The following video is solid gold and should be seen by everyone.
The following opinion is not criticism of the speaker or organization she represents.
If I had to speak to that committee and had that exact amount of time, I would likely have made the exact same points she made, and omitted the points I will list below, as to raise the issues I would like to make in point form would make them appear discreditable as well as myself as the speaker. So her speech in that video is indeed masterful.
Still, I would like to explain why her observations are the least of the issues with the CBC, even though one could argue that these issues below are a subset of the fact that they are state funded media.
The CBC is clearly an engine of (dialectical) destruction for all things Canadian and all things civilizational. In fact, when you accept that the motive of the CBC is to destroy, everything they do makes sense. Once again, the opposite of Hanlon’s Razor explains far more than the razor itself.
For a decade or more, the CBC promoted the narrative, championed as I recall as a life long Canadian by far left wing extremists and elite wealthy fruit fly scientist, David Suzuki, that the world was coming to an end due to “nuclear winter”. This was because in a Simpsons like, Mr. Burns fashion, industrial air pollution, the same stuff they now say is causing Global warming, will blot out the sun and cause us to go into a catastrophic ice age.
Ok. So maybe, the rational observer might say, they were wrong then and they are correct now. If that is the case, why is it impossible to find any CBC clips on Nuclear winter? They broadcast material on it constantly. Dozens or hundreds of speeches by Suzuki. If you search for Nuclear Winter on YouTube all you get is one short clip by Leonard Nimoy during his attempt to distance himself from his Star Trek character.
Which itself is ironic since they clearly chose that actor because of his character’s gravitas as a cold rational scientist, would add credibility to the notion of Nuclear Winter.
This indicates that they know they were lying. Had they just changed position because of new information, one would think they would correct the record. Not fully Winston Smith it out of existence. Which given the internet, is quite a feat.
This site has extensively detailed CBC’s attacks on the public throughout Covid. They invented experts who supported and amplified state narratives, while taking established experts who questioned these measures and assisted the state in everything from shadow banning them to defrocking and destroying them in star chamber like hearings like the various colleges, as well as the media. The CBC’s direct involvement in attempting to destroy Helen Grus, the Ottawa police detective is proof alone of their agenda as an agent of state destruction of a free west. They blackmailed the Ottawa Police force to do something about Helen’s investigation into something like 8 dead nursing infants in one week after the Vaxx roll out included pregnant and nursing mothers to see if there was a connection. The CBC threatened to tell the parents of the dead infants that she was looking into that possible connection.
(It is possible that one could say it wasn’t blackmail exactly as they published their story anyway. However I had heard that the author was forced in a law suit to retract some or all of what at least one CBC article said about her and the circumstances.)
As we have written extensively on this case, and a full detailed account can be found at RAIR as well as at https://donaldbest.ca there is no need to detail this much more here. But suffice it to say that what Helen did, which is to examine if the mothers of the dead infants had recently had an injection of an untested novel gene therapy that even Pfizer’s own documents stated should not be given to pregnant or nursing mothers, was a rational line of inquiry for a police officer who’s actual job was dealing with infant and child harm.
For the sake of those who haven’t read this site during Covid, one common CBC, CTV and Global Tactic would be to bring on politicians or anti-state actors from various related government bureaucracies and appear to challenge them on covid measures by asking why they didn’t do even more harsh measures and take away more rights than they have. This gave the illusion of speaking truth to power while in fact allowing a nascent totalitarian state to appear benevolent. Sort of like the Islamic god ‘Allah’, who they consider merciful as he doesn’t screw you over as hard as he could. This is also a standard Soviet tactic as well as appointing state approved experts to ‘represent the people.’
CBC and the other state media also obtained hacked information from Give Send Go about who contributed to a perfectly legal and rational protest against the forced use of experimental genetic therapy shots and other loss of constitutionally guaranteed rights, and then directly emailed the people who’s information had been leaked and asked them questions about their participation in anticipation of writing defamatory articles about them. Cleverly, they elected in the end not to do publish that particular line of attack. But the emails were indeed sent to those who contributed to the Freedom Convoy, and the questions where less journalistic, meaning asking genuine questions about why they felt they needed to support this protest, that they were the opening salvo in a Maoist struggle session. as well as opening them up to further state actions.
So defunding the CBC from our point of view is really just the most obvious first step.
Then the criminal trials must begin. After all, as state paid ‘journalists, they would have a fiduciary duty to inform Canadian citizens of the facts in order to allow Canadians to make the best choices in their own interests, and not submit to lines of operation of the state.
And that has at least a civil penalty attached to it, but can also be criminal.
Sadly there is no real free press anymore.
Goverment funded or Corporation funded these are your two options.
Because….nobody is willing to pay for something that is to certain degrees available for “free”. (Aka corporation or government funded media.)
Subscribe to online news?
Option but most are unwilling. So either it works or not.(Usually not.)
Also how to provide it? Via phone?
Then an application will be devised for it, from which you might get more money by selling your subscribers data than via subscriber fees.
(In which case you will not really be incentivised to run a proper media or journalist company, but one that generates visits. In which case….it is not news you will be providing.)
So sadly currently the market is not really supporting “free press”.
(There are also other obstacles but it would take too long to list them all.)
Free press died along with the newspaper.
