Certainly one can talk about hamburgers without *having to* mention cows. I can talk about buns, fillings, relishes.
Feeling that when hamburgers are mentioned, that you HAVE to talk about cows is something that only the most strident PETA advocates do.
So, your statement that it is not possible to talk about TPV without mentioning **** is a statement that YOU cannot talk about TPV without mentioning ****.

The purpose of an institution is WHAT IT DOES.
Saying an institution does some good or some bad is a moral judgement.
Who determines what is good or what is bad?
How do they determine it?
Does this not depend on the frame of the viewer?
Also, putting the power on the institution is an abdication of the personal responsibility of the people involved - for example the Eichmann defense.
As to TPV, slim is constantly pointing out the "good" guests and ignoring what is to me the putrid turd in the punchbowl: the extremely problematic legacy of David Icke. By my lights, that is a very serious omission.

On that I do agree- and that's why I'm posting a counterpoint to your material, although to me the turd is more in the realm of ideas, less in the realm of the personal...

Since TPV is in my view a trojan horse for the David Icke movement, I think it is very important to mention this.
As to institutions- I was actually thinking first and foremost of the Roman Catholic Church. I think it does some good as well some bad but honestly I do not support it as an institution.

You say that in yourt view TPV is a trojan horse for the David Icke movement.
Two Questions:
First
What is the David Icke 'movement' and what is their purpose? and based on what evidence?
Second
Are we to be prevented from discussing any mainstream media content that is run by America institutions that have donated money to Israel?
If I want to talk about Family Guy cartoons, does every conversation about it have to have post after post by you on the neo-liberal threat posed by Rupert Murdoch?
Sure, I GET you dont like Rupert fucking Murcoch OK????
Please tell me how you telling me you HATE him
AGAIN
AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN
has relevance to a thread about CARTOONS???

The David Icke movement, as I formulate it, is people who are big boosters of the teachings of David Icke. As one might guess, their tendency is to want to promote "the Cause", as we are seeing here with TPV.
If TPV were welcome a full range of the criticism of Mr. Icke- and give it a prominent place in its programming- I might not consider it a trojan horse.
I do however consider "The Peoples Voice" as propaganda, PR etc., located firmly in the realm of Psychological Operations. I'm sure you and slim will heatedly dispute this- but on this point, I am clear.
So when a pernicious propaganda outlet points to a particular set of content as benign, I think it's necessary to put things in context, to look at the big picture.

What's manifest is what he says and does- and there is much to criticize there.

Namely a crock of deceptively fabricated crap. I hope Byrne, or some other informed people on the 7/7 deception can comment on Kollerstroms accuracy. He sure sounds pretty damn close, to me at least.
In "The Auschwitz 'Gas Chamber' Illusion," first published on the CODOH website in June 2007, Kollerstrom wrote that there were no "lethal gas chambers" in the Nazi's concentration camps, that cyanide gas chambers operated in Auschwitz only for the purpose of hygiene and disinfection, and that "the only intentional mass extermination program in the concentration camps of World War Two was targeted at Germans" in French and American-run concentration camps.
In "School trips to Auschwitz," he wrote:
Let us hope the schoolchildren visitors are properly taught about the elegant swimming-pool at Auschwitz, built by the inmates, who would sunbathe there on Saturday and Sunday afternoons while watching the water-polo matches; and shown the paintings from its art class, which still exist; and told about the camp library which had some forty-five thousand volumes for inmates to choose from, plus a range of periodicals; and the six camp orchestras at Auschwitz/Birkenau, its theatrical performances, including a children's opera, the weekly camp cinema, and even the special brothel established there. Let's hope they are shown postcards written from Auschwitz, some of which still exist, where the postman would collect the mail twice-weekly. Thus the past may not always be quite, as we were told."
