New-World Censorship


In order to be free from manipulation by the dominant and highly manipulated international media one has to understand the principles of New-World censorship and how and why it works. Here are the basic principles of public opinion manipulation and control:
1) Media ownership. The same people, or groups of people, buy up media on a continental or international scale. And then, when a person wants to get his/her information from several different sources, it doesn't really matter because all the sources give the same manipulated information. And if the consumer believes that these various sources, owned by the same people, are objective, he believes the manipulated news. And brainwashing and manipulation is a success.
2) Subtle manipulation. This is the most important and the least understood principle of consumer manipulation. In order for the lies and manipulated information to be believed by the consumer, the manipulation has to be very subtle, so subtle that the reader would neither  see nor feel that the medium sides with one or another person/ party. In order to appear objective, the medium will say good and bad things both about politician A and politician B. On surface this brings about an appearance of objectivity, and because of this appearance of objectivity will the medium be believed. The trick is that the medium has to favor one politician (or opinion) over another only in a very subtle way, around 5%. If the favoritism of one viewpoint over another is more than those 5% then it will become obvious and the medium and its lies will lose their effectiveness. In order to be effective the favoritism or opposition to one or another political viewpoint or personality has to remain so subtle as not to be observable by the average information consumer. By more obvious pressure the manipulation of the consumer will lose its effectiveness because the political opinions of the media owners will become obvious.
So in order to protect yourself from large scale and sophisticated media manipulation and censorship, beware of those media who pretend to be objective. Take your time and carefully analyze their "news" to see whom they are really (and very subtly) favoring. In order to reduce this kind of wholesale public opinion manipulation, states and governments have to control the direct or indirect ownership of the media.
The direct ownership forms of media are obvious. The indirect forms of control and ownership of the media are less obvious. For example:
1) giving favorable loans or making other favorable deals with the media owners.
2) Advertising contracts with the medium etc. By observing who advertises in a medium you can also see who is, secretly, from the background, manipulating the medium and putting indirect pressure on the editor to publish news palatable to him, the advertiser.
Apart from the control of the ownership of the medium the states and governments have to control the manipulation of the media through advertising contracts. A possible solution would be the creation of an advertising pool, where the advertiser would not have a control nor say in which medium will his/her advertising appear, and thus could not control nor pressure the medium and its editors. If one wants to advertise one would have to give the advertising contract to a central advertising distribution bureau, which would appropriately distribute it among various media, irrespective of their political views.

That's why on these pages we will try to bring news from various sources, as varied and as independent sources as possible. You decide what to believe.

IF POLAR BEARS CAN SURVIVE -- WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

A new fossil find shows that Polar Bears have been around for well over 100,000 years, placing them in the Eemian Interglacial period (135 to 115k BP). During that time, temperatures were significantly warmer than at present (+5OC). And clearly they survived those temperatures. It sounds as though forecasts of their imminent extinction may be a bit premature.

Quaternary geologist Professor Dr. Olafur Ingolfsson of the University of Iceland discovered the new fossil. He says "The polar bear is basically a brown bear that decided some time ago that it would be easier to feed on seals on the ice. So long as there are seals, there are going to be polar bears. I think the threat to the polar bears is much more to do with pollution, the build up of heavy metals in the Arctic ".

Indeed despite the alarmist claims, serious studies show that the polar bear is doing rather well, with populations increasing.

WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF 'CLIMATE CHANGE'

While the rest of Europe is debating the prospects of global warming during an unseasonably mild winter, a brutal cold snap is raging across the semi-autonomous nation of Greenland.
On Disko Bay in western Greenland, where a number of prominent world leaders have visited in recent years to get a first-hand impression of climate change, temperatures have dropped so drastically that the water has frozen over for the first time in a decade.

'The ice is up to 50cm thick,' said Henrik Matthiesen, an employee at Denmark's Meteorological Institute who has also sailed the Greenlandic coastline for the Royal Arctic Line. 'We've had loads of northerly winds since Christmas which has made the area miserably cold.'

Matthiesen suggested the cold weather marked a return to the frigid temperatures common a decade ago. Temperatures plunged to -25°C earlier this month, clogging the bay with ice and making shipping impossible for small crafts, according to Anthon Frederiksen, the mayor of the town of Ilulissat, where Disko Bay is located.
'On the other hand, it's an advantage for fishermen who rely on dogsleds for transportation,' Frederiksen said. But, to be on the politically correct safe-side, the mayor cautioned against thinking that the freezing temperature indicated that global warming claims were overblown.

He noted that a nearby glacier had retracted more in the past two decades than in recorded history. 'We Greenlanders have acclimated to changing conditions over the past 1100 years,' said Frederiksen. 'Temperatures change at regular intervals.'

Although Greenland's capital, Nuuk, and much of the island saw temperatures drop below -25° C yesterday, milder temperatures appeared to be on the way in the near future.
