts remain that Iran is one of the few countries that strongly opposes the Israeli apartheid and as such is a threat to the New World Order. That is the number one reason for the war mongering today.

Iran was right to do what they did in ejecting the Americans after the meddling the CIA did in their countries political institutions for the benefit of the multinational oil companies, and I'm sure the oil companies hold a grudge and want revenge in time. I do not think that is what is at play here though.

You are right however about Mushareef, the Taliban, AQ, and the bomb. If Mushareef ever loses power it will be because AQ and the Taliban have taken power from him and will then own the bomb to use in terror around the globe. The Taliban already control the Northwest Frontier province of Pakistan where just last week they kicked the last of the Pakistani government out of that area and now control all the towns including Peshawar the provincial capital. The spring offensive is on, but not in Afghanistan. The MSM will not report this because it does not fit in with their agenda.

BTW March 27th is the day American dollar transactions will be officially illegal in Iran. Meaning no oil for American dollars. Its causing havok in the markets and will likely cement the need to go to war in the eyes of the Bush admin. Same thing happened when Saddam tried to outlaw the American dollar.

"ethnically pure states in the Middle East"

Israel is hardly ethnically pure. They may be relatively religious "pure" with over 80% being of the Jewish faith. Jewish is, however, not a race.

Of those who are "Jewish" in Israel, about 21% were born there, 32% are European/American born, 15% African and 12% Asian. That is hardly racially or entically pure. I would call that multicultural.

The hebrew people are, however, Semites, the same as Arabs. So, if one is an anti-semite, they are, strictly speaking against Hebrew and Arabs.

I think that the notion that Jews were a race rather than a religious group came from the Nazi era.

Race is a genetic classification; one is born into a race and is of a certain race or mixed race because of one's ancestors. One can covert into a religion, but one cannot change one's race.

Owl, I haven't said Jews are a single race. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. Obviously Poland, and Russia, Morocco, Iraq, and Romania are not all the same race. I am of the belief that it is a persons belief system that defines who they are and not where their genes came from. Your belief system is the genesis of your ethnicity and not your genes.

Even Canadian parliament ruled this last year that a Quebec person can be a nationality with out saying they had to pass this blood line test though. A claimed nationality is in a way an ethnicity without having to revert to blood tests and all this kind of stuff Owl is talking about.

The nazi's believed that your genes were what defined who you were, as pointed out by Owl. The zionist believe it is your ideology first and then your genes that defines who you are; and in the zionist case specifically they believed it was whether or not you were with them for an Israeli state, or against them for integration. Those who were for the Israeli state would be called zionists. Both nazi's and zionists believed they were ethnocentrically superior as they defined it. Both even collaborated with one another towards their mutual end goals.

The holocaust religion is the belief that ‘never again’ meaning God did not come to help Jews (to say nothing of the other countless millions killed in WW2 death camps), therefore he does not exist, therefore only a zionist can save a zionist, therefore to prevent a future genocide against your people you must collaborate with the zionist hierarchy towards their leadership goals. Its all about fear driven motivation by corrupt people with no value for other peoples lives. The zionist bankers could care less about the Jewish people or their religion, and only use them as a vessel to get them in the game for a New World Order with their position secured at the table. You could go so far as to call it ethnocentric-patsyism.

Today zionists will define the hierarchy within their own society in Israel based on their genes. Those of European background run the place; others like the North African ones get used as guinea pigs in medical experiments; still others who do not share their ideology are denied citizenship.

Type into Google search
'The Ringworm Children'
and read a little bit before telling me that zionists don't use genes based race background to determine who is subjected to radiation experiments for hire. Some of the most hideous things a government could ever do to a people, and supposedly the Sephardic youths were Jewish, they just were not of the right genes Jewish.

The film made it perfectly plain that this operation was no accident. The dangers of x-rays had been known for over forty years. We read the official guidelines for x-ray treatment in 1952. The maximum dose to be given a child in Israel was .5 rad. There was no mistake made. The children were deliberately poisoned.

David Deri, makes the point that only Sephardi children received the x-rays.

"I was in class and the men came to take us on a tour. They asked our names. The Ashkenazi children were told to return to their seats. The dark children were put on the bus."

The film presents a historian who first gives a potted history of the eugenics movement. In a later sound bite, he declares that the ringworm operation was a eugenics program aimed at weeding out the perceived weak strains of society. The film now quotes two noted anti-Sephardi racist Jewish leaders, Nahum Goldmann and Levi Eshkol.
