BLOG 119 A THE MEDIA AND THE TRUTH

1st April 2022

For both this week and next week’s Blog I will be concentrating on why we cannot accept any media at first hand as being honest and honourable, let alone truthful.

Now you may question me on how this can have any Spiritual bearing, as my site professed to be an outlet for my Spirit Friends.

The fact is that anything that opposes True Righteousness, Purity, Truth and Honesty is opposing Creation, and therefore opposed by both my Spirit Friends and myself.

THE BLOG:

Be it print, TV/radio, or on line/social media, rarely is the news story from an independent and reliable source. Those of us who have had the misfortune of having an incident or story covered by the media know that the truth was the sad looser in preference to sensationalism.

Much of the news we are receiving world wide, comes from press releases of the source, especially from our Governments. As an example, we had this situation that beyond a doubt, highlighted how a Press Release from the US became the news of the day on a matter that we still haven’t been fully informed on.

On 18/19th March this year, America’s President Biden and China President Xi Jinping had a two hour private secure video call at 9:03 a.m. (EDT – US).

These some of the news stories that I was able to find from the various western media who inferred their stories were from the meeting. Note that they are all variants of what is obviously a press release:

America’s PBS’ Report: Two key figures in determining the course of a war half a world away, President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping spoke Friday as the White House looks to deter Beijing from providing military or economic assistance for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Australia’s Government Owned ABC’S Report:

Key figures for a war half a world away, United States President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping spoke for nearly two hours as the White House looked to deter Beijing from providing military or economic assistance for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Guardian Report:

Joe Biden spoke for nearly two hours with Xi Jinping as the US sought to dissuade China from backing Russia’s war on Ukraine.

A White House account of the call on Friday said that the US president “described the implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians”.

ALJAZEERA: US President Joe Biden has informed Chinese President Xi Jinping of the “implications and consequences” should Beijing provide material support to Moscow in the war in Ukraine, the White House said, after the two leaders spoke in a video call.

REUTERS:

WASHINGTON/BEIJING, March 18 (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden warned Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday of ‘consequences’ if Beijing gave material support to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the White House said, while both sides stressed the need for a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

While the White House did not detail what those consequences could be, or how the U.S. would define “material support”, press secretary Jen Psaki indicated China’s massive trade flows could be impacted.

Pete: Not ONE media outlet gave the reader any information as to what was discussed, for how long they spent on Biden rousing on Xi, and what promised Xi made to be a good boy for the mighty US of A.

Two hours is a long time for any deep and meaningful discussion, so surely at least one media outlet would want to investigate each leader’s statements to determine what they actually said.

It maybe because it was Xi who berated the US and Biden for deliberately creating mistrust of China, and China’s claimed intentions.

Well it was all there, in black and white, in the Chinese media, for any world’s reporter to check, and is necessary, criticise for their particular news outlet.

NOT A SAUSAGE from any media, other than China:

The China Daily: President Xi Jinping has urged the United States to work with China to move bilateral ties forward on the right track, and assume the due international responsibilities of a major country to work for world peace and stability.

(Surely that would have raise the ire of Fox news? Why didn’t their shock jocks at least counter Xi’s inferences?)

In a video call with US President Joe Biden on Friday, Xi reiterated China’s position on the Ukraine crisis, saying the pressing task currently is to continue to facilitate dialogue and negotiations for a cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine at an early date.

(Yep, sounds like Xi is planning to back Russia and start a war with the US.)

President Xi noted the new major developments in the international landscape since their first virtual meeting last November. The prevailing trend of peace and development is facing serious challenges. The world is neither tranquil nor stable. As permanent members of the UN Security Council and the world’s two leading economies, China and the U.S. must not only guide their relations forward along the right track, but also shoulder their share of international responsibilities and work for world peace and tranquillity.

Pete: It is way too long a story to post here, and so I very strongly advise you to read it fully, and to then make up your own mind as to why no other media outlet challenged the Chinese story.

Then question as to how much of any of the stories we receive from any of our news services, especially those claiming to be independent, such as our ABC, America’s PBS and Britain’s BBC, are truly reporting honest, reliable new.

THIS WEEK’S UNBIASED WORLD NEWS

And finally, which of these news stories moved you this week?

Unless you went searching for them, you wouldn’t have found them … except one.

1) Eight UN peacekeepers killed in helicopter crash in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

2) Thousands displaced as 40 year war in Senegal crosses border.

3) Somalia’s drought, ‘there is no food’.

4) Extreme starvation in Sudan.

5) Ukraine war causing food riots in poor countries.

6) As of 20 March 2022, over 468 million confirmed cases (Covid) and over 6 million deaths have been reported globally.

OR

7) Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars.

Wouldn’t I be right in saying our media is totally biased, and controlled, by what American news, particularly Murdoch, feeds us all, at the expense of the real world news that makes Ukraine look like a picnic?

AND FINALLY: FAKE NEWS AT IT’S BEST

This story started spreading through the conspiracy sites at Twitter, Facebook and even in mainstream Australian media.

It’s about the cat kids who it claims lick their paws, meow like cats and schools are forced to leaving litter trays in unisex toilets to accommodate them.

It all started with this story in the US:

“MOTHER: … there are kids that are, that identify as a furry, a cat or a dog, whatever. And so yesterday I heard that at least one of our schools in our town has a, in one of the unisex bathrooms, a litterbox for the kids that identify as cats. And I am really disturbed by that … Midland Public Schools, Storyful.

It was fake news, as explained at the end of this Media Watch program on our ABC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYmIvQuLNMY

But it didn’t stop Murdoch’s Queensland’s Courier Mail, and then Channel 9, converting it into a major story.

If that wasn’t bad enough, in the US, a conservative Republican State senator Bruce Bostelman has been caught out for, not only believing it as a truth, but for stating so during a public, televised debate on a bill intended to help school children who have behavioural problems.

Don’t we have a duty of care to our families, friends and ourselves to promote and spread Truth, and not media manipulation?

Aren’t we all open doors to the warmongers who are, right now, preparing us for World War III?

If we can find out intimate details of a particular popular personality, entertainer or actor by wading through Wikipedia, You Tube or Google, then surely the matters that concern us all deserve at least the same effort. Pete
