Is the political battle now the Nation vs the Media?

Objective measures show that the UK is very much less racist than either the USA or EU.  Yet the UK Media ignored this and elided the US Black Lives Matter protests into UK politics.

It is 200 years since the UK abolished slavery but only 100 years since the Jim Crow laws in the USA and only 55 years since these were abolished.  Yet the UK Media treats the US as an extension of the UK.

There are two commercial reasons for this seamless joining of the UK and USA.  The first is that BBC World sees the USA as its prime market in the future.  The second is that the BBC has merged its Global and National news teams.  The rest of the UK Broadcast Media takes the BBC as the standard for reporting.

The other reason for the UK coverage is that racism/ant-racism is the chosen dialectical battleground of Postmarxism.  This may sound esoteric but Postmarxism is the modern political philosophy of the Left.  It has been so successful in the Media that almost all Media presenters and reporters are Postmarxist. 

The racist/anti-racist tactic was developed by Postmodern philosophers in the latter half of the 20th century and is central to Postmodernism and Poststructuralism.  Postmodernism is taught in the Humanities as if it is the only truth and Literary Criticism and Journalism courses use Poststructuralism as the gospel for the modern author.  Postmodernism/poststructuralism underpins Postmarxism.  Our universities openly use government funds to teach students to be Postmarxist.

The latest move by Black Lives Matter protestors in the UK was to damage the statue of Nancy Astor who, in 1919, was the first woman to take a seat in Parliament.  She had a record of Anti-Nazism (See Plymouth Herald).

The Media reaction was to report this as protestors defacing the statue because Astor was racist and anti-semitic.  The Media did not put Nancy Astor in context . The UK Media are stoking the flames of public disorder.  Why?

You may have supported Remain in the UK Referendum but if you are in favour of an unbiased media you should be worried that according to Rod Liddle an internal survey by the BBC showed 93% support for Remain among its staff.  John Humphrys, who supported Remain, also reported that the BBC was entirely anti-Brexit.  Supporting Remain has now morphed into opposition to Nation States.  If you support the well being of a locality this makes you racist. This should worry all of us.

Only those who are mobile and do not rely on local schools and hospitals, local friends and relations, local services and employment, could possibly believe that supporting your locality is racist.  Only those who, like most BBC presenters and reporters, went to private school, have private health insurance and work for corporations with overseas opportunities, could possibly believe that supporting your locality is racist.

It is strange that the UK Media never discusses Internationalism and Global Government. It regularly attacks the idea of the Nation State but leaves Global Government unexamined as a sort of utopia just waiting for us to enjoy if we can only overthrow the chains of nationhood.  It never points out that much of the world is National Socialist Chinese or sympathises with the National Socialist Chinese system.  These countries are unlikely to accept Global Government and if they did it would be a nightmare on the Chinese model with absolute control of the individual.

The BBC Charter has been changed massively in recent years and where it once charged our National Broadcaster with supporting Britain it now does little more than charge it with being unbiased and putting news in context to inform the people.  The BBC fails to even observe the requirement to be unbiased.  The BBC is overseen by Ofcom and Ofcom is an organisation that is an utter failure at overseeing anything.  The Charter must be amended, the BBC staff must be changed to be more representative and Ofcom must be relieved of its role enforcing the Charter.

Practical Idealism by Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi

Coudenhove-Kalergi was a pioneer of European integration. He was the founder and President for 49 years of the Paneuropean Union. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an oil merchant, antiques-dealer, and huge landowner family in Tokyo. His "Pan-Europa" was published in 1923 and contained a membership form for the Pan-Europa movement. Coudenhove-Kalergi's movement held its first Congress in Vienna in 1926. In 1927 the French Prime Minister, Aristide Briand was elected honorary president.  Personalities attending included: Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann and Sigmund Freud. Figures who later became central to founding the EU, such as Konrad Adenauer became members . His basic idea was that democracy was a transitional stage that leads to rule by a new aristocracy that is largely taken from the Jewish "master race" (Kalergi's terminology). His movement was reviled by Hitler and H

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith.  What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas?  In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands.  The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata.  The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile.  In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b

The Report on Racism

The " Report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities " has just been published.  The Commissioners were nearly all from BAME backgrounds and have produced a robust and fair Report. The Report identified a class divide in which the cycle of advantage maintains a section of the population in wealth and leaves the large bulk of the population in relative poverty.   The wealthy class is largely white British but the poorer class consists of large numbers of white British and other ethnic groups.  This class divide causes a bias in the crude statistics on disadvantage so that majority, poor white British are labelled as "white supremacists" etc. when it is the small wealthy class that actually creates the disparity that causes this analysis. The most striking finding is that different ethnic groups had very different experiences and outcomes.  Educational outcomes demonstrate this at a glance: Red text added for this article Most ethnic groups had better outcome
