BBC Panorama

    This was always going to be another programme
full of spin with very little actual informative
material. The BBC have once again proven that they
should only attempt news coverage when they have an
American network on air in the background.
     The programme began with the familiar scenes of
what actually happened in NYC on Tuesday. It's a good
job they broadcast those pictures again because I'd
forgotten about the planes. The level of saturation
that these pictures have now reached is now the
highest in human history. This has to be the most
intense propaganda presentation we have ever
witnessed, it even eclipses the work of Goebels during
the previous world war...sorry that one just slipped
out, I forgot that we don't actually have a real enemy
in this "war" yet.
     Almost every picture or reel of Bin Laden shown
in this programme was accompanied by a background of
rubble, presumably that of the Trade centre. This is
the most heavily used mode of manipulation, a
psychological technique used to make us immediately
and subconsciously associate The patsy Bin Laden with
these events. Bizarrely, I actually remember seeing
these images before. When I sat down and had a good
think about where, I remembered that they were on the
BBC news only one day after the events. This means
that the Panorama special was being put together less
than 24 hours after the attacks, before Bin Laden had
even officially been named as the prime suspect. This
programme was nothing more than a rush job, designed
to back up the hysterical call for heads to roll in
the mainstream media and in the general public realm.
It only served the same purpose as the printing in
national papers of perhaps the most idiotic image
ever, a pickup truck with an American flag proudly
flying on the back with the words 'Nuke 'em' (referring
to, we must assume, Afghanistan) scrawled under it.
     The whole broadcast of Panorama was intermingled
with familiar heart rendering images and
testimonies (more of which can be seen in a BBC special
next Tuesday at 9pm) of eyes witnesses. Forgive if I'm
wrong but I thought this programme was supposed to
shed some light on bin Laden, not repeat everything we
have witnessed for the past week AGAIN. The repetition
of these scenes served to cleverly rally our emotions,
eliminate the last remaining shreds of horror we have
at seeing the images, turning it into anger and a wish
to support decisive revenge. Cut to an image of Bin
Laden and the job is complete.
     Footage of Palestinian civilians celebrating in
the streets was again used. It has emerged over the
last few days that this footage actually originates
from 1991 when Iraq invaded Kuwait. It is just another
ploy to manipulate our emotions against an innocent
population. The only new information reported was that
the suspected hijackers were in a bar drinking and
bragging that they were pilots the night before the
terrorist attacks. We also learned that for a
fortnight they were seen "roaming" the coast of
Florida. If these men were part of Bin Laden's team
they must surely have been investigated by the US
intelligence services at some point. If this was the
case why was this 'roaming' not thought to be slightly
suspicious?
     A final insult of our intelligence was reported
by Panorama when it informed us that the FBI had
intercepted e-mail from suspected followers of Bin
Laden that reported that "both jobs were successful."
I'm sure their bosses were very relieved to hear this
news, because it was hard to tell from the TV pictures
if any damage had been done wasn't it viewers?
     The spin continues. Stop trying to manipulate our
emotions, stop persuading us, and cease the tasteless
repetition of the plane crashes. This programme had
all the hallmarks of a prosecutor's final speech to
the jury. If this were a real case against Bin Laden,
on the evidence that Panorama provided, it would be
thrown out of court.
     The last words of the programme stated "it was
senseless." To the New World Order elite attempting to
suppress our freedom it makes perfect sense.
