Stacy Summary: Part of my data collection / experiment started two weeks ago keeping track of how the news is presented by the BBC and other media outlets – though mostly BBC who insist at every turn that they are uniquely unbiased. Notice that there is no mention of the protests and subsequent clashes in Italy yesterday. Nor, in fact, did any Western media outlet other than Associated Press. AFP, Aljazeera and PressTV covered the story. Check it out on google. BBC did cover possible Abba reunion in September.
Another story the BBC did not report on was the Honduran airport over run by protesters demanding the return of their elected president. Interestingly, this Honduran airport story was covered by the MSM in the US, but not by the Social Media Networks like Twitter where only the intelligence services have the fire power to create the required twam.

Something is very fishy with all of this programmed trading.

Fat Freddy?????
I’ll have you know, I put away the beer and bought George Foreman’s Grill and started doing pull-ups and stuff like Robert D. in Taxi Driver… “You talkin’ to me?”
I lost almost all of my beer fat (30#’s!) and can sit on a chair without breaking it most of the time!
Seven more pounds and I can have a beer again…
Seven more…
Seven…

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
that last 7 is probably going to be the hardest for you to lose though…
have you thought about trying Meth or Crack?
It seems to work wonders for the Downtown Denizens I see…
@Frances Snoot
the Ass-Munching Turd-Tokers are the MSM (main-stream media)
I stole that line from “the Stimulator”
(see the previous video on this website)
I could never do a “show” since I am little more than a
Straitjacketed Andy Rooney with Tourette’s and no journalistic sense whatsoever
It can’t work…
But I am happy that I haven’t been banned from this site (yet)
I guess that is a testament to Max ‘n Stacy’s belief in Freedom of Speech…
Now PHIL or Liverpool Mike… those guys would make good reporters/hosts on a show…
they got their fingers on the underground pulse

The Failure of the Keynesian State (Mises Circle, Houston, sponsored by Jeremy Davis)
January 23, 2010
Houston, Texas, Hilton Houston Post Oak
The Failure of the Keynesian State, sponsored by Jeremy S. Davis.
REGISTER NOW
The New Deal began before John Maynard Keynes propagated his theories. But the state was pleased to have a scientific gloss for its looting, inflating, and controlling ways. The question then and the question now is: does this approach actually stimulate the economy. The Great Depression lasted long past the New Deal. In Japan, the Keynesian way has turned a marvelously productive economy into a stagnant and seemingly permanent mess. What will the same path mean for the U.S.?
Our speakers will address the failures of macroeconomic planning then and now, and urge another path called free enterprise, words that Obama seems to have difficultly uttering to say nothing of practicing.
Speakers: Doug French, Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, Tom Woods

Good education and cheap at the price … hope Obama is there !

Stacy, thx for the update: “UPDATE:
Watch the footage of the president arriving back to Honduras and the tens of thousands of Hondurans there to greet him”
From most of the responses on this thread it seems most Americans are too self-absorbed to notice. Too involved in a stream of twitter-conciousness.
It’s also strange in an era of 24/7 news, much of it dependent on pictures, no english language news network is providing equivalent live coverage to that by Telesur.
…apart from Al Jazeera who are showing Telesur’s pictures.
CNN have got there ‘Honduras in Crisis’ breaking news together. Telesur pictures too.
@harry_w – yes, but they are propaganda aren’t they
@all – westerners only care about the stories that the intelligence services twam them with
hi Stacy,
Al Jazeera reported their camera crew witnessed a child (10yo) shot, now report emergency services in Honduras confirm he’s died.
Al Jazeera’s crew are in the thick of it protestors sheltering from tear gas.
CNN are yapping to one reporter and a static shot of a large crowd beside a fence.
@harry_w – they said this on air?
Yes, Al Jazeera English, reported their camera crew witness police or army shooting into crowds, and one child (aged 10 to 12) hit. They were showing footage from that crew of the aftermath, people sheltering behind a wall, throwing stones, and coughing from tear gas.
Their latest report said Honduran emergency services had confirmed the child has died.
Al Jaz now talking to the reporter who witnessed it. Silvio Carillo.
I think he said two children had been shot, mentioned one aged maybe 16.
Now a cameraman, Alfredo de Lara (?) Describes a calm march to airport, he went to south of airport. Calm protest, chanting. The some younger men tore down the fence, but didn’t enter the airport. Said military called up reinforcements, crowd started throwing stones. Said weapons fired in the 11 minutes of fire. Saw only one soldier level his rifle at the crowd. Saw one man around 30 shot. Was ushered to see the boys who’d had his brains blown out. His mother hysterical, crowd were screaming at him, ‘this is what the coup makers want!’
Said the crowd of protestors was mixed, men and women of all ages, people ran and just a hundred or so youths stayed throwing rocks and bottles, Saw no arms used, and nothing to justify at least one soldier firing into the crowd.
Al Jaz say Red Cross report treating up to 30 protesters.
One thing CNN’s reporter mentioned (while missing the news) was that protesters said they supported Zeleya because he had doubled the minimum wage and spent money on school books etc.
Karl, the English CNN reporter is at the gates of the terminal, he says at other side of airport protesters tried to break into the runway area, the soldiers “were outnumbered’ and had fired, mentioned tear gas. Says unconfirmed reports by witness claiming 3 dead. Say these are not confirmed “by the interim authorities”. Now CNN talking to an American think-tank expert Larry Birns (COHA)…says Zelaya was elected as a conservative, but when he joined Chavez’ trade/econ initiatives he was abandoned by the rich and middle class….says then Zelaya then instituted wage reforms etc…
@harry_w – yes, both cnn and bbc are clearly very, very unsympathetic to the peasants though the bbc is being permitted to confirm that at least one person has died
@Guiseppe:
Tourettes!! Oh my! At least you don’t come across like a schoolteacher on steriods…:)
Al Jaz now how pictures of [what I presume is] the boy’s mother, and her child being picked up off the ground and taken towards a truck.
Talking to reporter on the ground, she says the crowd cheering airplanes passing over the airport. Reporter spoke to control tower, who said he could confirm Zelaya plane had entered Honduran airspace, but radar had gone blank.
We’re all plane-spotters now. ;o)
BBC look like they’re filming from El Salvador.
vs. CNN have a reporter summarising what Zelaya has said to Telsur, interjecting his own comments.
vs. Al Jaz, who run a full translation over Zaleya’s statement and extended answers to questions put by Telesur.
He’s says not possible to land as military have blocked the runway with trucks. He will state his next actions shortly…
@Stacy:
Yes, twam stories are the shiz.
@Phil:
How hard is it for an American to learn German, scale say 1-10?
@maxkeiser.com
thanks for the updates on honduras all…….
No problem at all Mr Supergeek.
I’m surprised so few [even] here appear to notice another Latin American coup, and appear to be gripped by the monomanical politics of American grievance.
This sort of thing must be ingrained in the collective conciousness down south.

Elecciones insólitas
No está convencido.
No está para nada convencido.
Le han dado a entender que puede elegir entre una banana, un tratado de Gabriel Marcel, tres pares de calcetines de nilón, una cafetera garantida, una rubia de costumbres elásticas, o la jubilación antes de la edad reglamentaria, pero sin embargo no está convencido.
Su reticencia provoca el insomnio de algunos funcionarios, de un cura y de la policía local.
Como no está convencido, han empezado a pensar si no habría que tomar medidas para expulsarlo del país.
Se lo han dado a entender, sin violencia, amablemente.
Entonces ha dicho: “En ese caso, elijo la banana.”
Desconfían de él, es natural.
Hubiera sido mucho más tranquilizador que eligiese la cafetera, o por lo menos la rubia.
No deja de ser extraño que haya preferido la banana.
Se tiene la intención de estudiar nuevamente el caso.

I was referring to the Terra Forming not the CO2. We need more CO2, the normal state of the earth, 75% of the last million years is ice age, we don’t need that.
Canada is a fool for mowing its forest and polluting its water for some black goop, and useless US dollars.
95% of the worlds oil is controlled by sovereign entities who extract a decent tax on the non-renewable resource. Only the US and Canada let the Oil companies have a ‘free’ market. So yes Canada is a main cause of the US addiction to cheap energy and thus their jingoistic world view. Only the US can afford to be that way abetted by bombs and cheap fuel.

Brilliant…..Thanks for the link…..and words….I’m still smiling.
