Elijah Magnier On Fake News And Fake Analysts
While I am still knocked out somewhat by a nasty influenza let me recommend Elijah Magnier's most recent piece on the "fake news" and "fake analyst" media:
Syria and Iraq caught between the “new analysts’ and the politicised media
Some excerpts:
The wars in Syria and Iraq celebrated the unfortunate end of the “free and independent press” and the rise of the “neo-analysts”. They sit in far-off lands, with no ground knowledge of the war, collecting information and analysing the colourful bin of social networking sites.
They have even the temerity to believe they can dictate to the US administration what measures should be taken, who to support and, as if they had mastered the “art of war”, they even push for a nuclear war with Russia.
On Syria:
According to the US State Department and to the western press, over 90 hospitals were totally destroyed in eastern Aleppo in the last months at the rate of almost one destroyed hospital per day. And every day we hear “the last hospital has been totally destroyed”. The only problem with this figure is the statistic released by the Syrian Ministry of Health stating that “on the entire Syrian territory, there are only 88 hospitals”.
…
[W]hen jihadists and rebels start a large scale attack against Syrian Army forces and their allies, the media stand by, waiting for results. If the regime begins a military operation hospitals are destroyed and civilians are killed in the first hour of the battle. Rarely do militants die in mainstream media.
On Iraq:
“Neo-analysts” and journalists focus also on the role of the “Popular Mobilisation Units” (PMU) by giving them different titles, like the “Shiite crowd”, “sectarian crowd” and “Militia crowd” as if its members came from another world. There are more than 60% of Shiites in Iraq and the rest are Sunnis, secular Kurds, Assyrians, Shabak, Sabea and other minorities. From these same Iraqis are formed the Iraqi army units, counter-terrorism, intelligence, special forces, federal police forces, tribes, and Peshmergan as well as the PMU, which has become an integral part of the security apparatus under the leadership of the Commander in Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, the Prime Minister.
Those writing about Iraq disregard the fact that the US Army, before and during its invasion to Iraq, committed the most abominable atrocities in that country, starting with the embargo on Iraq to massacres, torture, rape and human rights abuses during the occupation of the country.
On the media:
The notion of a “free unbiased press” is finished and has been replaced by the will of politicians: investigate journalism was replaced by information or disinformation from social media.
It was obvious during the US presidential campaign that the “free press” was sharing “statistics” confirming the absence of any prospect of success of Donald Trump with Hillary Clinton as a winner by 98 to 99%. This indicates that the press was following wishful thinking rather than confirming data and facts, just as they have been doing most of the time with the war in Syria and Iraq.
Elijah has been working as a newspaper journalist for some 30 years. He was war correspondent in the Yugoslavia wars, in Lebanon, in Iraq during the U.S. invasion and in Syria. The above is based on factual knowledge and experience, not on political agendas or paid "analyst" propaganda. One hopes that younger journalists will learn from it.
Imho many journalists have simply lost any idea or will to be ‘journalists.’ They consider their jobs to be necessary money-makers. The Big Boss, aka Ed-in-Chief, lays out the agenda, distributes tasks in a micro-managing style (all to be time-logged on computer), and censors or re-arranges.
/—> From France, Switz, the ground, no experience of the US./
They see themselves as minions, though as they don’t like to admit that, so look for, and find, confirmation bias, self-approval justifications, and so on. They are scribes, like the court secretary who types up Judge’s rulings while she may not personally agree with the rulings, they are part of a system that she serves, and adheres to.
As earnings by MSM media have been plumetting and are of prime, perhaps unique, importance, any ‘scandal’, click-bait, exaggeration or outragenousness is lucrative, anybody who goes there is rewarded, maybe only in the long run, still, the alarmists may do better than others. An internal competition and ‘favoritism’ sets in, which is often influenced by the owners, down to the temp. time camera-man, the secretary, etc. A gossipy, in-groupy, drug drink-n-sex-oriented ambiance grips, because, hey!, what else.
Those willing to cross dodgy bridges are kept on, the good guys who have other career oppos leave in disgust, or are fired.
These ‘journos’ (anyone working for an MSM outlet) are also kept very busy with BS / unimportant tasks and are over-loaded with assignments that they have great trouble fulfilling. So copy paste it is, shoddy prose it is, camera footage of unknown place, confusion.
In one way, these are symptoms of an underground rebellion.… “Serve up the sh•t what do I care”…(quote from one woman i know), typical of low on the pole men/women who are ambitious, or trapped, while valiantly hanging on to the edges of the PTB by their fingernails.

I love it when people talk dirt bacteria. Quick sidenote… Was gardening in the tropics with a wide-open laceration on my finger, just lazy or else inured to pain, and didn’t notice it was getting packed with dirt right to the quick. I’d been grinding away with that open cut in that tropical dirt for a couple hours.
At first I kind of freaked, then had this plan I’ve been going on, so tried it. Flushed the dirt, soaped and scrubbed, like you would, then packed the wound with Korean sea salt. That’s the trick. The sea salt lyses the bacterial membranes and they instantly die. It also sucks moisture (and dead bacteria) out of the wound like a poultice. The wound dried nicely and sucked tight overnight. Next day I brushed the salt off, and Povodine’d it, with some powdered tumeric. The tumeric and Povodine makes a nice tight dry scab. No inflammation, no soreness, nothing!
Then you have to read TRD’s comments above about GMO BT-processed foods and HFCS sodas. They really are toxic, and if BT can cross with anthrax, and FDA allows a certain percentage of sawdust, cardboard, insect parts, rotten food, floor sweeps and a measure of ergot and aflatoxin, then what does ‘public health’ even mean?
Back a few years I followed an email exchange between the pet food manufacturers and the FDA, responding to an unusually wet moldy harvest, where the FDA allowed three times higher levels of corn (maize) mold to be processed into denatured and poisoned corn by-products, supposed to be kept apart for livestock only, not pets or humans, but all manufactured by the same food companies. No tracking.
And here’s where it really gets all pizza-gated. OK, so we know processed food is literally killing us by degrees, we know FDA is in the bag to Big Ag / Big Pharma, now here comes Obama with government funded medical care. Do you see the issue?
If Big Ag / Big Pharma is freed to kill us all by degree, that’s self-limiting. Families with an average savings of $2500 can’t afford to save their sickened kid or sickened elder. Think from a public health aspect. If Big Ag / Big Pharma is the vector, but the victim dies before it can spread, the disease self-limits.
But when ObamaCare offers taxpayer-funded medical care (sic), now you have an avenue for a pandemic. Big Ag / Big Pharma is freed to kill everyone by degree, BT-gene segments become part of people’s own genomes when ingested, they’re eating poison, they’re getting sick and kept alive on MIC Medical or MIC Hospice for treatment, funded by the government (taxed from us), then the cycle perpetuates.
This is the patent for a perpetual disease-for-profit money machine.
Before, only people who ate the processed food were victims, their families went broke, the end, even with ‘organic’ now a meaningless phrase, and food labeling eliminated. But ObamaCare comes along, bleeding out the entire Nation to extend the lives of Big Ag / Big Pharma’s victims, so they can infect others with flu and viruses, plus now they can literally bring down the entire Nation in credit-debt.
It’s chilling when you look at public Healthcare (sic) from the viewpoint of the metastasis of Defense (sicker). Once you link any Federal funding to any Death culture, it begins to metastasize and will not just kill those that it touches, but will kill the entire organism, oddly, in much the same was BT-toxin (and the others) slowly kills the organism that ingests it, then flu virus therefrom causes the pandemic death of millions, like the Spanish flu among the WW1 starvation-weakened victims.
The propylaxis remains eat good food, get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, avoid stress, …binge drinking, pot heads and crack smokers. But they’re still going to get everyone, eventually, in credit-debt, at $3,400,000,000,000 a year on those twin goat horns of MIC Healthcare (sic) and MIC Defense (sicker).
What would The Donald do?
