"Doggone it I missed
you! Overjoyed spaniel
welcomes home
her master as Libya Tornado crews return"
her master as Libya Tornado crews return"
Title of the article. Such sweet puns and abounding joy, floppy ears and all.
The media does this sort of thing allllll the time. I live
in a Canadian naval town; the base is actually just a few hundred feet
from my home so I see the sailors every day wherever I go. When the ships come home the media is overwhelmed with images
and stories of cute toddlers, newborns, families reunited, puppy dogs with
wagging tails, yada yada yada.
All the public hears is they are back from “a mission in so and so and been away for X number of months” as if to deny importance of “the mission” and focus on the bittersweet months of family separation and all that nifty emotional stuff.
Of course, like the puppy above, these children and families are being exploited to hell and back but no one questions it. They have been doing this for a very long time now. I recollect seeing images from WWI being used that way. This method was certainly honed to an art form during WWII and then Vietnam.
“Feel good” journalism at its schmuckiest and most deviously diverting. This approach is very successful tool in trivializing or hiding the truth behind aforementioned “mission”.
It is also a great way to polarize those against the mission and those who feel all those warm cuddly emotions. Suddenly the nay sayer or exposer is anti troops and anti family and the emotions get played even higher.
No one wants to hear the dirty truth, that their dear husband or son is a mass murderer. It is just “Johnny is home!” no more, no less.
These tactics keep the public focused on the local, not the international ramifications of that mission.
NEVER in the Zionist operated Canadian media is much if anything heard of the victims of said mission.
It is up to us independents to expose expose expose and pray eventually that the word gets out. It is an uphill battle.
The amount of vilification of Qaddafi the visionary is in direct proportion to how much good he also did and just how terrified they were of him and his accomplishments. They hope to kill the seed he planted just as much as they wanted his blood to run in the sands of the Sahara.
It is up to us, the people, to keep Qaddafi's vision ~ a cool glass of water in a world on fire ~ alive.

As for the media battle, slowly but surely things are turning. Sadly, my own generation, the boomers, still seem to follow the party line and those who are still blinded by the lamestream media. All we can do is persevere.

November 8, 2011
Warning: this article contains graphic imagery of a
very distressing nature.
After devastating Libya
and partaking in the murder of an estimated 100,000 Libyan men, women and
children, RAF pilots return home to their families in the UK. In a deeply
obscene news update, the Daily Mail is literally using ‘puppy dog’ imagery to
cynically whitewash the murderous war crimes that these British pilots have
committed.
The article of November
1st, titled: ‘Overjoyed spaniel
welcomes home her master as Libya Tornado crews return‘, contains heartwarming photos of an
RAF pilot’s spaniel dog(1) being reunited with her
master. The “touching scenes”
include another RAF pilot’s three year-old son “looking on proudly“, dressed in his miniature RAF uniform.
In the report, RAF Wing
Commander Andy Turk repeats the ‘no boots’ lie, “Because there were no British troops, it was very important that the
RAF maintained our intelligence and surveillance“.
This is one of the most
notorious myths of the Libya war; not mentioned in the piece is the well-known
fact that British SAS troops have been on the ground(2) in
Libya, leading the ground war ever since February.(3)
What is perhaps even more
sickening than this grotesque display of ‘puppy dog’ jingoism are the comments
posted by Daily Mail readers. Comments included:
“Fantastic job done again guys and lovely pictures. Welcome home and well done,”“My son worked round the clock at RAF Lossiemouth to keep those GR4 Tornadoes flying to Lybia, via Italy. Proud of you, son“.
One reader even felt the
need to voice how uplifting the story was:
“Best story I’ve read all week. All the pics are great but the spaniel’s unbridled joy at seeing her loved one return is especially uplifting“.
This contemptuous piece of
‘journalism’ serves as a reminder of how emotion and opinion has been
manipulated over the Libya war. Here, the utter criminality of NATO’s genocidal
onslaught has been whitewashed by the heartwarming imagery of a pining puppy
dog. These are heights of manipulation that this writer previously thought
unreachable, even by the most cynically depraved minds.
One has to wonder how the
British public would react if the fruits of these pilots’ labours were
published instead of this sentimental hogwash.
What would the world
think if NATO’s deliberate terror-bombing of
the Libyan people’s national water supply(4) was
common knowledge?
Perhaps the British
people should know about the RAF raid launched on Zlitan in
August,(5) which killed 85
civilians including children. This raid was carried out by No. 9 Squadron RAF, based at RAF
Marham.
This is the very same squadron that is featured
returning home, to RAF Marham, in The Daily Mail’s ‘puppy dog’ piece. The
pilots pictured are very likely directly responsible for the deaths of those
innocents.
Perhaps the British media
could print the story of Libyan man Khaled K.
El-Hamedi,(6) whose entire family was
murdered by NATO including his pregnant wife Sala, his 3 year-old son Khweldi,
his 4 year-old daughter Khalida, and his son Salam who was 1 year old.
Maybe the people of the
UK and the world should know that NATO has practically leveled Sirte to the
ground. Through the employment of ‘Fallujah
tactics’(7) and the indiscriminate
bombing and firing this involves, the city has been terrorized and brutalized
in unimaginable proportions.
The fruits of NATO’s
labours in Sirte and wider Libya are at once horrifying, nightmarish, and
heartbreaking. In Sirte, medical staff have been overwhelmed as the bodies of
innocent civilians including young children(8)
have
poured into Ibn Sina Hospital.
How would Daily Mail
readers react to seeing the following young girls in the same hospital in
Sirte, languishing in unimaginable pain and terror after being maimed in a NATO
bombing raid?
.
.
ED: Does this happy young murderer with his very darling puppy ever think that he might be responsible for the following? This is indeed shocking filmage. Do you think he cares? Or dare he dream of his deeds?
One of the young children
has had her lower jaw ripped away, while the girl next to her lays still,
catatonic, after having her legs mangled by NATO ordnance.
Fantastic
job, guys. Welcome home and well done.
Needless to say, it is
easy to imagine precisely how the British public would react if presented with
the realities of the Libya war.
British citizens would
oppose the war with unmitigated disgust and outrage, instead of the tacit
support that has characterized mainstream opinion ~ manipulated by the sort of
poisonous propaganda peddled by the likes of The Daily Mail.
ED: Personally I think that a good majority would just chalk it up to the cost of doing business and bringing down an international terrorist, you know, the one who planned Lockerbie? (Despite proof otherwise that was, if ever posted, put in a small piece in the back corner of the last page of publications.)

These pictures perfectly reflect the sick fucks behind these wars.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, they often have stories about dogs, showing far more compassion for them than the kids they've just incinerated.
It's Talmudic ridicule. They love this sort of shit.
On the good side, one of these arseholes just got fired through his canopy when the ejector seat fired.
Oops. No doubt they'll call him a hero too.
