BBC journalist makes astonishing admission that Greek people have lost faith in mainstream media

From: Greek state starting to lose grip on functions of state, by Paul Mason, BBC
“This is my third blog post in 24 hours from here, and at the risk of repeating myself, I think the level of mismatch between perception and reality within the Eurozone is worrying. Because last year’s protests were mainly leftist; and the strikes mainly token, a pattern of thinking has emerged that dismisses all Greek protest as essentially this.
But a new situation is emerging: Greek people I have spoken to are beginning to express things in terms of nation and sovereignty – and this makes the Greek situation different, for now, to Ireland and Portugal.
While the centre right New Democracy would probably win any snap election, it is hard to find support for pro-austerity politics among ND’s natural support base, the business class. Because austerity for them means getting hammered with a tax bill the like of which they have never dreamed, nor indeed paid.
And I will repeat the point about hostility to the media: it’s not a problem for me and my colleagues to be hounded off demos as “representatives of big capital”, “Zionists”, “scum and police informers” etc. But to get this reaction from almost every demographic – from balaclava kids to pensioners – should be a warning sign to the policymaking elite. The “mainstream” – whether it’s the media, politicians or business people – is beginning to seem illegitimate to large numbers of people.
As one old bloke put it to me, when I said: “Don’t you want us to report what’s happening to you?” – “No.”
He was quite calm and rational as he waved his hand in my face: “It’s too late for that.”

“As Mr. Yakub continued to preach for converts, he told his people that he would make the others work for them. (This promise came to pass.) Naturally, there are always some people around who would like to have others do their work. Those are the ones who fell for Mr. Yakub’s teaching, 100 per cent.” — The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, chapter 55 of Message to the Blackman in America titled “The Making of Devil”
“Three blessings a Jewish man is obligated to pray daily: ‘(Blessed art Thou,) Who did not make me a gentile; Who did not make me a woman; and Who did not make me a slave.’” — Babylonian Talmud, Menahot 43b–44a
The story of the Jewish American experience that most Jews want to believe, and want the world to believe, is one of almost endless historical victimhood. They insist that they fled anti-Semitic oppression in Europe, landing safely on Ellis Island long after the Civil War’s end in 1865, and certainly some did. … continue

The mainstream news media, the political classes, and the large corporations in much of the world are simply owned by the Global Banking Cartel families. They ARE illegitimate! And the masses are beginning to wake up to this fact.

I just read a piece written by a man I respect immensely that calls those of us who ‘simplify’ this global CORPORATIZATION by the Rothschilds as ‘infantile’, and was a bit taken aback by that characterization of what is the essence of truth about who this is done for and why it is being done.
The Bilderberger meetings are more or less Rothschilds quarterback huddles for the wannabe illuminati boyz n gurlz who think they’re the movers and shakers, but in fact are just the grease between the wheels and the rails maybe…nothing more than that.
Estulin was partly right in a way because he was perhaps trying to state that seeing the process of power consolidation is maybe far too important than to gloss over it and blame place directly on the source of the globe’s misery, which is the Rothschilds banking monopoly, directly.
Even the Warren Buffett’s and the Bill Gates of this world are mere ‘punks’ in comparison to the 570 plus TRILLION in holdings of Rothschilds. I guess I have one question for the New World Order fomenting bankers, and it’s simply this one:
“When you get it all, and I do mean, by this, you’ve evicted every single one of us from our homes, taken all of our life’s savings, and rendered us all SERFS with no further illusions about being middle class or for that matter, of anything but the PROLE class, then what?”
“after destroying the planet with your false flag operations, and your raping and pillaging of all of the resources, and the natural environment, then wha?”
What is left then, a burnt out cinder of a radioactive poisoned hulk planet that even you cannot live on, after you’ve killed all of us off. Sure doesn’t sound too very worth patting yourselves on the back over then. You’ll have to get your own grubby hands dirty then, won’t you fuckers? Won’t you? There won’t be any of us left to do your slave work for you, so you’ll have to go out into the radiation filled fields and go harvest your own crops and grow your own food. None of us will be left to do it when you crawl out of your bunkers as the food will eventually run out, and so will the water.
Then what, assholes? Then what?
