‘Live 8′ – The Elite’s Festival of Deception
In 2005, Sir Bob Geldolf and his elite cronies pulled off one the biggest media illusions in history.
by Peter Sterry, 21st Century Wire:
If was an incredible weekend in July 2005, beginning with the latest African appeal PR campaign, ‘Make Poverty History’ coupled with the music event, ‘Live 8′, followed by the G8 Summit at Gleneagles, and finally, punctuated by the contrived 7/7 London terrorist bombings.
Geldolf boast of how he had raised over $60 billion through his giant global music event, but later it’s discovered that only $6 billion had been raised, and even then – it’s not completely clear how much of this alleged cash actually constituted materials or relief on the ground in Africa… but international record companies received billions in free marketing and exposure for their artists – resulting a massive bump in sales.
The world hoodwinked, again.
