The Psychological Mindset Operating the BBC

[Teddy Bear]

As I stated on the main page of this website there will be no further additions of topics and threads that show how the BBC abuses its charter, not to mention completely undermining our society.

As I stated there, the simple reason for this is that there is no need for further evidence of BBC abuse and transgressions. Within the last 10 years since this site has been formed we have collected plenty to show a clear corrupt and insidious agenda that has come to public awareness with little or nothing having been done about it.

As we will see, the main reason for this is that the majority of those who have the power to have done something, our politicians, share a similar mindset to those at the BBC, and instead of dealing with the injustices inflicted on us by this sinister organisation, they use it to their own advantage.

So the real question still remains - what can be done to put an end to the dynamics that have taken our once excellent society backwards?
In an attempt to arrive at some conclusion this is the only subject that I will still leave open for posting. While I don’t yet have an answer I want first to give my understanding of what I see as the underlying cause that created and continues to create this mindset. Feel free to add your own perceptions.

WHO DESIRES POWER?
I know we are used to terming the BBC agenda as left wing. I think for our purposes in this thread it is better to ignore this subjective definition and look to understand first why they are the way they are.

What is clear is that each of the agendas that we have identified on this website give the BBC greater powers . So we can begin by trying to analyse who is it that desires this power?

If I were to ask most balanced intelligent beings what they desire in life, I doubt that they would respond with the notion of power. Success in their chosen fields is one of the responses I would expect, and to achieve it in a moral, lawful way. Only in this way can they help to create a better world for themselves and their children as well as the rest of humanity. An absolute necessity for this balanced intelligent being to feel fulfilment.

In fact most looking at what reality would mean to them if they had power thrust on them, like a king over their subjects, would see this as pure hell, and completely undesirable. Who would want to exchange a world where one has harmony with friends and family, as well as within themselves, as far as that is possible, for one that everybody around you do whatever they do out of fear?

Certainly the power to address the wrongs and injustices that prevent greater harmony would be a desirable quality, but this is still within a social movement and not power for its own sake.

So what are the issues inside a being that would make them see the attainment of power as something desirable and positive? Logically I can only see an inner inferiority complex as the driving force.

Psychological Traits
I should state at the outset that I am not a psychologist in any formal way. Merely one who having observed the myriad behaviours of a multitude of human beings over the years and sought as best as I can to understand them.

We are born as blank sheets, and if we are fortunate enough to grow up within at least a moderately harmonious and positive framework, we develop our minds and expand our horizons. We see life is for learning and seek to enrich ourselves by looking deeper and further.

But what of those at an early and vulnerable age who are made to feel inferior, either by a relative or peers, and given to believe they will never develop? What if this happens before they have attained the self-confidence to know that anybody trying to push this notion have serious psychological issues themselves? Even if they doubt the accusation that they will never develop into an intelligent being, I can imagine that it would inhibit their growth whereby they always have to measure it. Hardly the ideal dynamics for the exploration of life and making sizeable gains in personal growth.

So now we have somebody who has an inferiority complex to some degree or other. What does this person feel they need to overcome this inner pressure?

I believe this will be one of the personalities who will desire power over others. In this way they can ‘prove’ to themselves that they are not inferior, but in fact, superior. Because they desire power they will seek and gravitate to those positions that might give them this. Bear in mind however, that because they haven’t developed the real qualities that would enhance their mental and visionary skills, they are in reality - still inferior.

Recognition of these types
Most are familiar with the idiom that ‘Those that can - do; those that can’t - teach’. I have later seen the addition of 'Those that can’t teach - administrate'; and more recently I can add ‘those that can’t administrate - write about everybody else’.

Another facet I wish to add is the real meaning of the word ‘education’. Its source is Latin and actually means ‘to bring out from within’. How does the modern education system that we are familiar with fit this definition? I think we’d all agree that education today is filling up the student with the facts and figures that are considered important by the school system, with very little to do with personal development - or bringing out from within. So unless a student has also embarked on a personal route of self-development, they will know little of any particular qualities expanded within. Possibly too making them prey for any self appraisal of inferiority.

To understand the mindset of those like we find at the BBC it’s worth examining the meaning of the above idiom.
1. Those that can - do.
If we consider the necessary items we require in our society for it to function then all the science, businesses and services that provide them are our main priority. Those that have developed, built, work, and maintain these businesses have the greatest value for us to have the freedoms and quality of life we enjoy.
It’s fair to assume that these people will feel the most fulfilment depending on the level of service provided. Knowing you are giving society worthwhile items that add to its expansion has to be the most desirable inner satisfaction.

2. Those that can’t - teach.
There is no question that teachers are an essential part of society to ensure the services and items above can continue to be provided. But mostly unlike the above, there will be those teachers that provide a valuable service, and those that don’t. Where a bad business will not survive, a bad teacher will still be affecting their charges in a negative way. It is fair to assume that those ‘inferiority complex’ people who chose teaching as a means to have control and power over their students, as described above, will be the majority of bad teachers. Good teachers will be mindful of the real meaning of education and inspire their students.

3. Those that can’t teach - administrate.
As with teachers, we have encountered good and bad administrators. Those who enjoy helping others through the bureaucratic jungle and facilitate progress, and those who merely use that position to exert power and control over others.

[Teddy Bear]

4. Those that can’t administrate - write about everybody else.

Consider this position, that not having to prove oneself in science or business, or have had to show success as a teacher or administrator, yet feel worthy enough to consider their own view as at least equal, if not superior, than any others. If the majority of journalists confined themselves to simply reporting news, then that would be their true and fit place. Instead too many have felt themselves not just equal to the others, but superior, and feel they need to enlighten the public as to what is ‘really going on’.

So we enter the world of propaganda and self serving output. Emanating from a mostly ignorant and mentally undeveloped individual.

Why the ‘left-wing’ viewpoint is used so much by these types.

I lived in India for a few years and heard stories that many beggars there purposefully deformed their children in order to gain more sympathy from passers-by, and thereby increase the amount of money they could get as beggars.

This facet alone raises the question as to whether it is beneficial to give to beggars or not. It is for each of us to determine the rights and wrongs, but as we can see, it is not black and white, and requires deeper thought to come to a satisfying solution.

But the ‘left wing’ tenet would be that ‘we must give to the poor’ and anybody who doesn’t think so is some sort of greedy, selfish, uncaring type of individual. So no need for further thought or consideration - it is laid in stone.

So for the individual that has a problem thinking deeper into a particular issue, this way of adopting various similar tenets, many fed to students in schools by the ‘can’t do teachers’, makes them feel they are now superior. It certainly gives them the tool to combat those who would argue against them.

With the imminent elections in the USA between Trump and Clinton, the bias displayed by the BBC would have been clearly evident to all but the most brainwashed. The manner in which they demonize Trump highlights a very clear factor inherent in their mindset. On the one hand we have a very successful businessman who carried on his father's family business into a multi billion dollar venture because of his acumen. On the other, those within the BBC, as well as most of the left-wing media, who believe their continual criticism and contempt gives them some sort of superiority.

'THOSE THAT CAN'T ADMINISTRATE - WRITE ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE'

If roles were reversed, with Clinton as the Republican, there is no doubt that they would be all over the scandals that have come to light over her past and present actions. But as it is, it's only by getting news by more impartial broadcasters or outlets that you'd know anything about them.

We saw the same kind of behaviour with Donald Rumsfeld, the former Secretary of Defence for George Bush. Clearly Rumsfeld was a highly intelligent man who had great success throughout his political and professional life. He was also a very erudite man, unlike Bush, yet the BBC did their best to undermine whatever he had to say.

One of the clearest examples was when Rumsfeld said this in relation to the proposed War on Terror:
Is there anybody who can't understand the reason and logic contained in this statement? I think any reasonably intelligent individual would understand the sense contained and expressed.

Not apparently those of the left including the BBC. It's worrying that our national broadcaster is unable to comprehend it and have no shame in not only displaying their ignorance, but doing their best to ridicule it.
But this is the strategy that we see continually with this mindset. Then it was Bush and Rumsfeld, today it is Trump et al.

Let's look at how the BBC reported the Rumsfeld statement when it won a 'Foot in Mouth' award by the 'British Plain English Campaign'. Personally I'd be scrutinising their level of intelligence displayed by this 'award', rather than anything said by Rumsfeld.
Here's their article at the time:



I've highlighted the more critical passages of the article and the blinkard way the BBC display their ignorance. Even the caption under Rumsfeld's picture where he is said to be 'trying to make a point'.

I would apply this caption to the BBC, but together with this picture:

Only at the end of the article do we see any kind of 'balance', but even here it is dismissive of these views.

[Teddy Bear]

Following Brexit and the election of Trump, more and more facets of the left-wing mindset have been made apparent.
One of the striking elements is that they are mostly unable to find any good reason why people should have voted the way they did, and the only 'logic' they can muster for this is that those who did are racist, lack compassion, bigoted, etc. They really show a complete inability to think anything through despite reasons and explanations given them.

I can only think that any disagreement with the way they think they take as insulting and demeaning, an affront to their dignity. It doesn't seem to matter what facts or reasoning is presented in an effort to illuminate, they take it as an insult, and react accordingly. A mistake we make is that we believe everybody uses their brain the way we are used to doing. That because we will adapt and modify our thinking as new facts, reason and evidence is presented, without feeling slighted, we think everybody is like that. THEY'RE NOT!

If you wish to try this for yourself here's an example you can use if you're debating a left-winger on the subject of refugees fleeing the various Islamic conflicts. We are constantly told by all the Muslim appeasers that the radical and extremist element among them are only a tiny minority, and are not even considered Muslims.

Which then brings in the logical question - if they are only a tiny minority, why do all these able-bodied refugees need to flee?

I have no doubt that there are many Muslims who genuinely want to live their lives free from the extreme ideology spouted, but it is up to them to do something about this 'minority'. In the same way Britain and its allies fought off Germany and Japan during WWII. Few UK and US citizens left their homes to seek asylum elsewhere - but stayed to fight against those who threatened their beliefs and values.

So this alone creates a justified suspicion on many who claim to be refugees, particularly those of a fighting age.

I suggest using this example the next time you are engaged with those of the left persuasion, and just watch their reaction. You are giving very credible logic, but watch carefully how they perceive it and respond. The better we understand what we are up against, the better we will know how to combat and neutralize it.

Like all others I see the shots on the TV. I’m struck by the fact that virtually all, “protesters” are in fact youths who cannot conceivably have had any experience of life. One expression I heard some years ago, from a youth, was, “age and experience is the enemy of innovation” – would you believe: uttered by a person naive enough to think that his ‘unique’ thought process and approach to a particular issue/topic conclusion cannot have been reached by anybody else. Unbelievable.

Teddy I agree with the trust of your post , but I must take issue with your second paragraph about the liberal left only being able to put the electoral revolution as being down to racism , ill education etc etc. This was indeed the case until a few months ago and then the hit on two ideas , both probably outright lies but they don’t care. The first idea was fake news, a neat piece of doublespeak as they have been skilful purveyors of fake news for years. The second idea was that Russia and sinister far right elements in the west are manipulating the voting process. All they have to do now is to keep on repeating this at every opportunity for a year or so and it will become an accepted fact. They will then ,in true Orwellian style , be able to censor out any news they object to and leave the field free for their own version. They may even be able to say that any election that goes against them has been rigged by the right and demand a rerun. Leftist judges will no doubt find in their favour. Of course elections which go the way they want will be pristine.
Democracy has turned against the liberal left and they are determined to undermine it by any means. The liberal left establishment is far from dead and hold the levers of power. President Trump has much work to do to get rid of the unelected liberal left officials , judges, media folks, academics, luvvies , who will constantly undermine him and obstruct him at every turn. Those who voted for him need to make their support very clear. In the U.K. Our politicians are far too timid to even try to follow his lead and most of them still support the liberal left consensus of the past decades.

DT – I actually think we agree although you’ve identified an additional recent twist to it. Their psychology forces them to dismiss whatever we think by whatever manner they can. They are incapable of real thought so this is the only defence they have.
We have been observing this with the BBC and their kin for years. Only now are we seeing just how their brainwashed public have bought into it and doing their best to revolt against what they see as a turning tide.
Because I see so often those like ourselves trying to understand the left by interpreting their reactions as if they were capable of thought I am wanting all of us to better understand this psychology in the hope that we will better discover a solution – besides violence – that history reveals has always happened in the past.
That’s why instead of getting frustrated with their reaction, if we can just use argument to get them to react and observe it, we might better know how to deal effectively with them.

Teddy,
Ah I see what you are driving at. Yes I do find that the brainwashing is almost unviversal for under 30s , but young folks usually grow up, at least they used to but I find more and more 40 somethings still cling to liberal leftist views. I agree it impossible to discuss things with them because they really do trot out the racist /fascist mantra at the first sight of any non conforming view. I believe that for many young folks their views are more to do with fashion than with conviction. This is where the media and the luvvies play such an important role for the left and why it is difficult to use logic or common sense to successfully persuade the brainwashed to change their minds.

I have been trying to account for this ease of brainwashing that seems to be so prevalent in our society for a long time, as no doubt have many of us here. Several ’causes’ that seem to account for it, at least in part:
1. An inferiority complex that might have been inflicted on them when they were young and stopped their brain from developing naturally. So they cling to tenets that make it appear as if they are really intelligent, regardless of true merit. After all, if our national broadcaster and their teachers promulgate these views – how wrong can they be?
2. Then there is the education system itself. The meaning of ‘education’ from Latin is to ‘bring out from within’. What we see mostly in ours is ‘cramming in a load of crap’ that doesn’t require thought or mental development. This might also account for the inner ‘inferiority’ and insecurity described above.

I believe it is this that forces these individuals to desire power so much. Proof that they are really superior and why they so easily resort to violence when they are denied this power.

Could it also be a peculiar and perverse return to the Age of Deference that was well and truly done away with by the end of the 1960s?

They (the Snowflakes) defer to what they are told by (S)socialist/liberal teachers at school, pick up on the constant bickering of the main & other Party politicians, reach for the remote control of the TV (from which they have been spoon-fed since birth if Millennials or Generation Z) zip through ‘the beliefs’ from many varied channels and then – just like picking a sequence of coloured Smarties or M&Ms from a full bowl – defering to their peers and influenced by fashion, they choose their belief with which to be brainwashed.

They are then able to say “Of course I AM NOT brainwashed, it is you who do not believe who are brainwashed” and “What I believe is right, must be right because I have chosen to believe it. It has not been forced on me. I chose it. (I shopped for it!)”

I asked him if they made references to this in lessons ( my education was almost politics free as it should be ) and he said yes constantly.
The real swamp is in the universities and the schools. Until this is drained we can but hope to let our young find out reality for themselves. The BBC sits on top of this and can never be drained. Closure is the only realistic option .

I wish I didn’t take such a passive line but if the young fools really can’t see where liberal leftism is taking the country and the rest of the West, a Muslim dominated hell hole, then I have nearly given up on them. I am concerned for the future of family and friends but if they are determined to commit mass suicide and react very aggressively to ‘ warnings’ , well sad to say ,hell mind em and I’ll enjoy the time I have left.

DT – I think it’s largely because we are the age we are that we remember a completely different society with great values and we are doing our best to see them re-established. I’ve often thought that if I was offered the chance to be 20 years old now, but have been born 20 years ago, I wouldn’t take it. I’m very happy that I know the world and our society I did, which is probably why many of us are here to try and get it back in our lives, at least as much as is now possible.

Regarding kids – I hope this example helps.
I used to work for quite a few years as a driving instructor and especially loved the challenge of getting these young adults to think independently. I would explain to them from the first lesson that school hadn’t really taught them how to do this and it really wasn’t their fault – that’s the system. I also got them to see that there was no way we could cover every eventuality they would be likely to encounter as a driver and it was essential for them to learn how to assess a potentially hazardous situation and deal with it effectively and safely.

With this understood by them I would then ask them to explain the purpose of the zig-zag lines on each side of a Zebra Crossing. I made it clear that I knew they didn’t know but I wanted them to give me their best estimation. Sometimes it would take 15 minutes and there’d be a whole lot of frustration. I took whatever (wrong) answers they gave me and showed why they were not right, and made it clear that the right answer would make absolute sense.

The joy when they got there was immense – and the high five was special. I had a very high pass rate percentage and I believe it was mostly due to helping them develop independent thought. I hope and believe this would also serve them in every aspect of their future lives.

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi (I'm guessing your name is Tim), and a warm welcome to the site. Of course I wish you the best of luck with your venture and hope you will succeed with your aim. In the 16 years that I have been active raising awareness of the BBC bias, and recording their blatant bias and corruption within, I have yet to see any evidence that existing governments will do anything about it, making them equally culpable.

For sure an ever growing number of people are becoming more aware of this bias as it effects their lives, and we see the government and media doing their best to stifle and dismiss our concerns, which is why I now think that a war is inevitable sometime in the future. We can hope that a change of mentality in our society will prevail by peaceful means, but seeing how the present mindset uses their power to dominate I think it unlikely. History shows this to occur again and again.

Basically, because we are not personally so interested in power we leave these positions open after we have won previous wars. Then the same inferior being who desire power to try and prove that they really are intelligent occupy them again. In truth we have to learn next time to hold on to these positions and protect them if we are going to avoid future wars.

There are many sites, including this one, you may wish to link to and also post on regarding your position and website. You can find the links to them here.

I will give your petition it's own thread on this site and again I wish you the best of luck. feel free to post again on this and related items.

After seeing a comment a few days ago on the Biased BBC blog website I referred them to what I had written here on the topic. Here is an exchange of posts we shared.

Zelazek APRIL 21, 2020 AT 12:14 PM
Naomi Klein on Today says that Donald Trump is “losing his mind” and needs to be replaced by Joe Biden. This statement is not even challenged, never mind ridiculed, by Mishal Husain.
I began to wonder why leftists cannot see things as they really are and so often get things back to front. It must be because of habits formed in childhood. Perhaps they learned to believe the lies of duplicitous parents in order to survive the deceitful atmosophere of their upbringings. Perhaps dealing with unreliable, neglectful, distant or absent parents required the wearing of rose-coloured specs or the generation of utopian visions. Perhaps irrational parents destroyed their incipient faith in the rudiments of logic.

Teddy Bear APRIL 21, 2020 AT 1:39 PM
Hi Zelazek I agree with you that the better we can understand the mindset of those we scrutinise here, and why it operates the way it does is very important to try and neutralize it. I too have thought long and hard about this and posted my observations here a few years back. Perhaps you’ll find it helpful and stimulating.

Teddy Bear,
Thanks for that link. A very enjoyable read. Your analysis is sound, your arguments strong. And the quality of your discussion with Doublethinker and others is why I love this site. And you put your finger on our problem: How do we argue with people who are so quick to close down discussion by accusing us of being bigots, fascists, racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, Islamophobes, etc.? That is a difficult question. The only answer I have come up with is to become more articulate than our enemies. Logical argument will not normally work unless it is distilled down to a pithy, unanswerable point. For example, the only time I felt I managed to win an argument with my lefty colleagues at work was when I took issue with them for saying that Donald Trump was stupid. I asked them the question, “How does a stupid man come to dominate the real estate business in Manhattan?” I was met with silence.

Teddy Bear APRIL 21, 2020 AT 8:51 PM
Zel – Thanks for your reply and I know we operate from similar experiences. The Catch-22 for us is that winning the argument doesn’t give us victory, it merely drives the ‘left’ to resort to even more blatant brainwashing. History shows us that the only way we have ever turfed out these types is by war. Since our minds are better developed we win these wars. If we are to learn from history the next time we win we have to make sure we hold on to the positions of power. This has been our biggest drawback – we don’t seek power – we seek love, harmony and satisfaction from our endeavours. So the ones who seek it are those who need it to validate their being regardless of the real damage done to our society as a result.

The biggest example we see at this moment in time is how Trump is ridiculed for calling out the questionable policies of the Chinese in how they’ve responded to this virus. The left would rather see our society suffer the deaths and chaos it has caused than upset the similar ambitions of these other power seeking dictators.

I’ve just reread the link to your piece about the BBC psychological mindset. Thanks for making it available here.

A factor which you don’t mention is boredom or excess energy. If you spend a day at the coal-face, or even at the chalk-face, you are likely to be tired at the end of it, even if in some way fulfilled. You will have less excess energy for criticism of things for its own sake, and higher self-worth.

One obvious exception to this is students, who may have lots of energy as young people, plus the time and freedom to go on demonstrations. They may have low self-worth, as they have had little chance to achieve much, and feel they are doing something noble by, say, opposing nuclear missiles or Brexit.

Now imagine a journalist with a good degree in English Literature or Psychology. Much of the news reporting (s)he is required to do may be rather routine, with little scope to shine; it will often be a let down after studying Joyce, Freud or Marx at college. This might not be true of Kuenssberg or Easton, but many others below them will be underemployed and possibly bored.

The old expression for this was, “the devil finds work for idle hands”. Pol Pot might have sent them out into the fields, hating intellectuals and finding a use for their excess energy. The undermining of the existing order by BBC “Lefties” may owe something to their existential ‘ennui’, with no wars to fight or tiring work to do.

Of course this theory of mine doesn’t fully explain the political slant of the professional carpers, since bored intellectuals might just as well attack the British state from libertarian Right positions as collectivist Left ones.

Hi Must’ and thanks for your input and credible addition. I would agree that many are fence sitters who decided life is easier to ‘go with the flow’ rather than think independently. As admitted by many posters here that it wasn’t until they were affected personally by any of the various agendas put forward by the left that they realised how insidious it truly was – and they ‘woke up’.

Thinking about it you might have touched upon a very important and valuable tool for use by us. If we can find a way to ‘wake’ the masses by friendly guidance and stimulation rather than just winning the arguments perhaps we can win the war without the need to ultimately fight.
