Very interesting Mike. The mass media is obviously in lock-step and repeating itself, but it was not always that way. In one sense the Internet has destroyed investigative journalism because its replacement with citizen journalists is not really a substitute.

Mass media still has the audience and the money, but investigative journalism has gone the way of local broadcasting and the big chains all playing music for the masses. But public is reading and listening to the mass media - including BBC.

I don't agree with everything Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump have to say, but they both share this same view that the mass media has become 'fake news', and that makes it possible to have hope for the future - if Trump is reelected. If he loses, then an age of darkness will then fall over that part of the world which thinks it is free.

In the UK it is not possible for Rush Limbaugh to exist. I listen to him off local station feeds in the USA, but Tune-in has now blocked him out. That is not to do with music copyrights because he is not a DJ. It is about censorship.

The Official Secrets Act and the lack of a First Amendment Constitution plus the thuggery of the Queen Liz represented British Crown are muzzles keeping the masses in the British Isles uninformed.

One voice from China is still claiming that the Virus was intentionally manufactured to destroy the US economy, and I think that may be true. China is at war with the USA over money, and the USA controls the economies of the world. Meanwhile China, not Russia is building up this massive armed force - just like Hitler did and no one paid attention to him.

Churchill yelled and people yawned - until it was almost too late. I am not a fan of Churchill, any more than Trump, but Trump is the new Churchill and we have not too long to discover if we will all become enslaved if he loses.

Because if Trump loses, its not just Tune-in that will get turned off - it is all of those 'citizen journalists' out there. They will be silenced with the flick of a switch.

Unfortunately most people don't care and they live their lives as victims, not as individuals. Everyone was individually born and will individually die. No movement, religion or political party has really any power whatsoever over individual human life. None. Yet the masses seem to think in terms of masses and not in terms of their own individual life.

Queen Liz is an old woman who will die - fairly soon now. She has no more claim to life than your or me. None. She was born naked and will died naked and if stuck in a box in the ground the maggots will feed off her corpse too. Nothing royal about that.

Each life is individual and each death is individual.

We can't save our own life let alone the Planet.

Maybe just maybe

Armageddon really is the answer. Old anoraks are typical of a larger portion of mankind, sleepwalking to their own demise.

I agree with Mervyn about citizen journalism. The march of tech is two strides forward and 1 goosestep back

E.g Sure it's great that we can all be real time TV critics rather than chuckling or disagreeing with whatever the TV reviewer said we should have enjoyed or hated in our chosen paperboy rag the next week

And it's great shoddy shops and companies can be instantly shown up and 1 star shamed

Obviously anyone who goes out with a camcorder to an event knows very well in their mind what they want to record and relate and maybe they edit it

Having said that if a "pro TV" crew or a "pro" print reporter goes out is not their mind or more likely the mind (agenda/leanings) of their organisation doing exactly the same thing except on a larger level to a larger mass and hence by sheer %force of numbers doing exactly the same thing?

The Churchill/Trump/Boris thing is also true .Please don't diss the Queen, It's not her fault, she did not beg to be elected and desire it but she certainly shows leadership

A figurehead like a PM or President cannot possibly know everything about everything and so picks the best advisors to do that

Leadership is when to know when to sort the wheat from the chaff and present the corn

In this country we have Boris grinding away thumping his fists on the desk and talking in more and more generation blue screen phrases until you realise he is little more than a clueless spokesman in the mill

Trump has his team of advisors, listens to them, and then promptly sacks them if he disagrees, taking to the world stage to tell us how he thinks he is using his own loaf

You might say this is dictatorship but there is a difference between that and being a front for puppet pullers on a water wheel foamed up by the likes of Putin, Musk, Jinping and Gates

It is a real leaders job to pick and chose the right team of experts and deliver important news to the company or country, good or bad or terrifying

Churchill could do that, unfortunately Boris and Trump cannot

Churchill's reputation was made by the people on the results of the decisions he made. Not by him on an ego trip

Trump and Boris (and countless before them like Blair and Bush) seem to think they can write their own epitaphs as individuals

They cannot. If they were in the English Royal Family perhaps they would do their duty better, like Her Majesty The Queen

Delighted that pubs must shut at 10 pm. Changing the traditional English warm beer licencing laws from at least 10am till 11pm has bought nothing but ruination to the pub trade and the nation. To keep the likes of Mr Spoons open 24 hours they need staff - which have been imported to be exploited. The falling out footfall on the street is a public nuisance and health hazard to everyone involved in this mania for sell sell sell, open all hours, squeeze every last drop. The country will be a lot more healthy if in the long term 10.30 meant what it used to be, last orders at the bar, or on your app (LOL). If Tim Martin does not like that he has got enough malt to bugger off and buy his own island and a bar on a beach staffed by local natives to pay small change to. They say thank you mutely boss and laugh behind his back - just like back in Croydon!

On another topic of international law, is this what the Blog of Blogs is alluding to about the mineral rights, the human trafficking, the boarding of oil tankers and seeing off multi coloured fishing and spying trawlers

Don't say you agree with me James when you don't.

Liz in Buck House is a whore. She is the figurehead of a brothel called the Crown corporation sole.

Don't place Boris is the same category as Trump, but do place Trump in the same category as Churchill. Both are flawed but both are people who became necessary to stop the insanity of mass slavery.

Liz is without excuse. She can quit. She doesn't have to prop up this mess.

Citizen journalists are necessary due to the drive-by media who perform their brainwashing on behalf of the Crown corporation sole. The trouble is that the citizen journalists don't have the money to match the drive-by media.

While I am at it James, what the hell are you rabbiting on about over on the troll Caroline Forum? Since when does playing old records match freedom of speech Charlie Wolf style. He is a Trump man.

Have you heard MY broadcasts on free radio? For example, have you heard MY broadcast for PCRL in Birmingham? It was a BLACK immigrant station which I supported.

So what are the loons on their rust bucket East Anglia toy supporting? THEIR OWN DILLUSIONS in playing old records which they think is saving humanity.

That Caroline cult is driving you nuts, which is about the only explanation I can think of for you wafting in and out of insane posts.

Turn that damn Caroline thing off James, and join the real world.

But remember, Boris is not Trump and Liz is a whore.

Thanks for the typo correction. Glad everything else in my post meets with your approval.

Oh, look! Someone actually doing something for the benefit of the community and involving the community:

Compare and contrast with the failed efforts to get a local station off the ground in Falkirk a few years ago.

You mean that Malcolm Smith's new toy playing old records for a tiny little audience is the same as trying to fight the Establishment and present a true account of history? I don't think so. The Establishment couldn't care less about Malcolm conning his cult of supporters who debate old record formats, but the Establishment does care about anyone debunking the Establishment.

You're not fighting the establishment, just being a Violet Elizabeth; and if you think that CCR 94.7 will only be playing old records, then you need to educate yourself and try to keep up.

Well, let's just see how much the Establishment cares about your so called debunking when your book is published, shall we?

In the meantime, I think you'll find that any radio station can be what it wants to be, not what you want it to be.

Sometimes you make sense and sometimes you wave the royal flag which is insanity in itself. At other times you are looney as they come.

So I guess when you are playing sane you are still off your royal rocker.

Interesting that you had to post your reply on the GS-Rustler Caroline Troll Board

Yes it is very strange especially as I replied to you here that very evening with a wonderful Noel Coward clip
