Geg Hopkins awarded Journalism recognition
October 2019: Geggyboy very recently received an award from His Royal Nibs. It was a Bahrain based award, not a Nobel Prize, but judging by the response, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was the latter.
Was I ecstatic? As a mere subject, the privilege of being up there and greeted by H,R,H. is always a belter of a thrill because it doesn’t happen very often at all! In the old days of a few hundred thousand population we got to see the Rulers a little more often and security was not an issue. But with a few million packed in now and world seemingly so much more upside down, these occasions are becoming very rare. Another nicety is that the PM will often have a personal little word to some of us by name (like his late brother and Amir; Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, they have uncanny memories and recall faces and names better than elephants). That personal touch makes me feel a bit special for being recognized, because I being far from Mr. Pushy, don’t expect it or even think about it, but I do know he knows me well and was a ‘fan’ so to speak from my heydays of radio.
I assume this award reflects some of those rather open and fun days before my tenancy was cut short by insidious intimidation from those not able to compete at my level, so ganged up and lowered the standard to the lowest common denominator to feed their deluded ego. (I went to TV afterwards, which unfortunately so few watch). This is what we have now with Broadcast Media in Bahrain at such an incredibly low ebb compared to the incredible openness, content full and fun days of the 80s and early 90s, that it was. Nowadays, it is inanity, twitter fed and absolute incompetently zero with an entire generation who know no different and actually believe it to be good still, having absolutely no inkling as to what entertaining radio should sound like. This is also happening all over the world as Political Correctness dominates and humour fades or becomes illegal and blandness prevails like a blanket of thick haze. Like banning something, it all goes underground and Social Media has provided that platform.
Radio was/is my passion though and I know many think it was the hierarchy who removed me, because of my antics and humour, but trust me, far far far from it… They were totally unaware, thinking it was me who resigned. If there is a God – retribution will surely prevail, for it was vicious! Though one man will be waiting for them upstairs, ready to dish out the divine punishment they um…er… gravely deserve. Mr. Ahmed Suleiman (father of Hala Ahmed Sulaiman) built Radio Bahrain to its earlier terrific standard, a standard which among us was wrongly diagnosed as amateur at the time, so striving for better content always, we were highly critical of ourselves. It was in fact world class, give or take the odd scruple. Oh, I made some crawl under a rock beauties, but we were aware. Today, it is the blinkered blind leading the blind with no perception of how amateur they come across having no qualified guidance to relate to. Ahmed loved my style from the start and ignored immense pressure to err to safety and blandness. For sure, he will never forgive those who manipulated and endlessly fought him to have me removed and indeed himself from time to time. He well knew the implications and future demise of the platform if he allowed the dirge to overpower him. Since his (forced) retirement and subsequent death (bless) many years ago now, mediocrity has all but destroyed his legacy, but he will always be remembered with great fondness.
But broadcast, be it right up to lunch time of the day of my demise, I guess I will be still at it. TV, Radio and now Social Media or whatever, is where I am and it is too late to change (unless someone offers a fat, no refusal salary vocation change, then I will empty bins, or sweep the streets – if my legs hold out, no worries).
Am I aware of how many follow my dribbles or mini reports or even the documentaries I do. Nah! I assume some incidental notice, here and there, but there is absolutely no delusion of this pseudo pap glitterati and new-fangled word; ‘Influencer’, some of which receive millions for just pointing at a lipstick in a selfie video shot whatever. It is all pish to me and iPhone level media.
Award? One perceives the so-called ‘broadcast standard’ or one doesn’t, it is art. I just love and at the same time hate what I do because of the time it takes to reach what I feel satisfied with. So to get a general award like this, along with the others, who also very much deserve recognition, albeit a very different avenue and style… Yep! It is bang on! I’ve got it and they are NOT having it back!
But did I realize the impact of it? NO! Not at all. I was oblivious until now. If you look at our Social Media accounts, they have gone slightly bananas. Just our Facebook Whodoeswhat.tv channel has lit up. Instagram likes are growing by the second. THANK YOU ALL!! THANK YOU – THANK YOU, we have read every single message and like!
Also a personal huge spot light up for Ahdiya Ahmed who is now leading the Bahrain Journalists Association and bringing them to the fore big time, where this has never really happened before. Ahdiya has always supported me (and others who might be lesser known) and often under some severe criticism and obstruction has had the biggest balls to ignore it and give me almost free reign at TV. With integrity, one must not knowingly break that trust. Of course it is par for the course to rattle someone’s cage in this business.
Many people; names I don’t actually know, all the way up to Royalty, who have gone out of their way to congratulate me, Numerous and incredibly personal congratulations have been received with the genuine warmth of ordinary citizens who may never come into diplomatic or royal circles. In this line of work we of course do by default as we make reports etc. for the Al Hilal Media group magazines and online channels and so on. Whatsapp messages have poured in, some telephoning me or indeed calling over at functions etc. along with others, then offering up congratulations. It is becoming astounding as to how the media surrounding this award has propagated.
Admittedly, I am a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to all this Social Media lingo – and although I might have a Twitter, Instagram et al account which I DON’T use, as I said before, it was NOT me that set them up but the IT wiz and (cough….Forbes Magazine featured photographer of Who Does What.TV,) namely Svetlana Prodanova who happens to be extremely proficient at it and she informed me today that we have gone a bit ‘viral’. I hope it doesn’t hurt. Wow!
The Good Becomes a Bit Ugly
Bloggerhea Star Date 24 : 9 : 2019
I overslept big time this morning. In a panic I rushed to switch on main stream media news. “Homosexual this, Homosexual that, homosexual wipes, Lesbian this, Lesbian that, Lesbian IVF and Greta! Oh and more Greta and then the Oscars.. Oh no sorry, that was still Greta!
Thank God for that… I thought I’d missed something.. Phew!!!!
If a man says it – it is generally not!
Oblivious to their own ideology and carefully manipulated actions, dark forces controlling the so-called ‘other half’, often referred to as the ‘left’, have rendered wholly ineffective all that was acceptable about democracy.
Who doesn’t believe that humans must take care of the planet? At a wild guess, my personal attesting would put it that out of 7.5 billion inhabitants, 6.4 billion don’t have a clue and WTF you are talking about, let alone give a monkey’s banana about saving the planet, by not sh*tting in the street, slaughtering animals by the billion daily or burning whatever they can get their hands on.
The thing is…………. Who reads this anyway? Who actually listens to that bizarre young manufactured Swede? It is pretty arbitrary to suggest that the more developed a nation is, the more pollutants it produces. Not at all sure about Global Warming either, as a direct result of man’s (oops.. people’s) pig ignorance and lack of empathy for the planet. For sure, there must be considerable detriment and this old blue cannot sustain the abuse for ever, whether you believe it in or not.
The great Biased BBC World Service – Bless… just interviewed a Professor Doctor regarding the polar ice melting. (Ice caps or just polar ice?). The announcer slipped in Greenland as well. Deliberate or simple indoctrination, who knows? The Prof. came across as a knowledgeable, amicable, balanced gent as he spoke of sea levels rising. Or….. landmass sinking? Not too much study regarding the latter is there and, if sea level fluctuates, or indeed land height, then what is your reference?
Although perceived as factual without the bile and hype the snowflakes and luvvies are prone to exhibit, when asked what advice he would give dissenters, our Prof. responded with; ‘Well read this report…………”. A somewhat innocently narrow minded and not a particularly savvy media thing to say, since it is the report, the contents of which, many deny.
Before the great minority Twatteratti troll their bile, lissssun up! Either careful specific wording spread by the cult in secret – or genuinely missing a very important point or two; exactly what ice is melting? If it is coastal land based ice of which is in vast quantities the size of say France or bigger, then worry dear folk; worry a lot. Until it freezes over again – and it will. But if we are talking about floating ice, then the story is very different according to basic physics, unless dear Archimedes, Einstein and Isaac were way off.
The Antarctica is largely a land mass, but the Arctic is floating ice. A giant factor that climate change activists and deluded repeaters fail to highlight. Antarctica has rarely if ever been an issue as far as melting ice is concerned, other than on the Western Side where some very small fluctuations have been monitored by NASA. By and large, Antarctica is fairly stable and if anything, getting colder, so poo poo to sea levels rising as a result.
Without nuclear reaction, localized energy is finite and even then, we are pulling on the universe as we know it, assuming the universe is 100% of all energy.
Fed up yet? Yeah, so are non-political level headed scientists. The absolute BS and wholly fake news being spouted by activism for political gain and gross ego. It is just evil pollution in itself. The reality is so far from this pseudo fashionable activism.
Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, your mother or father, your teacher or lover nor I made this up. A ship will displace its own weight in water. FACT!!! Let’s come back to what comes out its funnel in a minute. Take a bath with Rosie O’Donnell and your bath water level will go up (rather a lot) by the weight of Rosie, plus you or how much of your bodies are unsupported by the physical sides. (Difficult to prove because most houses don’t have a big enough bath, but take Archimedes’ word for it). Likewise a floating Iceberg will displace its own weight in water and it will appear that sea levels rise accordingly as finite as that might be. But if we could somehow removed all floating icebergs into space or something, only then will the water level go down. If the iceberg melts, the water level will stay the same. So, a floating iceberg can melt as many times as it likes, but sea levels will not change. Geggyboy’s law: In theory then, no floating icebergs on earth, low water level. Sadly it doesn’t work like that does it, but it is not really a lot to do with icebergs, unless you were on the Titanic. Should Antarctica melt one day, then it would be the last of our worries, because whatever caused that would no doubt wipe us all out before we could reach for the snorkels.
Let’s get into the ‘green house’ gasses which the Professor also mentioned and here is where we need to worry. Although we don’t often hear the words ‘Green House’ any more do we? We’ve all been nobbled long ago and everything is twisted and turned into whitewash to drown and blind us. The sad part is the sheer number of people who fall for and blinkered go along with all this bollocks.
If more H2O is produced on earth in the form of rain (one assumes) by climate change or whatever, i.e. through pollution, chemical poisoning and so on, then sea levels have to rise. Of course, because there is more water and it has to go somewhere. To make more water, we deplete something else as we cannot gain elements, we can only make derivatives. More clouds, less evaporation. Ask Bangladesh! Now if we poke a great big hole in the Ozone layer and the sun comes belting through and all the water gets evaporated, where the hell does it go? It appears to disappear, but it cannot disappear, it is up there somewhere, but perhaps in a lesser form. A bit more H and less O, mixed with a bit of Carbon and we have CO2. Yum Yum said the tree! Take away the 2 and we have a very nasty poison which is being spewed out of every single combustion engine on this earth, including jets which emit a good few more pollutants 6 miles high where there is not much air to mix with it. ‘Formaldehyde’ is one emission, as does every living thing chuck the stuff out, yet just the thought is enough to scare the pants off you with visions of embalming. Formaldehyde is pretty harmless in its life span, but go for it Al, or Greta It is a riveting name so lots of milleage. The other chemicals thrown into the atmosphere from industrialization is a huge worry, because half the time, we don’t know or don’t check what is being churned up. Of course, money talks and much can very easily be suppressed, so back to the 6.4 billion who couldn’t care less. Start addressing that with your tears. Somehow me thinks you wont be doing that in a hurry because it would be..um…er…. hurtful and ‘Politically Incorrect’. The bottom line is that; not only money talks, but gross hypocrisy as well in this Twitter Snowflake blizzard world.
So let’s go electric, problem solved. No emissions. OH wait! How do we make electricity in such volumes? Ok Greta, you win! We all take a leaf out of your Christmas story and live in igloos. Hang on though! We need ice to build igloos and we cannot get ice until the earth atmosphere blocks out the sun and we ice over. Dilemma beyond! Those dinosaurs didn’t have central heating and that might have been because activists 4 million years ago didn’t want them burning coal.
So something has to give. All this rhetoric is just that! Shouting and being rude to who you don’t like politically will change absolutely nothing, because the 6.4 billion folk mentioned earlier have never heard of you, WILL never hear of you before you as a fad disappears. Furthermore they don’t understand what you are talking about. Kim Kardashean gets millions more viewers.
As this media and Fabian indoctrination has severely crippled Europe and the US, with no let up, the big issue is culture. Until the human psyche has adopted the notion of preservation and industrial cleanliness from birth, with schooling ideology as natural as nature itself, then yer Greta’s and Gores are just Hollywood. With stifled third world encroachment and population overload, without the basic education to invent or discover new technology such as ways to fly without leaving an ocean of pollution, or ‘Fusion’ to save us all, then we are on a hiding to nothing and all this Hollywood bollocks is just that. Even if we come up with fusion tomorrow, the same activism will find something to dominate the corrupt media with and pound and hound decent people who want to do something and need ideas and inventions, not steaming piles of bile air because the flock needs a hero so frequently creates one.
We don’t even remotely do enough and continuously create more toxic elements, inadvertently or indeed otherwise. It is a never ending task to make inhabitants environmentally aware, but stop demonizing developed nations with warped hate for individuals who are mere amoeba in the cycle of pollution and destruction. This is not the only audience. Hard core attacking the so far developed world with the ‘How dare you’ garbage. Nations that clean their streets, dispose of waste, attempt in parts to stem pollution. Endless activism, tainted left wing ideology, condoning and championing the third world with oooooz and Aghhhh and sympathy for stifled cultures who junk their own countries while supposedly seeking nothing more than a better life elsewhere in our own so-called polluted countries. Yawn!!!! This activism is severely missing the point and that is blatantly obvious should one visit so many other parts of world and see what pollution and filth is on display.
Viva Le Tricheur! Cheating Reptiles
Viva Viva Viva, they need bringing to heel and NOW! For those far afield, Viva is an arm of the Saudi Telecomms Company operating in Bahrain and around the Gulf. In 2018, Viva purchased a smaller 4G Internet provider by the name of Mena Telecoms, which was previously owned by Kuwait Finance House. Having been a very loyal customer of Mena since its inception more than 15 years ago, the real troubles began when Viva took over. It is a bit like the Hong Kong-China issue, whereby Mena’s independence is being/has been eroded away.
We as a family, company whatever, DO NOT WANT A VIVA subscription, In fact we do not want anything to do with VIVA, but we were forced into it due to ‘Take Over Action’. To my knowledge, nobody, not a single subscriber was offered or indeed challenged Viva to opt out of an existing contract if they chose, for whatever reason, but mainly because they did NOT want to be associated with Viva. Well I did! I was however reminded that the contract is still with Mena, albeit controlled by Viva. Viva will continue to meddle and niggle until the end of those contracts and no doubt eventually decide not to allow anyone to renew a Mena package, instead require customers to switch to a more expensive Viva package. It is not rocket science to assume that Viva’s ultimate goal is to wipe anything related to the name Mena off the face of the earth. After all, the KLM/Air France link up is tenuous to say the least and for Air France to survive, it will surely have to become less French. The psychology of Viva now is really that already. They certainly do give the impression that Mena ‘doesn’t exist’ already.
Furthermore, Viva’s behaviour was predicted many moons ago, in these very columns and blogs on Facebook.
In this post it is Viva who bear the brunt of this hideous fiasco which is allowed to persist in Bahrain.
Once Viva acquired Mena Telecom, it was suspected that the latter’s service will suffer, whereby there might be covert activity to hamper Mena’s access or indeed steal array positioning to better Viva coverage and hamper the Mena signal further. All designed to frustrate Mena customers. Already those who live by the sea, such as the Amwaj island, suffer backside arrays simply because Viva prefer to point them at more dense areas inland. The service in this area now begs the dustbin it is so patchy. This very activity was confirmed by an insider, who is contracted to install and maintain arrays. His words were; “Yes of course we do that, it is our prerogative and you should mind your own business”. Charming Indian fellow at that.
What was not expected was the speed at which the degradation materialized. Within the first week, Mena signal strength degraded. Many times, the Internet went off altogether. The engineers apologized and put it down to network upgrades and that all would be better soon. It wasn’t! Slowly but surely, the network has degraded to the extent that now, it is off more than it is on and that means up to 4 or 5 times a minute sometimes. Not all of that is deliberate with some outside antennas being the new Huawei omni directional device which simply drop out 4 or 5 times a minute sometimes, as they hunt for stronger (or weaker) frequencies. One cannot imagine how bad it is for an internal receiver. (More below).
It is also suspected that with the advent of 5G, within one year, we will see select customer areas have their 4G network deliberately degraded, just as Zain and Viva did with 3G. Batelco did not do this as far as I am aware. No proof is forthcoming, there is no Wikileaks in Bahrain.
For many months now, on making endless calls and registering complaints about this extremely poor service, tickets numbers are ‘deliberately’ not shared by SMS with customers it would seem. This way the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has no evidence when presented with complaints. Not that they do much or appear so customer sympathetic anyway.
After yet one more call to the Mena agent, advising that I was about to cut the line permanently as I had heard nothing for over 1 week, today: 22nd August 2019, a Viva rep. called. Normally we deal with Mena and prefer, because the Viva guys always seem to have an excuse or some edge and never appear to be quite halal. We were not disappointed. The rep’s rapport’ was straight forward: “We will not fix your system unless you sign a new contract”. The end, Amen! Well, don’t beat about the bush there Viva, say it like it is and get to the point. They want to hold you to ransom and at their mercy for another 2 years. It was a recorded call too. Blatant to say the least….. Can you believe it?!? On top of that, it is highly unlikely that Viva will indeed improve the ‘Mena’ reception, again cajoling and haranguing one to change to the more costly Viva. One imagines that the agent’s statement is deemed a ‘threat’ or that if Viva are allowed to do this, it is indeed illegal, but who is going to challenge them?
Oh what a lovely way to induce loyalty with its customers. In the house, we are still on contract until November, bills always paid on time, not much animosity. Viva on the other hand are obsessed with contracts and manipulation, it drives them with venom should anyone dare to challenge their ethics. Worse than those childish Europeans who now throw tantrums for the British Brexit. Fear Viva, fear them muchly for they will imply you are a low-life cheat trying to do ‘THEM’ out of a 2 year commitment should any issues arise. Trigger happy to impose travel bans too for as little as Seven Dinars, a monthly subscription fee. That too cannot be legal, but somehow they get around it with nothing less that a phone call one assumes.
For a while at its inception, Viva took the nation by storm, boasting the ‘Fastest 4G Internet’. Because they have a fibre light pipe linking Bahrain, straight out through Saudi, so their statement was somewhat true! But now it’s just BS. Others had to use either Batelco’s minuscule gateway or struggle with satellites and shared underwater community facilities. In fact, they still do, but clearing, downlink forwarding and distribution has improved from the Gulf generally and we can almost watch an HD Youtube video now without it stalling, except at weekends and late at night.
We speak here of Home Broadband, but of course mobile coverage is almost one and the same. In this area, Mena has/had the strongest reach with the others nowhere near as desirable or optimal. Fibre is being rolled out, but the areas are extremely selective and one is left wondering if politics or religion doesn’t play a large part in which areas get what. In particular the Northern new development areas should have had cables laid when it was just sand a little over 3 years ago. But no, deemed too expensive for Bahrain Telecommunications (Batelco). 10 years of asking, 10 years of ignoring. Now it will be much more expensive to install cable since the area is now built up and has roads, God Bless! Good planning there then Batelco. Even so, when the country is covered in fibre, there is ONLY ONE company offering a Gateway at the end of it…. Sing along now; “Oh chokey chokey chokey. Although it is thought that at least one other company has a licence to lay it as a result of other take overs. But…..why would they bother though and go to all that expense? Batelco are forced to share their cables with all other companies.
There are other entities in Bahrain which could offer super fast MPLS gateway facilities (Multiprotocol Label Switching) to the nation, out to say London or Europe, bypassing the Gulf bottleneck, where IP protocol rejoins the World Wide Web and extremely efficiently at that, but…. and there always is a ‘but’, in Bahrain…. It is highly unlikely for the time being that a wide spread commercial licence will be re-issued under the current government mandate. Tch Tch! Telecoms is keenly watched by the authorities for what they bring in or more to the point; push out! Watched they may be, but only from a current affairs point of view. They are not at all watched for their modus operandi from a customer’s point of view.
In this story, it is Viva who bear the brunt of this hideous fiasco which is allowed to persist in Bahrain. Zain, used to get a very rough ride, but they are pussy cats by comparison these days. Indeed, the corporate psyche and structure between Zain and Viva is completely different, as again it is between those companies and Batelco. Batelco is still the sweetest by far and quite possibly the most efficient by far, not to mention the most approachable in general.
Having experienced Viva’s Marketing and PR personnel in the past, their cocky, dismissive superiority is more than evident, and no doubt reflects the attitude across the entire company. Obviously, so cocky they probably don’t have a department monitoring negative press and even if they do, nobody appears to care. Already it is now over 3 years and we have another on going dispute which Viva cannot win since their own lawyers dismissed the case as ludicrous, but still we get billed electronically 3 or 4 times a day sometimes. Nobody not a single person in any department was concerned or able or willing to deal with our complaint, other than the ‘Call out the Dogs’ department buried somewhere deep in accounts. The fact that we had no service or no device was totally irrelevant.
After contacting the TRA and eventually in seething desperation, sitting in the VIVA building, a management representative nonchalantly descended to see us, bored out of her brain listening to our woes. Albeit a lovely girl, she informed us that she would go back upstairs to ask Management once more, but she knew the outcome; ‘So many people try and cheat us, they sign for a package for 1 or 2 years and then stop paying after a month or so’. She happily suggests we are among those deviants. Is anyone surprised customers fail to pay when Viva fail to offer what is advertised.
The young lady returned very shortly after and informed us that there was nothing we could do as she reiterated; we are considered ‘cheaters’, we must pay 1 year’s subscription despite us having not a single microwave byte over the house, or indeed a device to receive it. In fact, Viva made ‘us’ take the device back to their office the first day because it did not work. They should have collected it. There it stayed and there is where it all began. They already made $200 advance out of us for absolutely nothing. If in Europe, the States or UK, a lawyer would have a field day suing their ass for creating unnecessary stress and trauma threatening court action and sending the hit squad in, in the form of NCS (debt collecting agency) which they do. Incidentally, NCS know no manners and go straight for the jugular without trial. It has certainly raised my blood pressure and perhaps I could claim that it was Viva who stressed me so much I had to have heart surgery during Ramadan in 2017.
5G now, but let’s face it, the three main mobile providers and one Internet provider (The rest share), never got their act together with 3G, never mind 4G. It is not much short of a joke really and don’t hold your breath, 5G will be worse.
It is 2019 and in some areas of this tiny Island of Bahrain, smaller than the Isle of White, these telecom companies present a system not fit for purpose. Shocking, when one can pretty much visit anywhere in Bangladesh and 4G coverage is superb, yet it is referred to as a 3rd World Country and least developed (although it has just risen above that label in 2019).
The blue light means no signal and this flashes as least 3 times each minute and sometimes stays alight for 10-15 seconds. All 3 lights should be yellow/green.
Viva’s new Huawei omni- directional receivers, designed to roam the various frequencies within the cell to eliminate drop-outs, actually cause them. These are not well thought out for Bahrain, where there are tower restrictions. Hence every few seconds, your receiver will hunt and rather than sum, they appear to subtract, leaving the user with no signal.
No problem if you are just browsing, but if on a P2P or watching Television, your signal stalls, often as many as 3 or 4 times within a minute as mentioned. As we approach 2020, this is shameful for a so-called developed nation.
Besides, anything Huawei, is mere cheap plastic all singing – all dancing temporary toys as everything Chinese device generally is. More expensive Ericsson networks built like tanks will surpass anything Chinese.
There must be enough discontented folk/customers to raise an army, all meandering around Bahrain, thoroughly sick to death of this Viva’s and other telecom companies constant underhand modus operandi. Where do they get this attitude from? Viva’s Saudi nemesis and mentors no doubt. Elsewhere in the civilized world, they would be taken to task by the courts, never mind a barrage of Social Media fire which the main stream media will pick up. Unfortunately Bahrain has NO MAIN STREAM MEDIA of any worth.
Imagine if we all descended on Viva’s door step at the same time demanding retribution, the management would just sit on the top floors and throw contents of piss pots over us. Their arrogance is astounding.
Depressed customers, feeling totally helpless as no recourse is available to them, while incredibly arrogant Viva continue to run rough shod and manipulate an extremely passive nation which allows them to do EXACTLY as they please. Furthermore, you are on your own buddy, as the nation quivers with reluctance to challenge.
The few that tolerate my rants will know that I have maintained that the Viva Modus Operandi at management level is nothing short of scam low-life Time-Share mentality. Customers are merely an inconvenience for this privileged conglomerate. No shame! Viva etiquette is now well established among their employees, who no doubt need the job, so go with the flow, fearing any remote sympathy for customers detected will probably be met with termination. There is absolutely Sweet F.A. we as the people, the customers, the payers can do about it! I can blog as much as I like. The anti Viva Facebook pages are full of it, but bad PR seems irrelevant to them.
Of course, many Middle Eastern companies coddle their indifference, never fearing any backlash or comeuppance. It is a Bahrain trait and mindset, whereby lip service is paid to the nation, but individually little faith or acceptance of knowledge or qualification is considered, so who is to argue and we are all friends anyway. But the underlying under estimation is there. Hence Bahraini prefer to be treated medically outside of Bahrain for example, yet there are ‘some’ perfectly good and very talented doctors here. One must assume the telecom companies think the same about their customers. Their tricks and testy behaviour never ends. This latest escapade is yet one more predictable element. ‘Ah, nobody qualified to challenge us, so forget it’ they think! Well I am qualified in the field and I will challenge in anyway that I can. I am also an accredited journalist, recognized by the government of Bahrain. Among other things, new laws state clearly that journalists now have freedom and cannot be prosecuted for naming and shaming when holes have been dug. One hopes that more will highlight now that they are not receiving any advertising revenue this days, which always prevented any critique.
Be worried – be very worried
UPDATE: Afternoon 29th May 2018. After demonstrations (unreported) and media pressure, the ban on reporting the arrest of Tommy Robinson was lifted. The notice was issued with a court explanation as to why he was arrested. As yet, there has been no lifting of the Blackout regarding the Paedophile/grooming/rape case for which Tommy Robinson was reporting.
The moment British justice backfires so badly. An ex policeman reveals; “March as much as you like, nobody will care and nothing will be done. Withdraw taxes, refuse to pay en masse and you’ll soon see results”. The 27th March 2018 might end up a milestone which will have far more significance as the days go on. Who knows how all this is going to pan out, but deep beneath the flower bed is a bubbling caldron which could so very easily end up with blood shed in a country that most imagine such carnage could never happen, but if it does, the repercussions would soil Europe. Then it would not be so attractive to the very essence of the issues right now. Some, but obviously not so many see through it though, whether divine or some other instinct, but clearly know what is going on even if those involved have no awareness that they have been nobbled as such and just bleat regurgitated pap.
A media shut down, a complete black out like has NEVER been seen before. Thousands and thousands of sites removing details and the search engines silent. Facebook, still running some but many gradually disappearing, as with Youtube. It is all about a man put in prison for thirteen months on the very same day he was arrested for what is basically a trumped-up misdemeanour which was carried out in good faith and as a duty to the nation in his eyes. Even harden criminals and murders get bail and trials which come up months and months later. GBH perpetrators who deliberately go out to stab and maim in brawls only get 6 months, often suspended sentences, something that is rife in Britain right now and the government is ignoring it and also covering it up as they did using the made up Russian fiasco. Oh no! 13 months, whipped off the street and incarcerated in minutes. This is bizarre. That part is true, but this might not be so accurate; an official (perhaps the judge) was reported to have replied when the concerned questioned the man’s safety in prison; ‘He made his bed’. Possibly fake news, but no smoke without fire. It might not be exactly what was said, but no doubt based on something on those lines and further exploited, none of it verified as yet.
Love guns or hate them, love Donald Trump or hate him, the American Constitution love or hate it, it is what it is and with it, traditional laws cannot be changed easily, but without it, laws can be changed or manipulated on a corrupt political, egotistical or sexual persuasive whim as they are in Britain, which overrides the very Magna Carta on which they are supposedly based. In fact, politics and media in Britain is so far down the road to ‘absolute power’ that ‘absolute corruption’ is blatantly evident by so many with the most innocent of faces. The immense rise of the detestable Keith Vaz for example when many were aware for so very long, but nothing was done. For God’s sake, he was perpetually elected initially, then given unelected favourable posts as so many do, despite all the rumours. He fell from grace as many will, dead or alive as the Jimmy Saville fiasco demonstrated. Working in the BBC in the very early 70s we all knew what he was like, but nobody thought for a moment that it was endemic within to extremely high positions. Nothing but lip service has been done about it as it is all covered up and no doubt perpetuates as the clique bury their faeces like cats. However, the nation is by and large blind and passive to it having been indoctrinated (dumbed) over the last 40 years, with its now followers very loud, full of bravado and sordid disdain for anyone who thinks otherwise and like true fodder ready to create mayhem believing themselves to be the majority and the status quo. A little message; take it or leave it; you could be very wrong for those who lead you are mere bravado cowards with an agenda and will not back you when the chips are down, they will run.
Is there any different between Tommy Robinson and that lizard now Dame Sharmishta Chakrabarti? ( Baroness for what? Eating her mates after copulating?). Now sitting in the House of Lords making or breaking laws. It is not rocket science and definitely fact; to many more than those who might dislike Tommy Robinson, she is loathed with a far far greater passion, but she is glorified and tolerated and nobody threatening violence on her or pushing or shoving her when she spews her hatred of the very people who have allowed her passage.
This blog is not really about the one called Tommy Robinson as such or Islamic infiltration. Hate him or love him too, or never heard of him. Think what you will of the man or the belief, for within the subject, he is only relative to the point being made and not the initial cause of it. Whatever you feel, Robinson has done you no wrong other than perhaps offend your own beliefs with his enormous gonads; something so few of us have. He just has an opinion which might differ from yours and more importantly has a strong passion to keep Britain’s traditional identity (well he already failed long ago on that one).
He has recently championed justice for the huge gangs of paedophiles who groom, rape and even abduct children when judges order blackouts of any pertaining news. Media outlets take it on themselves, not out of legal fears but on the basis of pure agenda which makes them culpable and condoning. Most likely infiltrators in high positions already, so nothing is going to escape anything detrimental to the deviance. Oh we really have no concept or notion of how big this network is and it doesn’t only involve Muslims, which is the blackout issue here.
So basically, the intention here is to highlight the anomalies within the actual laws and its makers of which Britain currently live under. As is, individuals severely risk being shut down and sent to prison instantly, simply and very primitively because the name ‘Tommy Robinson’ is mentioned when there is an absolute blackout order on reporting anything to do with him or the case. This in itself is incredibly bizarre – bizarre – bizarre, that one person, a judge can issue such a ruling which covers the entire country, every citizen within, it’s media and social networks extending to other subservient platforms in other countries. The story was reported on several sites before removal that; individuals messaging details to each other on the subject was equally illegal. The ruling stops short of allowing one to talk about it, but not transmit it. So we are all mad and just talk to ourselves. Google is deafening by its silence whereby the search engine pulls up absolutely nothing about the case which Robinson was covering. It is a very weird experience, like entering a Ghost town.
In total contrast to the delusion these degenerate officials have, Robinson’s desire to maintain some traditional British identity is absolutely no different in any Islamic country, as for sure they go to even more incredible extremes to maintain their traditions and beliefs. Ironically, the general consensus in the Middle East is that Britain and Europe are absolutely mental allowing such a ludicrous state of affairs. So odd really, for those who speak loudly and aggressively for the so called ‘minorities’ and whatevers have absolutely no idea or remote perception of what half the people they champion think themselves. Of course, the misconception that all Muslims are Arab is so far off the wall as to be laughable. The majority of the issues here are of Pakistani descent and this somehow creates a massive defence net where no one is allowed to mention it. A bit like Liverpudlian or indeed black comedians; they are hilarious making jokes about themselves, but if anyone else remotely takes the piss, all hell breaks loose.
To facilitate this scenario displays the total arrogance and misadventure of the Fabian ruling class Britain is under. Come to the Gulf region and learn some real hands-on insight. Many travel to the region to take up jobs or whatever, soaked in Political Correctness, instantly assuming that they are superior in their outlook and that the indigenous will follow their doctrine and incitement without question, arrogantly assuming that locals are afraid to speak out or critique. In some respects, they are, but as for Political Correctness, take a jump. These newbies praise their hosts and heap great affection on them as if they know them inside out. They become mini celebrities in a closed loop. It is pathetic to watch, but it happens regularly, until; suddenly they take a very hard fall when they realize that the locals are pretty hardy generally, somewhat naturally racist without knowing what that is and couldn’t give a flying fart about watching what they say to a fat person and so on. Locals will not be influenced in the slightest by your weird missionary like activity. However, in Britain and much of Europe it is like an induction camp in real life. No, not the immigrants, the indigenous have to appease and take on the cloak of the stifled cultures. That in itself is beyond ethereal.
The British PC infection which emanated from the USA but got very twisted on the way is simply taken full advantage of by the very people they arrogantly think they are molly codling. But that is by the by, for it gets so much uglier as the power grows and the masses are subdued.
Tommy Robinson has cleaned his act up to a phenomenal level compared to his early days on the scene which actually alienated many ordinary folk, no matter their concerns. Robinson doesn’t always come across as intelligent, mainly because of his accent and his assumed ‘traditional’ following which are a pretty raw bunch of true Brits if you like who are not your enemy. However, if you take the time to listen to his coverage, it is blatantly obvious that the man has a great deal of nous and can be quite succinct at times, as he highlights the very things that so many people actually think to themselves but will never dream of uttering publicly. The very thing that makes Donald Trump so popular yet hated with such incredible venom by the same clan we speak of here.
Stay as you are, no problem, but if you read this and have been party to the rhetoric in fashion thinking you are somewhat intellectual because you are regurgitating what the media and its cronies constantly bang out ad nauseam like wind up set-phrase dolls, then step back and look at yourself. You are being manipulated. You are indeed the ‘Useful Idiot’. If you like being that, you have every right to continue, but think about it and give others the openness and freedom to think as they wish as well and not go along with the doctrine. In other words, don’t make abstract laws to suit yourself, rather don’t make laws at all. Don’t create the animosity in the first place, which is what has been done incredibly successfully at that. Hitler rose to power the same way and the majority of people didn’t see it coming. Eventually, the 1984 syndrome will prevail and even those who now ostensibly are the subject of protection and love, will be exterminated because it is near impossible to remove a faith- just ask the Russians.
The idiosyncrasy of banners waving ‘Freedom of speech’ held high by swathes of Muslims in the UK only applies to what restrictions apply in mind captivity. To others it only applies to a doctrine which complies to a manifest, such as often taught in universities with so-called intellectual professors who lean heavily towards some sort of Fabian totalitarianism, deluded that this is intelligence fostering and the bringing about of an ‘equal society’ levelled at the Lowest Common Denominator’.
It is much the same across Europe, the deviance having been ingrained now in schools and university, with the nations pummelled into oblivious submission by extremely deviant media. Nice people by and large with solid morals to some extent but completely drugged into the oblivious by exceptionally devious and some must say ‘intellectual’ manipulation. Until those in power are challenged by the very fodder they control (and they will be one day), then they will do absolutely everything and anything to stay in that seat. Surely this reminds you of some other states and certainly history where communism is concerned. To call someone a Nazi in reference to the Reich for any even minute activity is just parrot political tactics heaped on the receptive and indeed susceptive, to garner adherence because it is simple rhetoric and easy for the masses to understand (or so they think). Yet, the likes of Stalin, Pol Pot and on and on who exterminated millions, are all tied to communism and somehow not Nazi. They are Fascists of course! Now that word is NEVER EVER to be uttered in relation to the Fabian/Marxist thinking, but they are indeed obsessed fascists to the extreme and the same fate will eventually be incurred to those who do not adhere once total power has totally corrupted.
Without revolution of some kind, a Donald Trump could simply not rise to power in the UK. It is just impossible under the current extremely corrupt system of governance at present.
Back down to earth you’ll witness volumes upon volumes of trolls everywhere, calling anyone who disagrees vile names. Racist is the most common, yet what is ‘racism’, a thing manufactured and manipulated by this very clan. Humankind are naturally racist, and no amount of cajoling or manipulation will ever change that. But then, a lot of it anti sematic, but that’s ok, perfectly acceptable. Call a Christian a nut case, even accuse them openly of paedophilia if you like, cameras rolling everywhere and nothing will happen to you, nobody cares. But mention the perp being Muslim and the wrath descends. Ban anyone who questions this obscenity from entering the country. Dutch politicians who have a different opinion and Canadian Lauren Southern who openly disses the numerous trolls who descend on to her every vlog. It is hilarious in some respects but deadly worrying in others. Just the very mention of anything Islamic or racially profiling by observing that someone happens to be black and the wrath of hell descends up on you wherever you are or whatever you are doing, yet the trolls rave on with racist bile directed at the indigenous as if achieving some sort of sexual climax by posting unintelligent garbage and being noticed, knowing the hierarchy is with them and being free from prosecution. Of course, anyone who brings the subject up is a conspiracist or a nutter.
It is like a fad and fashion gotten out of control. and social workers and the police who find all this bloated, hideous Political Correctness a minefield to which they are terrified to enter. What sort of country is it? Health and safety, you must not touch a desperately injured being in case of some contamination but wait until a quango of qualified bodies appears in green overalls with yellow strips. It is not their fault, they do a brilliant job often no thanks job, but you might have been able to save that life if you had tried. You WILL be imprisoned or sued huge wads for challenging a burglar or a mugger who ends up injured or insulted while robbing you, for that burglar has more rights than the victim in Fabian doctrine – until the complete takeover of course. You cannot question someone’s faith, you cannot now mention a criminal’s name if he or she is of the Islamic faith. We must reduce the complexity of exams to equalize all opportunity (very dangerous but fact); we cannot have a perceived ‘Right Wing’ radio or TV channel. You can do very little that the clan don’t want you to do under British law, but with a constitution you can.
Before the mid 70s, there was no such thing as ‘journalism’ as a trade, it was set up and manipulated, so now almost all journalists are naturally left wing without knowing it. The London School of Economics is so agenda soaked it oozes out the woodwork. It is the same with Health and Safety, the same with the burgeoning security industry, oh don’t they just love terrorism as it gives them this ego drenched authority and they exploit it everywhere. All so counterproductive when nobody ever looks at the root cause of troubles and the obscene hassles we all go through when travelling. All this emanated from the Middle East, but warped influence obscures it. For sure, this cult will eventually fall fowl of their own stupid bigotry.
Stories do get out, but only abstractly in the form of art. The first series of the BBC’s ‘Scott and Baily’ featured a Muslim gang of groomers, without ever mentioning their faith and riveting it was too. It was of course based on a real case. Very well done.
It is all so topsy-turvy; a British conservative party which is about as conservative as Hugo Chávez and his followers. showing very obvious favour to a certain persuasion and being incredibly lenient at times for horrific morality crimes, plus the complete media blackout of criminal cases regarding paedophilia gangs grooming and raping children and banning anyone entering the country who might not follow their doctrine, yet they cry crocodile tears about the Middle East. Boris Jonson meets Erdogan and not a mention of the Reich evolving.
Remember the Belgian fiasco which went deep into the Judiciary and the clan removed any voice to the contrary which might have exposed the depth of this depravity across borders. No, of course you don’t because it has all been so subtly suppressed. Sadly, not many Brits seem that interested… Why? Because they didn’t read about it in the press or the grossly, morally corrupt BBC didn’t report it as didn’t any other media. In this latest blackout, even Russia Today felt threatened and abstained, but normally they will report even a gathering of just 3 people holding some anti-establishment banner somewhere. It is complete silence and it is deafening. Google is dead, search ‘Paedophilia gang Leeds Crown Court’ and see what comes up. Nothing! Search: Tommy Robinson arrested for reporting on the outcome of the court case and you will find very little and becoming less as the days go on with platforms removing reports. That and no doubt individuals will be shut down imminently.
For almost 40 years now the ruling Fabian Marxist clan with all its inbuilt deviance has taken root and dominate just about everything we wake up to see, feel, touch and eat every morning. It is like a stifled religion. then we, already dumbed and silenced live in subliminal fear of being put in jail quicker (within hours) than those on trial for any other pure criminal acts and murder even. It surely reminds you of certain dictatorial passages in history and some alive and well today. Yet, this very oblivious clan who number now in millions and through generations deem anyone who speaks out for truth and freedom to be a NAZI. Yes it is bizarre. It is more than bizarre actually – full stop! That in 2018 people all over the world are still talking ‘FREEDOM’ with freedom marches as if so many of us are physically locked up. Well, we are to a great extent but not so much physically in most places, but our minds have been padlocked.
