Veteran rock poet Leonard Cohen has begun a major tour with an impressive troupe of fellow musicians. He’s singing in Canada at present.
Leonard Cohen: will he end his career as a toady for Jewish supremacists?
It’s a powerful show – perhaps the finale to a lifetime of live perfomances that have held a generation spellbound. Watch the Hamilton concert on U-Tube. If, like me, you enjoy Cohen’s music, it’s nectar.
The tour moves down to the USA, crossing the Atlantic in early June for a long summer meander through Europe. The penultimate concert is scheduled for Barcelona on September 21st.
At present, Cohen’s program includes a final concert in Jerusalem on September 24th.
Don't do it Leonard
Why a self-proclaimed Buddhist would even consider performing in an Apartheid State, singing about peace and love while the local indigenous people are excluded by a monstrous concrete wall, is a question Cohen should be asked, again and again – until he drops the disgusting idea.
In New York, some spirited activists and musicians have made a start…
“Agate is believed to discern truth, accept circumstances, and is a powerful emotional healer. Legend says that Agate improves memory and concentration, increases stamina and encourages honesty.”
Agate is therefore the perfect gift for all journalists.
All the ‘authorities’ who’ve spent public (US taxpayer’s) money on a succession of absurd non-investigations into the events of September 11th 2001 manage to ‘overlook’ copious evidence that molten steel was in the in the ruins of the three fallen towers.
No-0ne has ever tried to explain how molten steel could have resulted from fuel fires caused by aeroplane collisions and falling debris.
Molten steel is far more tangible evidence of controlled demolition than any ‘smoking gun’ after a murder. IF controlled demolition occured… THEN ‘Al Qaida’ was clearly not the perpetrator of the collapse of the World Trade Centre towers on 9-11.
Put simply, we’ve been told lies, again and again and again…
The public is accustomed to polticians telling lies – and sad to say, many bureaucrats are actually paid to dissemble or remain silent. But they are usually contrained by a mass media hungry to find evidence of wrong-doing…
Surely the biggest problem here is the mass media itself?
It’s the mass media that systematically keeps this crucial information about 9-11 from the general public. It’s the mass media that the public believes is ‘bound’ to cover a story as big as this – if there’s any truth to it.
The really big story – bigger even than the collapse of three New York skyscrapers in an orchestrated inferno – is the systematic lying behaviour of the western mass media.
Again, it’s no huge surprise to learn that privately owned mass media spin and lie. One expects this – to a degree. Those journalists are paid to play their piper’s tune. For example, we’re used to biased reporting about Rupert Murdoch’s own affairs within his own media outlets and expect little else.
Two sides of the same bent penny
The real surprise – and the biggest crime of all, in my opinion – is the lying of the publicly-funded mass media. This is most serious in countries such as Britain and Australia, where the BBC and ABC respectively are viewed with awe by a large proportion of the public. Without their collusion, the greatest lies of our times could never have been sustained.
Few Britons or Australians could believe those nice folk who produce thrilling investigative journalism – on shows such as Panorama and Four Corners – would knowingly conceal from us such crucial information as evidence for molten steel at the stricken WTC on 9-11. That’s a stretch of disbelief too far for many folk.
The more sceptical members of the public also take guideance from ‘fringe commentators’, who occasionally do get a chance to express left-field views on the ABC and BBC – people like John Pilger. Why would he fail to use those opportunities to raise the alarm over something as important as this?
John Pilger: plays safe, wins awards
Why indeed, John? Et tu, Pilger?
After all, IF there was controlled demolition on 9-11, THEN this crucial fact has been covered up by the mass media – while it helped rationalize a succession of wars on an entirely bogus premise. IF molten steel was in the WTC ruins, THEN the War on Terror – as a whole – is an outright hoax.
It’s true the new Obama and Brown Administrations prefer not to use the term ‘War on Terror’ anymore – with Australia deftly falling into line, as always. But all three nations are still fighting it! And all along, the big lie – the Origin Myth of the bogus War on Terror – drags on.
People in the west have been dreadfully let down by the great majority of our political leaders, who are either too stupid or too cowardly to raise hell about this issue until we’ve stalled the Anglo-American-Zionist War Machine and forced it into reverse.
But the biggest liars of all are the ‘independent’ mass media – especially that part of the media funded directly by the public.
That’s why I believe that aware members of the public should call for the ABOLITION of organizations such as the BBC and ABC – unless and until they fulfil their responsibility to report truthfully and stop purveying obvious lies.
It’s time to put the heat on our lazy, corrupt, conformist journalists and talking heads. If this is the way they intend to carry on, the public shouldn’t have to pay for it.
