Yep the Plastic Ono Band is playing in the background……but it is a valid statement….at least in my mind…..
Since my stint in the Army and experiencing war first hand I have been an anti-War advocate…..even been called a peacenik….but that was many years ago and that term has gone out of fashion….
Look at the MSM they are as pro-war as can be done…..the anti-war people have no chance for their side to be heard in this society…..it is the data these toads get and pass on to the public…..it is pure propaganda no matter how you try to cut it…..
Good data is needed for any debate….without it there is NO debate….
The world has witnessed a historic decline in world peace over the past decade that interrupts the long-term improvements since the Second Word War.
This trend is largely driven by the intensifying conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa. Terrorism is at an all-time high, battle deaths from conflict are at a 25-year high, and the number of refugees and displaced people are at a level not seen in sixty years. Notably, the sources for these three dynamics are intertwined and driven by a small number of countries, demonstrating the global repercussions of breakdowns in peacefulness.

To illustrate how bad info is passed on to the public…..let’s look at this…..
Two new congressional reports conclude senior military officials skewed information to make it look like the war was going better. The question is why.
Senior officials at U.S. Central Command manipulated intelligence reports, press statements, and congressional testimony to present a more positive outlook on the war against the so-called Islamic State, a House Republican task force concluded in a damning report released Thursday.
The report, written by the members of the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees and the Defense Appropriations subcommittee, confirmed more than a year of reporting by The Daily Beast about problems with CENTCOM analysis of the war against ISIS.

This is our reality now…..look at the invasion of Iraq in 2003…..predicated on lies…..and little has changed since those days….
The American people are lied to on a daily basis and few attempt to find the real story….and we are now involved in multiple conflicts because of that laziness.
Thanks to that laziness the public mind is managed by the MSM……
Life is complicated; or appears to be. The arguments leading up to last week’s UK referendum on EU membership involved claims and counter-claims concerning trade, economic impacts etc. whereas the real issue at hand is concentrated power: self-determination versus unaccountable technocratic rule. By discussing immigration and framing the debate in terms of fear of the future (untold disasters were promised should people vote to leave the EU), the question of who rules became peripheral to the debate. The complexity of such issues is contrived to deceive.
Daily Pickings has often referred to Edward Bernays and mass manipulation. In this article, Andrew Gavin Marshall explains how education and media evolved as weapons of mass manipulation under the direction of the Rockefeller Foundation. Propaganda quickly became the means to subvert and control the “will of the people”.

The MSM refuses to highlight Clinton’s war hawk attitudes…..her siding with the M-IC…..
Yes the public are sheep….sad thing is that they have decided to be just that.
This is why I am still a supporter of Obama. He can only execute on the data that is presented to him. Yet, many people (especially the Blacks) have been very quick to crucify him. Sad!
The data is gamed for a specific purpose….more war.
look at Clinton….blacks love him and he did more damage than good….why?
Both Clintons are IDIOTS. My heart goes out to the American people this election. If it were me: I’d find another Country to call home.
But we love it here….even with all the bad choices we make….
Your friend, Obama, will soon control things from the sidelines in the shadow of the Clinton cabal. Fear not! The New World Order will continue unabated as the coronation of the new Queen proceeds.
I love this article and especially where you say … “Look at the MSM they are as pro-war as can be done . . .” (and look who they are working their tail ends off to support for election as President …. The Big Hill … Hillary, that’s who they are campaigning for. [Yes, the MSM is campaigning for Clinton …. it is blatantly in-your-face obvious ….] The war-embracing hawkish MSM campaigning for Clinton … what does that say about who is hawkish and who is not? Too too obvious!
I have said on numerous occasions that Trump makes some good points in foreign policy and then he fucks it up with something stupid…this country is hawkish to the bone….
Especially the MSM as you have noted in a recent post and guess who the MSM is working their rear ends off to campaign on behalf of …. Hillary of course. What does that say about how hawkish she might be? They love her so much and they are hawkish as hell. Must mean something. Can’t be mere coincidence.
It does mean something…the media all media is owned by corporations and they will do what they must to protect their investments….no matter who is running.
RE: ” . . .It does mean something…the media all media is owned by corporations and they will do what they must to protect their investments….no matter who is running.. . .”
So are you telling me that the Media are campaigning so hard for Hillary because their investments depend on it?
If their investments depend on their campaign for Hillary Clinton what does that say about who owns the MSM?
Yes it does…..it says that thew media is nothing but a propaganda arm of the government….in all things….look at who owns NBC GE/ComCast…..part of the M-IC….Clinton is a hawk and they need her to win….investment.
Clinton was chosen years ago. I have been talking about the coming coronation for a couple of years now. I don’t think there is anything or anyone who can change the outcome of this election which was decided in high places somewhere around the year 2008 — or perhaps earlier during the reign of Clinton 1.
See we agree…..but I see it as more a friend to industries that make the most cash,,,,,her DLC relationship stems from Bubba who was a conservative in liberal clothing…
It is the industries that make the most cash who control the Military/Industrial Complex through an as-yet-unidentified cabal (Formerly called everything from “Illuminati” to “Rothschild Cabal” to “Rockerfeller Cabal” to “The New World Order” blah, blah, blah –and it is this bunch (whoever they are) that controls the MSM and who the subleties of their manipulations are slowly causing all America to think in “Politically Correct” brainwash terms so as to change the normal to the “New Normal” the cabal needs for ultimate total control.
Sorry I do not buy into the Illuminati or the One World Order thing……but I will concur with the media….all the corporate media is nothing more than a propaganda machine bent on indoctrination….they have succeeded in the past 30+ years.
Can’t tell whether it all stems from Hagel or Kant.
Which one smoked the most “stems”….LOL
I think it was Gothe who smoked the most stems.
Then the others were shooting up with Sherlock….
or selling newspapers printed in East Germany on the street corners of America seeking their fusion-powered utopia underwritten in the blood of dialectic economics. Been there, done that!
what about the hate filled KKK newspaper…apparently that is somehow okay for few mention them….that is where the US is heading and the crisis that you are predicting
I have never seen a copy of the “hate-filled KKK newspaper.” It must be widely known.
And I have never seen an East German printed newspaper in the states….so we are even….
The newspapere was named, “New Solidarity” and was printed from information teletyped from Weisbaden, Germany to some recievers located in an abandoned warehouse building in Detroit, Michigan. It was hawked on street corners by members of The National Caucus of Labor Committees.
Okay I believe Weisbaden is in what use to be West Germany…
The paper was dedicated to almost pure Marxist politics. I spent some time on street corners with the vendors.
AH! That explains your moments of brilliance….he said with a smile and a wink….
🙂
I seem to remember the title if nothing else…..there were so many back in those days…..
Any ex CIA person would remember the name, Lyndon H. Larouche, Jr., wouldn’t they? Does that ring a bell? It was his paper.
a convicted felon….vaguely
He actually made it to candidacy for the president of the United States in 1976.
Sorry I was working overseas then and did not pay much attention to US politics was a bit busy covering my butt…LOL
correct that to “It must NOT be widely known.
It is if you go around the South….cannot remember what it is called because I would not wipe my neighbor’s ass with it and I do not particularly like him….best suited for the liner in your bird’s cage.
The ones I remember reading about are (were) “The Searchlight” and “The Firey Cross.”
That sounds like it would be correct…like I said worthless rags for the collection of shit
And I always thought it was a Christian organization of some kind.
Pings appreciated….much thanx…chuq
