My piece below may seem to be catering for the nieve or simple-minded who see the world
with a selfish set of values where nuance and negotiation have no place. We use expressions
like 'not all...' and 'in my opinion...' because of the need to explain that what we say is a
generic view and not written in stone.
If an error is made on a fact or a perception is offered where specifics are not accurately
displayed, the 'soupçon' mistake is seized upon to argue about and the overall opinion is
lost in a mire of 'what you said was...' instead what an opponent of the offered opinion knew
really what was meant.
It's a symptom of the addiction to the Blue Pill!
We live in a world where narrative composition -especially in word-form, goes unnoticed,
where unwanted information that must be shown to imply fairness, is placed in the middle
of an article so that the impact of a sensational headline is maintained and the real forced
suitable message is kept until the end of the story.
That way, the reader or viewer forgets the unwanted information and gobbles down the
pudding!
This is what many of today's social-media and facets of Journalism are hanging onto.
In blogging forums, they meander with 'whataboutery' and other tools of persuasion to
craft an opinion that hold hidden agendas.
All I can say at this point is I do not have an agenda, I am merely an observer.
It seems the current vogue of debate is forced in the manner suggested above and I mean
no disrespect in the wording here to those who can see beyond what the mainstream media
shovel in our direction everyday.
I would dare to state that every person on this planet has a point of view based on their
belief-structure and how they've wittingly or unwittingly been moulded by the society or
environment they exist in. And if that same planet agrees that one individual's views are just
as important as another's, then surely a overall common ground can be reached, yes?
Detente is always needed and when an accord is reached, it is usual that the minority
begrudgingly cede -to some extent, to the majority because commonsense prevails through
the logic that a greater-good tends to benefit the greater amount of people.
In essence, that's what Rogue Nation was formed for... nobody gets left behind!
Usually, the majority gets it's message out via the conduits of the media and the message
becomes the agreed backbone of the masses that other beneficial ideas can be attached
to.
The media are an important part of this communication and the act is symbiotic, the community
gets to hear what others are thinking and the media benefits financially by growing it's readership.
In these days of the internet and social media, the established 'Fourth Estate' is under increasing
pressure of being drowned out.
So why is it that when the people of France cry out in one voice that the establlishment that
they've believed in for so long is no longer vaiable, the media are reluctant to extrapolate the
opinions of someone a majority of the the French voted for?
A chosen political party has many strings to it's bow and the leader of group isn't the person
who steers it's views, he or she is merely the conduit to the public they're supposed to represent.
Again, my writing may seem obvious, but I'm alarmed by how the mainstream media will not dwell
on and debate the idea of a genuine discussion of a particular candidate.
Marine Le Pen's National Front came second on the first vote and with Emmanuel Macron only
claiming around two percent more than the only female in the election, I'm just surprised at the
lack of discussion on what many French citizens are obviously desire and are showing by voting
for Ms. Le Pen.
Her party's views may not be the most 'cosmopolitan' but if we can debate gender-assignment,
US President's Trump's tweets and the strife of living in a migrant camp, surely the same public who
voted for Marine Le Pen must be confronted with a fair narrative from the media?
The BBC states what she wants:
...........................................................
*Negotiation with Brussels on a new EU, followed by a referendum
*"Automatic" expulsion of illegal immigrants and legal immigration cut to 10,000 per year following an
immediate total moratorium
*"Extremist" mosques closed and priority to French nationals in social housing
*Retirement age fixed at 60 and 35-hour week assured

...........................................................
I would suggest that the first and second wishes are the reasons the MSM don't wish to discuss the
pros and cons of her party's ambitions, a referendum would certainly disrupt the European Project and
would add even more verve for a break-up of this non-elected bureaucratic wast of money.
The second request of expulsion can be seen as a demand from the public that bombings, vehicular
killings and death by firearms are not wanted alongside what many of the French see as a dilution of
their unique culture.
So why would the media give a damn about these views...? Why would they 'care' whether a blonde
-haired divorcee didn't like the European Union and wanted the economic migrants out of her country?
They report the news don't they...? They don't form it!
Instead of opening up these opinions, the MSM quickly show the unwanted information and then -not
only tarry on the views of the current leader of the election, which is fair in my opinion, but they also
fill the columns with viewpoints that the dropped-out losers had too!
Should they do this...? I ask myself and resist the urge to believe the MSM are attempting to make
me believe (and presumably the French voters too!)...that what they think is the correct way to see this
election.
Then I succumb to my sarcasm and continue!!
Except they do, the mainstream media have fed the masses a narrative that has changed the middle-class
young into unwitting political zombies, who perceive a world where kindness is great as long as someone
else performs it. Their undeveloped perceptions force them to behave in the same manner as their school
days, they don't wish to stand out from the crowd, yet they crave their individuality.
The young feel that they are fully equipped to enter adulthood and yet larp and bawl when they don't
get their own way. But the world doesn't work like that and I'm ranting. Sorry.
The same media has ignored the generations of the working classes in favour of producing fluff pieces of the
mundane and moulding a politically-charged incident into a mono-browed opinion that merely caters for a
'now' perspective.
To do this, the European Community and the recent years of grey, unregulated abuse of power in the United
States are an ideal forum to gambol in and produce a quality of journalism of a quality past-scribes of that
trade would baulk at.
Religion is a major aspect in the current european situation and it won't matter if you're an athiest or just
accept that all ideologies are okay, it seems that many of France's citizens are realising what is just around
the corner.
The newspapers and television networks daren't approach these respective subjects because they would be
entering the world of Le Pen and the people who voted for her, exist in and it seems their media-masters do
not want to wander into these adult, disturbing realities.
We may not have the 'Thought Police' of Orwell's story, yet... but I'd suggest we already be entertaining the
'Narrative Enforcers'!!
