EDITORIAL: Voice of China

Ne News
24 March 2018

As people in the West knows, China is about to launch a "super-broadcaster" called "Voice of China", with some broadcasters (including SBS here in Australia) will be monitoring the content of the new international broadcaster (https://tvtonight.com.au/2018/03/sbs-to-monitor-bulletins-from-chinas-new-super-broadcaster.html). But the question is this: If broadcasters in the West wants to monitor international broadcasters such as Voice of China (as well as Iran's Press TV and Russia's Russia Today), shouldn't we be monitoring international broadcasters such as the Voice of America? Or Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty?

It is worth noting that stations such as Voice of America, as well as affiliates such as Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty are not allowed to be broadcasted in the United States of America because it is viewed as propaganda. That's right, Voice of America and its affiliates such as Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is considered propaganda according to Washington, and therefore not to be broadcasted into the United States of America. And guess what? There is no monitoring of Voice of America and its affiliates such as Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in Western countries. But the United States of America cracks down on Al Jazerra and Russia Today (both forced to register as foreign agents), but Israeli media is NOT REQUIRED TO REGISTER AS A FOREIGN AGENT.

And while Voice of China may end up being propaganda to the equal of Voice of America, it is worth noting that many countries broadcast material (or propaganda) internationally, and it is not unique to China or the United States of America (or Iran or Russia or United Kingdom or even Israel). That is why when news such as this comes up, we need to look at what other countries are doing and we would find out that what China is doing with Voice of China is no different to Voice of America or other international broadcasts.

EDITORIAL: Be Careful Italy

Ne News 2 June 2018 As you may be aware, there was a constitutional crisis in Italy following the decision to make a Eurosceptic Italian Finance Minister, which resulted in the Italian President to dissolve the government. Just a couple of days ago, this was resolved. However, it is worth noting that one of the parties in this coalition is the far-right wing Northern League, as well as the Five Star Movement. However, the people of Italy must be careful, especially in regards to the Northern League, as they may be the party to destroy Italy’s sovereignty and hand it over to the unelected and unaccountable European Union, which is increasingly becoming a fascist police state. That’s right, despite denying it and claiming that they are Eurosceptics, the Northern League may actually be the most pro-European Union party in the Italian Government. Throughout the world (and in particular the Western World), we are seeing the rise of far-right wing parties who claim ...

Afghanistan, Iraq. Hollywood’s Complicity: How Soon the Suckers Forget!

Philip A. Farruggio Global Research 12 May 2018 Featured image: George W. Bush with Ellen Degeneres, backstage after the former President appeared on “Ellen” and was hailed by her as a good friend (Source: @theellenshow/Instagram) How many lies and how many innocent lives have been sent out into the ethers by men like Junior Bush and his Bush/Cheney Cabal? Too many is the answer. Yet, as with the case with the Irish singing star (and humanitarian) Bono, Junior Bush has been ‘Born Again Philanthropist’. Well, good for him, but… that should not and DOES not absolve him from his war crimes. Screenshot AVC News, May 27, 2017 The real shame of all of this is just how short a memory do Ms. Ellen Degeneres and Mr. Bono have? I mean, come on you two  Media stars , have you both forgotten what transpired beginning in October of 2001? Does this writer need to once again review the  horrific  damage we,  and  our NATO led coal...

The French “Patriot Act”: Why is France Extending Its State of Emergency? From Pseudo-Democracy to Dictatorship

Guillaume Kress Global Research 19 February 2016 President Francois Hollande, whose legitimacy stems from nothing but a fraudulent multiparty electoral system , has repeatedly abused his authority  since taking office in 2012 by waging illegal wars in foreign countries (i.e., Mali, Syria) without consulting his electors. [1] He  recently failed to confer with them when his Socialist government responded to last year’s terrorist attacks in Paris by adopting Orwellian domestic policies – policies that have allowed the Hollande administration to spy on citizens , block websites containing “terrorist related content” , strip convicted “terrorists” of French citizenship , and criminalize activism against Israeli occupation .[2] These policies prevent the spread of information which may expose the government’s criminal activities. We should note, here, that the state of emergency greatly facilitates political corruption. [3] To put it briefly, the state of...
