ISIS Re-Tool: Better Late Than Never

Okay I have a very vocal opponent of the job Obama and the military leaders are doing against ISIS and I guess all terror…..I have said that more emphasis should be placed on countering the message that these terror groups are putting out……bombs kill people but seldom will they kill an idea…..we are fighting an idea as much as a physical force…..

Anyway in case you missed some of my ranting on this subject….I can refresh your memory or give you a new one……

In case that one was not what you were looking for……..try this one…….

Apparently someone was reading……(probably not IST but I can have my moment anyway)…….

Frustrated by its unsuccessful attempts to combat the Islamic State’s online influence, the White House on Friday announced a new messaging offensive and ramped up pressure on technology companies to help battle back the terrorist group’s propaganda and recruitment efforts.

In Washington, the Obama administration unveiled two initiatives — a federal task force and a hub in the State Department — designed to strengthen the government’s efforts to counter violent extremism on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.

Meanwhile, the White House dispatched top officials to Silicon Valley on Friday for a high-profile, two-hour meeting with executives like Apple CEO Tim Cook, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. The conversation, sources later told POLITICO, largely was cordial — but the Obama administration clearly turned up the volume in its effort to secure the industry’s support in fighting ISIL’s digital footprint.

Propaganda is playing a larger role than ever before…..in the 1930’s Germany it was everything to indoctrinate and in today’s world thanx to the media it is once again playing a larger role than it should…..
The government as well as the media is pushing a paradigm…….there is an excellent piece on this program of terror, fear and loathing…..
Finally someone has pulled their head out of the butt……the problem now is that the US will have to play catch up…..will it be effective or will it just be another fart in the wind or just business as usual?
Keep in mind the billions that is made by the M-IC off of the threat of terrorism…..so propaganda makes good financial sense…..
I know a lot of reading but give it a try….you just might learn something…..

  1. Forget the propaganda; forget the rhetoric. Use your Second Amendment Rights and if terror pokes its ugly head at you, you at least have a chance to defend yourself. 911 isn’t going to get the job done.
