Heather Mills is telling the Truth


What Heather Mills is saying about the English media is absolutely correct and raises issues of great importance. In a previous item I have put forward the view that the media is a new class and that its behaviour is connected with the phenomenon of alienation that I have written about so often. The media are accusing her of being deranged and narcissistic when in fact it is they who are deranged and in the process of creating a culture-wide atmosphere of self-absorption , self-indulgence and narcissism. One only has to listen to the output of BBC Radio 2 of a morning to realise that an incredible process of cliquey-ness, self-reference and narcissism of a very unhealthy kind is going on. Apart from self-absorption other aspects of narcissism include a dehumanisation which is attested by the callous treatment we have seen over recent years of Princess Diana, Joanne Lees, The McCanns and Heather Mills herself. On a technical level this is a form of alienation, but it is not my intention to elucidate that further at the moment. Hegel, the great mystical German philosopher, in his book “ The Phenomenology of Mind” wrote about “a Spiritual Reign of Terror”. Some people thought this applied to the French Revolution, but my interpretation is that this reign of terror is under way at this very moment. How else can one describe the treatment meted out to the people mentioned above as anything but terrorisation. Even Tony Blair shortly before he resigned described the British media as “feral”. This process seems to be happening in Anglo-Saxon countries, where there are no privacy laws. To ask the media to exercise responsible journalism is like asking Genghis Khan to exercise restraint and refrain from conquering the world. Another very alarming aspect of this process of growing narcissism is the withdrawal from reality and the truth, into a world of double-talking, self-deception, deceit, manipulation. It is not Heather Mills who is hysterical but the concerted media reaction to the true things that she has said. This story will run and run.

You may have seen Patrick West's article on Ms. Mills' complaints. [link] The broadcasting media certainly have changed human behavior itself in regards to announcing oneself to the world. Until the 1950s, people were shy, embarrassed, and often tongue-tied when a "personality" would shove a microphone in one's face. Now people grab the thing eagerly...and see themselves in their own series. Hello, You Tube!

I mean whoop, whoop! Any one with half a brain knows just who is behind "the media!" Or, I should say: "The MASS Media." Psychological warfare, propaganda, George Orwell, MI5/6, SIS, a whole carnival of NWO types. Who 'owns' BBC2? BBC?

Here, in the USA (Owned by the Crown) we find the media to be nothing but a joke. Joe six pack might, I say 'might,' believe what spews forth from the telly, radio, mass market newspapers, etc., but no true, died in the wool, thinker would ever presume there to be anything but info-tainment in all the rags of whatever ilk they be.

CIA and other infotel orgs love to use mass media for analysis and collate tons of reams of data, data, and more data...with which to do their analyses )It's then labelled "TOP SECRET," and "FYEO!".) A real gas!

Whole departments are set up just to collate the baloney in newspapers world round not to mention sat feeds, television, etc., ad nauseum. Stick with chess, my man, in the long run much healthier unless your a wain like Kasparov.

Hey, but I missed saying: Welcome, dear John, looks like it's gonna be fun having you around. ;)

"And yet: later on Mills was off to ITV’s This Morning, where the presenter Fern Britton made the rather sensible point that maybe she should just ignore bad coverage, and that being in the public sphere this is something often you just have to put up with. ‘I can’t forget it’, Mills protested. ‘They’re not responsible for nine countries. Fern, come off it’, explained Heather, in a display of delusional megalomania not seen since David Icke claimed to be a Godhead." - from jazzos' link.

"Fern Britton is one of Britain's best-loved presenters on television today, currently on our screens as the regular presenter on ITV's flagship daytime show ‘This Morning'. Probably best well known for her role as the Presenter of BBC2's top rated and award winning Ready Steady Cook Fern presented more than 1,000 shows over four years and created a cult following amongst the accumulative..."

"Fern attended Dr Challoner's High School, Little Chalfont. "

"Fern appears on the British adverts for Ryvita Minis."

"Fern posed semi-nude in 2002."

"Fern was married previously to Clive Jones; they divorced in 2000."

"Fern: I would rather be big and happy than on a diet and miserable."

Clive said?

PS on that: Check out the Sci Fi summary at the above link. Play more chess. Queens rook takes your bloody knight! So there! ;)
