Society is being conditioned into accepting the brutality and extreme abuse of TV's Big Brother by focusing on the winner while ignoring the brutality meted out against everyone else. A parallel activity is being carried out in reality as I've experienced 24/7 for the last eight years since August 1998. What are the implications of Big Brother television with respect to inciting the population to carry out its own surveillance against those whom are not liked to have them evicted from their homes as has been occurring against me for the past eight years 24/7?
I am being attacked for reporting antisocial and criminal behaviour by those whom I have reported. Subsequent to that, I am being attacked for reporting the criminal abuse of the surveillance technology reflecting a compounding of the original problem. I want to outline the implications of "Big Brother" in the community where people imitate this television production in order to call into question its validity. It's similar to violence in films and on TV, but the link between Big Brother on TV and my experience is quite obvious and direct. It cannot be denied as an incitement.
The current Director General of the BBC is associated with developing Big Brother in his former job before taking the helm at that BBC after the death of Dr David Kelly and the fallout from the inquiry conducted by Lord Hutton. This is the first time I've seen such extensive coverage on BBC News of the "winner" or should I say "survivor" of the Big Brother programme. It was featured starting late yesterday on BBC News24 and continues there this morning. Also, yesterday BBC News24 ran a report about the realease of the film Snakes on a Plane throughout the day.
Both of these reflect a serious dumbing down of the content at BBC News24 which I believe is intended to broaden its appeal to the masses in the hopes of bringing in more viewers. The implications with regard to promoting the results of the Big Brother TV are profound in their implications for supporting this kind of extreme abuse carried out for entertainment purposes which appeals to the basest part and dark side of the human character.
Just this morning those using the surveillance technology against me described it as "entertaining" as is done from time to time. It's better than TV. It's the real thing sanctioned by the government for perverse reasons based upon knowingly fabricated allegations. Worst of all is that media like BBC News24 which will not report this kind of abuse which has the most serious implications for democracy, its institutions and the rule of law. Yet, there is no hesitation in covering the Big Brother TV programme without regard for its impact on society as I have been directly experiencing 24/7 for eight years.
