Default Proud To Be A Certain Type

X (Factor) final hits the spot for families up and down the country - mirror.co.uk

Above is yesterday's column in the Daily Mirror by the bimbo's bimbo Fiona Phillips.Had to laugh at her suggestion that Matt Cardle would still be singing in front of his bathroom mirror if it wasn't for the x factor because that's exactly what he'll be doing in 12 months time.

Many of us have had a go at the (po)x factor but the main point of this post is to sadly wonder whatever happened to the Mirror.This was the paper of the great Paul Foot and John Pilger but is now reduced to featuring a column of an airhead like Phillips.On Friday the European summit took place in Brussels and the tv news channels featured extensive coverage of the turmoil in Russia.So what was the headline in yesterday's Mirror? LOUIS WALSH HAS £30k HAIR TRANSPLANT.

Fking unbelievable!!!

I'm with you comrade.

growing up in the 60's, we always had the daily mirror delivered. I remember reading pilger and paul foot when they were writing for them.

personally, I think it was murdoch who led the way into the gutter. That was back in the early 80's [when he was helping thatcher to break the unions]. It was all part of the weakening [and coursening] of british society, and the destruction of working class culture.

so this is what we are left with once the 'market' gets hold of a potentially powerful tool for educating people. Any potential for change is drained out and we have left is prurience and tittle-tattle. chewing gum for the masses, leaving us starved of anything substantial. Britain [particularly the english] is suffering from malnutrition of the brain.

and that's just how the ruling class, and their enablers in the british press, want's it to be.

Tom, Jimmy,

One may agree or disagree with your opinions. But I think you guys have an impressively superior ability to analyse and view the big picture. Unlike what we can often see elsewhere, you are never trapped in the expression of an ideology for the sake of serving populism in a propaganda style. It's always very analytic, and when needed, a neat demonstration of how noble values are spoiled is provided. And this is the important bit because it makes your sincerity [credibility] unquestionnable. So thanks guys for sharing your knowledge on the BB.
Question. Have you ever thought of taking a more formal role in enlighting a larger audience in a way or another? I think in these very troubled times it would be only beneficial for communities to read you.

Thanks very much Feno,that's made my day.

I think me and Jimmy come from similar backgrounds.Working class communities where people really WERE all in it together.I've never been a member of a political party as the prospect of being told what to think from above repels me.

You are very kind about my contributions but I think Jimmy is a few leagues above.The stuff I post about the current financial crisis,for example,is just my take on it which has been arrived at through application of the values I've always had.Jimmy,however,puts far more flesh on the bones of his argument.He always has facts,figures and examples at his disposal while my posts tend to motivated by my general perception of unfairness.That's why I'd to see Jimmy on the BBC's Question Time.

Don't think I could write professionally Feno.If I did it would have to be a monthy publication (30 miniutes to write an article,2 weeks to type it and 2 weeks for the proof reader to correct all the spelling mistakes.

In conclusion,thanks again,it's a nice compliment from someone who's opinion I value.

The illuminati are taking over in all aspects. Newspapers, newscasts, financially through banking. Check out the "Bohemian Club" on google, all of the money makers and politically influenced meet there every year. It is an evil organization further corrupting the world. We are heading for a police state and one world order, this is very disturbing to me. We will all be walking around with the mark of the beast before long. Why do you think everybody is buying gold, paper money is going to be useless in the future. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. There I said it and I wont take it back.

haha... don't be too modest... As long as there is no attempt to mislead people and that the reasoning is sound and backed by the facts memories and experience you show I really think it's definitely worth being passed on to people like me who need directions to reach a level of proper and accurate understanding of these multi-faceted subjects

A very strange lot that illuminati. I have heard of Bohemian Grove, there is a picture of Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon pictured there in the late 1950s and of course we both know what they became in their lives.

Theres also a bizzare ceremony performed there every year called the "cremation of care" that is said to be satanic and its atteneded by the worlds elite.
Watch thsi rather bizzare video of hidden camera footage from inside Bo Grove.

Oh and a weird true story that happened to me. I bought a book in 1997 called "the illuminatus trilogy" by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea.

I paid for it on credit card, 2 weeks later I was visited by three elderly men all dressed in Black suits and balck overcoats at the camera shop I was working at. They pretended they wanted to buy a camcorder, yet when I was demonstrating it, they didnt seem interested and after 15 minutes they left the shop.
A day later I get a phonecall from a man called Michael Zarkoff, who claimed he wanted me to "work for him" and that he was sending me a present.
The next day a package turned up with a cassette in it, it was called "changing your life powers". I got home and put it on, it was weird, it had some guy on there spouting what seemed like random phrases and was backed by the oddest music Id ever heard. I was totally freaked out, I couldnt get to the end as it was very unsettling, it made me feel ill like there was high frequences messing with my balance.

The next day he phoned again and instead of introducing himself, he just uttered an odd phrase that sounded like it came for the tape. I didnt pick up on the expression and didnt respond like he thought I would, so he repeated it, I ignored it again as I probably wouldve had to listen to all o f the tape to have responded in a certain way. I was pretty freaked by this man, I tried looking him up in business directories and asked my uncle who knows just about every business man in the world as he is quite a high flyer.

I couldnt get any information on this Michael Zarkoff, or trace the company he said he owned. So I put the phone down on him, I never heard another word from him from that day to this.

It was very freaky and I wish I kept the cassette to try and disect it as it was probably loaded with trigger phrases to get me to answer things in certain ways like hypnosis. But I threw it out as I thought it was evil, it certainly seemed like it from what I heard of it.

Bohemian Grove is very scary. They only employ men, no women allowed whatsoever. Try to look at the membership, its very upsetting.
