Sunday Paper Review: 31st October 2010

Did you put your clocks back? Our blog's name is great for getting traffic twice a year, it seems...

Anyway, it's Hallowe'en. But don't worry. Nothing more scary here than the usual horror movie served up by the corporate media to make you all worry yourselves into serfdom.

The Sunday Telegraph runs big on the incredible demonic printer cartridge story. We reckon we've worked out how these corporate media scare stories designed to control-the-masses are written now. Check these phrases out - all in the exact order that they appear in the main story regarding how we're supposedly facing the bogeyman apocalypse:

"May have been", "he believed", "could not be ruled out", "officials believe", "believed to be", "fears of more plots", "suggestions", "no early evidence", "we cannot rule that out", "had the planes", "hundreds could have been killed", "suspicion fell", "claimed that the plot", "believed to be similar", "thought to have designed", "also believed to", "the target may have been", "had it detonated", "the aircraft could have been", "we do not believe", "we have no information", "was thought to be", "most probable", "probably a more likely", "can be used", "can be used", "speculation grew".

They don't seem very certain or knowledgeable about anything, do they? Don't they have any solid facts to try and scare us into submission with?

Come back and worry me again when you have some demonstrable facts that can be placed in front of a judge and jury; not speculation which a huge proportion of the British public already say they think sounds like a dodgy, false flag operation.

Our public servants - who think they're our masters - have cried wolf far too many times and now too many of us simply do not believe them.

Which means our spooky people, when they are genuine, must work twice as hard - because if anything dodgy happens, there are a large number of us who will probably look to hold powerful British people in posh suits and posh offices responsible - not some overhyped, boz-eyed, flea-ridden religious nutcases living in a cave in the third world.

That trust between the people and the State is at such a low-ebb that we now believe - in large numbers - that false flag events are being staged against us by our own is something that the powers that be need to examine for themselves. They could start by examining the relentless attacks on our liberties and freedoms which were committed under New Labour.

Then there's Tony Blair and his phony war. So, what do we find in the Independent on Sunday?

They tell us that: "The axis of terror got bigger yesterday."

Not only that, but "Yemen has become the new Afghanistan."

Anyone for a jolly good war?

Not only that, but with the credibility of the world being terrorised by the ghost of Satsuma Bin Liner now being at full stretch, we also get a new bogeyman.

They report: "There comes to prominence one Yemeni who – in the eyes of America and some leading security specialists – is on a par with Osama bin Laden: Anwar al-Awlaki."

Now, was he the one who went to lunch at the Pentagon after the 9/11 attacks?

Oh yes, he was. One and the same.

Now, this blog - because we're patriotic, pro-liberty, pro-constitution, anti-globalist - might be categorised by some as "right wing".

In wearing that tag, we don't rush to blame "Islamist extremists" for all the ills of the world. Far from it.

Yet it is no surprise that - after being force fed a diet of news about "Islamist extremists" who are coming to get you - people adopt certain positions.

So, while The Observer is also getting it's knickers in a twist about ink cartridges, it also has an interesting story from Germany.

It appears that there is a movement in the beautiful, friendly city of Cologne where people are uniting to oppose the building of a mosque. The report goes on to highlight anti-immigrant sentiments in Germany and Austria.

While we don't very much support groups like the BNP and the English Defence League, it seems that they are reflecting opinions prevalent elsewhere on the European continent.

Bizarrely, The Observer makes time to put the phrase "neo-Nazism" into their report.

But weren't the Nazi's a socialist party? Or was the name "National Socialist German Workers Party" something I just imagined reading?

Back to Britain, and it seems the Sunday Express haven't quite finished with David Cameron, the not-so-closet-Europhile, just yet. Good for them.

They report how: "Cameron has now backed plans to sneak changes into the Lisbon Treaty without triggering referendums across Europe."

Later, the report notes that: "Leaders are petrified that any change to the EU treaties would spark referendums in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands."

Of course. We, the people must be trampled over. Don't let us give our consent to living under a continent wide dictatorship now, will you?

The newspaper quotes UKIP's Nigel Farage as saying of the latest EU plans: "It is one of the most massive power grabs they have ever attempted but because it is so ­devilishly complicated this might just sneak through by default. But make no mistake, these are draconian powers and without a shadow of a doubt this should trigger a referendum."

On a lighter note - depending on your view - the Mail on Sunday reports that "Nick Clegg was involved in a furious confrontation with a senior Liberal Democrat MP so heated that it left a Commons door hanging off its hinges."

The MP in question was, the report says, Bob Russell who was meeting Clegg to discuss proposed cuts to housing benefit.

We'd normally be very upset at damage to such a beautiful public building as the House of Commons.

But if it was in the name of a democratically elected MP telling Nick Clegg a few honest opinions, then we'll let it pass.

Wonder which one of them will settle the repair bill?

And finally... The People reveals how Alan Sugar described the ConDem coalition as: "a government that has found themselves as Leyton Orient in the Champions League."

Very witty... but he could probably have been more topical had he used a combination of "Liverpool" and "no better than Conference North players".

Apologies, Liverpool fans. It's not your fault. And my team hasn't won a thing in thirty years, so what do I know about football?
