The BBC and an angry NotaSheep

Various BBC propaganda has got to me over the last few days. The "even-handed" way they report Gordon Brown's lies, the ceaseless pro-Labour views expressed without serious challenge, the way any pro-Conservative view is attacked or suppressed, the way Conservatives are being denied airtime, the way David Cameron's speeches are barely reported whilst Gordon Brown's are broadcast live and in full.

Then I read Biased-BBC's piece on the King Arthur programme and it reinforced the thought that I have had for quite some time that to the BBC mind anything that ties Britain, especially England, to its past must be discredited. The public must see that their traditions and value systems are defunct; only then will the public truly accept the multi-cultural Eurabian future that "they" have decided is our destiny.

Then there was the Today piece on Amnesty International declaring Israel to have committed "WAR CRIMES" as if they are unbiased observers and deciders of such matters. This was interesting for the way that it mentioned in passing that Hamas had also been declared "guilty of war crimes" and then went on to concentrate on EVIL ISRAEL. I am very close to the edge with the BBC today and may have to take a day off of posting.

Amnesty International

Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights to be respected and protected.

Amnesty International's vision is for every person to enjoy all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards, you can read all about Amnesty International's role here.

Sounds wonderful doesn't it? After all I am sure that they campaign fairly against injustice everywhere. Well unfortunately they don't. Take a look at this report and see what you think.

A forgotten country

Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a country of which little is heard. I read something yesterday that made me want to remind people of what has been going on in that country.

Democracy ended in Burma in 1962 when General Ne Win led a military coup d'état. The pro-democracy 8888 uprising of 1988 and further protests in 1989 lead to the militry government granting elections that took place in 1990. The NLD, the party of Aung San Suu Kyi, won 392 out of a total 489 seats, but the election results were annulled by the military government, which refused to step down. Instead Aung San Suu Kyi was put under house arrest where she has remained for most of the time since then. She was prevented from travelling to England to be with her dieing husband and he was prevented from travelloing to Myanmar to be with her. The Myanmar regime has not improved its activities and you can read the latest Amnesty International report for more information.

The Myanmar regime has been subject to economic sanctions imposed by the USA and Europe for some time now. These sanctions are of little use as China and Russia are providing Myanmar with weapons, and investment. The Chinese are investing in oil pipelines and ports so as to make Myanmar a route for oil from the Middle East to get to China. Meanwhile the Russians have agreed to provide a nucleur research reactor. Just what the world needs, another rogue state with nucleur technology.

I don't expect Amnesty International or the MSM to complain too much about Myanmar, where's the mileage when there are much more importnat countries to target. After all in Myanmar opposition protestors may be arrested, tortured and even die in prison - maybe best to investigate more open countries.
