US Propaganda Enters Into Insane, Irrational Overdrive In Attempt to "Sell" War In Syria
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
Thanks to a dizzying barrage of lies, mainstream media fear-mongering and a couple of beheadings, the Obama Administration finally achieved its long sought after war in Syria. The tactic that proved most effective in mobilizing the American public back into a shivering, post-9/11 fetal position, was the same tactic used by elites in the UK to convince Scotland against voting for independence. That tactic, as I detailed in a recent post, is fear.
However, fear in itself is not enough. It must be coupled with endless slogans and misdirection by the mainstream media and politicians. It must lead the public to subconsciously embrace a thought process that is completely irrational. Such tactics can be labeled propaganda, and it results in a public suddenly supporting a war it strongly opposed only a year ago. All it takes is a little repackaging. Propaganda allows those who profit from war to push the American public into a tizzy of trepidation based on a couple of beheadings from ISIS, while not batting an eye over the daily beheadings that were simultaneously occurring in Saudi Arabia.
So the power structure and its impotent puppet, Barack Obama, intentionally pushed the American public into a frenzy of fear and finally got their little war. Nevertheless, serious people immediately began to call into question two very significant issues with respect to the aggression.
First, it appeared clear to almost everyone without a biased penchant for overseas death and destruction, that the war is completely unconstitutional and illegal no matter how you slice it. As I highlighted in the post, Obama’s ISIS War is Not Only Illegal, it Makes George W. Bush Look Like a Constitutional Scholar:
But the 2001 authorization for the use of military force does not apply here. That resolution — scaled back from what Mr. Bush initially wanted — extended only to nations and organizations that “planned, authorized, committed or aided” the 9/11 attacks.
Not only was ISIS created long after 2001, but Al Qaeda publicly disavowed it earlier this year. It is Al Qaeda’s competitor, not its affiliate.
Mr. Obama may rightly be frustrated by gridlock in Washington, but his assault on the rule of law is a devastating setback for our constitutional order. His refusal even to ask the Justice Department to provide a formal legal pretext for the war on ISIS is astonishing.
Senators and representatives aren’t eager to step up to the plate in October when, however they decide, their votes will alienate some constituents in November’s midterm elections. They would prefer to let the president plunge ahead and blame him later if things go wrong. But this is precisely why the War Powers Resolution sets up its 60-day deadline: It rightly insists that unless Congress is willing to stand up and be counted, the war is not worth fighting in the name of the American people.
So that’s glaring problem number one. The second problem, which I highlighted in the post, The American Public: A Tough Soldier or a Chicken Hawk Cowering in a Cubicle? Some Thoughts on ISIS Intervention, is that:
Did you know that the US government’s counterterrorism chief Matthew Olson said last week that there’s no “there’s no credible information” that the Islamic State (Isis) is planning an attack on America and that there’s “no indication at this point of a cell of foreign fighters operating in the United States”? Or that, as the Associated Press reported, “The FBI and Homeland Security Department say there are no specific or credible terror threats to the US homeland from the Islamic State militant group”?
So as quickly as it began, Obama’s little war had some serious PR issues. So what did the chicken-hawks do? They repackaged and resold the entire thing. Enter Khorosan.
Yep, just as quickly as ISIS spontaneously generated like maggots on meat from the sands of Mesopotamia to open the door to another Middle East quagmire, another existential threat nobody had ever heard of suddenly emerged. Not only that, but this group supposedly posed an imminent threat to America. How incredibly convenient.
Here’s ABC News compliantly pushing the latest propaganda to its lobotomized readership in the article, US Averts ‘Active Plotting Against Homeland’ By Hitting Al Qaeda Cell Khorasan in Syria:
American airstrikes in Syria have taken out members of a shadowy al Qaeda unit known as the Khorasan Group who were planning “imminent” attacks against targets including the U.S., the Pentagon said today.
Pentagon spokesperson Rear Admiral John Kirby declined to go into specifics, but told ABC News’ George Stephanopolous, “We had very good indications that this group, which is a very dangerous group, was plotting and planning imminent attacks against Western targets to include the U.S. homeland and it was on that basis that we struck targets, Khorasan targets inside Syria.”
The Khorasan Group — consisting of about 50 or so hardened fighters of mixed past and current jihadi affiliations — has been holed up in Aleppo, Syria under the protection of al Qaeda’s official wing in the country, Jabhat al-Nusra, developing cutting edge weapons of terror with the help of al Qaeda’s Yemen affiliate to strike Western civilian aviation targets, according to a half-dozen officials with knowledge of the group who spoke to ABC News.
So all of a sudden the Pentagon identifies and targets a group of 50 fighters in Syria, which happens to be conveniently tied to al-Qaeda (thus justifying strikes under the 2001 AUMF), planning an imminent attack on the “homeland.”
There are two reasons I distrust this meme. First of all, the U.S. government employs an extremely bizarre definition when using the word imminent.
As Trevor Timm noted earlier today in the Guardian:
Take, for example, this definition from a Justice Department white paper, which was leaked last year, intended to justify the killing of Americans overseas:
An “imminent” threat of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons will take place in the immediate future.
To translate: “imminent” can mean a lot of things … including “not imminent”.
Fascinating, and all this time I thought “imminent” meant “imminent.” Someone should let Merriam-Webster know they’ve got it all wrong.
The employment of this new definition of imminent was further solidified in my mind after reading an article from the New York Times titled: In Airstrikes, U.S. Targets Militant Cell Said to Plot an Attack Against the West. In it, we learn that:
American military and intelligence analysts were still studying damage reports from the initial air assault, but senior Obama administration officials expressed hope that they had killed Muhsin al-Fadhli, the leader of Khorasan and a onetime confidant of Osama bin Laden. The officials said they had been contemplating military action against Khorasan in recent months, but President Obama’s decision to hit the Islamic State’s forces inside Syria provided a chance to neutralize the other perceived threat.
You’ve got to wonder what other unrelated opportunities the ISIS campaign might allow. But I digress.
The air campaign against Khorasan and the Islamic State got underway even as Mr. Obama flew to New York to meet with world leaders gathering at the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly. Mr. Obama did not seek United Nations permission for the military campaign, but he presented the strikes as the collaboration of a multinational coalition that included five Arab nations: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain.
Yeah, well he didn’t seek approval from Congress either. Now here’s the money shot.
Most officials speaking publicly on Tuesday characterized the Khorasan threat as imminent. Lt. Gen. William C. Mayville Jr., who is in charge of operations for the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, said the terrorist group was nearing “the execution phase of an attack either in Europe or the homeland.”
But one senior counterterrorism official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said the group might not have chosen the target, method or even the timing for a strike. An intelligence official said separately that the group was “reaching a stage where they might be able to do something.”
Wait, come again? An attack is imminent, yet you don’t know which gigantic continent with hundreds of millions of inhabitants straddling opposing sides of the Atlantic ocean they were going to hit?
Furthermore, they “might not have chosen the target, method or even the timing for a strike,” and they are “reaching a stage where they might be able to do something.” Sure sounds imminent to me. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.
So with Americans back to shivering in corners filled with nightmares of Islamists under their beds, the military-industrial complex is set to do what it does best. Get paid. For some details on who will be raking in the big bucks, I turn to Tim Shorrock’s piece earlier today in Salon:
A massive, $7.2 billion Army intelligence contract signed just 10 days ago underscores the central role to be played by the National Security Agency and its army of private contractors in the unfolding air war being carried out by the United States and its Gulf States allies against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Under its terms, 21 companies, led by Booz Allen Hamilton, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, will compete over the next five years to provide “fully integrated intelligence, security and information operations” in Afghanistan and “future contingency operations” around the world.
INSCOM announced the global intelligence contract two days after President Obama, in a speech to the nation, essentially declared war on ISIS in Iraq and Syria and outlined a campaign of airstrikes and combat actions to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the terrorist group.
The top contractors on the INSCOM contract are already involved in the war. Lockheed Martin, for example, makes the Hellfire missiles that are used extensively in U.S. drone strikes (in 2013, it also won a three-year contract to train INSCOM’S “Army intelligence soldiers” in “analytical and operational disciplines”). Northrop Grumman makes the Global Hawk surveillance drone, one of the most formidable weapons in the U.S. arsenal. Both companies have large intelligence units.
The role of contractors at the command is spelled out by BAE Systems, which has its own INSCOM website. “We enhance the U.S. Army’s ability to detect, decide, and act on vital intelligence in real-time,” BAE says. “From Intelligence Analysis to Persistent Surveillance, BAE Systems is proud to provide essential and sustainable end-to-end solutions and support to the warfighter.”
As I first reported in Salon in 2007 and later chronicled in my book “Spies for Hire,” 70 percent of the U.S. intelligence budget is spent on private contractors. Much of this spending – estimated at around $70 billion a year – winds up at the NSA, where SIGINT operations, particularly for collection and analysis, were heavily outsourced at the turn of the century.
“Hayden started the privatization, but it was really Alexander who built it,” said Drake.
Alexander’s ties with INSCOM are extensive. One of the winning bidders on the new INSCOM contract is Sotera Defense Solutions. Russell Richardson, its former CEO and a former INSCOM commander, is now one of Alexander’s partners at IronNet and, under Alexander’s command of INSCOM, was its “chief architect.” Before that, Richardson was a vice president of NSA contractor SAIC, where he ran INSCOM’s so-called Information Dominance Center.
INSCOM’s ties with Booz Allen, the company that employed Edward Snowden at its top secret site in Hawaii, are equally close. Robert Noonan, who directs the company’s “military intelligence account,” served for 35 years in the military, including a stint as INSCOM’s commanding general and the US Army’s deputy chief of staff for intelligence. Roberto Andujar, the INSCOM contract leader at Invertix Corp., another contract winner, once served as the command’s chief information officer (CIO).
The revolving door between INSCOM and its contractors bothers Shaffer. “It’s a cash-and-carry program,” he said. “You go in there and get the knowledge, then you carry it out and get cash.”
The Pentagon press office referred all calls on the contract to INSCOM. The command did not comment by press time.
Wake up America. You will continue to be raped, pillaged and economically strip-mined until you stand up for yourselves, but for now, it appears the fetal position suits you just fine.

Yeah, we 'mercans love the fetal position, but its gettin real tough cuz of all those rolls of blubber. We for the most part soft, stupid, sated 'n scared.
So big brave America is afraid of the dark.
You can't say dark anymore (it's a shade and we don't want to offened the moon pie in the, well you know what house).
President Obama doesn't have to sell a war in Syria. It sells itself. Nobody wants a deranged caliphate controlling the Middle East. Finally, Obama did something right. Kudos to him.
Good idea to believe everything the MSM tells you. What could go wrong?
"Doofus" is well chosen.
Obama:
They've got oil.
We've got weapons.
They're in a zone in which Saudi, Quatar, and Israel want chaos.
That's immininent.
Remember: we are no longer "protected" by the Smith-Mundt act of 1948 which outlawed propaganda on the American people. Full scale homeland propaganda is now completely legal. Carry on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith%E2%80%93Mundt_Act
Thank goodness that act is now defunct. It violated my first amendment freedom to lie.

Listen Doctor. Let me be real clear here.
It's evident to this "OUTSIDE" observer that the USSA certainly earns it's terrorist attacks.
What? You say? "There should be NO repercussions"......
Yea right. "JUST" more opportunities for Emanualistic crisis engineering.
You Americans better "FIGHT" the power or it's all over for you, soon! Put down your Twitter-pad and engage in reality.

You seriously need to ask yourself why the USA needs to jump in every conflict on the planet, funded by the US taxpayer, who is utterly cash strapped!

as they say in Italy " You arm yourselves and you go " ! . You will never catch me making war for the greater Jewish state and the banksters .
I could have gotten behind this sentiment, if president Obama weren't so busy channeling his predeccesor in both words and actions. Even the "axis of evil" appears to be resurfacing.

Americans never respond to domestic problems in a serious manner until it becomes dire. God help us then.
I hope that the State Dept got a good discount on all those new trucks they gave to the FSA that gave to the IS. Did they get cookies, too?
Fear worked well so expect them to continue. I'm giving 50:50 odds of a false flag ISIS attack on US soil by end of October. Expect it to be bigger and better than past attacks if it happens.
What for? They got what they wanted.
O'Bummer 1, Putin 0 = Qatar Pipeline
Its fine as long as we are bombing brown people in sand. Bonus points if we get other brown people to bomb brown people in sand.
Nah, they'll bury al-Bagdhadi at sea, right next to Bin Laden, in October. This nightmare can't go on too long.
I'm more worried about our own police terrorists than I am about a government fabricated terrorist threat.
I should think so; what is the ratio again; it's thirty times more likely you'll be killed by a US Cop than a terrorist.?
I'm afraid that I'm not PSYOParanioic enough...though I'd rather have a cold dose of TERRORnoia than TYRANNoia....
Democrats and liberals would vote for him tomorrow and every day until they die.
A few sites said Russia has at least 5 larger naval vessels in port at Tartus in Syria.
It looks like it is time for Manchurian Candidate Obama to have his minions stage another "false flag" attack. But where? The location is obvious, considering how many protected pedophiles are among the NWO supporters of Obama: DISNEYWORLD.
Just stay away from the 18th green!
An ISIS attack at Sandy Hook?

"Are we not men? We are pansies!"
I don't know about everyone else, but my 'fear' burnt away a couple of years ago.
Fucking Bring It Bitch.
Whether it's our own government, the Mexican Horde, or ISIS...BRING IT.
I'm done with fear. I'm in resentment, pissed, fuck you land.
Bring it, bitch, whoever you are.
Listen Phart,
You are second in line for the "SPECIAL" CIA-FEMA camp.
Re-education is "GOOD" for you. "TRUST" me, I know these things.
To be called Syria woulnd't it need to be in that countries control? Which it is not

I was watching the evening network news today. The media is pushing scare propaganda like crazy!
Be afraid, sucker!!!
And yes, if they watch network news, they're signing on the line that says "sucker."
I ain't afraid, President Camacho has a three point plan to fix everything, else he's going to kick Joe in the balls and throw his brainy ass back in jail!

In the fucked-up bizarro land that is political definitions in modern America, a place where Orwellian doublespeak rules the airwaves and the bad guys are the good guys are the bad guys in Schrodinger's Cat fashion, it can mean whatever the hell you want it to mean.
Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost more than $6 trillion. And creating ISIA and destroying will cost tens of billions if not hundreds of billions. But not to worry, Yellen can print up all the money you want to illegally bomb a sovereign country.

The Nobel Prize Winner will not be denied his war in Syria:
Few in the corporate-controlled media have bothered to point out that this latest intervention comes precisely one year after the Obama administration was compelled to back off from previously planned air strikes against Syria that were to be launched on the basis of an entirely different pretext—the subsequently discredited lie that the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had employed chemical weapons against his own people.

Anniversaries are important to Muslims.
Only because they are important to sheep.
Theres a jewcat in the hen house. Wait until isis lands all those drones and reprograms them and the moon pie has to explain why his drones are falling on the jew sandbar known as israel.
ISIS doesn't kill or otherwise attack Israelis. In fact, Israeli hospitals patch up ISIS fighters. IOF shells The Syrian Army in response to what the IOF claims are ISIS provications.
So no, I don't think ISIS reprogramed drones will be flying over Israel.
Listen Being! What are you? Crazy?
The threat is everywhere especially in the USSA "HOMELAND".
You are correct, the threat is everywhere especially in the USA: Zionists.
Do you include te 2.3 Trillion that Rummy mentioed?
No worries about printing moar trillions...the tribe that hijacked the good ole USA is annexing plenty of oil nd rare earths down there, moar than enuf collateral to cover the debt when the party's over...and don't forget, the whole world has been designated 'US battlefield', so I wont be at all surprised if the whole rest of the planet is next..that's how privateer pirates have always worked...

Not sure the bombs are killing "scores"...maybe just dumping ordnance in the desert for effect. Next we hear Al ISISILKhorasanqueda has been routed, has melted away, and the US will leave a security force that happens to form a corridor from Qatar to Turkey. Assad stays and Putin yields a rook.

What's all this outrage about things being "illegal" and "unconstitutional"? That shit went out the window years ago. This is your elected boy-king and he'll do whatever he's told. There's nobody even pushing back any more. Botching up the first attempt to enter Syria through the front door earned Obama a trip behind the woodshed. He's not anxious for another one. So now we enter through the back door.
There WILL be war. It WILL last for years, just as they say. And at the end of it we WILL be bloodied and bruised (again) doing somebody else's bidding with NOTHING to show for it.
We are the biggest chumps on the block. We're being played, and not just by internal forces.
There is blood in the water after that UN "Speech". I couldnt even bring myself to watch it, whats the point?! All that happens is some empty suit stands in fornt of a microphone and lies.

I, like most I know, fear the ever present and all surrounding gun and badge thugs encountered when moving about on a daily basis. I, and they, fear being robbed, accosted, assaulted, injured, and/or killed.
Or put another way, not once has some Muslim come up to me and demanded reverence while robbing me under threat of being shot or tazed. Not once. Not once has a Muslim threatened to put me on a "watch," "terror, "no-fly," and "kill" list. Not once.
An American, not US subject.
The American people really need to realize that a choice is coming whether they like it or not: They can wither away in poverty and misery with everyday a fight to just survive or fight to take back the county, the American country, from these treasonous criminals and murderers.
The choice is coming: Persecution or Revolution.
The Four Rs
Rejection: Quit paying, quit obeying, quit playing
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution.
Restoration: Restore the American people, country and Constitutional republic.
That's easy, Americans have chosen persecution obviously. Ok, middle class sheep anyway. FSA, MIC, everybody else is on a gravy train.
And sheep don't revolt.
Hang on, bubus americanus is about to spend some time on the rack as economic reality hits home. Maybe that will change the way the wind blows??
Hang on, bubus americanus is about to spend some time on the rack as economic reality hits home. Maybe that will change the way the wind blows??
Thats actually becoming an insult to sheep. Maybe pet rocks would be more approps at this point.
The primary tool of corrupt regimes = fear.
Look at healthcare, fear you'll go bankrupt, or fear you'll be in trouble with the I.R.S.
Same thing with enforcing the police state and militarizing local police, fear you might get hurt ("terrorist", "drug user", "gun-toting Libertarian", or the blanket "bad guys"). Never-mind that you are more likely to be killed by the police themselves by a wide margin.
Oh yeah, and "save for retirement". What will you do if you don't send your IRA/401K/Savings to Wall Street!? You'll starve! You won't be able to "live comfortably", you won't be able to afford "medical bills" (insurance? ACA? - you'll need supplemental insurance for your insurance!).
Fucking Ponziconomy Kleptoligarchy we have become.
SAD.
Ponziconomy Kleptoligarchy...very nice EB..
Plus the US model is being forcefully exported all around the world, sneaking in on the back of "free-trade" agreements like the TPP [https://www.eff.org/issues/tpp], the favoured method of policy laundering by TPTB [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policy_laundering].
A bunch of unelected, unaccountable, multinational, globalist, "neoliberal" fascists (not an oxymoron), with their various puppet politicians acting as a shield to absorb popular anger and prevent any damage to the true powers, and their captive state militaries to do the dirty work.
So called 'free trade' agreements only remind me of this:
"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery." - Thomas Jefferson
The only thing these political parties are truly bipartisan about... fucking over the American people.
The war mongers will continue to wreak havoc on the world until the citizens have decided they have had enough. The US is in unchartered territory as far as int'l war making goes. Sooner or later, somebody, some group or some country will stand up and say enough is enough. And hopefully the people who are responsible for making all the wars are forced to die a thousand deaths.
Thanks Mike - But we are way beyond MSM propaganda at ZH.
"Seymour Hersch, perhaps the last of the genuine honest reporters in the MSM, wrote that the entire daring capture and execution of Osama bin Laden featured in Zero Dark Thirty, was a brilliant and profitable lie from beginning to end. Unfortunately Seal Team Six cannot say one way or the other, since they all died in a helicopter crash soon after. Dead men tell no tales, I guess.
"Seymour Hersch suggested one way to improve the mainstream media: “Close down the news bureaus of NBC and ABC, sack 90% of editors in publishing and get back to the fundamental job of journalists which is to be an outsider.”
The American Media Is The Enemy Of The American PeopleTHIS! Exactly this! They are spewing forth from their whore mouths nothing but absolute lies and at the UN none the less! Dont get me wrong, Im no fan of the UN ot NATO or any of that rubbish, but hot damn! To stand up and just lie like that, speak absolutely NOTHING but hypocracies and LIES! In front of hundreds of people that know for a fact they are lying! How does Obombya and Mr. Ed do that without throwing up? Like seriously just hurling? Or laughing? Or something? How is it they can act as if they believe their own shit, which floweth freely form their mouths? This is proposterous in a rational society.

One can only hope. I'm really gravitating towards a Hail Mary, hoping that somewhere, somehow, in this enormous expanse of the universe, Aliens drop in from the sky and clean house. I seriously dont see a positive outcome to any of this without some immediate 3rd party intervention. But, I doubt that would happen.....
American heros are rewarded these days with death, maiming or firing and black balling.
The, the Khorasan!?!?!?!?! Run for the hills! They the biggest, baddest boojie-man evuh!!!!
khorasan ia grain from the near east i believe it is called kamut in the usa king tut of egypt long ago was a big fan.
emmer wheat is another oldie but goody.
you cannot beat barley i tell ya very interesting and flexible grain.
thye oldest is einkorn now that is the bees knees the bollox probably shipped to iraq 100 thousand years ago by beings from space.
einkorn has only 14 chromosomes it is the stuff of the gods yes sir simple yet devine.
as far as khorasan the all new terror group goes that is just a sick tel aviv city of london psy operation to create linkage with iran and 911 for future escalation once damascus falls and the zion train moves onto iran init
Take a bushel of barley, a little einkorn and let soak in very warm water for an hour; add hot water and bring to a boil; toss in some hops then cool as rapidly as possible; once cool add the magic that is yeast and you've got Gods Lubricant (beer) which was discovered in this region some 9000 years ago. So you think they are going to try to link 9/11 to Iran, eh? Sounds about right. Is there any hair-brained scheme, genocidal excursion, or terror pogrom these guys won't consider?
"They the biggest, baddest boojie-man evuh!!!!"
until the next one..
ho hum..
What a bunch of pussies we have become. Cowardly greedy belligerent pussies. I'm ashamed.
We must all remember there are many ways to kill people and that beheading is only one of them. Bombs are not precise and wherever they fall people remember the event as part of their history long after the droppers have forgotten and minimized the event. It is not good to be desensitized to the killing we do as a nation. Now that we utilize mercenaries the general population stays pretty much detached from the violence.
I am betting our bombs decapitate more innocent people than the terrorists do. We can’t se e the blood so hardly a soul cares.
http://quillian.net/blog/
Your bombs don't just decapitate people, they tear them to shreds.
Yeah, I remember Rumpsfeld telling us how humanely we shred them.
Bush was the last to use the big infantry troop invasion tactic. The faux-peace man's regime realized the way to keep the populace "detached from the violence" was simply to use mercenaries, drones and bombers. It's the formula for perpetual war. Plus, they've created various factions or armies of international jihadists who also serve as proxy mercenary forces. No flag draped coffins arrive home. Those few which still arrive are no longer covered by the complicit media. No lists of dead are read on CNN any longer.
Permanent war is here.

In the early years of the 21st century, to combat the rising tide of petrodollar unorthodoxy, Pope John McCain gave Sunni militants leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land of Syria in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. This was the ISIS Inquisition...
As much as people like to go after McCain (usually closet Obama voters) the fact is that McCain is one of 100 Senators. He has zero power to divert money, weaponry, training or any support to ISIS. He's a blowhard but that's it. The decision and action to create and support ISIS and the Libyan jihadists were done by the Obama Regime. Period.
He uses his bully pulpit to spread fear and manipiulate the sheep, he is complicit not as much as the regime but complicit nonetheless and me a closet Obama voter. You a funny guy.
no upvote on that one...as if you belive the red/blue team fauxhood...
"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance," wrote Albert Einstein. But Americans preferred to believe their American media.
"This is the same press that follows protesters around, supporting their complaints about how the Constitution is being trashed, but nary a word when Habeas Corpus was suspended" wrote USMC veteran Gordon Duff exactly FOUR years ago in a column called, Public Enemy Number One: The American Press,
If first you do not succeed, try try again...
This, if nothing else should be absolute proof that the US government is completely and utterly insane!
If first it backfires all over you, try try try the exact same thing over again...and again...and again...and again...and again.... .... ...
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance"...FDR
And now, the thing we need to fear most is our own warmongering government that has become the prime source of spreading "nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror" for the purpose of paralyzing all rational thought.
FDR wasn't the first fascist, Lincoln arguably was one of the first big ones, but FDR was one of the most prominent.
Historians know that the most important sources are primary ones drawn from the actual participants in the events. Here is a brief but very representative sample of the "fascist" rhetoric of the 16th President of the United States.
March 17, 1865
From the Address to the 140th Indiana
"...I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery, I have a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."
Here is another snippet that has been recently going the rounds thanks to Mark Levin constantly touting his father's book, but it remains as powerful today as when the entire class was required to memorize them back in the 1960s.
"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan-- to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations."
It was an overcast, rainy day when Lincoln took the oath of office for the second time. When he reached the final paragraph of his address reproduced above, a single beam of sunlight burst through the clouds and illuminated the spot on which he stood, and a bright star later identified as the planet Venus could be seen through the opening in the cloud cover.
You really believe that those are the words of a fascist? What part of them do you disagree with?
Lincoln, like Churchill, shows how far despotic warmongers can hypocritically disguise their motivations with sublime rhetoric. The rhetoric is indeed sublime; all the more reason to grieve the causes in which it is employed.
With his actions you will know him. Stop reading their speeches and characterizing these fools by their words.
Lincoln was the first definition of fascism, he sent federal troops against civilian war protesters in NYC, he slaughtered thousands of others. He used state power to benefit the railroad companies - the mega corporations of the day, and that's just to start. He despised black people, and the abolitionists hated him.

Now we hear that Belgium & Netherlands are joining the Collision.....er, i mean 'Coalition of the self-proclaimed Lords of the world'! That was expected since Belgium, with those massive bond purchases is now the US's banker & the Netherlands is kissing up so that maybe perhaps they'll get some the their gold back...yeah right.....like that is gonna happen!!

Been studying Rome for my Masters. We follow them to the letter. Endless wars, debased money, debased morals, militarism, selfish worship of our Emperor as God on earth. The reckoning approaches. I'm leaving in the next couple years. I can't see it getting better. This is it. Id say stay and fight, but this country is filled with zombies, endless zombies.
18 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

- "Captain Eric May, former military intelligence, predicts an upcoming event similar to the WTC bombing for Houston, Texas. "The same way NYC got rid of the WTC and Larry Silverstein made billions, Houston's port/petro complex is badly in need of demolition, ergo target Houston for 911-to-be."

- "Many readers predicted the next attack would occur at a sports or recreation site. This stadium scenario has been around since the movie "Black Sunday." (In this movie the Israelis save the day from terrorists, since Chuck Norris hadn't been invented yet). And what is more sacred, more of a national religion, than sport?

Three cheers for "the Coaltition", pass the Fairy Dust.
The Fourth Estate has become just as presstituted as our prostituted whores of CONgress. It should be sad and shameful just how cheaply they have sold themselves and their souls for the privilege of herding the sheep.They are just as corrupt and guilty as the oligarchs and the banksters, pulling the strings of the Muppet Show 'Merica and bamboozling the public.
For those of us awake and enlightened, the gubbermint must be truly desperate to keep war going in any part of the world... Including even here. We are truly fucked as they will do anything and say anything to create as much fear and as many bogeymen to keep the masses quivering.
They are all such despicable scoundrels...
Guard: Don't fight it son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.
Hey these guys joined with the primative Saudis and took down the World Trade Centers with weapons of mass destruction. They are totally insane. Syria is as Ukraine is to Russia. Washington D.C. and Brussels has started WWIII with Russia. I'm bugging out of talking about this one. Too F'n wacko even for Q99X2. I'm going to college and studying the things I love most in life. If I die doing that I'll have died well.
Where does this statement come from?
"...pushed the American public into a frenzy of fear" ?
I feel like Americans are either ambivalent or ignorant of this, not fearful. Obama does what he wants and ignores the public, Congress, and the Constitution. He doesn't need to push anyone.
Um, whose side is we on?
Not that I care so much. The time we should have attacked Syria was 2003-2005 as they facilitated jihadis coming to fight the US in Iraq.
But I'm just not sure if we're attacking them or defending them.
I think "we" ("they" decide for us in advance) are on the side of the guys with the big fat juicy defense contracts.
Attacking with the intent of destroying the country; I think Assad should declare War on the USA and sink the Carrier and the Missile destroyer. fuck em. Let em. try to explain that away.
Interesting take by Robert Parry: Reported US-Syrian Accord on Air Strikes. OBomber 'covered his crime' with the line 'we did not request the regime's permission'.

"The only language understood by killers (that we trained and armed) like this is the language of force. So the United States of America will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death,” Obama said." (with force)

I guess I missed the part where the public was invited to comment. I also missed the fear part. It didn't even effect the timing of my morning constitutional it was just like "Hello War on Today!" The government is no longer representing the American public it's on it's own path- God help us all.
Ironically, the sheeple that now cry the loudest for.gov to protect them from the big bad wolf will be the very same ones who will ask "How did this happen in America?" when the veil is lifted and it is revealed that all their freedoms have been stripped away.
How did this happen? It happened because you let it happen. Full stop. End of story.
For the safety of Americans everywhere you will lockup the Obama Administration. "So it shall be written, so it shall be done."
What I find missing in almost all discussions of US involvement in Syria, although it is certainly not a secret, is the drect tie-in between the US initiated deposing Gaddafi in Libya and the US initiated war against Assad. Indeed, it is extremely likely that the Libyan war had little to do with gold or oil, but instead was to obtain weapons (and terrorist militia) not directly traceable to the US to overthrow Assad in Syria.
It is extremely well documented that Benghazi, where the Libyan overthrow started, was also the seat of CIA Libyan operations, and that Benghazi was also the major point of shipment from Libya to Syria for weapons seized from Gaddafi.
Libyan and Syrian conflicts timing also dovetails in perfectly

Fear.
The first conditioned human response that almost every human receives when they are born.
Imagine, there you are. Warm and comfy in moms tummy and then suddenly, wham! You are down the shoot to where? And then, the lights. Ahhhhh. And then, the cold. Brrrrrrrr. And then, the snip. Yowwwwwwch! And the piece de resistance'....SPANK. WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! And it's off to the races called life. All the first conditioned response into the new life form to nurturer and control for the rest of the beings life span. FEAR!!!
And so it goes, that first well embedded memory of fear and a fright that is well neutered in the long life walk ahead. Babylonian control methodology 101. Now it is propagated and further conditioned mostly for control purposes, but also for food for the darker energies that are there at the helm of the ship of fear propagating and regurgitating the blah blah to convince the gullible to just about believe anything in the whacka-doo world of the money-god.
At the top of the pyramid, think of the Skesies drinking the life force from the Gelfling. How many ways is your energy siphoned and sucked away from you in the daily world/matrix through the use of fear? How many completely walk through the day with out some fear coming up from deep within to control an action, word, or worse, an evil deed?
In our daily life walk, all beings express their energy either mentally or spiritually from one of two places. You are either coming from a place of fear, or a place of Love. All dysfunctional and abnormal human behavior comes from a place of fear. If it is not Love, what is it?
Learning to understand and identify what the base or deep and sometimes unconscious fears are is the first step towards the natural path of walking in love, one day at a time. Or, are all your words, deeds, and actions all from that place of Love deep in the heart, or are they from a more emotional/mental place of fear? Choose well, for each brings the consequences, or karmic retribution. That is what many humans do not know about. The real spiritual planes where this knowledge, the true Light is the normal Law. It is engraved in Stone in some worlds, and in some like this one, this one where 2+2=5, up is down, and black is white, it is engraved on the walls of the rubber room, in the colors of blood.
Everyone tells a lie in their life. Sometimes more than a few. The most evil criminal and wicked thing ever created in the history of the world is the modern main stream media. They have come from a free press that was actually interesting because it told the truth and gave real useful information, to being the worst bunch of habitual liars and dis/mis-informationist propagandists ever. For this one reason alone, the American people are losing their country to those who own the media and banks. When lying has become the national past time, the country is doomed.
Ask, what am I afraid of when you feel it. If it is not something in your face, it is in your head. Step out and away from the will believe anything head and say, walks in Love. One day at a time.
Stay tuned for how to heal the first conditioned respone of fear.
I once wrote:
It's as if I had wrote it
but better. http://takimag.com/article/triumph_of_the_mediocre_theodore_dalrymple
It comes down for me to:
“The mediocre triumph because, having little or nothing else to do, they can devote themselves to intrigue, backstabbing, and jockeying for power. ”
That’s what I think about soldiers, bueraucrats and politicians. I’m not even sure about it’s mediocre part, but intrigue, backstabbing and the like. I simply call it dishonesty. I found that over and over again and very well laid out in The 48 laws of power.
And now my biggest problem with it. I do not want to live that way (and I think I’m not). I do not want to get ruled and I do not want to rule. Ruling is for cowards (IMHO), they just let others die for them, that’s the simple rule of ruling. Oh there are some brutes ammong them, but most would never even dare to day they let do others their killing (literally). How many members of congress have gone to war. The real one where one can die in an instant? How many presidents have died in war? Hardly anyone, just look the last world war. How did they die? The killed themselved, burned themselves and the like. Any immediate threat thrown at an enemy? Well hardly, some have tried to kill Hitler, but unfortunatly failed.
But look around today. Whose dying? Hardly the old men, who have decided to go to war. Be it against terrorism, or whatever… Young stupids who are convinced that they are doing something great for their country. but in the end it’s this ruthlessness and backstabbing mentioned above.
We are much poorer world because of “politicians”….
These sound like the lines used by serial killers and other psychos who act in response to voices in their heads feeding their paranoia.
"We had very good indications that this group, which is a very dangerous group, was plotting and planning imminent attacks against Western targets to include the U.S. homeland and it was on that basis that we struck targets, Khorasan targets inside Syria."
"We believe that the individuals that were plotting and planning it have been eliminated and we’re going to continue... to assess the effectiveness of our strikes going through today," Kirby said.
"The strikes on the Khorasan Group were made "to disrupt the imminent attack plotting against the United States and Western interests conducted by a network of seasoned al Qaeda veterans... who have established a safe haven in Syria to develop external attacks, construct and test improvised explosive devices and recruit Westerners to conduct operations," Centcom said.
