Chandran Nair: White Racism Behind West’s “Anti-China” Hysteria! (26.5.2024)

26/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Nair pointed out that the negative reports in the Western media that there are “Concentration Camps” for ethnic minorities in Xinjiang are “complete lies” and “it doesn’t take a rocket scientist’s mind to see through them.” In Yuli County, Xinjiang, cotton farmers conduct spring sowing operations (photo taken on March 29, drone photo). Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Hao Zhao Before Eid al-Fitr, Nair posted a video on social media showing how Muslims in different countries celebrate Eid al-Fitr. It started with a scene in Xi’an, China. “When I shared this video with some friends, they actually asked, ‘This is China?'” Nair’s reply to his friends was – “You should really go to China and see it with your own eyes.” “More non-Western sources are needed”!

Social media has the characteristic of automatically presenting information that is in line with the interests of the user. Therefore, users may miss a lot of information that is not in line with their interests, Asahi Shimbun reported.

Over 80 percent of the survey respondents expressed concerns about the impact of disinformation on elections and libel against others.

When asked “Do you think it is better to have different views on politics and society presented to you?” 69 percent said “yes,” while 22 percent replied “no.”

Regarding possible revisions of war-renouncing Article 9 of the Constitution, 61 percent said it should be left intact, while 32 percent were in favour of changes.

UK: Demise of “King Charles III” Story Fabricated to Obscure Putin’s Successful Re-Election Win! (19.3.2024)

19/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Today, March 18th, 2024, a number of media outlets and Telegram channels reported that 75-year-old King Charles III died in Great Britain. The publications were accompanied by a screenshot of an allegedly official statement from Buckingham Palace – which although believed to have originated in the UK – has turned out to be fake.

Among those who published information were Russian-language Telegram channels, as well as Telegram channels of the Kazakh media, such as Atameken Business, Bes Media and TengriNews. At the same time, these outlets emphasized that there was no official information about the death of the monarch.

Later, Buckingham Palace denied this information, noting that “the king continues to perform work duties and engage in private affairs.” And the British Embassy in Russia called this information fake.

Hyphen: “Overwhelming” Bias Revealed in New Report on UK Media’s Coverage of Israel-Palestine Conflict! (15.3.2024)

15/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Researchers at the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM), an arm of the Muslim Council of Britain, examined nearly 177,000 broadcast clips and 25,515 online news articles published between 7 October and 7 November 2023. The broadcasts were from 13 channels operated by media organisations including Al Jazeera English, the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Sky News and right wing outlets GB News and TalkTV.

The CfMM report, Media Bias: Gaza 2023-2024, also examined news websites published by 28 media organisations including the New Statesman, Economist, Daily Mail, Sun, Mirror, Independent, Guardian, Times, BBC and iNews.

They found that broadcasters referenced Israeli perspectives almost three times as much as Palestinians (4,311 times vs 1,598), while online news outlets presented Israeli perspectives almost twice as much (2,983 times vs 1,737).

On broadcast channels, “Israel’s right to defend itself” was promoted on 1,482 occasions, while the rights of Palestinians were mentioned 278 times, a ratio of 5 to 1.

Peace & Love to Radio DJ Steve Wright [1954-2024]! (15.2.2024)

15/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Perhaps there was an ‘Earlier Steve Wright’ and a ‘Latter Steve Wright’ (just like Wittgenstein) – as I am told he was working for the BBC in the 1980s well before I knew of him (I used to listen to Adrian Juste, Kenny Everett and Radio Moscow under the bedclothes at night) during that time. Whilst engaged in reclusive (academic) studies, Steve Wright would accompany me through a strict study and keep-fit regimen. When not reading and writing – I would be lifting weights and practicing martial arts movements, etc. Steve Wright and his humour would align with the freshness and beauty of Spring and Summer – and lift us out of the inherent misery of Autumn and Winter! Lastly, when the capitalist world was going through an orgy of self-congratulation following the collapse of the USSR in 1991 – Steve Wright continued to point-out (in a humorous and acceptable manner) all the inconsistencies that still lay within the capitalist system. As to whether this was his intention I do not know. As he was earning over £400,000 per year – I suspect not.

UN: Zionist Aggression Murders “122” Journalists Since Start of Al-Aqsa Flood! (1.2.2024)

01/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

“We have received disturbing reports that despite being clearly identifiable in jackets and helmets marked “press” or traveling in well-marked press vehicles, journalists have come under attack, which would seem to indicate that the killings, injury, and detention are a deliberate strategy by Israeli forces to obstruct the media and silence critical reporting,” the UN experts said.

“Journalists are entitled to protection as civilians under international humanitarian law. Targeted attacks and killings of journalists are war crimes,” the experts warned.

The UN experts urged the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to give particular attention to the dangerous pattern of attacks and impunity for crimes against journalists, which has intensified since October 7. “Targeting and killing of journalists in the Occupied Palestinian Territory must stop,” they said.
