I had a candid discussion with a credible person about biased media and propoganda by inundation. I find myself to be astout. But after talking to someone about tactics of psychological warfare, I was left feeling a bit naive. Now, knowing the falsehood of the war, I think it is time to point out how this is a psychological war and how our media plays it out. Time and time again.
Given the many families and service members doing their honorable duty and risking their life and limb, I think it is only fair to discuss this matter given how the media played out the war that America and it's taxpayers have been burdened with; remember we already saw the "Mission Accomplished" Banner.
I made the statement that propoganda is illegal in our country. It is. This is why I call Fox News treasonous. Where the US sends propoganda over the radio to Cuba, let us not forget the huge Cuban population in Florida and Miami in particular, and the fact that this broadcast propoganda is aired in our country, and this is illegal.
But propoganda goes much deeper And this story was baffling to comprehend, as it will for be for you.
I must give credit to those that came up with what the generals wanted. Probably new generals that Rumsfeld sent into Iraq. But I bet they didn't know then what they do know now, as they took direct orders and were in a foreign land and a warzone at that.
But do you remember the Fall of the statue of Saddam? And CNN still shows this today, probably 45 times a day. Were we not lead to believe that the U.S was seen as "Liberators" and welcomed? Like this is what they wanted us to perceive as reality? Remember this is your taxpayers dollars at work.
The generals came to the troops in particular those involved in psychological warfare. PSYOPS unit. And they wanted a photo op. Given the operation, this is what evolved.
They decided to take roughly 6 staged Iraqis and they brought in the heavy crane for a photo op of the fall of the Saddam statue. And they brought in the camera crew and taped it.
What they knew was the behavioral pattern of mob mentality. And they fell the statue, with 6 people running and cheering for the photo op. Only thing is it worked picturesque, in fact, better than anticipated. Watch the clip for yourself. Watch CNN for an hour, you'll probably see it.
Coming from a credible source, this was staged. Complete with heavy equipment and actors to play the role to trigger the masses for a quick photo op.
And the rest is history. And the world and American taxpayers were led to believe that Iraqis welcomed Americans as Liberators and welcomed the fall of Saddam.
But more and more service members are beginning to understand the illegalities that are becoming ever more present and obvious.
How much are we dooped into what we are believing? How much is concocted?
It is illegal to play it out in our country, but it is being played out, on the major networks.
All that led up to where we are now, was the U.S. in the right? Of course not, the U.S. Government and Bush Administration violated the Constitution by declaring war. But all along the way they are twisting reality beyond imagine to create a false way of thinking.
This is of the Neocon Agenda.
Who are these perpetrators at the top that asked PSYOPS to do their work of propoganda and then use for the world to see on propoganda Media?
That wasn't even real. What else isn't real?
Machievelli said that evil means are sometimes necessary to achieve desired ends. Only these evil doers are using our taxpayers dollars and corporate media to spin perception by propoganda to win the hearts of those that think they are seeing the facts play out.
When you watch Saddam's head fall, realize that this was a staged event. Paid for by U.S. Taxpayers.
And this was a propoganda device devised by some intelligent people that did their duty, not knowing the overall scope of the war at hand as it has played out, as we can now see today.
The way they twisted reality is no excuse for keeping these brave men and women at war. Truth is truth. Fact is fact. But nothing is adding up. Bush's Agenda just isn't adding up. But the Neocon plan has played Americans as fools, and footing the bill for their evil deeds as well.

I often commented on the fact that every shot we ever saw of Iraquis celebrating their "liberation" were always tight shots taken right at street level, exaggerating the number of people involvled. The few shots we saw from above of the statue toppling celebration revealed that there were no more than 100 people involved - this in a city of about 7 million people that had just been "liberated." Where were the rest of the freedom lovers? In the mosques thanking Allah for his merciful U.S. bombs, no doubt. :)

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I believe those statements express how I feel.
The total feeling of despair at the thought that our own government would sell us out is very hard to comprehend. The CIA, military, elected officials they are fellow Americans why would they agree to do this to their own country? We had it all maybe there is just so much I still don't understand but it continues to nag at me is, Why?
factions within.
embedded.
do not generalize your own government. In fact, do not trust your own government. Smart people do not.
Ignorance is bliss, thus psychological warfare. They know the meaning of the word manipulation. They are pros at it. They have a history of it. And they profit it from it.
ignorance is bliss. Agreed Nick.
WOODMAN, I believe you are correct in that it is more appropriatly viewed as an elitist agenda, but I think it is an assault that is being mounted on two very different fronts. What I call the communist agenda is largely ignored by the various liberal factions in our society. It pretends to champion the social causes of enviromentalism, poverty, health care, no child left behind, world courts, world hunger and global climate change while, at the same time, it disenginuously endeavors to create and demonize it's opposition as the Christian, right wing, capitalistic corporate fascists.
Many people are fooled by this, finding it difficult to stand up and appear unsympathetic toward the social causes, but finding it much easier to overlook the flawed logic behind the socialist issues and jump on the bandwagon against the equally flawed logic behind corporate welfare and organized religion.
It are these social sympathies that have been played on and made the main focus in our education system for the last forty years or so. This is the impetus behind things like the United Nations Agenda 21, and the global village mindset that I find most disturbing. I believe it is this aspect of the elitist agenda that is the most surreptitious, but carries the most forceful arguments for eliminating independant national sovereignty.
It is, however, exactly the same people behind this facet of the elitist agenda that are behind the fear mongering, global security at all costs, war on drugs, oil for food, corporate welfare, homophobic, islamophobic, moral majority and they are being extremely effective at pitting your run of the mill, hard working individuals who want to smoke a joint when they get home against your run of the mill Christian fundementalists who are not at all interested in reconstructionism and dominionism as they are portrayed in the media. Most Christians, I know, are, in fact, vigorously opposed to those movements.
It's all part of the same plan and it's working. I see it working here in these very forums and the people, even here, are, for the most part, oblivious to the fact that they are still being good sheep and playing their intended divisive roles.
You're comment is interesting because the media tends to portray Canada as a more intelligent and civilized version of the U.S. with a great healthcare system and low crime rates
Nick,
I appreciate your opinion. However I disagree with you that this is "fully, a communist agenda".
I think this is of the Elitist Agenda. And that control would come via the corporate state, and it smells of fascism and extreme right wing ideology, that of TOTALITARIANISM - not to be confused with Utopia or Communism. But thought provoking nonetheless.
The "symbolism" as described and the corporate state of media, as shown, is right out of the playbook for Mussolini Fascism and Hitler Naziism.
Maybe if you can expand on your thoughts a bit more?
I believe you are confused about the central issue here. Mussolini, Hitler, and fascism are not "right wing" movements. They are socialists movements. That is why Hitler's party were called the "National Socialists." The fundamental element in common to Communism, Facism, Totalitarianism, and the "Social Democracy" we now seem to accept in America are that they place the needs or goals of the State over the Rights of the Individual. It has been a victory for socialists in America to equate Hitler and Mussolini with the "right wing," as if they were conservative movements. They were nothing of the sort. Read "The Road to Serfdom" by Friedrich Hayek and he makes a strong argument that Hilter's Nazi's were the natural end to which a socialist society would come.

You are wrong that FASCISM and TOTALITARIANISM is of the LEFT WING SOCIALIST IDEOLOGY, I contend.
What a stretch to fall along with the idiots of right wing talk radio proclaiming that fascism is on the left. It is if to deflect attention that they are on the same side as Mussolini and Hitler, both EXTREME RIGHT WING IDEOLOGIES.
Israel...FASCIST AND EXTREME RIGHT WING. APARTHEID OF S. AFRICA IN THE DAY...EXTREME RIGHT WING.
PERHAPS TUNE IN TO MORE TALK RADIO...
THIS IS OF THE ELITIST AGENDA. THE EXTREME RIGHT AND DANGEROUS FACTIONS OF THE RIGHT.
Perhaps it's just somantics at this point, but I argue that neither the present, "neo-con" leadership of the Republican party nor the talk radio hosts that support them are "right wing," if by right wing you mean the "conservative" principles upon which our country was founded, advocated by Taft and Goldwater, and now championed by Ron Paul. Ron Paul often cites Hayek's "Road to Serfdom" as one of the most influential books on his beliefs, and there is no doubt that Hayek argues that Fascism and Nazism were the end results of socialism. I just read the book again a few months ago. As he says in the introduction,
"Few are ready to recognize that the rise of Fascism and Nazism was not a reaction against the socialist trends of the preceding period, but a necessary outcome of those tendencies." (Pg. 4)
His book goes on to argue that the England of his day (the 1940's), was on "the road to serfdom" because it was beginning to adopt the socialist principles that Germany had decades before the Nazis. He warns that England will come to a similar, totalitarian end because socialism leads to fascism and totalitarianism. If you have not read the book, I suggest you do, and make up your own mind if his argument is compelling. I found it completely convincing. At least there is no doubt that Ron Paul did, too, as he has said so many times.
As I said before, the fundamental concept here is the agenda of the State vs. the rights of the individual. Hitler was a socialist - he condemned the communists and others, but this was nothing more than infighting among socialists. He still placed the state above the rights of the individual, rather than accepting that the State existed to protect the rights of the individual.
I believe this is an important point, because the true conservative movement is harmed by association when people are led to believe that there is some relationship between "right wing" and fascism or totalitarianism. It leads to the mistaken conclusion that conservatism (true conservatism, that is) can be harmful if taken to the extreme. Individual liberty taken to the extreme was the founding principle of our nation, and led directly to the industrial revolution and all of the wonders of the modern world. It is only when we abandoned these principles at the turn of the last century that the seeds of our present problems were sown. I urge you to read The Road to Serfdom - Hayek reiterates again and again that there is a danger to associating fascim and totalitarianism with what we would properly call "right wing."

The Number of people who claim to have been "awakened" never fail to amaze me with their continued sleepwalk. They are not fully awake yet and they don't even realize it. Most of them have recognized the banksters scam to steal their money and enslave them and think that is the extent of it. That, ladies and gentelmen is just the tip of the iceburg. The Neocon agenda is, fully, a communist agenda, bent on global domination, in a capitalist costume and using more "politically correct" terms such as "international democracy". Until everyone wakes up to THAT FACT we are never going to be much more than a thorn in their side. They have done what neocons are best at. They've spun it the same way they've spun the entire concept of patriotism to make the word "liberty" almost seem like a dirty word.
The State will be incorporated.
Their plan is a comprehensive, long term plan. It is not just the centralization of credit in the hands of the Corporate State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly that many have woke up to. It includes such eventualities as the total elimination of organized religion, the abolition of private property, the centralization of the control of information, communications and transportation into the hands of the Corporate State and many, many other things that most of us have been conditioned to think of as insignificant.
Until we realize that we are the product of an education system that was specifically designed to indoctrinate us with enhanced presuppositions that are beneficial to the collectivist world view, we are doomed to small victories of little consequence tantamount to an annoying sideshow with a lot of in-fighting.
*See: The Soviet art of Brainwashing: A synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics
And Canada is at an advanced stage of necrosis in comparison to the USA. We in Canada are almost powerless to change anything any more. Disarmed, muzzled, collectivized, dictatorialized, pacified, and in a state of fear.
Canada is what America will become unless Americans do something while they still can. If America goes completely the way of Canada then Canadians like me may as well write our obituaries.
Will cake be served?
may I ask that you please reiterate your question?
