MURDOCH MAJOR BROWN BUSH THATCHER
–On the Newscorp Hacking Scandal.

Growing up with the weeds in the UK from 1976-2000, has helped shape my experience and observation concerning the relationships between the gov’t, media corporations and their effects upon culture, both my own local culture and–through the emergent technology of the internet– into other cultures.

Today we are aware, i hope; of the global military industrial agricultural media beast that traverses the planet and beyond,aware of the programing. Healthyly suspecting the borg of modifying their database in favour of profits and a competitive edge rather than precise information, reporting, sharing and honest feedback. The opposite of a scientific approach.

It seems to me in light of the Newscorp hacking scandal that the model of the ‘spy’ and the spy’s cloak and dagger strategy for achieving goals best suits the behaviour and actions of Murdoch, Rebecca Brooks, Hunt and the long list of dirty private investigators, sneaky journalists, colluding police officers and sympathetic double cross politicians.
