MEDIA MIND CONTROL IN THE WAR ON TERROR

In the movie “The Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy and her compatriots finally come upon the palace of the Wizard, and in the main hall a huge head faces them, talks, breaths fire and smoke and holds the terrorized but rapt attention of anyone who looks upon his face. That is until a curtain is moved and we find that the Wizard is actually a little wimpy old man who just works levers and pushes buttons to make the huge head talk and move.
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” the Wizard yells into a microphone, hoping the huge talking head will make Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow ignore the facts and concentrate on the illusion.
As in the Wizard of Oz, the American people are transfixed on our own talking heads that come from our own Wizard boxes every night on the evening news. And the “news media” understands completely how much power they have over the minds of the masses, even those who say “it’s all lies and you can’t trust the media.”
By using graphic images, focusing only on what they want you to see and hear, shaping events by reporting only on those that fit the media’s political agenda, ignoring anything that is counterproductive to their goals, they control an empire that is actually a fourth arm of government. And, they control our minds.
One example that occurs nightly since the “War on Terror” began, and especially since the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, is the “tributes to our fallen heroes.”
Wrapped in a thin veil of alleged “patriotism”, the evening news now makes a daily point of “honoring” those killed that day with color photos of them in uniform, photos of them as children, and quotes from their parents, school teachers, coaches, and then a brief bio to humanize the subject.
But what is really happening is that the body count, kept like a scorebook, is being paraded in front of us in a manner that psychologically affects us as individuals. Instead of “honoring” the casualties, in reality we see more people being lost, and for what? We see the young faces, the faces of our kids and our family members who are trying to help a country get on its feet after decades of dictatorial oppression, and we think “It’s not worth it! We need to get out of there and let the country sink of its own weight.”
This psywar maneuver of “bringing out the dead” is as old as warfare itself. By displaying dead enemy corpses to the enemy soldiers, ancient armies hoped to frighten and influence the morale of the opponents in such a manner it would shape the outcome of the battle or the war. However in many cases it only enraged the enemy into an even more combative mindset, which had the opposite effect.
However in Vietnam, by late 1965, our socialist media discovered that the power of television could actually influence politics by bringing the war into our living rooms on a daily basis. One early case in point was when CBS reporter Morley Safer flew in a helicopter into a village complex near Da Nang shown on the map as Cam Ne. While there he and his cameraman filmed some Marines burning the roofs of grass huts with lighters, then solemnly spoke into the camera that we were burning down the ancestral homes of the villagers, implying it as almost a war crime, or at least a wanton act of American savagery.
However, he did not mention the fact that Cam Ne was a huge underground tunnel complex and the headquarters of the Viet Cong’s Doc Lap R-60 Battalion, which was the guerrilla unit that continuously attacked the Da Nang airbase with mortars and satchel charges, booby trapped all the local trails and roads, and emplaced mines on the main highways and bridges. Nor did he mention that the “village” was actually only camouflage for the underground complex and we had suffered casualties in the vicinity for three weeks before that particular search-and-clear mission, and that no one lived there. Instead, the American people saw the first images of the anti-war reporting that was to follow on the Vietnam war. They saw what appeared to be the US Marines committing an act of barbarism in graphic detail. And it was all lies.
But the media learned well on that day and after. Simply get the footage, get plenty of smoke and mirrors and blood and dust, and then make up any story you want. The motto evidently was “guilty until proven innocent” for our forces.
FEMINISM... DESTROYING AMERICA
Of course, feminism is not the only influence assaulting the family. The black family in this country used to be relatively stable. Black illegitimacy used to be lower than its white counterpart today. Then the federal government labored night and day to destroy the black family, with considerable success. But feminism is by far the deadliest enemy the family faces.
In fact, feminism is presently destroying our military. Feminism is the principle at work when a military man is accused of failing to make nice in Iraq. Feminism is the reason we give the enemy – not our own men – the edge that decides who lives and who dies. The entire U.S. military is being retooled to accommodate some uniformed bull dykes at the Pentagon who aspire to flag rank.
RANK MEANS SOMETHING :-)
