This week I thought I'd try something different to fill this space. I'm going to supply some words that can be found in my own particular dictionary that is in my mind currently. These words or phrases will mainly pertain to the media and how they use them so that the public will think a particular way. In other words, I will attempt to show what the meanings of their sick descriptions of various happenings and events mean in reality.
Boy, if you could follow that then you should win some sort of prize. Before I launch into that, I'm going to give you a trivia question that I just made up. I will supply the answer at the end of this blather. Also, I will try to give examples of these after giving the word or phrase.
What do Alaska, Uganda and Argentina (just to name THREE out of MANY) have in common?
The first word utilized in a wrong manner by our delightful media is “clash.” In reality the word clash means massacre. Anytime you hear about various hideous acts of inhumane treatment of others unfolding along the open-air concentration camp known as Gaza, for example, the media will utilize “clash” rather than calling it what it really is, which would be a massacre.
Here is how it's being played out in print, television and radio media and then I will give you the appropriate way in which this information should be imparted to the masses.
“Palestinians (mainly Hamas terrorists) and Israeli solders had a clash along the wall near Gaza. There were many injuries and deaths.” OK take note that the “news” does not explain just who was injured or died really but they stick to some sort of overall view that death indeed unfolded.
Now for the appropriate way to impart the actual news item. “Israeli soldiers opened fire on unarmed Palestinian citizens near the wall which helps to serve as a blockade along the so-called border with Israel. 60 Palestinians were murdered; there were NO injuries or deaths of Israeli soldiers or citizens. Thousands were injured including a Canadian doctor who happened to be aiding those who had been in the line of fire. Those who were injured or killed are not associated with Hamas, which the United States and Israel have defined as a terrorist organization. Hamas, a political party, was “founded” by Israel as an alternative to the more secular PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization).” * See articles galore online about this history which is not denied by higher ups in the Israeli government.
Isn't it nifty how certain entities can simply label others as terrorists, thereby resulting in being able to say, “terrorists” were killed?
This would be like saying “Libertarians are terrorists.” Then when a libertarian type thinker is killed, the headline could read: “One terrorist by the name of Ron Paul was gunned down today on his way to seize a cup of coffee.”
This is how the media, working hand in hand with their puppet-masters in the government, frame subjects ladies and gents. I guess I should move along to another definition at this time.
OK, the second word is “regime.” Whenever you hear something about a regime, you can be certain that the democratically elected leader of said country has decided to go against the international bankers and is distancing himself from the petrodollar. All of these so called regimes, including Iran, have had the chutzpah to NOT climb into bed with the international bankers nor will they use the dollar for trade. Do you see a pattern here? Hmm. (On a side note about Iran, they have not attacked another country in over 200 years. This whole clutching pearls over Iran is directly related to the FACT that Israel runs our foreign policy. Do not take my word for it, just check out various documents that are a part of the public record including, but not limited to: PNAC (Project for a New American Century), The Greater Israel Project and 7 Countries in 5 years, by General Wesley Clark.)
The last one is when you hear something along the lines of, “Americans must get behind restoring democracy in Country A!” What this means in reality is that Uncle Sam's puppet was NOT elected and therefore the real winner cannot be controlled by that charming uncle and his buddies. This is also true of the word “dictator.” Generally speaking those who really are in charge of things want to put in their own puppets and not let citizens of other countries decide for themselves.
Check out what happened in Iran in 1953 for more details if you so desire. I will give a short version of happenings. Person A was elected in a democratic manner. This enraged “The Cabal” as they weren't able to control things in that region. Therefore they overthrew that person and replaced him with a willing participant who would go along with the wishes of said cabal. Are you seeing this pattern?
If people still actually tune into the “news” and if they still believe that “we” only have Country B's best interest at heart, I would strongly suggest checking out other versions of the so-called official narratives.
I think listing three words from the dictionary of my mind this week will be enough. I'm almost certain I've led many readers to clutch pearls over the blunt nature of this particular piece.
On a lighter note, here is the answer to that trivia question from the beginning of this madness. They were all considered for the so called “Jewish Homeland” as proposed during the various Zionist Congresses that unfolded “back in the day(s).” Isn't that odd? Here I was TOLD over and over again that the Israelis had a legitimate hold on THAT particular land that once belonged to Palestinians in the land of Palestine. Interesting, isn't it?
