They are relentless, the radical capitalists, the ugly, rabid pit-bull terriers of the humankind. The other day two of them, one called Jamil Anderlini and the other Mure Dickie, barked for the Financial Times yet another ridiculous attack on communism. They claimed the Chinese were bribing, albeit corrupting their journalists with "red envelopes" containing just under €20 equivalent of Rmb 200 in cash. The petty cash was extended to journalists attending various events as "transport expense" and the practice was heralded as a crown argument for the rotten morals prevailing in endemically corrupt Communist China.

Your stomach may turn upside down by this revolting piece of senseless Goebelsian piece of journalism. Since I have grown resistant to this sort of blatant brainwashing by the UK media I only develop rashes all over me and an itch to hit back. The FT is probably The Most unreliable daily published on the island. These two and their editors KNOW or must have known years ago that most or all of the EU member countries corrupt domestic and foreign journalists on an incomparably larger scale. I am personally a witness and recipient of the lavish bribe extended by the Dutch ministry of Foreign Affairs. Hundreds, though afterthought indicates they were thousands, of journalists attending a 3-4 day event in The Hague, were treated to continuous open buffet modified slightly for breakfast, lunch, snack-time and dinner. Drinks, including wine, were poured non-stop.

You could fill in your bags with sandwiches and with fruit, with nescafe and tea-bags

We had free telephone lines for all the world: call anybody you want and chatr for hours. One could call and entertain for as long one pleased in rousing sex-chats with the sex-shops in Thailand, Tokio, Turkey, Texas or Tibet.

There are no sex-shops in Tibet. OK, you could call the Dalai Llama.
There is not a Dalai Lama in Tibet, the bloody communists have thrown him out.
OK, you can call the Yetty instead. Or somebody else: call the resident CIA man in Tibet. But Tibet you dial for free.

This sort of treatment is in the 150 euro daily bracket and summs up to €500 for three days.

They do it so many times every year in the West. The G6, 7 and 8. The EU summit and under-summit. The NATO, OTAN, NAVO. The opening of the ICC in the Hague extended the same corruptive treatment of the world media. Once you are a journalist - the National Tourist Offices pay your return airfare, your hotel, your taxis, your films, your escort, your everything.

The ANVR does it on a grand scale.Their famous Annual Congress week=long event is sweetened (bribed-up) with at least a €1,000 per person gratuits.

The ANWB too. They'll take you for a free all-day ride on a luxurious old boat to watch the tall ships slide by in comfort better than the one enjoyed by the queen, will wine you and dine you and music you till sunset, will see you off with a superb rain-jacket I believe is about €50 as their memento for the day. My estimate is that such a treat is a bribe of about €700 per person.

Actually, bloody everybody, even the most obscure RAI event will have a press-room stacked with sandwiches, beer, refreshments and gratis parking for journalists, a bundle that costs at least €30 outside of the press-booth. The Financial Times publishes 'special reports' as supplements to the genuine newspaper. That concept is a revolting cheating and bribing practice the pink paper of British extreme liberal financial might has mastered through frequent and unabashed use and misuse. When the FT produces a "special report" section for the regular newspaper do not even come close to think that the editors have decided to produce an in-debth analysis of a country, a region (Sheik's Abu Dhabi, my Macedonia, Sarkozy's Frrance, Russian Arctic) or an industry, important institution, a social trend a scientific breakthrough.

These sharks have no other interest but grabbing your money. These journalists are ready to be corrupted for real money, not the "transport allowance" paid to their Chinese colleagues attending a press conference 20 miles away from the media newsroom. The Financial Times charges money (it is being bribed, or paid for as a whore to complete a service) to cheat the unsuspecting public that its "supplement" called Special Report Republic of Macedonia is a genuine piece of editorial journalism. But it is not.

The Special Report is paid by the government of Macedonia.
That is corruption of the FT.
That is amoral.
That is the great train robbery of criminality in journalism as compared to the €29 transport money.
The FT lies the poor Macedonian ignoramuses that ALL THE WORLD will change their attitude towards Macedonia once the people will have seen the "special report" on their country in the FT,
FT must have implied that it would have never gone out with such a report if its editors did not know something extra: Macedonia is being groomed for opening EU-accession talks. Influential people suggest it would be beneficial if a special report was published now. Top authors will be sent to cover the subject.

And those pigs, those little vermin gather courage to come out and attack the Chinese journalists who receive €29 to pay their taxi to the event and back AND to claim that such an attitude is their proof Communism was endemically rotten and corrupt while they, they were the epitomes of moral purity!
