    A WHO Coup to Manipulate You COVID-19, a WHO Coup to Manipulate You: Painting an Alternative Future This article is a companion to We Are Revolting 1 www.antoinettejames.com 2 A WHO Coup to Manipulate You COVID-19, a WHO Coup to Manipulate You: Painting an Alternative Future Voices are proclaiming, “the cure”, world lockdown, is worse than the disease, “COVID-19”. The “cure” is in the hands of the world’s corrupt leaders, puppets of the NGO’s, the elite secret Club of Rome and the United Nations. Together they have shut down societies and economies of the world, to “save” the world, from their deliberately released virus. The elite are using their own Coronavirus as a carrier to a New World Order. They have gagged the world’s population by putting them under house arrest. What is more terrifying, the people are buying the lie. ‘The true genius in advertising is to sell you the solution and the problem’ George Orwell Socialist-Fabián member, author 1984, The Truth is, the United Nations is trying to fast track the nations to the New World Order; COVID-19 deaths are but collateral damage, a means to an end. We the People have been commanded on threat of jail time, to stay indoors and not congregate. Leaving the elite run UN with no opposition, as groups of people cannot gather to protest. The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Manuel de Oliveira Guterres (left), gesturing in typical insider Freemason symbolism, was previously President of Socialist International, stated - ‘The pandemic could create an opportunity to rebuild the global economy along more sustainable goals (the tyrannical UN’s Agenda 21/2030).’ His words make sense of all we are experiencing by bully-boy governments.

    Awarded Theses 2016/2017 Richard Raber Staking Out a Place Amidst Shifting Soils Understanding Contemporary South Africa Through Social Memory EMA, The European Master’s Programme in Human Rights and Democratisation RICHARD RABER STAKING OUT A PLACE AMIDST SHIFTING SOILS UNDERSTANDING CONTEMPORARY SOUTH AFRICA THROUGH SOCIAL MEMORY RICHARD RABER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Arriving in South Africa in mid-2015, little did I know that this country would soon both capture me and feel like home. Here I am, in July 2017, completing my Master’s thesis centring around the pulse of the nation. I suppose it is true, unyawo alunampumlo, your feet have no nose. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who helped make this work possible. Firstly, thank you to uGogo Sizani Ngubane, without her I would never have come to South Africa in the first place. She continues to be a model of hard-work, creativity, leadership and integrity. Secondly, thank you to all the interviewees for their time and honesty. Without all of you, this work would not have been possible. I would also like to thank all that have engaged me in enthralling conversations about South Africa’s contemporary political dynamics. This begins with everyday strangers in taxis to close friends of mine, particularly uMchana Lwandile Noludwe, Pearl Lebogang Nicodemus, Thalib ‘Dada’ Mugen, Sobantu Mzwakali, Ntska Mateta and Tshepo Diseko. Moreover, I feel very fortunate to have friends that are willing to read and honestly critique my work, this includes those just mentioned but also Sergio ‘Satélite’, Manvinder Gill, Francesco Fanti Rovetta, Alexander Gowrliuk, Emma Douglas, Zak ‘Tommie Boi’ Johnson, Nereya Otieno and Ari ‘IQ’ East.

    Issue 1 Lebanese American University 2016-2017 ConnecCOMMUNICATION ARTS Tions #ReinventCommunication Department of Communication Arts THEY SAY IT’S NEWS WE SAY IT’S EMPOWERMENT Photo: Mahmoud Nakib #REINVENT COMMUNICATION B.A. and Minor in Multimedia Journalism LAUCOMM [email protected] - comm.lau.edu.lb Department Jad Melki, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Chairperson Why #ReinventCommunication? Examine communication programs around the world, and you will notice two groups. The first struggles with low enrollment, program closures, faculty layoffs, and a feeling of anxiety and uncertainty about the future of the communication disciplines and the industry. Examples include Emory University, University of Colorado, and Florida International University, all three of which have recently closed down communication programs. In contrast, another group thrives with record enrollment, new innovative multidisciplinary programs, and old restructured and expanded programs. Take Columbia University’s new Data Journalism M.A. that all but brags about its $100,000+ tuition per year. Another is Northeastern University’s new M.A. in Journalism and Media Innovation, which is run by the College of Arts, Media and Design and houses an eclectic selection of disciplines, including architecture, art, design, communication, game design, journalism, film, music, and theater. Then there is Boston-based Emerson College’s new MA in Civic Media, Art and Practice and its recently inaugurated $85 million building in Los Angeles that hosts several film studios and performance spaces. Several programs in the performing arts are also thriving: Enrollment at Stockton University’s Performing Arts programs is booming, especially the Dance program, and the Music program at Stony Book University continues to expand.

  • BBC Pops up to Make Videos About Tacoma by ALEXIS KRELL Staff Writer February 20, 2015
    BBC pops up to make videos about Tacoma BY ALEXIS KRELL Staff writer February 20, 2015 Matt Danzico, a BBC reporter, films students Thursday in the afternoon glass-blowing program offered by Hilltop Artists at Jason Lee Middle School. A team from BBC is in Tacoma — the last of six U.S. cities on its tour — to report on ways the community is on the rise. PETER HALEY — Staff photographer Buy Photo To learn more about BBC Pop Up and to watch the videos, visit bbc.in/Yqk2Yl. Follow what they’re doing and submit story ideas attwitter.com/BBCpopup. Matt Danzico and his BBC Pop Up team think Tacoma might take off in about five years, and they wanted to get here before that happens. “The fact of the matter is the Seattle-Tacoma region is booming right now,” he said last week. “We were initially interested in figuring out why that is. It’s interesting to be here when the city is on its way up, rather than when it has already arrived.” The team, a venture of the British Broadcasting Corp., is visiting six up-and-coming cities in six months. Tacoma is the last stop. The goal is to capture the essence of each city in a series of short videos, to be posted online and compiled into 30-minute shows for BBC World News Television, one episode per city. The team has been to Boulder, Colorado; Pittsburgh; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Tucson, Arizona. They’ve had various team members on the road trips, and three have made their way to Tacoma.

  • Julianne Lindner Branding Images WHITE SAVIORISM and SHOCK APPEALS by BBC Three
    Julianne Lindner Branding Images WHITE SAVIORISM AND SHOCK APPEALS BY BBC Three ComDev Master – 1 year 15 credits HT 2020 Supervisor: Anders Høg Hansen SUMMARY This research has focused on the representation of foreign cultures in four BBC documentaries. To be more precise, it looked into how public documentaries portray foreign cultures, specifically within a frame of development aid and white saviourism when watching documentaries by BBC Three, a channel which is centred towards a young audience. Previous research on white saviourism and shock appeals analysed movies, documentaries and aid campaigns. Barely any have so far researched representation of minorities, foreign cultures and aid topics in public documentaries. BBC Three is additionally focused only on a young audience and blends tv with social media engagement. This is an interesting angle as youth will be the next policy makers and as they are starting to create their worldview. The research is based upon a visual and textual analysis, following Hall’s encoding/decoding model. It showed that all four documentaries (2016- 2018) misrepresent their “subjects” by focusing more on the presenter’s perspective, e.g. concentrating on their emotional responses, asking loaded questions, giving their opinions and solutions. All four documentaries also presented a simplified local situation through Scott’s shock appeals and a bad- good guy perspective (where the presenters address the local government and stand up for the helpless subjects). One can therefore state that youth learn about foreign cultures through the eyes of a “North” girl/boy next door presenter basing upon a white saviourism perspective. The research additionally related the findings to Goodman’s theory on iCare capitalism, the emphasis on creating a brand and self-value out of caring for others so that other’s suffering is turned into a theatre play.
