In my humble opinion, the Harper Putch never, ever, had the moral authority to govern, neither does the Christy government in BeeCee. In Harper’s case thanks to the skullduggery in Saanich – Gulf Islands two elections ago, the in and out scam back then and the robo-calls crap last time I question the Harper Government’s LEGAL authority to govern!

I also made a comment recently on the CBC website. It was posted about the story where Michaelle Jean urged Chief Spence to end her hunger strike. My comment was directed at the Mods, urging them to investigate the origins of all the hate speech posted and allowed to stand. It was never published. Not even posted and pulled with the disclaimer left in place.

The CBC website is hit hard by these trolls, I think because it is the last bastion in the mainstream media with no paywall and also because Harper hates the CBC and wants to see them discredited and defunded.

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:33:37 +0000 http://sistersagesmusings.ca/?p=13482#comment-13317 During Chief Spence and her fight to be heard, for her people? There was very little difference than, Goebbels propaganda machine and his hate speech towards the Jewish people. Never have I been so ashamed of this country as I am since, Harper’s majority government reign of terror.

There was a comment made on the CBC’s web site. This was from a F.N. lady or, perhaps a young girl. Her post was full of pain. I tried to comment back to her, four times. I wanted her to know, there are those of us, who care about the F.N. CBC refused to publish my comment. National Post comments and the CBC, I sent to friends and relatives overseas. They were horrified. The new face of Canada is very similar to, the days in Germany during the thirties.

If you read: Harper was Policy Chief of his, Northern Foundation Party in 1989. He was linked with some very dubious characters. Harper’s bizarre behavior, was now more clear to me.

Dictators number one to control first, is the media. Then they grab control of every thing, they get their hands on. There is no longer any such thing as, good honest journalism and reporting. I canceled my newspapers long ago, they so sickened me.

(freep) 246 up, 42 down

To slew or cheat an online poll by repeatedly voting (clearing cookies, using proxies) or to make a blog appear to be commented by numerous posters by the same means. (From the practices of the Free Republic or “freepers”)
The results of the CNN question of the day were running 70:30 in favor until an hour ago when it got freeped.

The right has a compliant Corporate media and is now manipulating social media wherever they can. This issue needs far more attention and effort as it is the perfect tool for ongoing mass right wing propaganda. Mods and progs need to stop looking for the messiah to lead them back to the promised land and take up the fight for themselves. It’s a pig wrestle and they need to understand they will have to get dirty.

Those with a public presence need to get on this and bring the topic to the fore on social media sites, blogs etc. There is an opportunity for a new ally too, and they even have their own TV network. What better cause than to fight against racism, bigotry and hate speech, to speak the truth and to use the Kelowna accord that Harper cast aside a rallying point?

Education and accounting being two of the main planks to address moving forward, both being realistic and measurable goals to achieve benefits for all concerned. Some say many Chiefs won’t go along, but those Chiefs are the few, the Idle no more and the FN overall are the many.

The evidence is mounting. Keep those links coming. It would be great if this story actually made it into the mainstream.

Last week there was a Chek6 online poll that trended at 70% support for the IdleNoMore movement for hours, then suddenly, half hour before Air time, the numbers completely reversed. This disturbing trend is definately being used against us at all levels of communications, in all levels of Government.

Thanks for the link, I read your articles regularly, one of my favourites!

cknw had a poll today(Friday 25th) the question was ..If a provincial election was held today who would you vote for..

At 10:00 am…The numbers reflected almost exactly what the recent Angus Reid poll numbers suggested..

Bill Good announce at 10:30 am what the pll question was, 1 hour later the numbers were..BC Liberals 55%..NDP 32%..

I have seen this before, the BC Liberals 200 person public relations team, PAB hijacked the polls, this can be done easily by clearing cookies and voting over and over again..

However, this blogger not only blogged, and posted the early results, I guaranteed my readers that once PAB got wind of the poll the numbers would swing around 180 degrees..And they did..

http://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.ca/2013/01/cknws-question-of-day.html

During the BC 2009 election, the Delta times had a poll up, who would you vote for..Vicki Huntington or Wally Oppal…Oppal`s numbers were off the chart..

2 days later, the Delta times ran a short article titled, PLEASE DON`T HIJACK OUR POLLS…The article said they normally get a few hundred votes, this question/poll, had 3800 votes..

Cheers

There also appears to be an organised effort to coordinate Harperite comments on topics they think relevant e.g. guns, Chief Spence etcetera.

It would be interesting if a disgruntled former ‘communicator’ came forward to explain what’s going on.
