Attenborough Life on Air

Review by 'Rerevisionist' of   David Attenborough   Life on Air   First published by the BBC in 2002


David Attenborough is recorded as having been born on 8th May, 1926, about twenty years before the nominal end of the Second World War. Many people now are awake to the huge incursion of Jews into the Anglo-Saxon world, though of course this is not something new in the world. In this review I'll try to see how the Attenboroughs fitted in with the post-1945 rise of television and its control by Jews.
      Frederick Levi Attenborough (4 April 1887-20 March 1973), a 'scholar and academic administrator' and Mary Attenborough (née Clegg), a founding member of the Marriage Guidance Council, had three sons. These were Richard (b 29 Aug 1923), David (b 8 May 1926), and John Attenborough (b 1928). Plus two 'German-Jewish girls' Irene Bejach, Helga Bejach, probably part of the influx of Jews into Britain. I remember David Irving commented that this arrangement was officially temporary, and they were to be moved as soon as possible.
      Attenborough Senior was a sort of career obscure academic, finally becoming principal of University College, Leicester from 1932 to 1951. I'd guess the surname (of a local village) was adopted as a half-way stage in eliminating 'Levi'. This College later became Leicester University. It was of course yet another mediocre redbrick. Attenborough includes an anecdote to the effect that he once was in a train that stopped at Attenborough, a Leicestershire village. A loud announcement 'Attenborough!' made him think he was being personally addressed. This suggests his official surname had little meaning for him.

Life on Air omits almost everything of his early life, though he has an anecdote about receiving Wells' An Outline of History as part works by post in Leicester. This cannot be true, as Wells' Outline was 1920-ish. Perhaps he confused it with Wells' part-works on biology, which came out as The Outline of Life, and is a much more likely mine for the plagiarist.

When David was 18, in 1941, he was called up for active service, and after training was sent to fight. He was severely injured, and soon died. —Ha ha, just joking. Though I did once make a phone call to some TV celebration, or something, to ask if he'd done any original work on biology. His proxy said, no, I was in the war.
      Here's Wikipedia (mostly):– "He was educated at Clare College, Cambridge [M.A., 1947–Oxbridge M.A.s are honorary, given a year after graduation], and began work at an [unnamed] educational publishing house in 1949. In 1952 he completed a training program at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and became a television producer for the BBC."
      He ‘took his seat in the control gallery", spent 6 months as an assistant producer at Lime Grove studios. Life on Air records that the BBC paid him four times as much as his publisher. There are some interesting comments on the BBC from Attenborough, but nothing remotely serious. (A small example of something more serious: Ewan MacColl, who was married to Joan Littlewood—"His Wiki page is one long red flag. To start with, his real name was James Henry Miller" says Miles Mathis. A more important example is that ‘Joanna Spicer’ in the planning department ‘controlled all facilities’).

Wiki again: "In 1965 Attenborough became controller of the BBC’s new second television channel, BBC2. In this capacity he helped launch the dramatic production The Forsyte Saga and such landmark cultural-educational series as Jacob Bronowski’s The Ascent of Man and Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation." He also had something to do with BBC2's Great War series on the First World War; it doesn't take much imagination to guess how it was treated, and how Jewish money was not mentioned, and Jews in Russia even less mentioned. He also had something to do with the tedious Galbraith. His career as Controller of BBC2 was apparently 1965-1969, paving the way for Alistair Cooke's 1973 Cold War rubbish, and James Burke's 1978 Connections, a parade including fake science. Attenborough was Director, or a Director, of Programming: Wiki says "In radio or television, a program director or director of programming is the person who develops or selects some or all of the content that will be broadcast." This period covered the interval of US bombing in Vietnam, for the poison dwarf Kissinger. All this of course was censored by the BBC. In short, Attenborough is just another piece of shit.

Perhaps it's worth noting (1961 dust jacket of a book) that Anglia TV seems to have started wild life programmes, not, as more or less explicitly claimed by BBC, Attenborough. Something to do with the enormous sums of free money handed to the BBC. May as well add that Roger Grounds' The Private Life of Plants (1980) unindexed in Life on Air looks like a plagiarised source.

Chapter 17, The Threat of the Desk has potential interest, including Harold Wilson, Churchill, several BBC types, Boards of Management and what have you, but of course trying to guess the realities—Jewish US fake money, multiple secrets, images to be projected, hidden support for wars, inaccurate budget reports, perhaps even complaints from the BBC's ranks—is impossible.

Attenborough has a large number of book credits, but it's impossible to know what he actually did in fact. By 1984, my copy of The Living Planet was copyright David Attenborough Productions Ltd. A Book Club paperback edition is lavishly illustrated all in colour (and physically heavy, I presume because of the art paper); maybe he looked at the photos.
      His books have a passive approach to the world, I suppose natural to Jewish organisations and propagandists: he reports that early TV was live, lighting got brighter, cameras became electronic, satellites 'arrived', 16 mm film was 'replaced', colour came along, new lenses get designed, microphones improve.
      This book, but not his others as far as I know, has very little on the practicalities of getting to difficult places, or of course being barred from them. Pretty much nothing on weapons movements, wars, deaths, extermination, war zones. Or deforestation, desertification, animal deaths in south Africa, rhino horns. Or of course human races. It has been Jewish policy to pretend human races don't exist. A scribbled note of mine says Attenborough made an attempt at anthropology, omitting Jewish types like Boas and 'Ashley Montagu'.
      This is more his style:– ‘'The Mpingo Tree That Makes Music. The Mpingo tree [is this ebony?] in Tanzania has a jet-black heartwood so heavy that it sinks like a stone in water. .. David Attenborough narrates' A Green Umbrella Production for BBCtv’

Here's an amusing comment by Nicholas Jolly in a gift book The Gentleman's Guide to Travel (2006): ‘The current popularity of solo travel may well have its origins in the exploits of various television personalities who set out on voyages around the globe. The viewer gains the impression from the screen that the presented is travelling alone when wading through the mangrove swamps of the Gulf of Fonseca or ingesting hallucinogens with the Babongo people of Gabon. What he fails to realise is that 95 per cent of such footage is filmed on a set built on a disused parking lot in Shepperton, and that on the rare occasions when presenters actually do leave British soil, they are accompanied by a vast entourage that includes cameramen, director, grip, sparks, gaffer, interpreters, bodyguards, personal valet, makeup artist, a luxury Winnebago and mobile catering unit.’

This is from the BBC's Radio Times of 9-15 May, 1992, promoting a rerun of Life on Earth:
      'At home in Richmond, Surrey, he is busy writing the script of a six-part series on plants'. In fact it's impossible to work out who wrote the script for Life on Earth, if indeed it can be credited to one person; the opening title suggests, but doesn't actually state, it's Attenborough's work. Naturally no credit is given to the people who actually did the scientific work of discovery/ classification/ theory construction/ invention or whatever.
      Studio shots aren't credited; it's not made clear when shots are made in aquaria, vivaria etc., though Oxford Scientific Films clearly did something. For example, we see creatures like sea cucumbers moving over clean sand, or creature eating a jellyfish, with background of swimming-pool plain cyan; must surely be done in a studio. And insects are shown e.g. munching, with unfocussed plain green background; again, surely can't possibly be outdoors, one imagines, since cameras must be almost on top of the creatures. Another sequence, to introduce 'the next programme', number three, on insects, shows a newly-emerged transparent-winged creature vertical on a blade of grass or something against background, out of focus, of attractive sunset or sunrise; it seems likely that this too was shot with an artificial background.
      Almost complete absence of ecological considerations: e.g. creatures, though shown eating each other, aren't situated in food chains or food webs; and, emphasised by the isolated studio shots, the environmental aspects of their lives seem to be minimised. Similarly we see e.g. remote east coast shores of USA with horseshoe crabs coming ashore; nothing about destruction of habitat or contamination etc.
      Confined to animals, and moreover to those that look spectacular; plants, trees, bacteria, viruses, slime moulds, grasses, algae, are I think omitted.

In my piece on the 'Master Race' winning the Second World War, here's a section on the disguised Jew infiltration in the BBC has a few Jews in the UK, including Attenboroughs and Dimblebys and Salz of the BBC, Rothschild, and all newspapers, the so-called Guardian being especially beloved by the BBC, having a monopoly on BBC job ads.
      One of his brothers Richard "Dickie" Attenborough directed Gandhi and Cry Freedom (on Mandela) and some other films, including one on the Rillingon Place murders in London. All (surprise!) following the Jewish line.

I'll run through the chapters with an outline of incidents. For the record. It is difficult to believe any of it is true and unstaged. There's nothing for example on mass killings in Indonesia. And the Jewish line on all races being subservient to 'Jews' is followed, so there have to be staged events and staged suppression of such things as ignorance of medicine and biology, and honesty on things like Thuggee and Muti and Cargo Cults.
      Chapter 4: Infant Empires. On British TV, at the time of Michael Peacock, Alasdair Milne, several Welshmen (or more likely 'Welshmen'), such as Huw Weldon with 'an impressive war record'. This followed the model of post-1945 Britain, in which large numbers of ambitious types of no great intellect—in my opinion—tried to expand. A J Ayer in philosophy being a typical example. Panorama and General Sir Brian Horrocks and A J Taylor and Joan Bakewell were something like TV variations on the theme.
      Chapter 5: Dragons. Largely about Komodo 'dragons'. Attenborough has an accurate piece on Alfred Russel Wallace (though the name as misspelt).
      Chapter 6: A Plunge into Politics. Mostly on Suez, but also on professional politicians and the Corporation. It could hardly be expected that there could be serious discussions on such topics.
      Chapter 7: New Guinea. Information on 'standard porterage pay' which included salt. And on birds of paradise, both as head dresses for the locals and likely candidates for extinction.
      Chapter 8: Paraguay.
      Chapter 9: Solving Sound. I.e. recording it. Same techniques as ever; only radio microphones are new.
      Chapter 10: Tonga. The soup can artist said there were hardly any Queens in the world; one of them was Queen Salote of Tonga. The Royal Kava Ceremony beckoned. This chapter is relatively charming, presenting to-down view of Tonga, doing its best not to condescend. It seems most of the footage (1959 land diving - the precursor of 'bungee jumping' - anthropology without history, cargo cults) was lost in a storm in Madagascar; I'm afraid my eternal scepticism made me suspect it was unusable for other reasons. Just me, perhaps.
      Chapter 11: Radio excursions. Largely on the Galapagos islands.
      Chapter 12: Lions and Lemurs. Joy Adamson of Born Free and related violence. And Madagascar and its lemurs. And Aepyyornis remains. And Chameleons. Plus a rather tender account of animals, fish, and insects bred by Attenborough and often cared for by his wife. Watch out for bush babies, though.
      13: Top End of Australia. This was the early 1960s, when chemical warfare experiments were carried out by Americans in Vietnam. Attenborough prefers the water buffalo. And abos and their (or, 'their') paintings etc. And ghost town with the human equivalents, mostly elderly males'
      14: Casting Around. LSE rather oddly as an anthropology centre; includes Robin Fox on kinship, including the complications of Aussie aborigines. Then an amusing account of filming the London Symphony Orchestra in Japan, with one camera. And the extraordinary range of Europeans in Rhodesia (before its renaming to Zimbabwe). And Angola.
      15: A New Network. BBC2. I've already written on this, including the 26-part Great War. In 1967, colour was to be allowed by the government, permitting Wimbledon to be presented in its native green. Other cultural things were ‘Space walks on the moon’ and Bill Cotton and his band.
      16: Exotic Interludes. Desmond Morris and The Naked Ape. Morris moved to Malta as a tax dodge. Attenborough adheres to the convention of not discussing money, at all. In view of the public money absorbed by the BBC, this is contemptible. Anyway; 1968, Bali, airstrips, New Guinea. Another undiscussed topic is what is sometimes called 'sex tourism'.
      17: The Threat of the Desk. This was the era of Harold Wilson, a Jew-controlled Yorkshire puppet, and part of the coloured immigration into Britain and Ireland movement. Wilson appointed Charles Hill, who'd made money as a radio dealer, as the new Chairman, of the Board of Management. Charles Curran seems to have been appointed Director of Programmes in December 1972. Or something like that; there's little point trying to be accurate, since so much is hidden.
      Churchill urinating in the Rhine is the nearest Attenborough gets to the treatment of post-war Germany.
      18: Back to the Jungle. Includes Java. And the problems of filming glider animals.
      19: The Tribal Eye. On dealers, faked artefacts, Herbert Reiser, south American grave robberies, gold artefacts, Benin bronzes (many in the British museum) and similar matters. Discussions include potlatch, Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal, Easter Island.
      20: Life on Earth Interesting account of the politics of international TV networks on light topics. PBS eventually took on an old contract.
      21: The Living Planet 200-foot tree, 20,000 feet balloon, and the Vomit Comet. Something to do with outer space.

Forgive me if I stop here. I notice that the Smithsonian, Warner Bros and others were listed in credits, along with their Jewish names—the 'Chosen' prefer to choose each other, except when there's work to be done.

It's of some interest to speculate how many errors were incorporated into these media productions. A BBC Bristol (1978) on insects says butterflies live only a few days: definitely wrong. He says insects "are never larger than an atlas moth." Because of limits to diffusion of oxygen. That's true now, but when insects had no large they could afford to be inefficient: giant dragonflies are found as fossils in coal.
      I've just remembered: I was told by a fisherman that the Japanese use lines with 30,000 hooks to catch sharks; these loose their fins, then are thrown back.

A recent note of mine is that he was 90 in 2016. He of course follows the infantile BBC line on 'climate change', which appears to be a financial decision by science-ignorant Jews of the BBC. It occurs to me that Prof Mason might have given an excellent talk on climate change, back in about 2000. But I doubt if he was invited. And high resolution digital cameras have arrived. He shows a deep concern for pollution by plastic, without of course any grasp of the topic. Oddly, large-scale contamination by the USA goes unremarked. So does the highly suspect topics of genetic modification—surely of concern when discussing life?—and health risks of pesticides. Attenborough is just another piece of shit—at least that's an appropriately organic metaphor.


I've just noticed (30 Dec 2019) that Attenborough, the old fraud, spoke to Great Thunberg (young fraud), about her ridiculous script-reading about 'carbon footprints' and so on. It received enormous media publicity, though the PR channels and Jewish media ownerships are unmentioned. You have to laugh.
