 Orwell That Ends Well posted by Randall Amster via fleet, 2010-09-08 06:58:31
In just the past week, a friend lost his cellphone, and another was robbed. One fell asleep in the bathtub, and another visited her old elementary school. A number had interesting fare for dinner. Some liked the weather, others lamented it. One notable presence in particular diligently posted her whereabouts at all times. Pretty typical stuff actually, and almost none of it interesting in the least. (full story and 1 comments)

'Perception Management' and Information Warfare posted by via fleet, 2010-08-27 19:58:10
The following video documentary exposes the mass media as an orchestrated, managed, propaganda machine -- in other words it has become a thoroughly corrupted medium serving a tiny minority that clearly does not have the best interests of society at heart.
Interviews with highly respected academics and analysts are featured in the doco; they include such luminaries as Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn and Michael Parenti.
The video is a balanced, in depth historical view of the forces that shaped the mass media into what it is today -- it is highly recommended viewing. (full story)

 WikiLeaks: CIA as "exporter of terrorism" posted by Ellen Nakashima via fleet, 2010-08-25 20:46:14
The United States has long been an exporter of terrorism, according to a secret CIA analysis released Wednesday by the Web site WikiLeaks. And if that phenomenon were to become a widely held perception, the analysis said, it could damage relations with foreign allies and dampen their willingness to cooperate in "extrajudicial" activities, such as the rendition and interrogation of terrorism suspects.

Former Oz PM, Paul ‘fingers’ Keating, once stated that when he wished to distract the public and the media he would throw the media hounds (dogs) a ‘bloodied piece of (sensational) meat’ -- spoken like a true politician and criminal arsehole. (full story and 2 comments)

The Politics of Oz Internet Censorship posted by Kismo, 2010-08-05 22:46:07
Even demented Oz analysts and commentators (mostly employed by the mass media) would have advised that imposing a retrogressive 50’s policy in 21st century Australia -- mandatory information censorship -- would be suicidal for any political party stupid enough to attempt to implement it. But that FACT was and REMAINS lost on the incumbent, inept, policy failed, Labor Party. (full story)

Inside The US/NATO Military Industrial Media Empire posted by Peter Phillips via stan, 2010-07-04 19:51:57
We face what appears to be a military industrial media empire so powerful and complex that truth is mostly absent or reported in disconnected segments with little historical context. A case in point: The London Times reported on June 5, 2010, that American troops are now operating in 75 countries. Has President Obama secretly sanctioned a huge increase in the number of US Special Forces carrying out search-and-destroy missions against al-Qaeda around the world? If so, this increase is far in excess of special-forces operations under the Bush administration and reflects how aggressively Obama is pursuing al-Qaeda behind his public rhetoric of global engagement and diplomacy. Somehow this information didn’t make it into the US media. (full story)

The Secret State's Mad Scheme to Control the Internet posted by Tom Burghardt via Kismo, 2010-06-27 21:13:47
Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz once famously wrote that "war is the continuation of politics by other means." A century later, radical French philosopher Michel Foucault turned Clausewitz on his head and declared that "politics is the continuation of war by other means." In our topsy-turvy world where truth and lies coexist equally and sociopathic business elites reign supreme, it would hardly be a stretch to theorize that cyber war is the continuation of parapolitical crime by other means.

By Accident or Design it remains Counter Intelligence posted by stan, 2010-05-12 08:40:12
A vid is doing the rounds on Corporate GOOGLE’S censored Youtube, think about that for a minute! It depicts some fat yank claiming to be a former intelligence agent, blah, blah. Well, they’re a 'dime a dozen' (as the yanks say) over there. Everything this clown is saying is passé, years if not decades old strategies. For the PAST five or more years the hubs have been diligently doing everything this person wants us to do NOW – get it? His discourse is regressive/retrograde, it's designed to reverse current EFFECTIVE trends, which are devastating the criminals in power! (full story)
