Fox News Shameful Bias Over Brexit - Promoting Project Fear


Every organization these days uses a slogan in order to portray a positive image of itself for reasons of self promotion. Sometimes that slogan belies the reality, being used only to attract low information viewers in order to increase ratings and subsequently advertising revenue.

If ever a slogan belies reality it's 'Fair and Balanced' used by Fox News. The obvious bias of Megan Kelly against presumptive Presidential nominee, Donald Trump, is a case in point.

The meltdown of 'The Five' presenter, Dana Perino, live on air when Trump overtook her beloved Jeb Bush in the primary election ratings was a wonder to behold not to mention the visceral hatred of Trump by 'Special Report with Bret Baier' contributors Steve Hayes, George Wills and Charles Krauthammer.

One instance that sticks in the mind is Baier's panel of experts listed above spending the entire final segment smearing Trump unopposed by anyone from the other side then ending with his risible slogan, "fair, balanced and unafraid". Who is he trying to con?

The most appalling case of sheer, unadulterated and sickening bias that finally laid d to rest the 'Fair and Balanced' nonsense was the last episode of 'Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. This concerned the up and coming referendum on Great Britain's membership of the European Union.

The campaign to Remain is using what is known as Project Fear, which threatens doom and disaster for Great Britain, Europe and the world should the British people choose sovereignty, freedom and democracy over becoming a region of an artificially created superstate run by unelected bureaucrats instead of elected politicians.

Bias doesn't adequately describe Maria Bartiromo inviting British unelected politician, Lord Taylor of Warwick, onto her program and giving him free reign to expiate Project Fear without anyone from the Leave camp to expose the appalling lies and deceit.

Lord Taylor shamelessly used the whole repertory of lies designed by Project Fear in an attempt to convince Fox News viewers of the need for the British people to give up their sovereignty in order to prevent a global recession of such proportions it will destroy civilization as we know it.

Highlights of his nonsense included the falsehood that Americans will leave and withdraw their investments, American banks will go elsewhere; where to he didn't say.  Destitute Greece or bankrupt France, or maybe poverty stricken Romania or Bulgaria?

Every family will lose $6500 dollars as the economy shrinks, pensions will be slashed, the beloved NHS will be destroyed, government services will be non existent blah, blah, blah.

The noble Lord obviously doesn't follow the news from the lofty confines of his ivory tower. The biggest issue in this referendum is mass immigration, especially from the undeveloped world.

Only the deliberately blind or those wanting to impose an agenda refuse to recognize that open border mass immigration has been an unmitigated disaster across Europe. It has destroyed communities and cultures across the continent and unleashed an unprecedented crime wave which includes, murder, rape, robbery and a plethora of other violent crimes that has blighted the lives of millions.

He uses the 'nation of immigrants' soundbite given to him by the Remain side propagandists to justify open border mass immigration. According to Lord Taylor and Project fear, the NHS and the nation at large cannot exist without open border mass immigration.

Since former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, opened the borders as recently as 1999 one has to wonder how on earth Great Britain survived for centuries prior to that date.

The facts are that the EU, especially the Eurozone, is a complete and utter disaster for the vast majority of the peoples of Europe, it is threat to democracy and the age old covenant of government with the consent of the governed. It is a dictatorship of technocrats and unelected bureaucrats who cannot be removed by popular vote.

Most sickening was the insinuation by Lord Taylor that the recent murder of MP Jo Cox by a man with a history of mental illness had something to do with the Brexit campaign. Maria Bartiromo brought up the issue then allowed Lord Taylor to shamelessly link the tragedy with the Brexit campaign.

Ms. Bartiromo loses all credibility as a serious journalist and presenter when one considers the fact that she doesn't research the background of her guests before giving them a platform to lie and deceive unopposed.

As mentioned, Lord Taylor is appointed, as opposed to elected, to the Upper Chamber of the British legislature. He is also a criminal, a thief, a proven liar and an ex-jailbird. (See here)

In 2010 Taylor was charged with six offences of false accounting after stealing $17,000 from the taxpayer by claiming overnight subsistence when in fact he had stayed in his own home and for claiming travel expenses for journeys he had not made.

Taylor had listed his main residence as an address in Oxford, some fifty-six miles from London, while actually occupying an apartment close to the Westminster Parliament.

He compounded his criminal behaviour by falsely claiming travel expenses for non existent travel between the two locations.

In May 2011, the noble Lord Taylor was sentenced to twelve months in one of Her Majesty's houses of detention, better known as a prison, and released after serving three months under a home detention curfew scheme.

As a result of his criminal behaviour Lord Taylor, a barrister, judge and University Chancellor, was disbarred in May 2012 and suspended from the House of Lords for twelve months.

Since Lord Taylor's appointment to the House of Lords is for life he is now firmly back on the gravy train after serving his jail sentence and suspension, claiming expenses as if nothing had happened in interim.

In conclusion it must be noted that Fox News is owned by American documented Australian and media mogul, Rupert Murdoch, a committed globalist and advocate of open border immigration as part of a borderless one world government with universal free movement of people and labour.

If Maria Bartiromo thinks it's acceptable to be so blatantly biased and give an unelected, agenda driven criminal a platform to use the lies of Project Fear unopposed in order to curry favour with Murdoch then she truly is part of the propaganda machine that masquerades as serious journalism and she should be thoroughly ashamed.

Trumped - David Cameron And His Referendum Stitch-Up Is Exposed


If anyone has any lingering doubts that the current leadership of the political class are nothing more than puppets who have been meticulously trained in the dark arts of media manipulation and propaganda, then I suggest they follow the antics of British Prime Minister, David Cameron, as he continues with his EU re-negotiation/referendum confidence trick despite the fact that he's been rumbled.

Watching the carefully choreographed campaigns of the establishment controlled political class in the United States getting derailed by Donald Trump is a wonder to behold; watching the apoplexy of the useful idiots in the government-media axis is an even bigger source of amusement.

This includes Megyn Kelly and Dana Perino of Fox News, who can hardly contain their contempt for Trump largely because of his exposure of their preferred candidate, Jeb Bush, as nothing other than a bought-and-paid-for establishment puppet.

Fair and Balanced? You report we decide? You reported and we decided - with a few exceptions Fox News is just as biased toward the political establishment as the other networks.

For a little while at least, everything was going swimmingly; the meticulously planned, pre-packaged campaign strategies of the establishment candidates were seducing the electorate into believing that the fundamentally transformed and downgraded America is still exceptional.

Issues that were degrading life for ordinary Americans, such as being beaten, raped, robbed and murdered by illegal immigrants, along with continued impoverishment by joblessness etc. were being glossed over or brushed under the carpet until the explosive arrival of Donald Trump on the scene.

It is true that the issue of illegal immigration, and the horrific crimes committed by illegals, would not have the high profile it has in the campaign were it not for Trump; neither would the issue of sealing the porous border. The establishment and their candidates were preparing the collective American psych for an amnesty for all illegals thus changing the demographic and cultural balance for ever.

In other words, making the fundamental transformation of America permanent and irreversible.

It would appear that the Trump anti-establishment phenomenon has contributed to the awakening of the British people from their media induced slumber and opened their eyes to the dishonest and treacherous machinations of their own agenda driven political class.

Thanks to Donald Trump, and to a lesser extent the anti-establishment Labour Party leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn, it is becoming almost fashionable to confront, disbelieve and ridicule the political establishment. At long last the people are beginning to accept that politicians routinely lie without conscience and deceive as a matter of course.

Apart from the increasingly popular United Kingdom Independence Party (Ukip), and their leader, Nigel Farage, the British political class is totally owned and run by the EU controlled establishment.

All the main parties are committed to the post-democratic European superstate project, an important part of which is the cultural and demographic replacement of existing societies - referred to in the USA as a 'fundamental transformation' - using open border mass immigration, particularly from the undeveloped, uncivilised third world.

To say that the British people have been lied to about the true nature of the European project would be the understatement of the century. Lied to, not just by the government of Edward Heath who signed the original surrender document, but by successive generations of all parties right up to David Cameron today.


These charlatans have been consistent with the lie that surrendering the power loaned to them after an election to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats is in the British people's best interests.
(Great article on EU deceit by Christopher Booker here)

Knowing that the replacement of the independent sovereign states of Europe with a post democratic superstate would be unacceptable to the various indigenous people, it was to be achieved "without the peoples of Europe realising what was happening, the plan was to be accomplished in successive steps. Each was to be disguised has having an economic purpose, but all, taken together, would irrevocably and irreversibly lead to federation". 

This quote has been attributed to EU founder Jean Monet and is now in dispute; what is not in dispute however is that the agenda and sentiments contained therein have been carried out to the letter; it is indisputable that the British people are still being lied to with reference to the EU by the establishment owned political class, including Prime Minister David Cameron.

David Cameron is the archetypal politician for the post democratic era; hailing from a remote elite, he was exclusively educated and he has never had a proper job in the real world inhabited by real people.

He has adopted the modus operandi of the career politician of saying one thing to one client group and something completely opposite to another, as well as lying through his back teeth to get elected. This is considered to be acceptable behavior by modern day career politicians but it will only last if people like Trump and Corbyn stay silent and allow them to get away with it.

Having complete and utter contempt for the people he is supposedly representing, along with their views, their hopes and their aspirations, is another essential virtue for career politicians of the Cameron ilk.

It is universally acceptance by all and sundry that there will be no re-negotiation of Great Britain's terms of membership nor any repatriation of already surrendered powers. That includes border control, immigration and asylum policy, control over welfare, taxation or the criminal justice system; David Cameron still insists on carrying on with the re-negotiation charade.

Cameron has re-iterated his absolute commitment to the EU superstate project and will not campaign for Great Britain's exit even if his own negotiation ends in failure. This position is not just amateurish but untenable and an indication Cameron's confidence that he can con the British people into remaining in the United States of Europe.

Cameron's referendum stitch-up is now being seen for the charade that it really is by an increasing number of cynical observers who are returning the contempt that Cameron has for them but in spades.

It has now been revealed that Cameron and his controllers are going to orchestrate a phony bust-up with the French, who will then appear to concede some reforms; these will be nothing other than meaningless window dressing designed to con the British people.

The phony bust-up will, of course, be portrayed by the bought-and-paid-for main stream media as a victory for Cameron over Great Britain's historic and traditional enemy in a cynical attempt to play on the people's sense of patriotism and garner a few more votes for his dishonest project.

With the aid of an endless supply of resources including money and manpower along with compliant, agenda driven institutions, such as the trade unions, the bailed out banks, bonus addicted industrialists, the NHS, the Quangocracy, the NGO's, the government-media complex, including the taxpayer funded BBC, the referendum campaign will be a veritable tsunami of pro-EU propaganda.

If the treatment of Nigel Farage in the last general elections is anything to go by, the 'No/Out' campaign will be demonised, belittled, insulted and smeared without mercy.

In conclusion: Increasing numbers of people have realised that Cameron's re-negotiation is a confidence trick and his phony referendum will be a stitch up from beginning to end.

With that said, the EU superstate fanatics in the British establishment have come too far along the road to lose their prize of total integration at this late stage, therefore they will pour every available resource into the re-negotiation confidence trick and the referendum stitch up in the hope that enough low information voters will remain ignorant and anti-establishment figures like Donald Trump will not emerge and wield influence to the detriment of their beloved superstate project.

Fox News - David Cameron's Supporters Club





Watching the reports by Fox News on the recent Dog and Pony Show starring President Barack Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron one would be forgiven for thinking that Cameron was the pinnacle of candour and honesty.

It is to be expected that Fox News will make political capital out of Cameron's use of words such as Islamic and terrorism in the same sentence in order to contrast their own President's steadfast refusal to do the same for reasons known only to him and his inner circle. Making political capital however should not be at the expense of the truth.

Fox News and the public at large are left to speculate as to why the President is unwilling to link the global atrocities that are carried out by Muslims in the name of Allah, as directed by their prophet, Mohammad, and as written in their holy book, the Koran, with Islam.

David Cameron is getting some very undeserved kudos for his apparent candour and his bold proposals to deal with Islamic terrorists when just a smidgen of research would expose him for the media created, machine politician that he so obviously is.

One only has to look back to last August when he was being praised by Fox News for cutting short his summer vacation after a British documented Muslim, known as Jihadi John, beheaded American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff. This was in contrast to President Obama who made a perfunctory statement before moving on to the 19th hole.

The narrative at the time was that Cameron took decisive action by convening a meeting of COBRA, the governments emergency committee that details a response to any national crisis or events abroad that may have major implications for Great Britain.

Following this meeting Cameron gave the customary press conference where he outlined the tough action he proposed to take in order to deal with British jihadis and radical Islam.

He was praised to the heavens for taking tough actions such as confiscating the passports of jihadis fighting for ISIS thus preventing their return, preventing jihadis from travelling to Iraq, Syria or Somalia, taking the preachers of hate off the streets and closing down the centres of radicalisation such as certain mosques and madrassas.

It might come as a surprise to Fox News and its contributors, but not to the British people, that Cameron is not as tough as they make him out to be because none of these actions have been carried out.

After convening a meeting with COBRA, David Cameron made these same promises in May 2013 after the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby on a London Street in broad daylight by two radicalised British documented Muslims.

At least one of these killers was in contact with Great Britain's most notorious, and obnoxious, preacher of hate, Anjem 'Andy' Choudary.

Far from being removed from the streets Choudary is a walking, talking, radicalising, no-go zone, who has been given celebrity status. He is much in demand by the worlds media including Fox News.


No mosques or madrassas have been closed down.  On the contrary, mosque building is continuing at the same or increasing rate.

No passports have been confiscated. Jihadis are still departing to the war zones and they are also legally returning ready to put their newly acquired skills to use in the name of Allah as they have so often promised to do.

The breeding grounds for radical Muslims and jihadis continues to flourish in Great Britain's mono-cultural, sharia controlled ghettos without hindrance from David Cameron's government or its agencies.

To put the record straight for benefit of the American people and Fox News in particular; with a general election due in May 2015, Cameron's spin doctor choreographed public performances are for home consumption where his hold on power has been threatened by the inexorable rise of the United Kingdom Independence Party, known as UKIP, who's spin free, politically incorrect message is resonating with the long suffering British people.

It is understandable that the American people, including Fox News and its contributors, can be seduced by Cameron's rhetoric which he delivers with clear diction and perfectly accented English but they must not let themselves be fooled entirely.

Despite his dulcet tones, he is the consummate media created machine politician who can deliver flawless choreographed, public performances as manufactured by his army of PR men, media managers and image consultants.

There is a bright spot to this story; it would appear that if Fox News was fooled by David Cameron's PR performance their Congressmen were not. One of the reasons for his visit to Washington was to lobby Congress on the President's behalf against imposing further sanctions on Iran. By all accounts they told him to p*ss off and rightly so.

Defeat Radical Islam In The Same Manner As Communism?



Far be it from me to disagree with a retired General from the US military but in my humble opinion even he can get it wrong.

General Keane, a Fox News military analyst, was giving his view on defeating radical Islam on the Happening Now news programme this morning.

Among other things, his presentation contained a historical comparison with World War ll and the more recent defeat of communism.

His assertion that Nazism and Fascism were defeated by military might is correct but his further assertion that communism was defeated by an entirely different non military approach is wrong for two reasons.

a) The massive build up of the US and NATO nuclear capabilities certainly gave the Soviet Union food for thought. It not only put them under immense economic pressure but also drove home the fact that they would lose any confrontation.

b) Looking at the world around us it is abundantly clear that communism is alive and well and far from defeated. In fact it is gaining strength and is as influential today as it was during the height of the Soviet Union.

Like radical Muslims, those dedicated to communism and its false god, Karl Marx, will never ever give up. Therefore they accepted the reality that they could never defeat the free world militarily; they simply changed their clothes and infiltrated their way into the western democracies and subverted them from within.

So successful have they been that there is a communist sympathiser in the White House who has surrounded himself with a like minded administration. State and city governments from California to Massachusetts, Detroit to New York are run on communist lines to the detriment of the people.

So acceptable have communists become in mainstream American life they have come out of the closet and out into the open.

The electorate of New York City recently elected Bill de Blasio, an openly communist candidate as their Mayor. Judging by recent events its a decision they are living to regret already.

The front runners for the Democrat Party Presidential nomination are Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren, two machine politicians who's core beliefs derive from Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto and Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals.

Since the accession of President Obama to power, the descent of the once mighty USA toward third world status is palpable. Once renown for its individual liberty, free enterprise economic system, prosperity, and constitutionally limited government, the 'shining city on a hill' is fast becoming indistinguishable from the East European autocracies of a few decades ago.

The people of France elected socialist ideologue Francois Hollande as their President and by any measure he has been a complete and utter disaster. The warnings that his socialist tax and spend policies would wreck the French economy, just as it has wrecked every economy since statism began, fell on deaf ears.

If Great Britain never recovered from the socialist Labour government of 1947, it will never, ever recover from the socialist disaster of the 1997 government of Tony Blair. This is the man who infamously wrote that "he came to socialism through Marxism" and who is now a multi-millionaire recluse from the disaster he left behind for everyone else to endure.

The current leader of the Labour Party is a born the bred Marxist Ed Miliband. Another machine politician who led the tributes on the death of 'his great family friend' the notorious anti-British historian Eric Hobsbawm. This committed communist excused Stalin's purges claiming that the millions of dead people were a price worth paying for communism.

The latest polling report on 8th January had Labour Party ahead by three points giving Red Ed a Parliamentary majority of 26. That means that Great Britain would join France in having a self declared communist/socialist Premier.

These examples alone should prove that communism is far from defeated but now mainstream in the former free world. One could not however fail to mention the European Union; this is the precursor to the post democratic federal superstate that uses the former Soviet Union as a template.

In shades of their heroes in the Soviet Union and in line with many of the more authoritarian socialist/communist regimes, the EU recently elected their new President, Jean Claude Junker. The Parliament was allowed to vote but Junker was the only candidate who was laughably elected in a secret ballot.

This hopelessly corrupt institution was dreamt up by politicians and bureaucrats for their own benefit and is the Politburo reincarnated. The ruling clique are appointed which makes them unaccountable and unsackable; they also help themselves to shed loads of taxpayer money without shame. Like their Russian comrades, no bureaucrat leaves the EU without a personal fortune despite the fact most are superannuated socialists/communists from the member countries.

In conclusion, contrary to what the General believes, communism is nowhere near to being defeated. Once confined to a few defined countries, it's reach is now global with no continent free from its malign, poverty-inducing influence.

Apart from the more obvious communist/socialist states such as China, North Korea, Russia, Vietnam, Cuba and Venezuela, whole swathes of Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe are infected to some degree. Unfortunately for those in the world who crave liberty and prosperity it includes their last hope, Great Britain and the United States of America.
