Pen Bloodier than the Sword

Most people are aware of the spin, censorship and corruption of western media. But even veteran activists tend to forget how lethal mainstream media journalists are. More vicious than troops, palace pen-pushers callously set up incidents in which innocents are cruelly killed.

During the transition from European to African rule, ex-builder’s labourer Michael Buerk was the BBC’s man in South Africa. The journalist covered an incident in which shantytown dwellers claimed a young African was a police informer.

Agitated by the presence of the BBC news team, the mob chased and cornered the youngster as the camera crew filmed. The English journalist was orgasmic in his delivery as the mob, thankfully out of sight behind a shack, placed a tire around the shoulders of the terrified lad. Doused in gasoline the victim was set ablaze. Without a shred of remorse the camera crew later filmed the still smouldering body. Michael Buerk was expelled by the South African government, but his position at the BBC was much enhanced.

During the mid-1980s Polish workers in Warsaw were demonstrating against the iron-fisted rule of Communist First Secretary Wojciech Jarizelski (1981 ~ 1989). There was some stone-throwing, but nothing serious.

The driver of one Red Army vehicle in attendance spotted a young man 100 metres or more from the nearest building and set off in pursuit. Realising the driver’s intent the youngster fled, but it was too late. As the television cameras rolled the army truck crushed the youth beneath its wheels. This was reported off-handily as just another incident.

Back to Separate Development South Africa. A favourite journalist trick was to toss coins into street bins. The cameras rolled as urchins then clambered inside the bins to recover the small change. When worldwide viewers watched these incidents the story was that non-Europeans starved and scavenged in bins for food discarded by rich Whites.

The story was that Europeans needed the protection of the security forces even when relaxing in local parks. Such incidents were constantly set up by Western journalists.

Media does not record news ~ it make news. Always question images of Europeans who, holding placards, welcome refugees to Europe. Journalists routinely shape the news to create the impression that there is public indifference to the refugee crisis. Whilst such incidents are set-up, anti-refugee protestors are dismissed as xenophobes or neo-Nazis. Anti-refugee demonstrations and attacks on so-called refugee centres are rarely covered.

When I led marches through London during the 1970s the usual media trick was to pay punks to tail on to the end of the marching column. This section of the march would then be filmed and the narrator would describe this lowlife as British Movement or National Front supporters.

What is the difference between an enemy soldier and a journalist? The soldier will kill you because if he doesn’t you will kill him. A journalist will kill you for a story. This is proven time after time.
