Galloway on Celebrity Big Brother

[paul wright]

I was going to put this on my previous media thread but it seemed to risk conflating yet more threads and ideas so here goes
The tabloids are having their go at Galloway as expected, but the 'serious' press appears keen to join in
http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article337780.ece

Curses on you George for drawing me into something I've studiously avoided since watching the first BB ever

Still with regards to George, I've got to admit these Tavistock Institute-style psychologists advising CBB are quite good.
What role have they got Gorgeous George in? white-coated 'lab technician' overseeing and technically in charge on the ground of various 'psychological experiments' on behalf of BB

Now Faria seems a nice enough person, albeit a celebrity mostly for fellating a couple of FA grandees, but there she is crying after being encouraged by George to take another little bite of spinach from the cartload of spinach she has been forced to eat every quarter of an hour for two hours. "Take your cart with you- you've got to have your cart with you at all times" advises George, as she dashes to the toilet feeling sick and *

And then there's the rather innocuous young bloke Preston, who had to eat 50 something chocolate liqueuers in a given time, and was intermittently puking whist being encouraged by George to keep at it

And then there was George spokespersoning for the group against the scapegoated and isolated boobs-out lady Jodie
Am I making too much fuss on this?
Do I find it mad that genuine if mild torture is being carried out on British TV presided over by Galloway on behalf of a showtime Big Brother

Is this not something a little worse than the fictional justification of torture on '24' and 'Spooks'?

And George Galloway is white-coated and in control of all these little 'experiments', and going along with it in the style redolent of those Stamford University (?) torture experiments of yore, only he can see the suffering is real? This big antiwar anti-establishment rebel?

And then we've got that keynoting Lycopodium (for homeopathy fans) Michael Barrymore, playing it large for the crowd and booing in private and in confessional with BB, and he's got a weird history where that body that ended in his swimming pool was apparently violently sodomised after it arrived in the hospital mortuary

Apologies if I'm promoting the trivial here, but this dark surreal mind-* is being promulgated to quite a number of the ignorant, and from passing discussions with some of these people they have no idea what is going on

[who murdered di ?]

You write, "Still with regards to George, I've got to admit these Tavistock Institute-style psychologists advising CBB are quite good. " But `dh` these Tavistock Institute-style psychologosts must submit to if you see dead people then you are delusional and/or hallucinating ! ! ! Hence why Sigmund Freud changed his belief from paranormal beliefs to delusions of the belief of the paranormal as tavistock ("government") paid him large grants to change his "opnions" !

I haven't watched CBB but given that any political content is being editted out, the Gorgeous one seems to have scored an own goal on this one. I see v little benefit and a lot of risk from him appearing on the show

Hi wmd, I've pondered your comment a number of times and still dont quite get it
Still I ponder my little vial of salvia and hope to join you on that plane soon

[spockpanda]

I agree with what you said about CBB dh.

What you described (what went on) was utterly abhorrent. The Media's complete failure to condemn this speaks volumes.

Taking into account his stalinist past to volunteer to go into Big Brother is no big leap. Which work environment has George ever worked in apart from Parliament? Toying the line and following the rules were part of his 35 year career in the Labour Party. He was booted out, he didn't create a split. As such Big Brother is his right place, following rules. The only one so far with any inkling of undermining the house is Pete. George may have got frightened since his appearance at the US Senate. They may have threatened him if they aren't planning worse as two Labour MP's have died recently.

I hate to go on about this trivial *, and I'm lagging way behind having had more interesting things to do, still I'm trying to keep up with George's case because he does or did have some kind of meaningful position in the antiwar movement, and drawn by Alex Jones in interview, did appear to concede that the Bush regime could initiate further 'terror attacks' to further their agenda and so on
So why did George in the last nominations finger former Baywatch babe Traci?
Because of her "extreme vegetarianism". Not only meat, but milk, eggs, cheese are excluded. wtf she's virtually a vegan . And this at a time of manipulated shortage of food supply.
How disloyal to the group!
These 'extremists' must be dealt with
I look forward to George's vision of the collective society coming to fruition
Not so different to the current manifestation
And this before the twisted racism conundrum which was even more beautiful to behold
Perhaps I'll pester you with that in due course

[paul wright]

I thought to let this absurd thread die a natural death so ignore it by all means
But there is some meaning within the BB household
The scenario revealed on tonights show was almost magical in its subtext hype
The two youngest members of the household, representing those to whom George most hoped to appeal, were serendiptously picked out to play 'Banking Executives' in a Bankers game. These had a 'secret club' which they werent allowed to reveal to the other housemates
On the other hand the other housemates had video knowledge of the 'secret club' which they weren't allowed to acknnowledge to those two
The two instantly created sides were instructed to play games, the rewards of which created absolute conflict as to the results
You'd have to have watched it to understand this
Anyway the subtext is
Chief Bankers presented as manipulating lying b******
Executive Bankers as Jews
Bankers having an exclusive secret club (Bohemians) and lying to defer knowledge of its existence
Multi-sexual level sharp-witted Pete (Illuminati in this context - even the tongue does the snake thing over those ruby red accidental lips with the constant protrusion) winds the common bankers up against the brazen hard-faced lying executives = Jews especially to his good mate George
In the eventual exposure, George (equals Arab-loving thus Jew-hating) condemns Preston and Chantelle as shifty-eyed lying manipulative scum of the worst kind, and then George feels compelled also to turn on the somewhat offensive Barrymore in a way that leaves one feeling Barrymore is almost saintlike
George has proved himself so easily manipulated within this microcosmic environment, that he seems most easily transferable to the fascist context, which lets Blair off the hook amongst those bleakly accepting the subliminal message
This is important because guilt by association
The conspiracists must build away from the left-wing war movement because it is so open to the game
We must thank Endemol for demonstrating this

I have watched BB very occasionally just on the off chance of seeing Galloway in action - and the other night I did by chance, wearing his blue, skin-tight all-in-one leotard. Oh God what a fool! Personally I can't stand 'celebrities' and I certainly can't stomach voyeurism reality shows where the producers go out of their way to set people against other people just for our entertainment. As far as I am concerned Gorgeous George has burnt his bridges with the 9/11 Truth Movement. I sent him a copy of In Plane Site back in September 2004 with a detailed covering letter and his response, after badgering him for one for over six weeks with e-mails, was that he didn't have a DVD player and that I was wasting my time. I don't like being rude about someone, but he is nothing but a self seeking, bullying individual with whom we should have absolutely nothing to do with.

Anyone see Icke on Wogan last night? Now that's what I call a solid performance.

Made Terry look like an utter doil.

Rock on David.

There is a media campaign against Galloway but the target isn’t Galloway.

You can tell this because Labour Chief Whip, Hilary Armstrong, put a motion against Galloway in the Commons. She complained that he couldn’t do his job because he was in the Big Brother House. The motion was thrown out. But she must have known it would be. That is, the motion was a public relations exercise. This is evidence of a planned media campaign against Galloway rather than spontaneous anger.

What is the likely outcome of the media attacks? People who don’t like him will continue not to like him. People, who support him, despite reservations, will continue to support him. But his appearance will raise his profile among ‘non-political’ young people. This is what they fear. But also the attacks may have an effect on other MPs, political leaders and the public. The campaign tells political leaders that this is what will happen to you if you oppose our agenda. It keeps them in line. The campaign also promotes fear among the general public so that they don’t support people like Galloway.

The media will become an important tactic for the elite to control future party politics. Their political agenda is to create a ‘centre’ party that promotes neo-liberal policies. That is, a reconfiguration of party politics with Labour, Tories and Lib Deems splitting and creating a new party. David Cameron is the first step in that agenda. The elite wants the rest of us to have no choice other than voting for this party. They the party to stay in power for a generation.

But nonetheless, there is likely to be a Left party with union support that could win significant support from the public. Therefore, the elite have to create means to stop people from backing the Left party. The media is one tactic and hence the attack on Galloway.

The other is the attacks on civil liberties and the growth of a surveillance society. The elite has to demonstrate to the public that authoritarian means will be used against out-groups. These out-groups are campaigners, the Left, dissidents, union activists, poor people, black people and people who occasionally campaign against the Government on issues such as airport runways or fathers’ rights. The elite wants to get rid of liberal means of dealing with such groups and use authoritarian means. But the point is to have the public see that they can get away with authoritarian means. Thus, people who protest against the arms trade get an Asbo. People who read the names of the Iraq dead near Parliament (without a licence) are arrested. If the Left group does public campaigning the elite uses police state tactics to stop them. The elite then tells the public that they are being watched. This instils fear among the public who then will seek to distance themselves from such groups.

The elite have given up on Galloway. They tried smearing him once and it backfired spectacularly. It only made him popular in the US and won others over in the UK. We see that The Daily Telegraph lost their attempt to reverse the £150,000 libel award. The Guardian (The Guardian is a * awful paper) comes up with this phoney front page about Serious Fraud Squad investigation. If they had serious evidence against him, the senator Galloway humiliated would be shouting about it from the rooftops. That is, they know they are fighting a losing battle against Galloway. But, it’s other political leaders and the rest of us that they want to whip into shape.

That's a super analysis - thanks!

Do you have any idea or thoughts as to how he was cajoled or encouraged to go on BB? Or was it simply for that money stuff again?

I heard Galloway's media adviser late last night on Radio 5 Live. She gave a position view of Galloway's BB effort. She said he was reaching young people, although she didn't give much evidence for this. She said a series of public meetings was being organised for GG.

I think his media adviser suggest he go on it. I remember Clinton sought to avoid the bias, editoiralising and mediation of the US national press and their commentators by going to local newspapers, who'd be less critical of him. I think this is the strategy.

I saw a blog of an Oxford Labour Party member. She was scathing of GG. But half the comments were supportive and half attacked him.
