Osama Is Obama: A Potted History Of Media Whoops
BARACK Hussein Obama has name that sounds a bit like Osama bin Laden. It’s also a bit like Saddam Hussein. George Bush has name that sounds a lot like George II, the foreign King who fought the American dream. JFK is but one letter away from JFS (Jane’s Fighting Ships). Maggie Thatcher is easily confused with Teri Hatcher (both Christian!)? I think we can all take something from that. Here’s a pictorial history of the Osama is Obama polemic. One of them is dead. Can the media tell which one it is..?

Osama Bin Laden: The Lies That Fuel The Conspiracy
IS Osama bin Laden really dead? The White House says the photo of the dead Al Qaeda leader is “gruesome” and could be “inflammatory“.
Anorak thinks he is dead. If you believe the Americans can cook up a fake killing and that Barack Obama is a liar, then you may also believe that Bin Laden is alive and will at any moment hog the media by entering the room under his own steam. What better way to further his own aims and do down America than by exposing the big lie.

Ian Tomlinson Was Killed By A Rogue System: Harwood Is Just A Product
PC Simon Harwood, a member of the Metropolitan Police’s Territorial Support Group, used “excessive and unreasonable force” against Ian Tomlinson at the G20 protests in London, a jury has decided, write Richard North.
Image: Paul King (centre), the son of Ian Tomlinson, and his widow Julia (2nd right) speak to the press after the inquest into Mr Tomlinson’s death was delivered as an unlawful killing.
To reach an unlawful killing conclusion, says The Guardian, the jury were required to have been satisfied to a higher burden of proof than the other possible verdicts, which could have been reached “on the balance of probabilities”. They had to be convinced “beyond reasonable doubt“, the same threshold used in criminal trials.

Who Faked Osama bin Laden’s Death Photo?
THAT image of a dead Osama bin Laden – the one that’s featured on the front of such organs as the Mail, Times, Telegraph, Mirror and Sun and Mirror, that was broadcast by Sky News in the morning, is one based on an image taken from themedialine.org on 29 April 2009 merged with another shot of the Al Qaeda leader.
Yeah, it’s a fake.

Who Killed Osama Bin Laden? A Story Of US Delight And Pakistan Duplicity
OSAMA bin Laden is dead. He was killed in a fire fight in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Someone in an elite US force killed the world’s most wanted man. Who fired the bullet that killed bin Laden? We will know one day.
As for the head of Al Qaeda, well, he wasn’t that hard to find. Abbottabad is a town of 80,000 people, 120 km from Islamabad:
Abbottabad became and is still an important military cantonment and sanatorium, being the headquarters of a brigade in the Second Division of the Northern Army Corps. The garrison consisted of four battalions of native infantry (Gurkhas) and four native mountain batteries
Were the Pakistanis protecting him? What else do we know about the palce?
This photo taken on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 shows the home of Abdul Hameed in Abbottabad, Pakistan from where Indonesian al-Qaida-linked militant, Umar Patek, was arrested in Jan. 2011. Patek was on the run from a $1 million U.S. bounty on his head, for allegedly helping mastermind the 2002 suicide bombings of nightclubs in Bali that killed 202 people.

Second Riot In Bristol Proves Police Never Learn: Photos
THERE has been more unrest on the streets of Bristol. The first riot was not enough. The antagonism has resulted in violence. Richard North rounds-up:
There was another outbreak of violence in Bristol last night as protesters gathered on Cheltenham Road to stand in peaceful protest against police action in last week’s riots. Things turned violent around 1am, with a number of police and protesters being injured by missiles and close-quarters skirmishes, after people took exception to the tactics used by the police and the situation escalated.
Protestor Richard Ayres claimed that mounted police officers rushed down the middle of the street. “We were knocked to the side by them and were then shoved back by riot police with helmets, shields, truncheons and dogs“, he said. “I remonstrated with them peacefully, flabbergasted at the sudden turn of events“.
Assistant chief constable, however, Rod Hansen claims that officers had acted to stop protestors causing trouble. And therein lies your problem. With leaden, bureaucratic predictability, he declares:
“I am satisfied that our tactics were appropriate and proportionate, and feel that the officers involved acted professionally and with great restraint given the threat and personal danger they faced”.
I am gradually compiling details of the riot last week, and have very substantially added to the detail already posted. The more one finds out, the more extraordinary an event it appears. Not least, there were far more than the 300 or so protesters claimed. At a very rough estimate, there must have been more than a thousand people on the streets.
What is very evident is that, despite the idiot media and their headlines, and those who are trying to jump on the bandwagon, this was not an anti-Tesco riot. It was an anti-police riot, reacting to the aggressive behaviour of the police and the arrogance, during the riot – which they provoked – and afterwards. This comes over in a Daily Mail report where a spokesman for Tesco says of the current incident:
“Last night’s violence in Stokes Croft and beyond underlined that this is not an anti-Tesco protest, our store is not even open”.
Having behaved so badly last week, any sensible force commander would be acutely sensitive to the local mood. There seems to have been only the dimmest perception of that, by no means enough to have headed off this new demonstration, or any thought of changing tactics. And not recognising their own culpability, the police have not even begun to examine their own performance and thus fail to learn any lessons from it.
Putting police back on the streets, all tooled up with their riot gear on is just asking for trouble – it is insensitive to the point of stupidity, and demonstrates that the police have lost their instinct for consensual policing. They are now part of the problem and, each time they intervene, they do nothing but make the situation worse.
As if to prove the point, with all the sensitivity of an enraged bull elephant, the police were back again this morning, raiding the Telepathic Heights squat in a high profile operation involving about twenty vans and patrol cars, and a helicopter (picture above and below), with the riot gear out again.
Thus, having managed to piss off the community, with aggressive, high-handed tactics, the police response is to repeat them. A police statement says:
“The action has been taken as part of our aim to help the wider community return to peace and normality as quickly as possible following the disruption caused by the disorder, and also part of our commitment to identify and arrest those suspected of being involved in the recent disturbances”.
These people are stupid beyond the meaning of the word. They have a don’t learn – can’t learn culture, and nothing good will come of it.

Kelner’s i Abandons Elitist Prententions And Goes Nuts For ‘Shit’ Royal Wedding
WAY, Way, way bask in early April, i editor Simon Kelner asked the paper’s readers to help dictate what level of Royal wedding coverage the paper should feature.
The poll – “How much Royal wedding coverage do you want to see in i?” – features the options:
“None; Some; Who gives a shit; Charlie Sheen”; and “Only if the bastards get blown up“.
Kelner told us of the paper’s Facebook poll in which respondents had voted by a factor of two to one against i featuring any coverage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton’s wedding. The smug liberal elite think know the wedding is for idiots.

Muslims Against Crusades Say Jihadis Plan To Attack Nazi Royal Wedding
NEWS was that Islamist group Muslims Against Crusades has decided not to protest outside Westminster Abbey after police rejected its application to scream and shout. As a result of that, the EDL will not be hosting a counter-demo.
Only, when you can fit an entire movement into a hatchback, staging a protest is pretty easy. Today, a few fearless masked men calling themselves Muslims Against Crusades stood outside Parliament and were heckled by passers-by. This was billed as an impromptu press conference.
Anorak wonders if there is Muslims For Crusades group out there? Is every Muslim who is not in Muslim Against Crusades by definition a member of Muslim For Crusades?
Also, why do fascist Muslim groups say Prince Harry is a Nazi like it’s a bad thing (Image from MAC website).) Most Islamists think Nazis were just the ticket. Hizbollah love a Nazi salute. And anti-Semites love using the Nazi motif to cosh Israelis, and, by association, all Jews. As Howard Jacobson says: “By brute consensus, now, Israel is the proof that Jews did not adequately learn the lesson of the Holocaust.”

Who Is Al Qaeda’s Insider At The BBC?
WHO is the BBC employee who may be part of an Al-Qaeda “propaganda media network”? The Daily Telegraph has got its hands on WikiLeaks files that suggest Al Qaeda might have an insider at the BBC World Service.
The US military has seized a number of phone books and phones from jihadis that contain the number of a line at the BBC.
What can it mean?
When the BBC reporter Alan Johnson was abducted by Gaza Islamists in 2007, Fayad Abu Shamala was allowed to help with his release. Shamala was employed by the BBC. Shamal was also a member of Hamas.

Andrew Marr: Face Of An Incestuous Establishment Media Who Fellate The Elite
BBC presenter Andrew Marr is now “embarrassed” about gagging the press. Marr was not keen for us to know that he had been shagging a Times Journalist whilst still married to a Guardian journalist. Marr thought he had fathered a child by the other woman. He wanted the child protected. The law agreed. The story was gagged.
Marr, who makes his living as a journalist speaking truth to power and interviewing the elite, suppressed the truth with a super injunction. That was 2008. Now in 2011, he says:
“I did not come into journalism to go around gagging journalists.”
