fake news II

Filed under: socio-political

I mentioned before how the military’s contemplation of fake news stories also put me in mind of 911. Mostly I was thinking about the 9-11 commission. Their report was so obviously flawed that I had to wonder if it was another piece of fake news. So I began searching around on the net. As I began my search and results were coming in I couldn’t help but think of the flash presentation of the pentagon strike that was released sometime last year. Before even that, was the infamous book on 9-11 by Frenchman Thierry Meyssan. Both resulted in almost violent reactions including Washington post articles on 911 conspiracy theories and talk shows all discussing those kooky conspiracy theorists. I guess people started asking questions about the official story of 9-11 and someone was very unhappy. As I now look into the fake news possibilities, I wonder if all the resulting articles and discussions about those ‘ conspiracy kooks’ weren’t just part of the fake news propaganda. If you think my wondering is crazy I’m not the only one. I found an interesting blog about flight 77 by someone called perfect infidel. Today’s entry talks about how some people in powerful foreign government circles know the real deal about it and their silence helps to perpetuate the fake news phenomenon.

This infidel shared info about a woman named Laura Knight-Jadczyk who has a website with a TONS of info. I had even posted a link from her site a few post back. It’s not just about the state of the nation but the world and more; Ms Jadczyk had a link to the pentagon strike flash presentation! She had pretty much laid out in loads of articles how fake news is the norm long before the newspapers released what the military was thinking. So of course I ended up reading about her ideas on COINTELPRO and I even read some of the bogus sites themselves that are set up to discredit any real questioning. She brings up stuff about mossad, 9-11 and Hitler and goes where Michael Moore wouldn’t dare. If so inclined, you can check out Ms Knight-Jadczyk’s site. http://signs-of-the-times.org/signs/signs.htm
In the meantime i’ll look into who else is talking about this stuff.

Fake News

Filed under: socio-political

All is not well on the homefront when stories like this is in the news. It is a news story about the military thinking about planting fake news stories. What this really means is as always, it’s already been done.

As part of George Bush’s war on terrorism, the military is thinking of
planting propaganda and misleading stories in the international media.

A new department has been set up inside the Pentagon with the Orwellian title of the Office of Strategic Influence.

It is well funded, is being run by a general and its aim is to influence public opinion abroad.

You mean they aren’t already doing this? Come on, it’s nothing new and it’s not just governments. How about all the propaganda from religion? Since there’s been a new pope,a review of ‘news’ relating to the pope in light of St Malachy’s prophecies would be interesting, but I won’t go into it all here. Suffice to say, there is and has always been much propaganda and lies in every sphere. Sorting out what led to our current state as a nation, is like searching for a needle in a haystack, even when there’s plenty of needles in the stack.
Once again America has taken the lead in hiding behind lies and distortions while the evidence is plain for all to see. What’s worse our loud bragging ways makes it hard not to talk about it. What we get instead is stuff like the 911 ‘truth movement’ but that I’ll talk about later.

Beast Empire or Vegetative State?

Filed under: socio-political

As I was reading the article about the persistent vegetative state of America I wondered why this might be. Americans are very driven people. We are also relatively kind in giving to charities because we can afford to compared with many other nations. Though the evidence says we don’t always follow through on our pledges. Considering those with much less to give, what can be said about how much we give qualitatively as well as quantitatively? There is also the issue of those we give to or the strings attached to some of our giving, but we do have some good attributes. Right? Lately I’ve been feeling like Abraham in the bible story concerning Lot. I’ve been wondering about whether or not a loving god would destroy a city if only some of it’s inhabitants are righteous. If I remember the story of lot correctly the city was destroyed even when one righteous family was found. Lucky for him god guided them out as the city fell apart.

We claim America to to be a god fearing nation. In fact I cannot go out in public without someone preaching his or her gospel to me. What is very puzzling to me is that the very texts we swear by have enough examples to show what the consequence for our behavior as a nation will be. What is it that makes most of us so blind to the plight of what is happening in the rest of the world? Are we so sure that god will guide all the “righteous” Americans out? Who are these righteous people and where could they go when so many hate us and our freedoms? Why are we so hated? Is it because of our blindness to even the plight of our fellow citizens? Maybe we behave the way we do because we feel we inherited the rights or what someone at the next link would call the “allowances” granted to the chosen nation of god in the bible. This includes the right to wage war and we’ve certainly been exercising it from our birth as a nation. Do we see war as keeping the peace ? We know darn well that our tax dollars finance the murder of unnamed men women and children instead of providing food, education and health care for even our own. We don’t put up much of a fight against such monstrosities so I have to ask questions.

A few protest here and there but that also seems to be an effort wasted because many of us have no real clue of what protest really is or what the protest itself is really about. Then there is cointelpro where agents love to inflitrate activist groups. Most of us everyday citizen slaves don’t give a second thought as to how we keep the oil, dollars or whatever the symbol of material prosperity we crave going. Even when we put up a fight it’s really to protect our own material comfort. I thought about this when a friend of mine speaking of the pope a few days ago asked whether or not US force would have killed him along with the Iraqis if he had made himself a human shield in the middle of Fallujah. We don’t know for sure or do we? Personally, I think they would have killed him and blame some Arab or they’d pull a Guliana style operation and kill someone in his entourage as an example not to meddle in the vegetative state’s business.

Ok I won’t be so cynical but form the looks of things, the standard forms of protest don’t really work for Americans. Why would that be? Are we of this great nation founded by those seeking religious freedom really so spiritually, morally bankrupt? If so, how can we be spiritually bankrupt when IN GOD WE TRUST is written on our chief means of exchange? Could it be that the destiny of America is to be the beast of revelation, the beast described in our own religious text? That indeed would be an ironic twist of fate. What is sadder is that as each day passes we increasingly fit the bill quite well.
