WHO'S AGENDA ARE WE BUYING INTO ?

" United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned Terry Jones [Florida Pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville] over his planned burning of the Qu'ran on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks ".

In an interview with CNN, Jones said that he’s “weighing” his decision as U.S. General David Petraeus also urged Jones not go through with burning .
. The Vatican put in their two cents by saying the burning would be “outrageous and a grave gesture.”

United Nations Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie stated during a news conference that she would never support Jones’ move because it would create even more religious hatred. Jolie added that she had “hardly the words” to describe how much she opposes Saturday’s event.

Let’s take a look at what all this hullabaloo was all about. Pastor Terry Jones , a hitherto insignificant self-styled pastor with almost no formal religious credentials and a minuscule following in an otherwise peaceful small-to-mid-sized American city who posted a college-kid style flaming comment on Facebook about burning copies of the Koran. It could, and should, have remained totally buried in the mountainous pile of similarly festering garbage posted on that site. But it didn’t.

It went viral on the site, and then the press made the monumental and irresponsible mistake of picking it up and actually reproducing its content, that which thrust it down the throats of the whole of the American public in hours despite its total banality. Jones was subsequently courted and then hounded by the sensationalist American press, TV and cable media as if he had done something exceptional.

Those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan must be furious about this because they are the ones who risk the most from any retaliation engendered by it. And incidentally, where is the American right, normally so prompt to criticize anything published in the press which may put “our boys” at needless risk?

The fault for this debacle lies squarely upon the shoulders of the American press and citizen " journalism ", which have deliberately milked this story for every hit and dollar they can get, throwing all their standards out the window in the process. Instead of giving these incidents the much more limited, measured, thoughtful and less inflammatory coverage they should have, they went recklessly overboard.

THE CULT OF INFOTAINMENT IS TAKING OVER AND MANY GOVERNMENT'S WORLDWIDE ARE BUYING INTO IT , NOT TO MENTION THE SHEEPLE WHO READ IT .............. GET A GRIP FOLKS .... NOT EVERYTHING IS ACTUALLY NEWSWORTHY


HERE'S WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED

WORLD BREATHES EASY AS SAD LITTLE MAN DECIDES HE'S HAD ENOUGH ATTENTION

Pastor Terry Jones said he would return to exploiting workers in his faith-based furniture business after getting the entire planet to stop what it was doing and listen to his idiotic nonsense for over a week.

He said: "That was remarkably easy. In fact it sort of feels like a wasted opportunity. Oh well.

"I don't suppose anyone would like to buy a dining table?"

But as Jones went back to being a lonely fruitcake, thousands of other people who represent no-one unveiled their plans to be phoned-up by President Obama and told they are a threat to world peace.

Bill McKay, from Grantham, said: "I've just set up the Global Church for Love and Freedom. At the moment it's me, my blow-up wife, our two beautiful DVD players and my invisible friend Stephen.

"It's currently based behind my fridge, but we are hoping to move to the downstairs lavatory if Stephen brings along some of his chums.

"Anyway, this weekend, as an act of protest, myself and my wife are going to set fire to this drawing of Buddha because I hate Buddha. His values offend me and he is also the Devil.

"Now, which microphone would you like me to speak into? Shall we start by talking about the kind of person I am and what motivates me?"

Helen Archer, founder of the International Centre for a Global World, currently based on the passenger seat of her Honda Jazz, said: "To mark the 164th anniversary of the invention of the sewing machine, I am going to take an electric sander to this statue of the Virgin Mary, because it looked at me strangely.

"I will not back down until Princess Anne takes me to see Toy Story 3 and buys me a strawberry Cornetto."
